Atomsk Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 My 1800XL kicked the bucket recently and I am wanting to upgrade to a new video card right now I am torn between the 8800GT and the HD3870 both are similar in price and I know how they perform in windows but was curious if they are the same in OS X or not.

Can't speak on the HD3870 directly, it seems as per the sticky above that it is being worked on by netkas currently. I own an 8800GT and i love it, works great on the pc and fully supported with nvinject on osx leopard but i guess if i were you i'd be askin myself if crossfire is something i wanted in the future since you can't run SLI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomsk Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 Well I don't care about Crossfire or SLI I hardly ever use windows anymore but I was just curious because I know some cards may perform better at Direct3D than others but maybe be worse at OpenGL than the same card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
