Power Mac G5 Quad (2.5 Ghz)
4 GB RAM
Mac OS 10.4.11
It runs fine with the GeForce 6600 installed. I just got a Quadro 4500 FX off eBay (uh oh, the seller said it was for the G5) and I get no picture at all, although the system seems to be running: the startup chime sounds, and after a minute I can press volume up/down keys and hear the volume change. I tried both ports using a DVI to HDMI cable (same cable works with the GeForce 6600).
Attached is a picture of the back of the card. I can do closeups of that’ll help.
I’m wondering if this is a PC version that needs to be flashed. Is there any way to tell?
Any other ideas on what might be wrong?
