Mackilroy Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 The GTX 260 is fine. How would you install it? Unscrew the old one and screw the new one in.

Unscrew the old one and screw the new one in. lol, i was referring to software, what file would i have to change for my SL install to recognize the new video card. Currently I'm waiting on a deal on a GTX260, does brand matter much for compatibility? appreciate the info Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/218396-8600gt-upgrade-suggestions-for-graphicvideo/#findComment-1518271 Share on other sites More sharing options...
