ne0shell Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I bought one of the GeForce 210 cards when they were on special and never could get it working (monitor wouldn't even come on no matter what I tried) so I'm looking for a card that will work out of the box, full accelleration on current Mountain Lion release. My mobo is a GiGa p55a-UD3 with PCIe slot. I've run an old Nvidia 8600GT for years with no issues but I'd like to get something with better performance for GPU encoding, games, etc. Unfortunately I can't really afford to spend more than 100 bucks or so on this without getting my wife bent out of shape, otherwise I'd probably build a whole new machine. This one's been stable and performed well but I'm a bit of a performance geek and would love to have the latest / fastest custom Mac I can.

mickeyd453 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I also have a 9600 GT and its great however i recently built another machine and in that i put a 610 GT and its also great. Not OOTB however just need to add the device id to the nVidea kext and you are away. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~anima Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I'd say get a GT640 or GTX650 if you find one in budget like the zotac gtx650 which often goes for under 100€ around here. Both are quite capable of doing acceptable graphics performance on recent games and cuda. I'm thinking about ditching me 9800Gtx for a gtx650 (65W tdp) as the performance is almost the same.
