Video card for Power Mac G5 (early 2005 Dual 2.0 ghz

by chuck350 Jan 24, 2011 8:18AM PST

I recently picked up a early 2005 Dual G5 2.0 ghz. It has a NVIDIA GeForce 6600 256MB VRAM, (PCI-Express) Video Card in it.

My problem is I need a Video Card with a ADC connector This one has 2 DVI's

I have a chance to pick up a ATI RADEON 9800XT 256MB (DVI/ADC) AGP 8X VIDEO CARD. My ques is will it work in the early 2005 PwrMac G5?

If not what one should I get?

Thanks for your help,

Chuck
