[QUOTE="Tuppy, post: 1918418, member: 408224"] Yes, I just took another look at that list of compatible video cards on the Apple website, and as you said, the 7950 sits right there at the top of the list. Well, I bit the bullet and gave the guy on Ebay $215 for his flashed 7950. Like you say, it's probably too much to pay, but what made the deal attractive is the fact that he's including those two power cables, while most of the other sellers do not, he'll take the card back and give me a refund if I don't like how it performs, and he has a perfect Ebay feedback history, including a lot off good comments by other people who bought the same card from him and report that it works great in their Macs. So, the 32-inch Dell monitor will arrive from Amazon on Monday, and the 7950 card on Wednesday. That will give me a couple of days to try the monitor out with my Mac's stock 5770 card before switching to the 7950 when it arrives. It should provide a good comparison. I'll report here on how it goes, not only to let you know, after all your help, but also in case someone else is interested in doing something similar in the future and runs across this archived thread. Fingers crossed now that all will be well. As usual your help and advice have been invaluable, Nick. I'm learning a heck of a lot from you about monitors and video cards. Many thanks, as usual!
