Re: Core Image and Quartz Extreme
I finally have a video card that supports Core Image and Quartz Extreme. As an added bonus, it works. Which card would that be? Do you get better YouTube video too? And how about DVD video Just as a point of comparison, I'll mention that I've replaced the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128 MB with a GeForce FX5200 256 MB (both flashed PC cards, the latter fixed and in for testing). In terms of streaming video, comparative results (subjective in nature) were mixed. I'll probably keep both cards and continue to use the FX5200 unless and until I encounter problems with it. For a MDD, between these two, I suspect more people here would recommend the Radeon 9800 Pro.

Re: Core Image and Quartz Extreme
Hi, I finally have a video card that supports Core Image and Quartz Extreme. As an added bonus, it works. Which card would that be? Do you get better YouTube video too? And how about DVD video? I have a Dual 1.25 MDD running Tiger.

Re: Core Image and Quartz Extreme
Which card would that be? Do you get better YouTube video too? And how about DVD video? ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128 MB AGP, a PC card flashed for Mac. Streaming video is noticeably better overall - haven't checked YouTube, don't look at much of that, but let's see... Nah, Flight Of The Conchord's Business Time is as choppy video-wise as I remember it being. Sounds great, though. DVD video, hmmm, wasn't ever disappointed with how the stock card handled that, but in watching some older Seinfeld episodes on DVD it was especially noticeable how grainy they were compared to later ones, which would seem to indicate that the new card is truer to the source and thus better. No surprise there. Well, I was surprised that I noticed it. I have a Dual 1.25 MDD running Tiger. OK, that answers the question I posed in the M-Audio thread.

Re: Core Image and Quartz Extreme
Hi Sean, I have a Dual 1.25 MDD running Tiger. OK, that answers the question I posed in the M-Audio thread. I just replaced my defective mobo in my single 1.25 GHz MDD with a dual one. The functioning and problems of the Revolution 7.1 card were exactly the same in the single processor MDD. Absolutely no difference there. I've had the single CPU MDD for five years and the dual since ten days.

Core Image and Quartz Extreme
I finally have a video card that supports Core Image and Quartz Extreme. As an added bonus, it works. I was thinking that I didn't have anything that would give me a demo of these mystical new graphics capabilities right away. But I looked into it. As a wise man once remarked: Haha, ripples... Yes, I have now seen the rotating cube of Fast User Switching and the ripples of Dashboard widgets for the very first time. I am not kidding when I say that these things alone could keep me entertained for hours. But are there even more cheap thrills available to me in the basic OS (Tiger 10.4.11) and suite of apps? I can't wait.
