I have an early 2008 mac pro and I am running zbrush in a win emulator. I noticed they have some wicked fast cards that are cheep on the PC, but the Mac ones go up to 1400!!! - what are the best mac-compatible graphics cards that will work for me?
If you’re asking about graphic cards to use with zbrush, it doesn’t matter as the cpu and ram are the important factors. the graphics card isn’t important.
If not for zbrush, it depends what you need the graphics card for specifically.

Well, I have a mac pro (2008) 8 core 2.8GHz with 8 gigs of ram. I am attempting to teach myself zbrush with the videos from zclassroom and lynda.com. It keeps crashing and I am not over 4M pollys. When I increase the canvas size it gets really bad and when I compact memory it does not seem to help. I thought it must be the graphics card… I have a 256 meg (stock card). I get basically the same results running zbrush 3.2 on mac or 3.5r3 on a Parallels. I have a 30 inch screen and the standard canvas just seems too small. Any suggestions would be great.
-thanks.
