~pcwiz Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Don't get a PCI card. Most aren't compatible with OS X and have poor performance overall. If you have a PCI-e slot, then get a PCIe card. For PCIe cards under 100 dollars, I recommend 4: ASUS EN7600GS GeForce 7600GS (any brand) GeForce 7300GS (any brand) GeForce FX5200 (any brand) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/65254-best-pci-video-card-for-osx86/#findComment-462654 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigosx86noob Posted October 4, 2007 Author Share Posted October 4, 2007 is there any way i can split my one pci-e into two of them? or maybe add a slot to my mother board Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/65254-best-pci-video-card-for-osx86/#findComment-463093 Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 No you can't split or add another slot. Here are the only two PCI cards right now that work with OS X, but without QE/CI GeForce FX5200 128MB PCI ATI Radeon 9250 PCI Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/65254-best-pci-video-card-for-osx86/#findComment-463144 Share on other sites More sharing options...
