Hello,

I've acquired a Mac G5 with PCIE lanes. I would like to hold on to OSX 10.4 due to Classic support. However when porting DarkPlaces engine, I've noticed that this could a lot of effort for the GeForce 6600 the Mac came with. I've read some articles online where apparently GeForce 7800 GTX is the last supported for OSX Tiger, but I can't find the drivers. Ideally I'd like to step down to 7600 GT in order to maintain fanless operations.

What GPUs were supported on OSX Tiger?
Where can I find the drivers for them?

Especially the drivers - I can't find CUDA 1.x drivers online anymore which would be some indication of support for at least GeForce 8000 series. nVidia offers CUDA 2.x drivers, but they only support OSX 10.5 :/ Does anyone have any clues? Any help please?
