Hi there,
this time it's a question about real Apple hardware: As my old G5 devices slowly are dying I'm looking for a possibility to buy some time for some older PPC software - several programs need to run natively because of graphics requirements or access to certain hardware.
On the other hand for daily use a current system is a must.
The only hardware so far capable of this is the Mac Pro 2009/2010 with the 5,1 firmware.
Now my problem: I need a graphics card which on one side is supporting Metal and on the other side has drivers for Snow Leopard. Does anyone know if and which graphics cards fall into this category?
Because as far as I know current systems won't even boot if only an older card is present (together with a current one) swapping gfx cards every time I want to switch the system is a no go...
Regards,
Torsten
