  • Is the Graphics card attatched to the logic board?

  • Hi. I have an ATI Radeon 9650 graphics card and wondered if it's better than the 9600 Pro edition?

  • depends on if ur intel based or not n maybe other stuff to... but most of them now u can... if u bought it recently 5 yrs probably u cann

  • i don't want to force it out and find out later i've broken something, do you know anything about this? thanks for your help and your vidio. barkley.

  • hi there , i was trying to remove the graphics card from my power mac, its an nvidia geforce 7800GT 256mb, and the mac is a dual 2.3 powerpc g5, late 2005 version. I uncrewed the screw on the right side like you say but it doesn't want to pull out it seems stuck fast . in the apple service source manual it says there is also a clip holding it in place which should be unclipped but i see no clip there, just the screw on the right.

  • Do you know where I can get the ATI Radeon 9600 graphics card drivers or kexts? It's an original graphics card, but it's stuck at 800x600 and thinks it is a 9700.

  • That was easy

  • @PowerbookMedic can you put an ATI HD Radeon 5770 or 5870 in the g5 im really lazy and dont feel like researching if you can.
