I always avoid mac_geniuses as if it was the plague.

9 times out of 10 the hacked roms from strangedogs will work. Just keep in mind of the vRam and the GPU core.

I believe it has to be a 6800gt. It is possible to flash a 6800gs, but its harder and requires some hacking of the 6800 rom because of the disabled pipelines. I don't think the "LE" is flashable to Mac. I have flashed several 6800gt's they are great cards. Definitely check with strangedogs.com before buying any other 6800. All of those flashed cards on ebay are way over priced. Its real easy to flash a Nvidia card.

about mac_geniuses:  I bought a Radeon 9600 Pro from them for a good price.  Card screams for a 9600 also.  400MHz gpu and 620MHz memory which is equal to or better vs. many current cards.  Mine is a genuine Apple part though..  not flashed.  anyway, i'm just trying to say that my experience with them was great.

Instead of posting tons of links for cards just go on strangedogs and look at their rom list. Find a card you like that they have a rom for then go on ebay and get the card then flash it.

If you find a 6800GT card from say MSI the ROM to a 6800GT from XFX will work. as long as the ROM can hold the flash firmware.

6800 GT
2121
AGP 4x/8x
350/500 MHz
256MB BGA GDDR3

hm..it becomes difficult.i dont think that i can flash it...
i dont understand what they mean @strangedogs:

DVI Enabled (Arti)
6800 GT
2120
AGP 4x/8x
350/500 MHz
256MB BGA GDDR3
64KB

so this means that i can flash every card....(asus,leadtek,Point of View,PNY etc..)
it only has to have got a 6800GT chip on it..?

do I understand that right?

Greetings

Wookie
