ATI Radeon 5770 in 2006 Mac Pro with Lion

Hit an issue with my 2006 Mac Pro when the video card died in late October. At that point I was running Lion and had kept on top of software updates. Being on a restricted budget, I have purchased and installed an ATI Radeon 5770 card from the Apple store as I cannot afford a new Mac Pro. I knew that before I did this there may be incompatability problems with this card and Lion on the older Mac Pros, and this seems to be the case.
However, having trawled through the forums it seems some users are able to run this card on 1.1 machines with Lion. So I am now wondering if I have another issue - I'd much rather stick with Lion if I can rather than revert to Snow Leopard. Now I have installed the card things seem fine with the display - the 30" cinema display no longer has blocks of pixels all over it. On boot up the screen is a pale grey, the Apple logo appears in the centre with the busy timer underneath. I also get a loading bar for about 20 seconds. This gets to about 20% then disappears. Everything sounds like the machine is booting normally but it just won't progress beyond this point. I have tried holding shift to boot it in safe mode but the same things happens.
If anyone can help point me in the right direction of what I should try next I'd be profoundly grateful!

I knew that before I did this there may be incompatibility problems with this card and Lion on the older Mac Pros,
Although some users have complained of problems, their wounds may be self-inflicted. Use of a non-Apple ATI 5770 or failure to upgrade to at least 10.6.5 are high on the list. The main "issue", if you can even call it that, is the card runs more slowly than its published benchmarks due to PCIe 1 slots in the Mac Pro 1,2 and 2,1.
I also get a loading bar for about 20 seconds. This gets to about 20% then disappears.
That progress bar is indicative of unresolved Hard Drive problems. You need to boot to an alternate source of software (Hold Command-R at startup for Recovery_HD if you are running later than 10.6.8) and check the SMART Status and then select Macintosh_HD or whatever you renamed it and ( Repair Disk ). Repeat until all problems are resolved or it gets stuck. If you need help, copy the EXACT error message back here.

ATI Radeon 2600 XT on Mac Pro 2008 has died

Hi All,
I have recently been having issues with one of my ATI Radeon 2600 XT Graphics cards - choppy graphics, artefacts appearing on the display and endless crashes of the OS.
I have read online about a recall program Apple did run which recalled these exact graphics cards, and after checking the serial number of the card in question, it does indeed match one of the 'bad' batch.
The only problem is - the program ended in July 2011
What are the chances Apple would be kind enough to still swap my card for a new unaffected one?
Thanks
Mac Pro (early 2008)
6GB Memory
2 x ATI Radeon 2600XT
2 x 23" Cinema HD Monitors

What are the chances Apple would be kind enough to still swap my card for a new unaffected one?
I'm in the same boat. :\ Mine just died too, would I need to take my tower to an Apple Store? Or how would I go about asking Apple to replace my graphics card?
Also, if I were to put in a different graphics card (say the ATI Radeon HD 5770), how difficult is it to replace? Would my Mac Pro (Early 2008) be able to handle it? I have 2x2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon (8-core) processor, the ATI Radeon HD 5770 says it requires Mac Pro (Mid 2010) with PCI Express 2.0 slot and OS X 10.6.4, whereas I'm still on just 10.5 Leopard and have an Early 2008 model...
On another thread, here, The Hatter, said something about baking the card in the oven? Would that work if Apple won't replace it for free?
I have never opened up my tower before (I don't know how!) and I have been wanting to upgrade my RAM as well. I have 4x1GB cards and I wanted to move up to like 8 or 16GB. I was thinking about buying RAM from NewEgg or Amazon, whichever is cheaper, any suggestions?
Thank you for any help and sorry about hijacking the thread! >~< Should I make my own thread or continue in this one? I'm sorry, I just don't want to cause any problems...I will make a new one if need be.

ATI Radeon HD5770 in a Mac Pro?

A couple of months ago I upgraded my Mac Pro (early 2008) with a new graphics card, the ATI Radeon HD5770 (Apple version). It's been working fine on my MP with FCS3 and my system in general.
A week or two ago I purchased the Master Collection CS5.5 and I'm starting to work with Premiere Pro. Searching the Adobe site I just found that my nearly new (made-for-Mac) ATI card is not supported by Premiere Pro. What does that mean when I use PrP, After Effects, or any of the other Adobe products?
There are only two Adobe approved video cards sold by Apple. Both are over $1000.
What kinds of catastrophes should I expect if I continue to use my OpenCL ATI Radeon HD 5770 card with PrP, AE, or any of the other MC programs?
Thank you in advance for your help.

I thought it might affect other parts of the suite. In any event, I'll take your advice and post there.
Thank you.

ATI Radeon 5770 Apple Upgrade Kit temperature

Hi dear friends!
I wonder if anyone can tell me what are the "normal" temperature ranges for an ATI Radeon 5770 Mac Graphic Card running on a Mac Pro 1,1 with one monitor only doing the day-to-day basic operations! Mine gets aroung 45-49 Celsius (113-120 Farenheit) degrees. Im pretty concern about this issue because I cannot find anyone with a normal chart of temperature ranges over internet.
Best Regards to all, @JRGN.

... its the internal temperature of the Mac Pro. But do you think its normal?...
Which internal temperature? For example, Temperature Gauge (App Store) is listing 24 different temperature measurement points ranging from 81ºF to 157ºF in a 2010 Mac Pro right now and none of them is the video card.
The graphics card has a series of heat sink tubes running from the card's fan to the back plane of the card; the fan blows air through the tubes to remove the heat generated by the card and vents it out the back. Those tubes tend to collect a lot of dust, blocking the tubes and messing up the card's cooling system. One solution is to carefully route the tube of a compressed air can between the card's fan blades and aim it toward the rear of the card. You may be surprised at the cloud of dust blown out the back. Since the tubes are arranged like organ pipes, if you move the tube's nozzle to face different tubes, you can clean out most of the tubes in the heat sink.

ATI Radeon 5770 w 2008 MacPro 3,1

I recently had my GeForce 8800 go bad on me. And after some research I plunked for the ATI Radeon 5770 (bought from here on the Apple Store).
I have a Dell 24" 2804WP LCD monitor, and am using the DVI port.
Before my 8800 went belly-up, I had ZERO problems with my monitor.
But now, since I've installed the ATI 5770, the monitor often "blacks out", and gives me this error message:
When I log-in via ScreenSharing (from my MacBook) and I see that there are not displays detected:
In fact, I get this same "non-display" configuration even when the monitor is "working."
Is this a driver thing? How do I go about troubleshooting this?
Any ideas?

The message you are seeing on screen is generated by the display, not by the Mac.
The Mac does not use custom Drivers for any display. Instead, it uses a highly-parameterized Driver that is customized by the reported capabilities of the Display.
The display must report both its NAME and its Capabilities when the Mac asks for them, usually at power-on.
A common problem with displays that have multiple inputs, is that at the moment the Mac asks for this information, the display is not paying attention to the correct port, and misses the query. The Mac does not get a response, so the display stays blank. You can use the (Detect Displays) button to get the Mac to ask again, but this may require an additional display.
I do not believe converting from Mini DisplayPort will improve anything. Direct DVI should be superior. Since your display is only 1920 wide, Dual-Link is not needed.

Alittle help with dual-setup with ati radeon 5770

Hello everyone, I have been trying to setup a dual display with 2 flat panel monitors.
1. A WestingHouse Digital Electronics "17"
2. A Goldstar Company Ltd "23" (Main Display)
Im currently running the gnome desktop, what im trying to setup, is have both the gnome desktop show up on both monitors. For example if I wanted to move something from my main monitor to the smaller one to the left of me, I want to NOT be able to do that, and only have the mouse be able to move accross the 2. 2 Seperate desktops one 2 seperate screens. Im not quite sure what its called, Im thinking maybe its a clone Desktop? Anways, The graphics card Im using is an
Ati Radeon 5770, has 2 vga ports. I currently have the "video-ati" driver installed and works well with my main screen, but im unable to get my secondary screen (to the left of me) working. I tried going into System>>Preferences>>Monitors, and tried tinkering with the display, and tried enabling the 2 monitors and moving them from left to right, to see if that would possibly let it show up or start to function, but only the main screen works. I generated a new xorg.conf, since I didnt have one prior to installing Arch, I was following these to guides
http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/X.Org/Dual_Monitors
http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/X.Org/Dual_Monitors/ATI
both are very nice, but Im still not quite understanding yet. Defiantly am trying. I edited my xorg.conf a few times, but got the same results each time, just the screen going blank and X crashing. I have here a copy of my xorg.conf, Xorg.conf.log, and xrandr output

Thank you guys!

An xorg.conf may not be necessary, but I still find it nice to have the control that the file provides.
In looking over yours, I see several things that could be causing your problems.
First off, I notice that you have Screen0 that is using Card0 and Monitor0. This part looks ok.
When I look at Screen1, I notice that you are using ATI Graphics Adapter1 and Monitor1. I don't see entries for either of those, although you have an ATI Graphics Atapter2, but there is no entry for your second monitor.
I also notice that you are trying to use both radeon and fglrx as drivers. As far as I know (and I don't have an ATI video card at the moment), you can use one driver or the other, but not both.
After you have these things fixed, then you can put in the Screen section in your server layout to describe the positioning of your second monitor.
All in all, the issues that you have to fix are minor, but frusterating if you are too close to the situation.
Good luck.

Question about Parallels and ATI Radeon 5770

Ok, so I have a Mac Pro 3,1 here. I'm upgrading it to 16GB and two 7200 RPM 3TB drives which I'll run in Raid 0.
It has an ATI 2600HD with 256MB VRAM. This card has two DVI ports.
I just purchased an ATI Radeon 5770. I will use it with two Cinema Displays (DVI connections).
To connect the second display, I have the Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter at Firmware 1.03.
My question concerns Parallels 8.
My Windows 7 VM will be a heavy-use VM so I want snappy performance. I was planning to dedicate 8GB RAM, half my CPU cores to it, and 512MB VRAM on the 5770.
What I was wondering about was the possibility of leaving in the 2600 HD and using its GPU to support my Parallels VM. Is that feasible? Practical?
Thanks

Dump the 2600XT (put it on the shelf, don't use it)
Install Windows natively first, then you can use it both ways, natively and dual boot, plus in a VM when that works.
Another option is 10.8.2 supports more Nvidia cards and more then the 1GB.
Don't use green 3TB in an array.

This discussion is very helpful to me, but I still have questions. I have a similar configuration:

I want to upgrade my graphics card so my kids can play a game I bought them via Steam. Their website tells me I need "NVIDIA GeForce 8 or higher, or ATI X1600 or higher." Does the ATI Radeon 5770 fit in that range? If not, is there another card compatible with my MacPro that does? Thanks...

Mac Pro 2008 and ATI Radeon HD 5770

According to many other threads in this forum the ATI Radeon HD 5770 graphics card is said to work fine with the Mac Pro 2008 (model no. 3,1) though the Apple Store lists the Mac Pro (Mid 2010) under system requirements. Well, before I’m going to upgrade my Mac against Apple’s will, I’m just curious to know if anyone has found out why Apple restricts the compatibility to Macs from mid 2010 on. Is there an issue that affects only a small number of machines? Or is there a software incompatibility popping up under rare circumstances? What is the reason for this? Why does Apple not grant downward compatibility?

Apple does marketing and doesn't do a bang-up job on writiing technical requirements on hardware upgrades and testing. It doesn't make sense, there is no reason for not just "works with 10.6.5 or later on ALL Mac Pro models."
something nice and clear and so avoids all the questions and discussion.
Radeon HD 5870 versus 5770
2008 has PCIe 2.0 so no lose of bandwidth.
And I guess you ignored the numerous comment section on the product page? where people said it works.

ATI Radeon 5770 in Mac Pro

I have a Mac Pro 3,1 (the 2008 model), which works with the ATI Radeon 5770 GPU. I want to upgrade from my 2600 because it's noisy and not as fast as I want it to be. It seems like there are two versions of the 5770: Mac and non-Mac. What's the difference? Can I put a regular 5770 in my Mac or only the "Mac version"?

Graphics cards that are PC-BIOS only do not show a picture under MacOS X, which uses EFI firmware.
PC-cards that have been flashed to EFI firmware do not show a picture until the login screen.
Genuine Mac cards show a picture from power-on, and this makes debugging and booting from another drive much simpler.

Should I purchase ATI Radeon 5770 vs. ATI Radeon 5870?

I'm using CS5 to do focus stacking (2-3GB files) doing a lot of free transform/opacity changing to match layers underneath and also moderate video editing in Final Cut.
I want to upgrade my graphics card (currently have the NVIDIA GeForce GT 120) and was wanting some input as to the ATI Radeon 5770 or the ATI Radeon 5870? Is the 5870 overkill for these applications? Will I see much improvement in smooth anchor point movement? Running dual monitors out of the DVI and mini display port (s).
Thanks

Outside your budget? Quadro 4000 could potentially do more if CS5 Mercury Engine plug-in is being used or off load and use CUDA.
Trouble is you can't (easily) have 5870 and Quadro 4000.
$449 seems an awful lot for 5870 today, (PC 5870s are now less than Apple 5770). PC Quadro 4000 go for $750 instead of $1195.
One reason why - (there are threads here, too)

Problems after upgrade bios to v4.3 - P67A-GD65

Hi to everybody,
I was having a problems after upgrade bios to v4.3 of my mainboard P67A-GD65.
After upgraded bios version (FW) its interface was changed and seemed better. also some specifiactions upgraded that i am now able to follow information of bios in my windows. with Control Center.
1) first of all after bios upgrade XMP memory section can only be enable şf ş choose OC geniue on. but with this my cpu warm till 98C degree. because i have only stock cpu cooler of intel.
in normal mode xmp can not be activated so that my memory that corsair vengeance dd3 1600mhz works at 1333mhz only.
Also there was information about what is new in this version of bios fw as:
- Enhanced PCI-E display card performance.
- Improved memory compatibility.
2) second problem that i have i wanted to turn cpu leds which were located above cpu slot blue leds. once i turn them off and it is ok. but when shutdown computer and restart it turn on itself.
so may be there have benn occured a problem that mb can not save edited settings correctly?
3) For last i could not find Winki 3 OS/linuz anywhere is there a link to it to integrate to my mb?
Thanks for your replies from now on.
Greetings.

I think you had better to flash back to beta 4.39 bios, here : https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=164135.msg1214789#msg1214789
And use and install on USB key MSI Forum HQ USB flashing tool from here : https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=108079.msg800577#msg800577
Flash using method 1.
And tell us if that works.
thank you for reply that fast i will try asap and tell here.
Btw, have you ever face a problem as i wrote above?

Hi thanks for responding.
I downloaded the 30 day trial version and it will not let me open FCP X. Everytime I attempt to open the trial version I get a message that says,
"This system does not meet the minimum system requirements for graphics cards. For more information on minimum system requirements, visit the Tech Specs page on the Final Cut Pro website."
When I look at the specs for FCP X, I don't see the ATI Radeon 2600 as a graphics card that can be used by FCP X. That's why I'm looking to upgrade, at least my graphics card for starters.

Problems after upgrade: Leopard to Leopard no longer works

My sister upgraded to Leopard on her iMac(c2d) to Leopard yesterday. Earlier in the day we were able to do video chats with a number of people(her machine Tiger to Fathers machine Leopard). However, since upgrading, we've experienced weird behavior for video chats. Basically in her window she won't see her image(the small one), and I don't see her at all. We've tested this out with a number of other iChat accounts and get the same results. Btw, all machines that are chatting with her are using Leopard. Also, all other forms/capabilities work: screen sharing, sharing of pictures, audio chats.
Anyone out there have similar problems after upgrading from Tiger to Leopard? I have done the usual adjustments of bandwidth and QT settings, as well as restarts. What else should I try?
tia,
n

I finally resolved this problem: I think the issues/steps would be helpful for anyone who experiences iSight off or not working problems after upgrading to Leopard(then to 10.5.1) on a intel 20" iMac :
Problem:
-If you have an internal iSight on an iMac and your camera works fine in Tiger
-If you upgrade to Leopard
-If Chat camera doesn't show your image (iSight off) even though the green light is on
-You can see the other persons video on iChat
-Your friends can here you and you can share screens, files, etc.....everything but have them see you
These are the initial steps I took:
- Deleted the pLists(or stored preferences for the Application) described at the top of this thread
- Was told it might be slow internet connection so did various things: disconnected other computers, changed wireless to "G" only
- Specifically Opened of ports spec'd for Leopard on router (even though I hadn't needed to do this under Tiger)
- Tried chats with various people on various fast/slow networks
- Restarted all aspects of the network: router, wireless access point, computer
- Checked to see if the iSight was shown in 'System Profiler'. It was found in 'About This Mac->More Info->System Profiler->USB'
- Clicked Video icon in iChat Buddies window(to the right of your name) and coudn't see my image
- Opened 'PhotoBooth' and coudn't see my image(black screen)
- Opened iMovie and couldn't capture video via the iSight(black screen)
- Opened iChat->Preferences->Video and couldn't see my image
- Validated that 'Camera is Enabled' in iChat->Video->Camera is Enabled
If you are experiencing a similar problem with you built-in iSight, I would probably focus on the last 5 things that I did. What they showed me was that the iSight was just not capturing video even though it was capturing sound in 3 different applications.
The solution to iSight Off or iSight Not Responding or No Video is......reset your computer! I had thought my sister performed this but it turns out she hadn't. Here's the link to this procedure:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303446
Very easy to do though: Power off computer and unplug all cables, including power cable for at least 15 seconds. Plug everything back in and power up the computer and retry clicking on the 'Video' icon next to your login name. If you see yourself then...problem is solved.
While I eventually found posts in several other forums, it took me the better part of a week. To try this simple step. I wish I had done so straight away. Oy. I guess I learned a lot about ports, speed etc.
I hope this helps.
