MaaseyRacer Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 My PCI-E X1900GT has just died. I have an X800 lying around, that I am going to use as an interim card. However, I am looking at spending no more than $200 on a new card. I mainly work in Adobe Creative suite, most of my design is 2D. I just purchased CS4 and I am excited about using the GPU to process large images. I am looking at the 3870 mac & PC edition, would I have to install drivers to get this card to work, or will OSX86 recognize it as native since it is a mac card? If it works native, with no graphic strings or drivers I think I may be done. Any one have any info? How is the support with the 9800GTX/9800GTX+? I see folks have it working, but I have not seen too much discussion of how well it works. The 9800GTX+ is the same price as the 3870 and from what I can tell way more performance. It just seems that I will have to put in a little more work to get it going. Any thoughts as to what I should do? This will be going on my P5K-VM board, with an E8500, and 4GB of RAM (8 to come soon). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaaseyRacer Posted October 30, 2008 Author Share Posted October 30, 2008 I now see that there are some real Nvidia 9000 series drivers out there. Plus the 9800 pricing seems to be dropping. I am leaning that way. Which one should I get the GTX or the GTX+? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
