Hello,
My graphics card which was an ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 MB has just burnt out and I've been told its a common fault with these cards. So I am after a replacement card. I've been told to get a nVidia GeForce 8800GT 512MB as a replacement/upgrade. Is this worth getting or is there any cheaper reliable alternatives?
I would ideally like a Mac card so it boots like a mac should, but could be persuaded if the non Mac card is a lot cheaper.
Edit: It also needs to run duel screens.
My Mac pro is an early 2008 3, 1. Here are the specs;
Mac Pro "Eight Core" 2.8 (2008) Specs (Early 2008, MA970LL/A, MacPro3,1, A1186, 2180) @ EveryMac.com
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Adam
