[QUOTE="ocharlas, post: 977583, member: 139455"] A couple weeks ago I started having a problem where my display wouldn't turn on when I woke my computer up from sleep, and it gradually got to a point where it won't turn on period. I hooked up another monitor just to make sure it wasn't my display and it didn't work either so I have to assume it's the graphics card. Unfortunately I'm out of warranty (it was an applecare replacement so they wouldn't let me put applecare on this machine) So anyway, due to budget restraints I'm not necessarily looking for an upgrade, I just want to get my computer going again. It's a late '08 Mac Pro 8 core 2.8 and came with a Radeon HD2600XT. So my question is this: Do I have to specifically get the Mac version for these cards? I've done some research and it seems like there are a bunch of companies pumping out "Radeon HD2600XT"s that are waaay cheaper than the Mac branded one -$100 vs $250. I'd rather get a Mac one but it's not worth it another one will work. On that note, if anyone has any used card that will work for me please let me know. Thanks [/QUOTE]
