27" iMac ATI HD 5750 Starcraft 2

just wondering if any new imac owners also have starcraft 2 and can tell me if you can pull off ultra graphics settings at full resolution without any problems. i am looking at getting the i7, but if you have the i5 feel free to chime in too. thanks.

Well Apple finally had some returns so I took the leap and bought one. The first thing I installed was Starcraft 2. When I fired up the game the first thing I did was max out the resolution as well as everything to ultra. I have had no problems with bad framerate, slowdowns, etc. It runs great. Even when I spam all of my carriers and collosi under the cloak of the mothership. Not sure if the graphics update a while ago fixed everything or what but it runs perfect for me. 27" iMac, Intel Core i7 2.93 Ghz, 4 GB ddr3 1333. So for those of you considering buying it I would definitely say do it.

  • Display wont wake-up on Windows 8.1 iMac (ATI HD 5750)

    I've just installed windows 8.1 and now I'm having a strange problem: When the display goes into standby I cannot wake it back up, the machine is still awake as I can RDP in..
    It appears windows is replacing my good display driver with one that it thinks 'is better' but is infact screwing up my system.. If I roll-back the driver everything works fine until it re-installs the driver for me.
    Has anyone else experience this problem or found a fix?
    Thanks guys

    After a bit of messing around its been stable for a while now.. These are the driver details I settled on:
    Driver Provider: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
    Driver Date: 27/09/2012
    Driver Version: 9.2.0.0
    Its been working flawlessly and CUDA is fully supported

  • 27" iMac, ATI 5750, Bootcamp3.2 and the occasional black screen with XP SP3

    Wanted to share my experience with the subject setup and potentially save somebody a lot of time and frustration. My installation would occasionally work. Sometimes it would boot into a black screen and sometimes it would work perfectly. I tried a lot things:
    1. Deleting the bootcamp partition and clean install.
    2. Renaming AppleHFS.sys, etc to *.old.
    3. Downloading and installing some mobility graphic drivers from downloadatoz.com.
    4. Downloading and installing the desktop graphic drivers from amd.
    5. Using 7zip to unzip the bootcamp3.2.exe file and manually extracting and installing the graphic drivers.
    6. Following the directions from Apple support article TS3173.
    Everytime I thought it was fixed, the black screen would appear again. One of the comments I read on the forums really struck a chord with me. "XP is getting long in the tooth." So, I ditched my XP SP3 disc and bought an OEM, 64-bit disc of Win7 Professional. So far, this has worked perfectly with absolutely NO black screens (even during installation) on my 27" iMac with the ATI 5750 graphics card.

    So, a little update on the situation...
    I tried repairing the WinXP installation from the install CD and it did not solve the problem.
    Right now I'm trying to completely reinstall Windows XP (SP2 this time) and the Apple drivers to see where the problems start to appear (at WinXP SP2 install, at the SP3 install, at BootCamp 2.1 install,...)
    Also, something quite important I forgot to mention in my first post is that the problem appeared after cloning the BootCamp partition from another Mac (iMac 20" Alum) using Mike Bombich's NetRestore tool.
    If you have any suggestions, I would really appreciate it!
    thanks

  • Photoshop CS4 and iMac(ATI 4850) Open GL problem?

    Hi: My problem is; when I click full screen mode with menu bar options(Shortcut is F) my workshop background grey area has a colorfull noise and lines(Randomly). My machine and graphic card compatible with Open GL. Anyone know why did happen like that? Buy the way I did all updates. My guess this problem happened after Mac OSX(10.5.7) updates. How can I fix this?
    Ps: My machine 2009 iMac 2.93 Ghz with ATI 4850....
    Like that;
    http://i42.tinypic.com/s2yv5y.png

    yeah, short term test deems keeping both cards in.
    So, here are the results: Notes: I have 2 monitors, an Apple 30" and Apple 23". The 30" can only be used in the dual link dvi port and NOT the Mini Display port. Second: The ATI 4870 seems to have an issue with the Mini Display port, it does not work, alone or in tandem with the dual link dvi port being used. Apple is replacing the card (heretofore, I had no cause to use the Mini Display port on the 4870 at all) Third: Only Photoshop CS4 extended was used to see if the card was detected and if it had enabled Open GL
    ATI 4870 - dual link used, Mini Display NOT used: Photoshop sees the card and enables Open GL
    ATI 4870 - dual link used, MIni Display used: didn't test because Mini Display port did not work.
    ATI 4870 - dual link NOT used, Mini Display used: didn't test because Mini Display port did not work
    Nvidia GT120 - dual link used, Mini Display NOT used: Photoshop sees the card and enables Open GL
    Nvidia GT120 - dual link used, Mini Display used: Photoshop does not see the card and thus Open GL is NOT enabled.
    Nvidia GT120 - dual link NOT used, Mini Display used: Photoshop does see the card and Open GL is enabled

  • Aperture 3, Snow Leopard, iMac ATI Radeon X1600 and graphics issues

    I have been searching the web to see if 10.6.4 has finally solved the graphics issues with the white iMac 2.16 intel with the ATI Radeon X1600 graphics processors and seen some mixed reviews. What is the consensus here, has 10.6.4 finally solved the graphics issues when editing photos in Aperture 3 (not to mention problems with iPhoto and iChat also). I had to downgrade to Leopard before so I don't want to upgrade to SL again and go back down the downgrade path. Thanks in advance for the feedback

    I can say that 10.6.4 has worked out the kinks for my white 24" iMac with 7300GT card. From what others have posted here, it appears the x1600 issues have been resolved as well. I was running 10.6.2 prior to this update and advising everyone else of same. Of course, 10.6.2 and SL was not perfect, with some issues cropping up here and there. IMHO the 10.6.4 release is equivalent to the 10.5.3 release by comparison. In fact, I upgraded my Mac mini after my good experiences with 10.6.4 on my iMac. Not sure if this helps or not.

  • Premiere CS4 horrible stutter (ATI Radeon 5750 as problem?)

    Hello! I've just come across a very frustrating problem. When I try to edit videos with Premiere CS4, the preview speed is horribly laggy. It doesn't matter what I edit, HD or SD, it is just stuttering so that any work is merely impossible.
    The funny thing is, that I have been able to edit even very heavy HD-projects without problems in past with same system. I had 3-4 months pause from video editing, and something has happened in that time. I remember updating ATI drivers in that period so it might be the cause. Or not. Nothing major has changed, I've installed some regular OS updates and thats it. No hardware changes or anything like that.
    I have read about compatibility issues with Radeon 5750 and Premiere CS4 in Windows 7 (64bit). So I thought this would be proper area to start looking into. I would like to see if there is something new where to look at before I have to format my whole drive and install everything again. Which is pain because I have no other problems with my system.
    I've already tried ATI rollbacks, various driver versions and system restore. Nothing has helped. I also tried same drivers which I knew for sure that were installed and worked last time I succesfully edited something. No use. I've yet not tried installing Premiere again, and I would not happily do it because very buggy licensing system (I have licensed retail version) which can kill the whole CS product family. I rather format the whole OS drive.
    Is there any first hand knowledge on this, or any suggestions?

  • The iMacs ATI radeon x1600

    Greetings,
    How does this graphics card fare for gaming? I understand it's not upgradable unless you get the 24 inch, so how long do you folks figure it would be good for until its obsolete for the new programs?
    I figure I would probably have to get the 256mb for gaming, this isn't possible in the 17 inch,correct?
    Thanks alot

    I'm not a "bleeding edge" gamer, but I have played Hitman: Blood Money, Half Life 2, GTA: San Andreas, Call of Duty 2, Doom 3 and a few other games without any problems at all. The X1600 is by no means a top of the line card, but it'll be good for awhile yet; you'll just have to turn off more of the bells and whistles of newer games as time goes on.
    I figure I would probably have to get the 256mb for

    Yes, you need to get the 20 inch model in order to upgrade to 256 MB of VRAM.

  • Liquify and ATI Drivers on an iMac.

    Hello,
    This is driving me insane, so i would appreciate any help at all.
    There is a SERIOUS problem with PS CS6 and ATI HD 5750.
    Liquify tool does not work...
    Here are the details:
    iMac i7
    16 GB RAM
    Graphics  ATI Radeon HD 5750 1024 MB
    Software  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53)
    What happens is that the moment i enter Liquify's UI the mouse stops moving!!!!
    I only have mouse movement to the left and to the right (to choose or tweak brush sizes etc.)
    but when the mouse is over the image, the crosshairs are frozen, no movement at all!!!
    If i try to liquify something on the image it does not work.
    The only way to make Liquify work, is to disable "Use Graphics Processor" in PS preferences.
    So, this is clearly a driver issue, the thing is that ATI driver updates (for HD5750 ON iMacs) come directly from Apple and there is no available download on Amd's site, so i actually can't upgrade drivers myself....
    I should also mention the following:
    I have both Production Premium 5.5 and 6 installed on the same machine
    I had PS CS6 beta installed, but i removed it (using the uninstaller - The Adobe way) prior to the Production premium CS6 installation.
    The Liquify tool had the exact same problem in PS CS6 Beta (I was running 10.7.3 at that time), but i didn't mention anything, i thought it was just a bug with the Beta version.
    It's also worth mentioning that the Liquify tool in PS CS 5.5 works just fine. (probably because it doesn't use GPU accel.)
    Othen than that, i am really dissapointed and frustrated with the whole CS6 experience so far...
    I couldn't even install PP CS6 at first, and i was forced to reboot the iMac in safe mode to complete the installation.
    I would really appreciate any help, i'm stuck.
    Thank you.

    On the one hand, Apple users benefit from Apple taking on the responsibility of integrating everything together so there's minimum fuss.  On the other hand, sometimes you have to wait for solutions that work, where a PC user has more options...  I had trouble with Liquify using the latest ATI drivers (on my PC), so I just uninstalled them and installed a version they released 2 months ago that works…
    Noel,
    One can do similar stuff on the Mac too, provided you really, really know what you're doing.  What's more, not only can you use .kext files from previous OS versions, but you can even hack them or roll your own.  One notable case was the set of applefan.kext files provided by an outfit called macgeniuses to cool down the Power Mac MDD G4 for purposes of running a mutant, flashed graphics card they sold for it.  One has to be superextra careful though, or you'll turn the machine into an extremely noisy air filter or you can literally fry the cpu and gpu in no time. 

  • How can I update ati radeon hd 5750 1024 mb on my mac os lion 10.7.5

    How can I update my grafic card Ati Radeon 5750 1024 mb ? I recently updated my Aerofly 5 sim software , which now does not work because ,so I am told , the grafic card has to be updated ! Thanks for any help .

    You cannot change the graphics card, and Mac OS X 10.7.5 has the latest drivers available for your system. The system requirements for Aerofly state that they only support the 5770 of the 57xx series, not the 5750, so there may be nothing you can do, though you can ask in their forums and see if anyone there can offer a workaround.

  • Lion Random crash with 2009 iMac 27

    Hi
    Am I the only one to have some randoms crashs with Lion on an iMac 27 late 2009 (i7 + ATI Radeon HD 4850 512 MB, 16 GB Ram) ?
    I noticed that some iMac 2011 were affected but haven't found anything about the iMacs late 2009.
    I can crash very easily my iMac while playing with Starcraft II, just to give an example. This iMac used to be very very stable with Snow Leopard, the only reboots were to apply the security fixes or power outages.
    Any idea ?
    I hope this is going to be fixed with 10.7.2 !!
    Thanks
    Johan

    Can't offer help, but I've daily BSODs with the same model - same GPU, only difference that I've only 8 Gigs of RAM.
    Mainly happens with anything video or picture related, so mostly while using safari or other browser. All the time before "up"-grading to Lion I never had one single crash...

  • Configuration iMac pour CS6 et CC

    Bonjour,
    Nous avons acheté une CS6 Production Premium le 6 janvier 2014 et nous venons de nous appercevoir que la carte graphique de notre iMac (ATI RADEON HD 5750) n'est pas pris en compte par Premiere Pro et After Effect...!!! Nous avons voulu voir si la version Cloud gérait notre carte...et là non plus !
    Que faut il comprendre? Qu'il faut se racheter un Mac pour utiliser les produits vidéo Adobe? Que les propriétaire de Mac qui ont 3 ans ne peuvent pas utiliser les produits vidéo Adobe?
    Nous avons acheté la licence le 6 janvier 2014 et nos activités ont fait que nous ne découvrons le problème d'incompatibilité que maintenent. Est il possible, soit d'avoir une suite CS5 par exemple qui pourra fonctionner ou avoir tout simplement le remboursement de notre CS6 Production Premium (nous savons que le délai est d'1 mois à compté de la date d'achat pour un remboursement, mais nous venons seulement de constater ce problème).
    Merci de l'interêt que vous porterez à notre requette.

    Adobe does not sell older versions of their products, so you would need to chance buying an older version from some third party resource.  No one here will recommend such a resource.
    As far as getting a refund for your purchase in early January, that is something you would need to get resolved with Adobe directly.  You could have just used a trial version and discovered your issues instead of purchasing so I cannot say that it looks promising that you are going to get a refund at this stage, but it is worth trying.
    You need to contact Adobe Support either by chat or via phone.
    Here is a link to a page with options to help make contact:
