    Graphics card to use with iMac 27" target display?

    Are you sure this works? I'm talking specifically about outputting over Displayport to a 27" iMac in Target Display Mode. Edit: I should add, I'm running Windows 7 on the PC.

    I went ahead and pulled the trigger on the UD5. Newegg had a $20 rebate that expired at midnight PDT last night. I noticed it at 11:15 :D

    There's 23 models and you can only compare 10 at a time. I may try that when I get home on my big screen. Here's a summary of their codes according to their website for Socket 1155 / Z68 motherboards. There's really only three groups of codes to be concerned with. Group 1: GA-Z68xx (Gigabyte...
