Clark I invented modding! Registered: 03/13/08 Posts: 2376 Loc: Massachusetts	I don't know how true this is but according to Engadget the GTX 285 is coming to Macs in June. The GTX 285 is the most powerful single gpu video card available to consumers! Like I said, stay tuned, good things are coming! _________________________ Do not argue with an idiot.

Clark I invented modding! Registered: 03/13/08 Posts: 2376 Loc: Massachusetts	I sent my 4870 (512MB) card back to Apple. I want something bigger and better even if it is the 4870 1GB card. The 4870 driver is in 10.5.7. I wonder what else may be available with 10.5.7? _________________________ Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

SgtBaxter F'n HO.P.A.� Registered: 05/10/02 Posts: 5238 Loc: Hampstead, MD, USA	I've been happy with my HD4850 so far, but I'm starting to want something else... lol. I wonder if I should just get another 4850 and xfire them together. That's still a wicked fast setup, and would push this 22" monitor for another year probably. Plus it would cost only about $100. I did break down and buy a Zalman cooler for the thing. Went from 80C during games to less than 40C. But it is the original card, the newer ones don't have the same heat issues I don't believe.
