[QUOTE="Cam, post: 720035, member: 20124"] The time has come to finally upgrade the video card in the mac pro. This is entirely down to playing computer games (GTA4 will surely be out soon!) so it only has to run in windows, and I'll continue to use the 7300gt in osx (which I think should work fine). I've been recomended the ATI 4870, which looks great and everything, and is just about affordable (certainly more justifiable than a ps3). Problem is it apparently needs 2 seperate power feeds from the power supply, and I know nothing about that. I don't have access to the mac pro to have a look inside it atm, so I was hoping someone could help me out. Main reason for the hurry is I've been offered one really cheap, so I'd just buy it if it would work... Anyone know? cheers [/QUOTE]
