Hasta La Motion!

I’m going to be beta testing some software soon and am trying to find info on graphics driver support. I tried contacting Nvidia but they are apparently slow at responses.

My main workstation I need to use is an 8-core intel Mac that is maxed out with drives and RAM. I run 2 versions of OS X, Windows 7, and Linux Mint. All run fine and the NVidia drivers work perfectly in all OSs with my stock GeForce 8800 GT.

I now need to upgrade to a better card with 1GB of VRAM or better, and since I have a Mac it seems there are only 2 options: the GTX 285 card ($450 appx) or the Quadro ($1800). Quadro is obviously ideal but I’d rather go with the cheaper option.

The software I am testing is currently only for Linux, and Kubuntu is one of the suggested builds which I planned on using. I have no way of knowing if the Linux drivers will work with either of these 2 cards under Kubuntu since the cards are made for Mac hardware.

There are other supported builds, I think Fedora Core is one of them.

Any info will be appreciated.

Thanks
