mac pro 1.1 video card

[biogenic]

My video card is dying on my mac pro 1.1... Don;t want to shell out $200 bucks for a new video card since my computer is so old. Anyone here know if I can use an at pc version of the ati 5xxx ot 6xxx series with my computer?

If anyone has an old card that would work with my setup I would gladly buy it or trade for it.

Why not?

Hardware is hardware aint it? Find a card that fits via PCI-E or AGP or PCI and see that it has osx/mac drivers... Hardware is hardware. I refuse to believe that there is a MAC version AND a PC version... Of course what do I know. I do not have a MAC yet.

Most of the Radeon 5xxx series cost less than $100, check out newegg.com, you can sort the graphics cards by their chips.

Also, most video cards have trouble with their fan when it gets old. You can try cleaning/oiling it or replace the fan/cooler on the card.
