More about : choice graphics card mac pro 1st generation
Yes it does have 4 slots... I'm not really sure how it works with graphics cards...
I started with a ATI 1900XT that just quit on me so about 2 years ago I upgraded to the Nvidia 8800GT.. which has worked great until now I'm using 3d software ( modo and z brush ) and when I try to sculpt it just dogs.. like 2 to 3 second delays
The NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 512MB i think was the high end graphics card for the time my machine came out I thought it was like $2000.00 new or something ... 500 bucks seems like a good upgrade for my older machine now...
Does having more than one graphics card do anything for improving performance ? Or is it just for like running dual monitors or something ?
