[QUOTE="wmprice1240, post: 897830, member: 99551"] LOL That's the rub...there are always better cards. bobtomay makes an excellent point, running current games against your current card will give you a better idea of your current hardware capabilities that you can then weigh against your needs/wants. In terms of the MacPro, you are limited by the underlying hardware itself. You cannot simply take any graphics card and put it in the MacPro, it has to be specially designed for Mac hardware. This pretty much limits your options to what you have or the cards I posted above. This pretty much eliminates SLI and other options available to PC platforms. This is one of the reasons a few people on this forum have two different systems, one for games and one for everything else :-) The latest drivers for the 285 supposedly have improved dramatically.
