nVidia GeForce FX5200 256 MB Graphics Card for Power Macintosh or Xserve PCI slot  Behold.  The last graphics card you'll ever need for PCI. The GeForce FX 5200 is the fourth generation GPU from NVIDIA capable of cinematic-quality visual effects.  Using the CineFX Engine, the GeForce FX 5200  supports advanced vertex and pixel shader capabilities that make complex special effects possible.  NVIDIA's advanced Lightspeed Memory Architecture II makes efficient use of memory bandwidth to alleviate bottlenecks, offering performance that was previously available only on high-end visualization workstations.  When you combine this with the card's 128-bit memory bandwidth (enabled by its 8 memory chips), you get absolutely the best performance for your money.  In addition, this card supports dual VGA displays.  Add a second monitor and enjoy double the desktop real estate without giving up a precious expansion slot.  There are no cheap, signal-attenuating ribbon cables connecting the VGA port to the main circuit on this card, so your display is picture perfect every time.  The large heatsink dissipates heat efficiently without requiring a noisy fan that will eventually wear out and risk burning up your card.  [Note: card does feature a 2-pin plug for power if you decide it needs active cooling].   This is the only PCI graphics card for Mac that provides hardware support of Apple's Quartz Extreme in Mac OS X as well as Core Image in Tiger & Core Animation in Leopard.  Period.  None of the Radeon PCI cards even come close.   If upgrading from a stock rAge128 card, you'll experience OS X the way Apple truly intended (and wonder if you're still using the same machine!).     Features CineFX Engine:  Powers cinematic effects beyond imagination.  With advanced vertex and pixel shader capabilities, stunning and complex special effects are possible.  Lightspeed Memory Architecture (LMA) II:  Alleviates memory bandwidth bottlenecks, providing superior graphics performance and speed. Pixel/Vertex Shader 2.0+:  means hardware Core Image support in Tiger & Leopard! High-Precision Graphics: By combining the incredible dynamic range of today's state-of-the-art 3D motion pictures with 128-bit studio-precision color, the GeForce FX GPUs bring you the industry's best image quality for the most demanding applications. OpenGL 1.5® Optimization and Support: Ensures the best performance and application compatibility for all OpenGL applications. 256 MB DDR memory with full 128-bit memory bandwidth interface Dual VGA display support: extended or mirrored desktop mode Specifications GeForce FX5200 GPU (4 pixel pipeline) 256 MB DDR memory 128-bit memory bandwidth (6.4 GB/sec) 1.1 billion texels/sec fill rate, 68 million Vertices/sec 350MHz RAMDAC Multiple Display connections  dual VGA ports  Analog monitor display modes ** Resolutions and maximum refresh rates (Hz) in thousands and millions of color settings:   up to 2048x1536 @ 75Hz ** Actual available display modes are dependent upon monitor selection  System Requirements Supported Mac OS version any Power Mac or Xserve with PCI slot  Core Image requires G4 processor or better 256MB of system memory DVD-playback requires DVD drive Plug & Play System Software Support Mac OS® X Jaguar v10.2.8 Mac OS® X Panther v10.3.5 or later Mac OS® X Tiger v10.4.x  Mac OS® X Leopard v10.5.x  Boots OS 9.2.2 but only with nVidia extensions disabled (this means no graphics acceleration) Note: Tiger or Leopard server is yet untested.
