Need 30" Display Graphics Card Advice

Hello! For the 30" display, any advice on the graphics card need for a G4? Here is the CPU info from the "More Info" button ...
Machine Model: Power Mac 3,5
CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (2.1)
Thanks in advance!
eMac   Mac OS X (10.4.2)  

You need a video card that will support the 30" display.
This one is, AFAIK the least expensive card that will work with the QS and the 30...

  • Will I need a new graphics card?

    Final Cut Studio 2 required specifications:
    "An AGP or PCI Express Quartz Extreme graphics card (Final Cut Studio is not compatible with integrated Intel graphics processors)
    A display with 1024-by-768 resolution or higher"
    I just bought an iMac with these graphics specs:

    Do I need a different graphics card to run final cut?

    No need to worry. You'll be fine with the GPU in your iMac. I've been using a G5 iMac (w/ a second display) since August 2005, and I've had no problems.

  • Need some graphics card advice for using 3D and Adobe

    Below are the specs for the workstation I just bought. I'm planning on upgrading the graphics card to a GeForce GTX 570 (Fermi) 1280MB. The chassis is pretty small, and I'm concerned that it might get too hot. Does anyone have any advice as to whether this machine can handle this card, and whether or not I should by extra fans, or a water cooling system for the card? Thanks in advance!

    Here are the major failings of that "workstation":
    1) The power supply is much too weak to handle an upgrade to a GTX 570. Heck, that PSU might not have been capable of actually handling even its claimed 350W - but more like 200W. As such, it's barely capable of handling even that "workstation"'s base configuration with integrated Intel HD 2000 graphics. You will definitely need a new power supply (at least 550W, but preferably 750W to 850W) right away before you can even upgrade the graphics card at all.
    2) That PC has only one hard disk. Adobe requires a minimum of at least one additional hard disk (preferably two or more additional disks) in order to run Premiere Pro acceptably well.
    3) Change out the H67 motherboard for a Z68 motherboard. H67 cannot overclock the "limited-overclockable" i7-2600 CPU at all. And even with a Z68 motherboard, the fastest that you can run that non-K i7-2600 would be 3.9GHz.
    4) As you stated, that small case will not be enough. You will need a much bigger case to handle the load from Premiere Pro plus all of the hardware upgrades that I'm suggesting.
    Also, keep in mind that the company only offers "lifetime" technical support if you don't tinker with the PC's innards at all - not even a minor hardware upgrade or only for a vendor-approved hardware upgrade such as RAM. Once you open that case for a non-vendor-approved hardware upgrade (e.g. an upgraded power supply, an upgraded GPU or upgraded cooling), you will no longer have technical support from that company that you're getting the PC from.
    As currently equipped, that system will run about 25 to 30 times slower than a fast PC. Look at payal's 622-second result running 5.0.3 on the PPBM5 results list, with the same CPU, chipset and integrated graphics as your system: It is already more than 12 times slower (in terms of the Relative Performance Index) than a fast system - and that system is already running two disks. With only one disk for absolutely everything - the OS, media, projects, previews, cache and exports - it would be much slower than even that because SATA is only a half-duplex interface, not a full-duplex interface. As a half-duplex interface, SATA can only deliver data transfers in one direction at a time. However, video editing programs like PPro require simultaneous reads and writes. This means that the single disk must wait for data transfers in a given direction to be completed before any data starts transferring in the opposite direction.

  • Need graphics card advice.

    I purchased a new laptop from BB about 6 months ago, a Toshiba Satellite P875. I need a graphics card with at least 128mb of dedicated memory and think I only have a chip with 32mb of dedicated memory. I was wondering if anyone knows what would be good, keeping in mind that cost is an issue. 
    Thanks.

    That link lists all the expansion packs, and if they will, will not, or might work with various graphics cards(the list is fairly extensive).
    My guess is that your CPU picked up the slack for your lacking GPU in the base game, but the later expansion packs seem to weed out all but the higher end cards.
    Unfortunately, you don't have a gaming computer, so the best you can do is see just how far down you can turn the graphics settings/resolutino.

  • Need graphics card advice pls

    getting ready to buy quad and i now have 1.8 dual w/geoforce 6600 ddl running 2 30in displays - i see that i can order a 7800gt but i need 2 and dosent give me the option to get a 2nd - or should i just gohead and get the quadro fx - i am going to be doing alot of video editing and also using alot of motion and live type along with digital photography work using apeture or lightroom later - what is the best way to go about this

    The 7800 is a better buy than the Quadro. The NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 graphics card occupies the 16-lane PCI Express slot and adjacent PCI Express slot. The PowerMac G5 only supports a maximum of one NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 or GeForce 7800 GT card per system. If you want a second video card Apple recommends the NVIDIA GeForce 6600.

  • Need help w/graphic card purchase

    I'm using a Asus Essentio PC. When I bought this at BB I told the salesperson that one of the MAIN things I needed the computer to do was play Sims2. When I doubted the ability of the integrated graphics to handle this he told me it would be NO problem.  Well, it's a problem. I'm not super computer literate and looked to the salesperson to be knowledgeable and that was a fail. So now I need to buy a graphics card & power supply (?).  I don't trust that I'll get the help I need, since I didn't when I was making the original purchase.  So, what I have to work with is:  Asus Essentio  Model CM5571 Processor: Pentium Dual Core CPU [email protected], OS is Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, Memory: 6144 MB RAM, Intel G45/G43 Express Chipset, Intel 4 series Express Chipset Family. I hope I provided the correct info.  What I can afford is about $200.  Is there anything I can do?

  • Need recommendations: New graphics card for HPE-400y

    Hi!  I'm in need of a new graphics card, but I don't know which one is best for my computer.  My computer is a Hewlett Packard  HPE-400y.   Click here for specs!
    My computers has all the original parts except the PSU and HDD. I recently changed the PSU to a Corsair CX430.  The current hard drive is a WD Caviar Black 2TB. 
    I use my computer for Guild Wars 2, Maya (models and animation), Zbrush, Corel Painter, and Photoshop.
    My current graphics card (Radeon HD 5450) has issues playing Guild Wars 2. The FPS is 30 or lower if I try to play the game with medium or high settings. The FPS also drops when I'm playing the group PVP event known as World Vs World. I often have to have the graphics on the lowest setting in order to get 30 -45 FPS.
    You can find the Guild Wars 2 requirements here: GW2 official wiki -- requirements info

    Hi,
    You should be able to get a double wide card in your PC.  Length may be a problem due to all of the cables. If the space below the optical drive is open then you might try to stuffing the extra cable lengths into that location.
    BTW-- very nice photos.  Not many will go through the effort to do so.
    Consider trying one of the below graphics.  
    MSI NVIDIA GTX N750 TI and the MSI GTX N750 TF  Both of these graphics cards are significantly faster then your existing 5450.
    Know what the return policy is before your buy.
    You have an excellent Corsair power supply. I would prefer that you had a 500 watt PSU so that the higher performing graphics cards could be tried.  This NVIDIA GTX 660 specifies at 450 watt minimum but the 12v amperage from your Corsair CX430 is more than sufficient.  It might be worth giving it a go.  It's about 50% faster than the above two graphics cards.  I typically don't recommend that graphics cards be used with PSUs below the graphics card manufacturer's minimum requirements but the Corsair CX430 should work.

  • Multi-screen with a  powerbook G4 ? need an external graphic card or ...?

    hi
    im on powerbook G4 of 2003.
    want to have either a very large display screen(28 or even 30 fts)or maybe two or three external screens ...dunno yet , depends of your answers ...
    is a 1920x1200 resolution like the 28 fts viewsonic screen will overload my internal graphic card ? if not ? can i try an 30 fts even if i will not use the native 2500x ... resolution of course ..
    if yes ,any of you guys know an external graphic card , powerfull enough to support 2 external screens ? any recommandations ?
    ty all for your help

    Assuming your PB is the original 2003-vintage with a 1.0G video processor and 64MB of video memory, the Apple spec sheet shows this:
    ===========
    Video and graphics support
    • --NVIDIA GeForce4 440 Go graphics processor
    with AGP 4X support and 64MB of DDR SDRAM
    video memory for 2D/3D graphics acceleration
    • --Dual display and video mirroring: Simultaneously
    supports up to 1440 by 900 pixels on the built-in
    display and up to 2048 by 1536 pixels on an
    external display, both at millions of colors5
    • --DVI output port
    ===========
    Yours may have an ATI video chipset; run System Profiler from your Utilities folder to find your exact video processor details.
    Beyond that, you may need to contact ViewSonic to see if there are any "gotchas" that would prevent one of their monitors from working on a 1G machine.
    This Cardbus adaptor:

    Gives you another display port with 32MB VRAM.

  • Satellite 5100-503 - I need a new graphic card

    My Satellite 5100-503 shows garbled image during startup particularly when the computer is warm.
    The sound also breaks.
    It was diagnosed as a display card problem. The card has nVidia GeForce4 440 Go chip.
    What is the equivalent card available in the market or any reliable source?

    Hi Santos
    Thanks for posting this your personal opinion but I have to say that you are simply not right
    The Toshiba ASP (authorized service partner) will help you always if you have some hardware problems.
    But they will not provide you any disassemble manuals because such manual are not for public usage!
    And this is not only Toshiba rules but you will find such rule in every company!
    If you need an solution the guys will help you and should be abel to replace the faulty part...
    Furthermore your Satellite 5100 is an older notebook and the nVidia GeForce4 440Go graphic card is not weakness.
    Every notebook parts can start to malfunction after a long time of usage! This is nothing unusual but simply "real world".
    So dont speak about weakness because its simply not right and the nVidia GeForce4 440 Go supports the same quality standard like other different graphic chips
    Anyway, if you want to solve this issue then the motherboard (contains the graphic card) must be replaced.

  • Now I need a new Graphics card for CS4

    Hi -
    So I took the plunge and upgraded to CS4 - then discovered to my annoyance that Matrox aren't bothering ('corporate decision') to write drivers for their AVPE card to support WYSIWYG with CS4. Great, so a £200 card is now on the ebay pile and my 10 year (expensive) relationship with Matrox is over.
    Now I'm faced with a problem, I've always had Matrox graphics cards in all my edit machines, the WYSIWYG plugins make things easy and they do work well- or did.
    Please can anyone advise me if there's a card out there which will give me the ability to run two monitors as a desktop, and have a feature monitor showing my edit.(all VGA connected) With Production Premium CS4 I'd like 1GB of memory as I'm planning on editing some footage from a RED camera (or trying to) - with the Nvidia or ATI cards - is there software that allows you to set up which monotor does what - and does this plug in to Premiere After Effects Photoshop etc?
    I have 2 PCIE slots, and don't mind I suppose having two graphics cards in the machine, will this work, if I insert a for example Nvidia GTX 260 alongside the AVPE will that work, letting the Matrox handle the desktop and the Nvidia the Feature monitor, or would I be better having two GTX 260's ??
    I have asked the boffins at PNY if they think this'll work and they say - maybe, though the card will only support certain codecs.....really? they're getting back to me on what those might be.
    My system is
    Supermicro X7DWA N 16 gb ram
    XP pro SP2
    PSU 600watt
    monitors are Benq - analogue all VGA
    Adobe Production Premium CS4 with Cineform 4K
    This is an area that is quite hard to research - none of the manufacturers websites answer the questions that come up and so I have to keep calling up tech support in various different countries, then wait while they go and find out.
    I'm hopeful that someone out there has an answer - thanks for reading - any help appreciated
    Billy

    Hello Harm
    Thanks for the reply, I was hoping you would, and also hoping that wouldn't be your reply.
    I don't want to tie up my camera and have it on full time, just to get less quality than I was getting on the computer monitor as a feature monitor I was getting last week. The quality is really good, and I find it much easier to see for drawing masks etc and for colouring and grading - I guess die to having loads more pixels.
    I can't accept that there isn't another solution and so I'm looking for one, even if I have to buy two GTX260's, I'd rather spend the £175 twice (or the extra £175) than have the camera in and out of it's box every time I want to edit and then the cables everywhere, I went tapeless to get away from that and sold a couple of cameras that I could have used.
    I'd like to find out if having one nvidia 260 and my lovely obsolete matrox card will work, or if two 260s will give me the result I need, and so in the absence of any person who can tell me, I'll just have to give it a try, annoyingly, my mobo isn't SLI capabole, so I'll be wasting some of the potential of doing this, but may get the system to work again.
    Can't express here how annoyed I am with Matrox, if they produced a card tomorrow which could shoot edit and composite award winning material which would keep clients happy from now to eternity for $1 - I wouldn't buy it.
    I'll post the results as I go along.
    My alternative is to go and buy a 6 foot monitor to use as a desktop.
    Can't believe I'm the only person to have fallen foul of Matrox's failure to provide service.

  • A dual 2 GHz M9032LL/A G5 needs a new graphics card

    I have a ATI Radeon 9600 Pro card (ROM revision 113-A13601- 126) in there now, but the card is failing. There's a temperature sensitive element and I need to put a blow dryer on the graphics card to wake it up. After it's up it runs fine, but dealing with it is a pain.
    I can't find new Radeon 9600 pro cards. Is there a replacement?
    Regards,
    Ty Ford

    Ty,
    Your G5 uses an 8x AGP slot and OWC has ATI Radeon 9600 and X800 cards available.
    But, you might also consider checking eBay for flashed PC AGP cards.
    And if you are interested in flashed PC cards, check out The Mac Elite forum and Wiki.

  • Do I need the discrete graphics card?

    I'm buying a 15" macbook pro in the next couple of weeks.  I do lots of work on Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop.  Do I need to get the top model with the discrete graphics card or is it not worth the money?

    No, it's certainly not geared for gaming! If you do a lot of Photoshop work with 3D renderings, actions, etc., a discrete GPU can be great - particularly one with 2GB of Video RAM. If I were in the market for a new machine, I would certainly purchase the unit that has the discrete GPU.

  • HP Pavillion p6120f needs a new graphics card

    Will Asus Low Profile NVIDIA GeForce 210 1GB GDDR2 PCI Express 2.0 Graphics Card Model: EN210 SILENT/DI/1GD2(LP) 
     work without requiring a new power supply? Running Windows Vista but may upgrade to Win 7.   Thx!

    Hi:
    Looking at the reviews for the card at the link below, no one seems to have provided wattages for the PC power supplies they installed the cards in.  That is usually helpful.  However many subjectively state low power requirements.
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=14-121-422&SortField=0&SummaryType=0&Pagesize=10&Pur...
    Below is the link to the nvidia specs...they recommend a minimum of a 300 W P/S.
    http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-210/specifications
    I will give you my opinion.  Unless you plan to tax the card often and heavily by throwing whatever games you can at it, I think it will work just fine in your 250W P/C.  The max output of the card is only 30W.
    Use this handy tool to calculate the power supply requirements you will need for that card.
    I bet it comes in at less than 300W.

  • E31 Graphics Card Advice

    Hello:
    I have been shopping around for a few months for a replacement for my Thinkpad T60p.
    I was convinced I would by a w520 but then I started considering desktops.
    I’m semi-retired and don’t really need a laptop as much as I did when working full time.
    Besides, my T60p works just fine for work related stuff and travel. I also have an x200t.
    I have found 2 pre-configured E31s at a reseller that are the same except for the graphics card.
    Model 2555-47U has a Quadro 600 card and Model 2555-48U has a Quadro 2000 card. Both have the Xeon E3-1230V2 CPU.
    The price difference is $300.
    My usage will be for ripping CDs, A to D conversion (LPs to digital), raw photo processing (Canon’s free software; no Adobe), and maybe some video editing—files from a Canon DSLR.
    Will the Q2000 benefit me in any way over the Q600 for these tasks?
    Don’t mind spending the extra $300 if it gains me something.
    I also looked at an M92p tower (Model 2992-A5U) with the i7-3770 CPU and Radeon 7450 graphics card.
    It is about the same price as the E31 w/Q600, but has the HD4000 integrated graphics along with the Radeon 7450.
    Would this be a better choice?
    I have the perception that the E31 is "better" than the M92p because it is a certified workstation.
    One bonus of the M92p is the 3-year on-site warranty, but that’s not as important as the CPU/graphics to me.
    If it matters, I connect to an NEC LCD2190UXi (1600 x 1200) monitor and plan to purchase an NEC P241W (1900 x 1200). I use SpectraView calibration software.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks
