  2 Dell 2405s and stock MacPro graphics card

  Posted by Bob Cole on August 8, 2006 at 2:17 am

  From the Apple website: NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT “features a 256MB frame buffer and both a single-link DVI port and a dual-link DVI port, making it capable of simultaneously supporting one 23-inch and one 30-inch Apple Cinema Display.” It doesn’t mention the Dell 2405 for some reason.

  1 – Will the GeForce 7300 GT work with two Dell 2405’s (at native resolution of 1920×1200 @ 60Hz)?
  2 – What is the biggest advantage to waiting for the ATI Radeon X1900 XT to become available?
  3 – Which offers more bang for the buck — upgrading to the 3.0 GHz processors, or upgrading to the Radeon?

  Thanks.

  1. Yes.
  2. Motion will supply more RT with the card.
  3. That depends… if you run Motion a lot, probably the card, and if you render a lot probably the 3 gig…

  If you do a LOT of rendering with your projects, both. That’s what we’re looking at right now. The Quad 3.0 with the Radeon.
