Graphics Card
English: Your NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 Graphics Card
Congratulations! Your new Power Mac G5 has the high-performance NVIDIA Quadro FX
4500 PCI Express graphics card installed. Your graphics card has 512 MB DDR3 video
memory, a stereo 3D port, and two dual-link DVI ports.
Stereo 3D port
DVI port 2
You can connect displays and stereo 3D equipment to your graphics card. Connect a
20-, 23-, or 30-inch Apple Cinema Display to DVI ports 1 and 2, and connect stereo 3D
equipment to the stereo 3D port.
To connect two Apple Cinema Displays to your graphics card, you may need a DVI to
DVI Adapter. If you don't have an adapter, go to the Displays Support website at
www.apple.com/support/displays for more information.
Installing Additional PCI Express Cards
Your graphics card occupies PCI Express slots 1 and 2 in your Power Mac G5. If you
install additional PCI Express cards, follow these guidelines:
 The total combined maximum video memory for all installed graphics cards
is 1 GB.
 For optimum ventilation, use slot 3 first and then slot 4. Install high-bandwidth
cards in slot 3.
