Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this card to replace the stock video card (NVidia GeForce 6600) in my G5 Quad. Processing in Aperture was kind of pokey with that card and I was looking for an improvement. With the X1900 imports are about four times as fast (a huge, and welcome, surprise) and as I had hoped various editing features are also significantly improved.
I did have a few drawing glitches with early versions of Leopard but these corrected themselves as Apple sent updates.
The only downside to this card is noise; when it's being used hard (not only for Aperture but also video/DVD display) its fan really blows, making the Quad a whole lot noisier. For day-to-day use, though, it is fairly quiet.
If you need more speed this appears to be the only aftermarket choice for G5 PCIe, and unfortunately it commands a high price as a result even though it is a couple of generations behind at this point. Still, it is a superb performer relative to the stock Apple offering. Recommended.
