I own a G5 1.6 GIG single processor powermac with 1.25 gigs of ram and the nVidia 5200 64 meg video card. I have attached as my main monitor a 17" LCD display.
When I run iTunes with the Apple visualiser plugin and let it perform at full screen mode I get no more than 30 frames playback. At work we have a DUAL G4 1.25 MDD with the ATI 9000 64 meg video and iTunes gets between 70 - 90 frames playback when using the Apple visualiser plugin at full screen mode.
Any one know what is up with the G5 performing less than half as well as the DAUL G4 1.25??
I thought it might be the LCD screen, so I attached ONLY a CRT 17" to my G5 1.6 and it had exactly the same results. 30 frames of playback.
What are other ehmac members getting for performance with their various different macs with iTunes and the visual plugin out there in ehmaclandia? Am I the only G5 owner experiencing this low of a result?
Thought my G5 would rock out in this kind of task.
