Dr. Hurt Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I have been using OS X for 2-3 months now and it is working flawlessly and very quickly. Sound is working in stereo mode and all is graet except for video <and graphics in general> I am using Nvidia GeForce 2 mx/mx400 (64mb) and the latest driver from macvidia. When I switch on a video at normal size <small> it works relativly good, but when I make it any bigger it starts to shutter and becomes almost unusable. QE and CI are not supported. I think that this is because my card is old. I want to buy a new graphics card but don't know which one to choose. I want one that will have smooth video playback. Is radeon 9600 a good choice or what is the best choice? Your help is greatly appreciated....

imike Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 If you don't want upgrade ur motherboard, then 9600 is a good choice. Otherwise, GMA950>GMA900>X1600>X300SE=9600.

I definitly will not update my motherbord because it is a dell and I think it is too valuable. Thank you for your suggestion, but I have one more question... will this card have smooth video and DVD playback? <<I have tons of videos on my computer and on dvds>> Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/17144-help-me-chose-a-new-graphics-card/#findComment-110794 Share on other sites More sharing options...
imike Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I have a x300SE graphics card, It supports QE/CI automatically. This card also has smooth video (Divx, real) and DVD playback. As I know, 9600 is even better than x300SE.
