Please Help with Graphics Card "Bait & Switch"

I ordered a laptop for using as a field monitor and DVR with OnLocation (DV Rack) with the Quadro FX 2500M graphics card. At the last moment the builder says the Quadro is not available (or he can't afford it) and can only offer the NVidia 7950GTX or dual 7950 GTX SLI. Can anyone please help me decide whether or not to accept either one of these alternatives?
Need to make quick decision to accept or cancel so any help much appreciated.

Workstation cards are not really any help to the NLE user. Neither is SLI. I'd say you'll be fine with a single 7950, if you trust the guy enough to buy from him.

  • Please help with graphic card

    hey guy i have a problem picking a graphics card that is compatible with my computer i have a pavilion a6030n specs are
    Chipset
    GeForce 6150SE nForce 430
    Motherboard
    Manufacturer: ECS
    Motherboard Name: MCP61PM-HM
    HP/Compaq motherboard name: Nettle-GL8E
    my psu is only a 300 watt i only want a card to make my desktop like a home theater hd/bluray movies no gaming i want it to support 1080p full hd and have a hdmi output. is there any card like this that i can just install with out upgrading my psu please help thanks

    Please help.  I am confused.  I have the same specs as the original poster and am also looking to upgrade my system, but i'm confused.  The video card you recommended appears to be 512MB, however, HP's specs for the motherboard state:
    Integrated graphics using nVidia GeForce 6150SE
    Up to 256MB (with 512MB or more system memory)
    Also supports PCI Express x16 graphics cards*
    So, if it says it supports up to 256MB, should i limit my search for a new video card to only ones that have 256MB, or will a 512MB one, like the one you recommened, also work?
    Thanks.

  • Please help with another card problem

    this one is a strange one(if you saw the other one you might understand this better) in any case, i am getting a error and i do not see the reason
    here is the code
      public Card getCard(int i)
        switch(i)
          case 1: return (Card) card1;
          case 2: return (Card) card2;
          case 3: return (Card) card3;
          case 4: return (Card) card4;
          case 5: return (Card) card5;
      }the compiler says that there is no return statement. i don not see the problem as there are five of them and all seem to be accessable.
    please tell me if i am not seeing something or have it all wrong.
    btw card1,card2,etc. are Card variables so that is not the problem. this method is supposed to return one of five cards according to the int that is passed to it.
    please help me!

    public Card getCard(int i)
    switch(i)
    case 1: return (Card) card1;
    case 2: return (Card) card2;
    case 3: return (Card) card3;
    case 4: return (Card) card4;
    case 5: return (Card) card5;
    }No, no, no. It's really very simple. Imagine this:
    Card c = getCard(42);
    c.someMethod();What is the value of 'c' after calling getCard()? And what happens when c.someMethod() is called?
    You see, the getCard() method does not have a return statement in all cases. A method that returns a value either must be absolutely guaranteed to execute a return statement in all cases, unless an exception in thrown.
    So the simplest thing you can do (or an array of cards might be in order here) is just add a default: case that throws an exception.
       public Card getCard(int i)
         switch(i)
           case 1: return (Card) card1;
           case 2: return (Card) card2;
           case 3: return (Card) card3;
           case 4: return (Card) card4;
           case 5: return (Card) card5;
           default: throw new IllegalArgumentException("Invalid card number " + i);
    Or, if you expect that in normal operation you'll be passing in values other than 1-5, instead of throwing an exception you could return null. But it sounds to me like in your case, it is a bug if a value other that 1-5 is ever passed in.

  • Please help with credit card hold question

    I just recently made my own apple id and i would like to know if apps i download will show up, by name, on the credit card hold. I want to download a free app without my parents knowing. My email is associated with the id. Please help.

    No answer, what nothing at all? Surely they confirmed that you have the correct number or if it was not, they offered to supply you with a replacement card, with new security code.
    And if you have confirmed with your credit card company that the number you are using is correct, but iTunes doesn't recognise it, I'd say that was down to the credit card company and iTunes to sort it out, not you.
    It's immaterial that you were purchsing free app, you still need a valid credit card.

  • Need help with graphics card Hp Pavillion a6530.sc will a 9800GTX or 9800GT work?

    Will there be enough room for a new grapihcs card to replace the old one since it's fan has broken and I could use a new Graphics card. I know that the 9500GS is quite small but will there be enough place for a 9800GT/9800GTX if there isn't could you give me the name of a graphics card manufactured by Nvidia that is as powerful as a 9800GT/GTX, and fits in to the pc. Any help will be appreciated!

    Well, you are starting out from a fairly low baseline with the integrated graphics. It will not cost much to have a substantial increase if all you want to do is run WoW without error messages. Yes, the 300w power supply is an issue and rules out any card that will require its own power (i.e. needs its own power cord like a hard drive) but there are several mid-grade cards that can run off bus power alone (i.e. just from the pci-e slot itself). Just taking a quick look at newegg.com I see the following:
    GeForce 9400 under $50
    Radeon HD 4650 under $50
    GeForce 9500GT a little over $50
    Any of these should get you where you want to be and not require a PS upgrade. The slot you have available is a PCI Express x16 slot so don't look at AGP cards; they will not work. If you want to install the card you mention you need to get a better PSU.

  • Need Help with graphics card

    Today I was told to buy the graphics card GeForce 9800GT for my compaq SR5000. Whin in turn I needed a bigger power supply.  Long story short I am having a problem when I install the video card my computer makes this really loud squeal. Nothing I do is right but I know that it is installed the right way.  Do I have the wrong graphics card. Please anyone can you help me.

    Unfortuately, Compaq does not post the Power Supply rating on their website for your unit, but when you open the case, their should be a sticker on the power supply which lists the maximum Wattage for the unit.  An Nvidia 9800 GT requires at least a 400 Watt Power Supply, so if it is anything less than that, you will have problems.
    Other suggestions;
    The card should be inserted in the PCI Express slot.  Be sure it is fully seated in the slot.  If necessary, start the computer and enter the system BIOS settings.  You may need to disable the onboard video chipset before the system will "see" your new video card.
    As for the noise, make sure you haven't nudged any cables so that they are hitting system case or processor cooling fans.
    Good luck!

  • Need help with graphics card options for an early 2008 mac pro

    Hello,
       I have an early 2008 mac pro with 2 x 3.2 GHz quad core Intel Xeon and 6Gigs of ram, currently running with an Nvidia Geforce 8800 GT with 512mb.
        It is also running 10.7.2.
       I would like to either add a video card on top of the one I am currently running or replace it completely if necessary.
       I do video editing on the Mac, no gaming and only a small amount of photoshop, and as the resolutions get larger I would like to have my machine keep up.
       My questions are,
         1. What cards would you the community suggest?
         2. Can I add a whole other card to my system or do I have to replace the current one?
         3. If I can hold two cards what special accomidations would be needed in regards to final cut performance if any?
        Thank you for any help you would like to give.
      Rob

    The two main cards for mac pros are the apple versions of the  ATI Radeon 5770 and 5870.
    The 5770 requires one aux power adaptor and the 5870 requires two.  So generally you could only have one 5780 or two 5770's.
    Video cards which don't require aux power should be able to coexist with these cards so log as it's all within the power supply maximums of course.

  • Help with Graphics card purchase

    I'm planning on buying a new graphics card for my creaky old Mac (G4 400 MHz PowerPC, CRT display, running Tiger). Mainly because I do a lot of 3D modelling/rendering work and I think it would improve the experience I have with the apps that I use daily. Apart from not being up to spec for modern games graphics my Mac works pretty darn well (probably because I have a shed-load of RAM), so I'm not planning on getting a new Mac any time soon. I just want to cheaply soup-up this one.
    I'm looking at getting either the 'ATI Radeon 9600 Pro - Mac', or possibly the cheaper 'ATI Radeon 9200 Mac Edition'.
    After looking online I have seen that users of both have reported some problems. The 9600 has been reported not to work with some displays and the 9200 has been reported to make DVD act really badly.
    So my questions are roughly:
    Have these issues been resolved? Have you experienced any problems upgrading your old Mac with these cards? Would these cards make a marked difference to my 3D modelling/rendering apps? What graphics card would you recommend?
    Thanks in advance.

    Does your Mac use a AGP (Advanced Graphics Processor) slot?
    Based on the 400MHz you mentioned, is is probably a "Gigabit Ethernet" model, which has a 2X AGP slot.
    If not, your only option is the ATI Radeon 9200 128 MB PCI Mac Edition card. I hadn't heard about any DVD playback problems with this card. ATI says it will not work with OS 9 in G4 "Digital Audio" and "Gigabit Ethernet" models.
    If you do have AGP you definitely want to use it. The ATI Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Edition 256MB AGP works with 2X or 4X AGP models. This card will give the best performance.
    The ATI Radeon 9600 Mac & PC Edition 256MB is for 4X or 8X AGP slots. Even if you do have a 4X AGP slot, this card may not work in your system because of its power consumption. ATI says it is not compatible with "Digital Audio" and "Quicksilver" models. That leaves the MDD (Mirrored Drive Door) as the only G4 model with 4X AGP that it will work in reliably.

  • Again please help upgrading graphic card

    Help help, I am getting confused now, and probalby te question has been asked a million times but....If I want to ugrade from the standard 6600,(G5 Quad Core) to go for A Quadro FX 4500, do I need a special Apple one? Would a PC card not fit? Excuse me if this sounds stupid, but I just stepped into the mac world. some explaining might help.

    Yes you need an special Apple one for the firmware. The problem is neither Apple nor Nvidia are selling one! Go figure. So unless you ordered the card when you bought your Quad you are SOL. If you just bought your Mac, return it and order a build to order Quad with the 4500 card already installed. Why Apple is not selling the cards as an after market accessory is beyond belief.

  • Help with graphic card problem..

    I want to upgrade the video card on my hp pavilion dv6 1330 and i dunno which one to buy or what fits.. any suggestions on what might fit or where i could get this info.?

    I think it's not possible for u to upgrade u'r graphics chip unless u change the motherboard which u can't change, unless from the parts that are available for u'r laptop
    just when u see the part u'll see that there are graphics chip numbers which are not the chip, but the technology behind them, u'll have to search it to find the chips made with them, to see if that's what u have or not.

    I am afraid there is no solution.
    PowerPC refers to the processing chip used by Apple before they transferred to Intel chips. They are very different, and applications written only for PPC Macs cannot work on a Mac running Lion.
    You could contact the developers to see if they have an updated version in the pipeline.
