I have a Power Mac G5 built August of 2005. My ATI Radeon X850 XT G5 Mac Edition 256MB Video Card is toast. Is it an AGP card? I need to replace it. Will the Apple G5 PowerMac ATi Radeon 9600 XT 128MB Video Card ADC DVI Graphics work on my G5?

Apparently so, but quite a step downwards.
See japamacs page here on the best AGP cards for G4s & G5s...

Hopefully japamac will drop in with more info when the time zones are right.
The 9600 XT will work, but you won't be impressed after life with a X850.
The occasional X800XT OEM can still be found.
This trusted seller has OEM X800XT cards available.
Might get a bargain in this auction.
X850XT cards are dear when available.
IMO, the performance difference between X800 and X850 doesn't really justify $100...

If you don't need the ADC port, a flashed FireGL X3 makes a nice dual DVI X800XT .
The Geforce 6800 Ultra DDL is always a performance value.
Hi,
I have a Geforce 6800 Ultra in my G5 which I am no longer needing, since I am buying a MacBook Pro.
Please let me know if you are interested as I'll be heading over to eBay soon otherwise.
Thanks.
