Aperture Performance: ATI Radeon HD 4870 vs ATI Radeon HD 5870
I have an early 2009 Mac Pro with the ATI Radeon HD 4870 graphics card.
Do you think there will be a significant performance boost using the 5870 over the 4870 with Aperture ? Apple says the 5870 is great for "motion graphics, 3D modeling, rendering, or animation", but not sure if I should expect much improvement using it with Aperture. I am pretty happy with the 4870, so don't want to spend the cash for minimal improvement.
Any thoughts or speculation?- Asked by David S from Anchorage

Early 2009 Quad Core compatibility with the new ATI Radeon 5870 and Dual Displays
Its been 2 about 2 years since I bought my Mac Pro... Currently running an early 2009 2.66 Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon with the ATI Radeon HD 4870... Looking to make a couple upgrades to the system
1) Is it as simple as just swapping the two cards? or do I need additional hardware to make the upgrade?
2) Will the 5870 be compatible with my current 24 inch Mac LED Cinema Display (late 2008)?
3) If I were to run 2 monitors (was looking at the new thunderbolt display)... would it be possible to run one at 1920x1200 and the other at 2560x1440 or do they both need to be running at the same resolution off the 5870? OR would I be better off buying an additional Nvidia GT 120 to run the other monitor??
4) If I did run this setup would my current 8gigs of ram be enough? (I do a lot of HDR photography editing and processing involving multiple layers on very large format files)
any help would be greatly appreciated- Asked by Chris E from Summit

Installing a second ATI Radeon HD 5870 video card to work together in an ATI-crossfire configuration?
If I were to install a second HD Radeon 5870 card, to go with my existing HD 5870 card (using a Y-splitter to get power to both cards from the single pair of PCIe power-plugs), could I get them to work together in an ATI cross-fire configuration?
I'm looking to get twice the GPU power on a single monitor -- not drive two monitors separately. Like what I had with my nVidia SLI setup on my old PC.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Which card with two DVI ports for two Cinemas 30 inch?
I had to return high end 12 core Mac Pro because the ATI Radeon HD 5870 which came with it has only one DVI port and the two Mini ports with limited resolution, max. 1280x800.
Which card with two DVI ports do I need for Mac Pro to support two Cinemas 30 with resolution 2560x1600?

How does the ATI Radeon HD 5870 compare to the nvidia GTX 285?
I am wondering if the consensus is - based on PC tests - that for most apps/games the 5870 is a clear upgrade to the now defunct nvidia GTX 285 for mac?

Is there any noticeable or appreciable improvement in day-to-day use?
This may seem odd but I have yet to find a thread whereby someone is using their ATI Radeon HD 5870 as intended with lets' say; in a 27-inch display with a 2009-2010 MacPro in OS 10.6.6.
Ironically, it’s one of two products on the Apple store (graphics section) that doesn’t list customer feedback.
Anyway, I’m considering the card but want to know what real-world difference (if any) there is for everyday computing. Example: Does it produce ‘better’ image quality when going full-screen or does it result in less hesitation in cover-flow?- Asked by Daniel O from Yuma
