goofy Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I need a more powerfull Graficcard. And i want to buy the most compatible and fastest card. The 8800GT is maybe the first choice cause i comes with the Mac Pro. But is the new 8800GTS as compatible as the GT ? Cause then i will buy the GTS instead of the GT.

strangedaze Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I dont this the g92 gts is compatible correct me if im wrong. They g92 gts will take the gt in performance though.

Synaesthesia Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Yeah, it is compatible. So get a 8800GTS. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/87928-should-i-buy-a-8800gt-or-8800gts-g92/#findComment-628193 Share on other sites More sharing options...
papillon68 Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I'd definitely go for a 8800GT with 512 or 1GB, possibly Asus. It can be easily overclocked and match, even outclass the GTS. And of course is lss expensive.

goofy Posted February 18, 2008 Author Share Posted February 18, 2008 Thanks I decided to buy a ECS Elitegroup 8800GT 512MX+ HS 512MB DDR3 Heatpipe Which has the Artic S1 cooler preinstalled, it is also a bit overclocked and cheap, what should i want more. I hope it will run good under Leopard, but i think it will run as any 8800GT.

I am currently in the process of wanting to make such a machine myself so I am very interested.  Best wishes  Jakob Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/87928-should-i-buy-a-8800gt-or-8800gts-g92/#findComment-632613 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnjmarlboro Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I'm very interested too. Please share your experiences with the Elitegroup 8800gt as soon as possible Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/87928-should-i-buy-a-8800gt-or-8800gts-g92/#findComment-633712 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclonefr Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 You did the right choice. GTS isn't that much more powerful for its price.

goofy Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share Posted February 21, 2008 i did not receive the ECS Card till now, but will report here when arrived. As i said i dont think/hope the ECS 8800GT MX+ is problematic, there should be no difference to the other cards.

goofy Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 The card seems to run, at least with NVinject 0.33 i have 2 DVI Monitors and QE Will try with EFI Strings, lets see. But the card seems to be as any other GF 8800GT.

ridgecity Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I have the same ECS 8800 GT but I can't run dual monitors using dvi-to-vga adapters, can you try to see if it works on yours?
