ATI 100435060 Video Card ATI Radeon 9600 PRO 256MB DVI/DVI for Power Mac G5 Single. Only 1 left in stock - order soon. APPLE 661-3545 - 661-3545 Video Card, ATI Radeon 9600 - PowerMac G5 Early 2005 A. For the G5 Power Mac owner, it's much faster than the Radeon 9600, 9600 Pro, 9600 XT, and GeForce FX 5200 - cards that came as factory default. And it costs hundreds less than the GeForce 6800 GT, Ultra, and Radeon X800 XT kits that Apple sells in their 'DISPLAYS' section of the online store.
Originally posted August 19th, 2005, by rob-ART morgan, mad scientist ATI has shifted its mid-range retail (aftermarket) Mac graphics card strategy as of today. They are discontinuing the two existing mid-range cards: The two NEW mid-range selections will be: We had a chance to test the Radeon 9600 Pro PC and Mac Edition this week. Without further ado, here's what we learned.. LEGEND ATI's STRATEGIES The Radeon 9600 Pro is called the 'PC and Mac Edition' because it has both PC and Mac ROM code. It's the first graphics card that's compatible with both. Now mid-range Windows PC users can drive the Dual-Link 30' Cinema LCD display without buying an expensive workstation card like the nVidia Quadro or ATI FireGL. For those G5 Power Mac users with a GeForceFX 5200, Radeon 9600 xx, or Radeon 9800 xx who want more 3D speed, ATI offers the retail Radeon X800 XT -- whose MSRP will be lowered by $100 to $399. That makes three price points for Mac users seeking aftermarket AGP graphics cards: $199, $299, and $399. ANALYSIS AND COMMENTS If you run any 3D accelerated apps at highest settings, the gap between mid-range and high-end cards much more pronounced. 'Extreme 3D' users will crave a Radeon X800 XT or GeForce 6800 GT over the mid-range cards, assuming they can handle the price. (The test graphs were produced on our G5/2.5GHz Power Mac with 8GB of memory.) In case you missed this point: The 9800 Pro no longer comes with 8X AGP rating. Though the replacement 9800 Pro is rated at 4X AGP, it will still work in the G5's 8X slot. However, even though the older Radeon 9800 Pro 2X/4X yielded results slightly slower than the Radeon 9800 Pro Special Edition 8X (see the graphs above), that could be as much to with the memory difference (128MB vs 256MB) as the AGP rating. In the past, we have proven that an 8X card is no faster than a 4X card when all other specs are equal. I doubt the AGP bus is being saturated beyond the capability of a 4X rating -- so ATI's decision to go with 4X doesn't really penalize the G5 user. If you feel otherwise, the 8X 'Mac Special Edition' will probably be continue to be sold while supplies last. And there's always the 8X X800 XT. Owners of Macs with 2X AGP slots (like the 'Sawtooth' Power Mac and Cube) are 'orphaned' by these latest changes. Since none of the current ATI offerings are compatible, their only upgrade option is either to find a used Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Edition 2X/4X AGP on eBay or to flash a 4X Windows PC card with the Mac ROM, taping over leads 3 and 11 to enable it to run in 2X slots. Speaking of '2X' Macs, you might take a look at our article where the Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Edition (2X/4X, 128MB) card is compared to lesser 2X cards on a Dual G4/1.4GHz Power Mac and a Dual G4/1.4GHz Cube. For those with ADC displays, purchasing either of the new cards requires them to also purchase a $99 DVI to ADC converter. Yet, with the demise of the ADC display, there's little reason for ATI to perpetuate the ADC connector. Note to those with Radeon X850 XT: ATI will be posting new drivers for the 9600 Pro PC and Mac Edition that includes an updated ATI Displays utility (Version 4.5.3) compatible with the Radeon X850 XT, allowing those owners to access Versavision and 3D Advanced Features (Anti-Aliasing, Anisotropic Shading, etc.).

The Option Key disk selection process works Ok, and Classic functions perfectly under Tiger. A boot after an OS-9 Clean Install starts Ok, but then the system freezes at the first window of the system initialization menu. ATI says that there are no OS-9 drivers for the Radeon 9600, but I'm sure I saw references to them in one of the forums.
Would anyone happen to have OS-9 (i.e. Classic) drivers/software that would work with this graphics card? I do not need the inherent performance abilities of the 9600 under O/S-9, just the ability to boot and use a few simple programs.
Please advise..Al
