Comments about ATI Radeon HD 3870 PCI Express 2.0 Display Card:
This card replaced my old Ati Card that went faulty in my Mac pro runs seamlessly with mac os x quiet and faster than the X 1900.
One drawback is the empty hole from the 3 slots that the x 1900 took It would be helpful to have a shroud shipped with the card.

We've had this installed for a couple of weeks now and it seems to be working like a charm. We're using it in addition to the original card in order to run 2 cinema displays and outputting to a Barco switcher.
