The ATI Radeon PCI is a 7″ PCI video card that works in a standard 33 MHz PCI slot or Apple’s accelerated 66 MHz PCI slot. It supports ATI’s Video Immersion Technology, so it can be used to view DVDs. Except for its PCI bus, this is essentially the same video card as the ATI Radeon Mac Edition AGP introduced with the Digital Audio Power Mac G4 in January 2001.

Mac Os Radeon Vii

At the time, it was “literally the only high-end PCI gaming card on the market for Mac OS users….” (Inside Mac Games)

The card is compatible with the Performa 6400, Power Mac 6500, and other PCI Power Macs. There is a conflict between its drivers and the ATI RAGE Pro drivers supplied with the Beige Power Mac G3, Blue and White Power Mac G3, Yikes! Power Mac G4, Sawtooth Power Mac G4, Mystic Power Mac G4, and some Digital Audio Power Mac G4s that shipped with RAGE video; the RAGE drivers must be disabled to use the Radeon Mac Edition in this machine.

Minimum Requirements: Mac OS X. Power Macintosh computer with AGP & supported ATI graphics card with 128MB or more VRAM; Mac OS X 10.4.3 or newer; 512MB of System Memory (RAM) The SMARTSHADER demos require OpenGL functionality. Recommended System Example: Power Macintosh G5 Dual 2.0GHz; RADEON X800XT Mac Edition; 17' or larger Monitor or LCD Panel. Start up your Mac in Windows. Take any of these steps to open Radeon settings: Right-click your desktop and choose AMD Radeon Settings. Or click Radeon Settings in the notification area. Or choose AMD Radeon Settings from the Programs menu. In Radeon settings, click the System Tab, then click the Software tab. Now requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later (up from 10.3.0) - New tab showing information about cards: amount of memory, memory type, and bus width - Support for the iBook G4's Mobility Radeon 9550 - Support for the latest PowerBook G4's Mobility Radeon 9700 - Fixed the G5's non-Pro 9600 memory frequency detection - Fixed support for a Rage 128 Pro.

It will run in the 66 MHz double-speed PCI slot found in the Blue and White G3 and the Yikes! G4. It is also fully compatible with standard 33 MHz PCI slots.

ATI Note: “Radeon Mac Edition PCI version may be incompatible with some legacy system/monitor configurations. On the Power Mac 8600 and 9600, the VGA port is inaccessible. On the Power Mac 7200 and 7500, a nut must be removed from the card before it will fit.”

If you are using this video card with the Classic Mac OS, be sure to check ATI Drivers for Mac OS Classic. If you are using Mac OS X 10.3.6 or later, be sure to install the ATI Radeon Updater (Jan. 2005).
