What is the best video card for 3D?

I'm getting a 2008 Mac Pro, will equip it with 10GB of RAM. What is the best video card for 3D rendering? I've read that the stock ATI 2600 card is woefully inadequate. I've also read that the NVIDIA 8800 card is better for gaming, and has caused some problems anyway. I can't spring for the top-end Quadra card that Apple offers. Are there good, cost-effective options for 3D work? Can I even get a video card on the open market that is not flashed by Apple?

Basically there are only three options available:
1. ATI 2600
2. ATI 1900
3. NVidia 8800
The latter is the best of the three. See benchmark results at Bare Feats.
You cannot use a video card not provided by Apple because they will not work with OS X or the hardware.

TS1935 I have the video card model . What is the best video card for a 1.6GHz PowerPC G5 please?

Hello
What is the best (most modern and reliable) video card (AGP) which will work in a 1.6GHz PowerPC G5 (mid 2003)?
I believe I have ATY,RV350, and according to the attached article, it may be causing video start up problems.
Thank you
Adam

Hi Adam,
See japamacs page here on the best AGP cards for G4s & G5s...

Rated slowest on top, fastest on bottom.
Though with no power loght & such, I'm not sure that is the problem or not... does the Hard drive(s) spin up?

What is the best video card for an Early 2008 Mac Pro

I have an early mac pro with a solid state drive. I use Adobe CC 2014. The old video card is not working. I loaded Yosemite and have bad problems using Prem Pro CC.
Any suggestions on the most suitable video card?

We love it when people want us to guess what video card and other items you have .... price is no object of course right.... and you want CUDA? so that means a GTX this time instead of what you have (5770 upgrade? no, the original 2600XT that really should have been ditched long ago).
Yosemite also makes more demands on the GPU.
The GTX 680 Mac Edition EVGA would be the first, though people are using even newer graphic cards in the Nvidia line.

WHAT IS THE BEST VIDEO CARD FOR FINAL CUT PRO and MOTION?

Hello folks,
I have found a lot of posts regarding all kinds of troubles with ATI READEON X1900 video card.
When I talked to people from Apple, trying to decide which videocard to install in new MAC PRO, Ati Radeon X1900 was the one they did recommand for FCP and Motion. So are there any other cards which would actually suite better for Final Cut Studio2, or is Ati Radeon X1900 really the one to go with?
Thanks for any suggestions,
Kootenay

Techreport has some more information on the new 55nm Radeon (X3000) which should be another "mid November" releases, as well as an updated 8800 GT that still is under wraps.
So seems Intel and everyone else is trying to get new products out before the end of the year, if possible.
Drivers for graphics controllers may or may not need the work that sometimes seems to plague companies.

What's the best video card for both Premiere and AE on an iMac?

I remember seeing that one card works great with Premiere but then AE doesn't like it as much for 3D.
I have Premiere CC but only CS5 for AE. I might subscribe to AE CC if it's worth it.

What is the best video card for late 2003 PM G4 MDD'?

I, currently, use an ATI 9600 PC/Mac edition 256 MB card in this Mac.
It's performance is okay for most things except for 720p video.
I know it will never be possible for this old workhouse to view and play 1080p video, but I am on the hunt
For a better card that may get me better streaming and playback of 720p video as well as better/faster capatibilty on
OS X 10.5.8.

Does this particular card need additonal power from the power supply?
Yes.
If so, where does this plug into?
Pull it from a hard drive power connector or use a Molex splitter if all are in use.
Is the MDD power supply able to handle extra powering of a video card?
Yes.
the instructions mention using this card with a PCI slot cooler?
Optional, but due to the MDD being a hot beast not a bad idea.
Are these cheap and where can I purchase, easily either from electronics chain or internet?
Cheap and easy.
http://www.xoxide.com/thermaltake-cyclo-blue-slotcooler.html
Can this card be used without it or the temps inside the MDD be too high.
YMMV. Depends on how hot the MDD runs and how far overclocked the X3 is.
My experience with video cards is , usually, plug and play made for Mac cards.
This ain't a Mac card. It's a hacked for Mac card. Things are different on the dark side, and usually a lot faster.....
Can the slot cooler be placed in any open PCI slot?
Yes.
Does it have to be near the video card?
Doesn't matter. It's there to help with the MDD heat issues.
Where does this plug in to get power to the fan?
Same as the graphics card with the same answer regarding PSU ability, etc., etc.
Will I have to move PCI cards around to install the slot cooler?
Dunno. Ain't seen inside your machine.
Will this fan make my MDD even more noisier than it is now.
Add two fans, likely.
The linked PCI cooler isn't loud, and the X3 is only loud running full tilt.
The MDD's regular fans never power down.
Doe you use CHUD and Nap mode? If not, your wrong.....
567DFEE3-A0A8-4602-9722-FCFCD76D8837.html

You're asking an awful lot, especially since you gave the points to the guys that don't put any work (or money) into this subject....

What is the best video card for my G4/733/Quicksilver?

I currently have a great 128mg Radeon dual output card but video/graphics (Dashboard, flash sights, etc.) is pretty sluggish. I'm not gaming but I want things to be smooth graphically... especially to utilize the OpenGL. (Don't know really what this means but from what I have read it's important to have a card that utilizes this.) I don't know much about this but would like some guidence. I'm not wanting to spend that much... under $100.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
SB

Look at:
<http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Apple/630ATI96G4/>
Upgrading to OSX Tiger will take advantage of the Core Image support on this board.
Download and install "ATI Displays 4.5.7" and "ATI OS9 RADEON Update" before you install the card. If you are not using the latest OSX, also install the OSX ATI driver update from ATI.

Best Video Card for non 3d/compositing work in Premiere CS4?

Hi all, I'm looking to optimize my system where I can to speed up the editing process. I edit 1080p footage from the Canon 5D MKII (h.264 MOV files)using half-res h.264 proxies, but CS4 seems to hang a lot in the timeline view and clips just disappear and instead show green. I'm switching to half-res MPEG-2 (.m2v) proxies now and so far that problem seems to have gone away (still testing), but when timeline display quality is at "High Quality" (vs. automatic) there's still some chop during slow pans (not seen with "Automatic" or "Draft Quality").
Anyway, I'm looking for the weakest point in my system and suspect the video card. My system is an 2.66 i7 processor, 6GB 1333 ram, 1x160GB sata II HD (OS/Apps), 3x1TB SATA II RAID 0 (paging file, data), and an $80 ATI 4650 512 MB video card running Vista 64.
So all that said, what's the best general graphics card for editing HD video in Premiere CS4? I don't care about 3d or compositing at this stage, just basic editing of unrendered (timeline playback) HD video, maybe sometimes 1-3 HD layers, some basic color correction effects (b+w, contrast, etc), dissolves, text overlay, some clip speed manipulation.
Many seem to recommend the Nvidia quadro cards, but I haven't found any information to suggest they help with anything other than 3D/compositing, which I don't need (and therefore don't need to pay the premium).
There's also the Nvidia CX card, but it's main feature is touted as encoding h.264, whereas I could care less about that and ideally need decoding of h.264 in the timeline to be better. I haven't seen any great reviews on this card of heard of average user testimonials, probably because it's $2k and it mainly marketed as "zoom more fluidly in photoshop, export h.264 4x faster", which seem like minor issues vs. "better realtime playback of HD video".
I sort of rambled, but if any informed CS4 users can help answer the question regarding the best video card for general CS4 editing use (not 3d/compositing stuff) I'd love to get more insight.

So in Media Encoder CS4, I tried encoding one of the clips that plays back the least smooth in the Premiere timeline (a slow pan across intricate patterns on a sand dune in death valley) to the following:
Format: P2 Movie, Preset: DVCPRO HD 720P 30
(this was the only format in media encoder that mentions DVCPRO HD)
I noticed when trying to customize the setting, that there is no 30 fps option, just 23.976, 29.97, and 59.94. I just went with 29.97 as that was the closest to the 30 fps of the source MK II footage. The width and height were also unajustable at 960x720 for the DVCPRO HD format.
Playing the output in the timeline view of Premiere was comparable in smoothness to the m2v file. I looked at my resource monitor during playback looking for bottlenecks, and the CPU does seem to spike at 100% initially when playing this clip back. I reverted to the m2v version and also saw the same CPU spike. I also reverted back to the down-res'd mp4 version, same spike. Moving display quality down to draft does allow for smooth playback here.
So I guess there's something about this clip that is CPU intensive to play back in the timeline in any of these formats. The original 1080p version plays back perfectly in both quicktime and VLC player.
Anyway, for now I think I'm content with using the m2v proxies as a big chunk of the clips are fairly smooth, and using a reduced quality display mode for clips that don't play as smoothly is accpeptable for now. At least so far I'm not seeing the hanging/video not displaying (and instead showing a green screen) that I was with the mp4 proxies.
If anyone has any other suggestions as to how to get smoother timeline playback for these proxies (or the original h.264 .MOV files), however, whether it be a hardware upgrade (e.g. better video card) or a different proxy codec, I'd love to hear them and give it a shot.

Best video card for my mac

Hey,
I just need help finding the best video card for my Powermac g4 fw800. One that my system can use fully. I currently have a Radeon 9000Pro with 64MB. Thanks
~R

Hi
The ATI 9800-256MB is currently the best card for your system. Actually, there are no other NEW video cards available.
BTW, xlr8yourmac hasn't done a video card review in years, they are just a bulletin board/newsletter now. If you are interested in seeing current testing of available video cards, check out:

Best video card for Archlinux?

What is the best video card for Archlinux distribution?
Is it possible to make Radeon HD 4870 work somehow in Archlinux, the same way like it works in Ubuntu?

Just see what drivers are you using with your ubuntu install? Catalyst/xf86-video-ati/radeonhd and install the same on arch.

Best video card for G4 tower?

What's the best video card for my G4 tower without breaking the bank?
I have the dual 500nhz, 2GB ram, OSX 10.4.
I currently have a nVidia Gforce64mb with a small fan.

No you're OK...
There is DVI-I, DVD-D, & DVI-A, DVI-I contains both DVI-A & DVI-D, HDMI uses DVD-D, (Digital), so it can connect to DVI-I or DVD-D.
Those 4 holes are only used for DVI-A, (analog).

Best Video Card for the G5?

What's the best Video Card I can put in my G5?
Currently I've got a:
Mac Dual 2.7 GHz PowerPC G5, w/4GB DDR SDRAM, and 256 MB total of VRAM. The existing graphics card is the: NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GT DDL
Thanks!
Matt

Hi,
If you haven't noticed, there are only two choices available from Apple. The nvidia 6600 (slower than yours) and the ATI X800 (similar to yours).
There is a place that flashes Nvidia 7800's from PC to Mac, I installed one the other day and it works perfect in a Quad.
In addition, there was a contract signed last month between XFX and Apple for upgrade video cards for Mac G4's and G5's. It was reported that this merchandise may be available by Summer (nothing definite).

Dave

What is the best Video Card I can get for an Early 2008 Mac Pro?

What is the best Video Card I can get for an Early 2009 Mac Pro3,1?

A 3,1 is "Early 2008" with DDR2 FBDIMMs, Intel 54xx Harpertown, and not 2009 Nehalem with DDR3.
http://www.barefeats.com bench tests. A 3,1 does not improve as much due to its old PCIe 2.0 implementation for one thing.
"Best" is hugely subjective. For what? cost versus performance and whether you need CUDA support or AMD - dual AMD's for FCP-X for instance.
I think GTX 970 right now is close to "best".
And of course shop here:

Best video card for Aperture

Hi
Which is for you the best video card built for Macpro to use with Aperture, excluding the1,5GB card from Apple store?
The 8800GT 512 is great one?
I think I'll use in future with an Apple cinema display 23".
Thanks
Koferc

Barefeats seems to like the Radeon HD 3870 Mac for the Mac Pros. I ordered my MP with the 8800 GT upgrade, but as steebow posted above it appears the ATI has better drivers, so that the 3870 upgrade seems to be the way to go. Aperture was not tested, but in other Core Image tests it seems to do better on the 3870:
http://www.barefeats.com/harper16.html
Here's a recent test of 10.55 compared to 10.5.4 for the two cards as well:
http://www.barefeats.com/harper20.html
The 3870 is available at OWC for $217.99:
