A Radeon HD 6870 is significantly more powerful than a Radeon X1950Pro or Apple X800XT AGP card.
But, again, the work needed to adopt the 11,2 PowerMac isn't that much. Fan speed and temp control primarily.
Either way,with KVM & QEMU, Power 9 will eventually be able to emulate PPC32, PPC64, and X64 ISAs, so discussion of continued PPC support is irrelevant.
Because its already a certainty.
Ok the Radeon 6000 Series is much fester but what do you gain? What Software/Game need this Power? It would only make sense if the driver for that card would offer opencl to do h264 encode and decode with the GPU.
It's like riding a dead horse. Wenn need to look forward and not to play with hardware that is from the last decade/century. For this we have Clasic Amiga and Pegasos and PowerMac. More then enough to play with.
Get yourself an PowerMac with AGP with 2.7 or 2.3 GHz like i did and wait for AMD64.
