Has anyone had the opportunity to try this out? I know that the card in my G4 has the DFP connector, so I would assume that it would work...

I was reading on the SGI site that only the formac driver can do the 1600x1024, but wait the Apple Cinema Display can do this resolution as well...

Also anyone know the performance of the Formac ProFormance 3 card compared to the ATI Rage Pro 128?

Any input is appreciated!

From what Formac has let me know, the Digital connection on the SGI display is different from the Apple Cinema connection. Their card supports the SGI, but not the Apple Cinema.

As for performance, I have no idea. You may be able to find something out at http://www.xlr8yourmac.com regarding others' experience with their card.

The new 3dfx Voodoo 5500 will support it as well!
