sandmanfvrga Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Ok, if you go to buy a PowerPC tower on the Apple.com store, you can put a Nvidia card in there all the way up to a 7000 series card. NOW, to me that says that either Nvidia or Apple (probably Apple) made Nvidia drivers for these cards. SO, why can't these drivers be used or converted for OSX86? Just wondering.

bluedragon1971 Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 They can't be used on OSx86 because, as you stated, they are for PowerPC based systems, not x86. They can't be "converted" because we don't have the source code available for them.

sandmanfvrga Posted May 8, 2006 Author Share Posted May 8, 2006 I was reading on MacVidia and searched around, they are not standard cards and then it made sense. Oh well.
