I'm not having a problem, I'm just looking for information.
I have an ATI Radeon 9600XT 128 MB in my G5 1.8 DP Mac. It has one ADC port and one DVI port. However, everything I have read says this card has a different arrangement of output ports and was never used in dual processor systems.
So ... what gives? How could this be in my Mac? What might I really have?
Here's a screenshot of my System Profiler:
Dual 1.8 G5, Mac OS X (10.5.8), null
Did you buy this MDD new?
i also suspect it was an upgrade option, as the 2.5 DP released at the same time had a standard 9600XT...

No, I bought this used off eBay. The guy I bought it from r an some kind of server faqrm and I guess this was part of it. He must've grabbed this card from another machine, one of the 2.5 DPs.
Thanks!
Far better card than the original. 🙂
Agreed. I have no complaints whatsoever. I just got a little confused by the information I was getting. While we're still on the subject, let me ask you this:
Do you think this:s card could handle an ultrawide display - 21:9 and 2560x1080 if it was my only monitor? I know the UWHD display uses an HDMI connector, so I'll be looking at getting a DVI to HDMI conversion cable.
Sorry, no, that would require a DVI-Dual Link card...
