    Hello,

    i hope someone of this community can help me with a small problem,

    i have a Mac Pro 8 core with 2 ATI Radeon HD 2600 that i use mainly for Motion, FCP and some 3D modeling/rendering. One of the graphic cards went broken today and i am a bit lost with the options opened to me, should i :

    – get a new Radeon 2600 (which is outdated) ?
    – get a newer card (but will it works along with the older card – i was thinking about the Radeon HD 4870) ?
    – get two newer cards and throw away the 2600 (which still works…) ?

    Thank you for your inputs/advices 🙂
