| PowerMac PCI System 7.5 Video Card Options |
Posted by: jdboyd on 2025-01-15 01:44:11
I want to do a System 7.5 setup on a PM 7600. What is the best video card that can support this old OS. Is there something that will get my 1920x1080 (not very period correct I know)? I suspect that a Rage 128 is what I need, but I'm having trouble googling confirmation. Should I just relent and do 7.6 so I can use a Radeon 7000 PCI? |

The Radeon 7000 should also work under System 7.5.2 (?) |

Some Ixmicro cards could reach higher resolutions too. |

curious, why are you going for 7.5(.3-5?) over 7.6.1? and this may be out of your scope but mac os 8.5 and 8.6 are almost completely PowerPC native and run much better on these machines. |

why not? 7.6 is an ugly number. i much prefer the number 7.5.1 |

7.6 is advisable for powerpcs. More stable. |

@croissantking yeah could be inclined to agree with that.
and also as far as I recall yet, the 7.5-vs-7.6 debate seem to only be more reliable on pre-pci hardwares because it seem like certain nubus era things breaks under 7.6's different codebase pieces afaik |
