They are always a good starting point to compare prices… Yours sound a little bit high…Īll modern cards do glsl, btw. Default Mac Pro Video Cards Information on the default graphics cards - as well as original options available via custom configuration - are provided on the specs pages for each Mac Pro model. Otherwise get a 3850, they are already 130$ right now…Īll prices are taken from as I suspect you live in the US or Canada. I have a HD4850 and the only thing I am regretting right now is that I didn’t wait for the HD4870x2…
#Ati radeon hd 2600 xt video card for mac pro driver
If you can wait till september, get a 4870 (200$ right now) or 4850(160$right now), it should be in your price class by then…įrom the experts views (review and enthusiast sites and forums) and from my own experience they are the best that are out right now, especially for the price…ĪTI’s driver support for blender is still quite weak, though (on Linux and Windows at least), but they made huge jumps in that category in the past 2 months… HD4 line is already out and beats quite everything in it’s price class, and 2-3 price classes above… HD4870X2 will, from the previews so far be the fastes card on the market… You might just google around for reviews a bit. blenders ati suport should also be much better by september. the 4850 will beat it by then for about the same price.Īfter the aprict demo crashing on ati cards the bf has decided to get some ati cards and get all the bugs out. the ati hd 48XX should be out by then and cheap, and tha’ll easily beat the 8800, infact it’ll beat two 8800s in sli for the 4870. Of those two go with the 8800, but as i under stand it you wont be getting the 'puter till spetember.
