Im not sure if this is the right forum to post this in, but any way here is my question.

I have found a shop that is selling a used 6800 Ultra that I want to buy for my G5 does any know of any thing I can look for on the card itself that might indicate any problems with it? Or are there any common problems with this card?

Thanks

It's kind of hard to tell from looking at a vid card if it is bad. Just make sure it isn't too dirty and that the capacitors near the power connector don't look bulged or funky (VERY rare for this to happen).

Just confirm that it is a mac version of the card before buying it. 6800 series PC vid cards aren't the easiest to convert.
