JBLanteigne Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Hi, I own a 3870 that I bought back then for a leopard machine... looks like it doesn't work with SL. I will need to replace it... I've been told that nvidia are now easier to work with for SL... I do video editing and I don't need that much a GPU.. got suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackilroy Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Try a 9800 GT – or if you don't need that, a 9400 GT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBLanteigne Posted June 8, 2010 Author Share Posted June 8, 2010 I know the 9800 GT will be enough for my needs.. however I was expecting a more recent gpu as a suggestion. Let me explain my expectations. Sometimes, when products get old, they still sell for lot of $$ in shops.. and sometimes for like 10$ extra you get the new gen that has way higher resell value (once you sell the used computer) and performs better... However I must also take SL support into consideration, I heard the 9800 GT seems to be widely supported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackilroy Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Go for a GTS 250, then. It's based off of the 9800 but newer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBLanteigne Posted June 9, 2010 Author Share Posted June 9, 2010 Oh so it's just the new version of the 9800? Then I guess the os x support should be the same. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
