Linux recently got full support for the 6xxx series.

[redacted] I'd rather use a 333MHz PowerPC 750 over a 5960X. The G5 is a backup system. I am building a box with two 6176SEs and a Titan X. Profanity isn't allowed in the technical forums, and neither is projecting. -- stahlhart

I have a 6970 running in my PowerMac G5 Quad with Debian. The card is currently using the software rasterizer How do I enable hardware rasterization? Keep in mind that the proprietary drivers are not an option as this is not an x86 system.

Sorry if this is the wrong forum, but is there a for sale/trade section on AnandTech?

I think they are wrong. I don't think they tested 4GB sticks.

I want a PowerPC-based system. I don't like x86. If you can find a system based on (a) Power8(s) for under $3000, I'd seriously consider it, but that isn't possible.

Is there any way other than flashing to make a card work? I want to have a 750 Ti in my PowerMac without having to spend thousands to get a firmware written.

I know that they are PowerPCs. PowerPCs are not proprietary at all; they just have never been as popular as x86 chips. But why does the fact that a CPU is a PowerPC cause GPU compatibility issues?

I am currently using a stock 6600 GT and flashed 7800 GTX512 that will be connected to a 30" 2560x1600 Apple Cinema Display. The PowerMac has dual 970MPs at 2.5GHz (two 970MPs are about as fast as a single AMD FX-8300), will possibly have 20GB of DDR2 (currently have 16GB, but am going to order...

I am going to order two 4GB sticks of RAM for my PowerMac today. It last 2.5GHz quad-core model from late 2005. If it works, I will have a total of 20GB of RAM, in a 6x2GB+2x4GB configuration, up from 16GB, in a 8x2GB configuration. I will post when I check if the RAM is detected by System...
