Right now, I'm kinda looking for a Video Card. I'm interested in the Radeon 8500, but I want a 64 MB model, and I can't find anything that says that there are Mac Drivers for it. I also (obviously) want Mac OS X support. Does this exist? I can't find it on Apple's site or on ATI's site. Right now I'm not really concentrating on Nvidia.. I'm just looking at this point..

--EDIT--
I forgot to mention what my system is:
G4 400, AGP. 384mb Ram OS 10.1.1

Thanks

(Please folks, need some help on this)

I don't think it's Mac compatible. I think your only options from ATi right now are the Radeon cards.

If you go to the Mac page at ATi you won't see the 8500.

Also, I don't believe you can flash PC ATi cards to work on a Mac. Apparently this is possible with other cards? Anyway, I think I saw this in another thread here. Do a search.

Okay, I just found this page at XLR8. It's an old article, but they claim that the 8500 will be Mac compatible. That's "will be" as in this article was written before the release of the 8500.

However, this 8500 FAQ page at ATi doesn't list MacOS as a supported OS. In fact, I couldn't find a single mention of MacOS anywhere on this page.

If it's possible to make this card work on a Mac, the XLR8 pages will have something on it. Scour around in there, but I'd say you're SOL.
