GeForce 4 Ti

ahri:
I bought a new Power Mac with the GeForce 4 Ti card. Does anyone know if the card will work in a PC or is the one i have Mac only?

psyjax:
Mac only.

GeForce and ATI cards usually have a ROM chip specific to the platform they are intended to run on. There are ways of hacking this mesure, but I don't know how and it suerly requires much technical ability.

KernelPanic:
Like psyjax said you would have to re-flash the cards bios. I have seen some info online about doing this to put a PC card in a mac but not the other way around.

But anyway, If it goes wrong you are *really* screwed so I wouldnt advise it anyway. If you dont mind potentially losing your Geforce then by all means try it, but i wouldnt do it.

It's worth a lot more as a Mac Ge Force card than as a PC one, so don't devalue it by flashing the ROM.
Sell is as it is and buy a real PC version if you need one.
