Should I Upgrade to ATI Radeon HD 4870
Before I plunk down $370 for an ATI Radeon HD 4870 to put in my Mac Pro, I thought I’d ask fellow AE users if this is a wise idea? Will Open GL work with this card? Or is there a better card I should consider for AE?
Thanks.

Hi Kevin,

Open GL won’t work well with any Graphics card….It just doesn’t work well.
There’s little gain to updating your graphics card as far as AE is concerned.

Thanks for the quick response. It appears (now that I have read a few more posts) that AE is best with openGL off in most cases. Hopefully the OpenGL compatibility will improve in the future.
You just saved me $370 😎

I own a sapphire one and it runs very nice, both AE7 and AE CS3 work fast and smooth on it. Just make sure not to install the CCC (catalyst control center) because you will have problems with it. It’s been a long time since this card was released but it’s still a very good card…
