I just picked up a nice Powermac G5 for my grandkids to use with games when they visit. I changed out the 5200 graphics card for a GeForce 6800 Ultra expecting to see some speed gains. I know little about gaming . . actually nothing so I compared utube videos before and after the swap I was surprised to see it is now actually slower, jerky with the newer, faster Ultra card. I did some searching for clues and did find many comments that refer to the Ultra card only in use with Tiger 10.4. I'm running Leopard 10.5.8. Is that actually a problem? I do have a 10.4.11 OSX disc so do I need to replace Leopard with Tiger to get this card to work properly? I'm ok with that if it works. Before I try anything else maybe someone here can give me advice on what to do next. G5 is a 1.8 dual, 3gb ram, 250 gb hd with superdrive. Thanks!
