5770  +dual display + mac pro 1,1 = broken

I recently installed a 5770 in my mac pro 1,1 , using dual 22" displays, one through DVI, one through mini display port and it works fine with 10.6.4 + SL graphics update. I then installed 10.6.5 (also have tried 10.6.6) and i lose the monitor plugged into the mini display port. All the hardware is fine cause it still finds it in bootcamp and if i boot off an external with 10.6.4 + SL graphics. 10.6.6 still detects the second display, it shows up in system profiler and shows in the display top icon, but the screen wont come off standby.... HELP ME!!!!!!

I have an extra ATI X1900 XT that I've kept for my Mac Pro 1,1 - just in case my existing card ever failed, but it hasn't, and probably won't. Plus I've got a Mac Pro 3,1 that until last week I had never taken it out of the box.
I despise the mini display port, and I feel your pain.
The ATI X1900 XT has been a great card for my Mac Pro, but instead of me keeping it in a box in case of an emergency, I'd rather see it get used by someone else who needs it. Actually listed it for sale last week on ebay. Shocked there were no bidders. Reasonably priced of course.
Before I listed it for sale on ebay, I recorded a screen capture video and posted it on youtube as a example demonstration of it working on my computer.

    I have a dual core mac pro tower , can  I upgrade to lion from snow leopard?

    The 2006 and 2007 Mac Pros can be upgraded as far as Lion. Mountain Lion can be installed on Mac Pros from 2008 onward. See below:
    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor

  • Installed Memory not showing up in a late 2009 Dual Core Mac Pro

    I have a late 2009 Dual Core Mac Pro.
    I restarted the my computer today, an a utility popped up saying something about I need to re-arrange the memory in my mac because it was not optimized.
    I thought this was weird because all the slots are filled with 2 gigs chips for a total of 16 gigs.
    When I checked about this Mac it said I only had 12 gigs of memory in my system.
    I went to open up the case, and there are to red light glowing for slots 7 and 8 on the motherboard, and any memory chips I put in those slots do not show up.
    Can anyone tell me what is going on and how to fix it.
    There was a power outage the other day, but I keep my machine on a surge protector.
    I generally try to take really good care of my computers so seeing something wrong out of the blue like this is a little freaky for me.
    Any help would be great.
    Thanks
    Stan

    Each "side" is operated independently, so slots 1, 2, 3 and 4 are one set, and 5, 6, 7, and 8 are an independent set. The third and fourth slots on each side share a memory channel, so a failure of one module in these two slots could possibly disable the other one.
    The Mac Pro uses the Error Correction Code hardware built into its Xeon processor to provide single-bit (in a word) Error Detection and Correction in Hardware. It also can detect double-bit errors, but these cause a kernel panic, machine-check, error overflow or uncorrected error. This is by design, to avoid poisoning you data.
    The Error Correction Code hardware is used in a special way at Startup. Any failure (correctable or not) that occurs in the first few seconds while running the Power-On Self Test causes your Mac to declare the slot(s) of those modules "empty" and simply not use them in the running system. Vigilance is required, because the next time you run this test, those Bad modules may pass.
    So the movie version is that you have some DIMM(s) that have failed, and you should remove them from your Mac and consider whether to replace them with good modules, or to add some larger modules.
    I expect your recent power failure, protected by a UPS, is merely a coincidence, not a cause-and-effect.

  • Can dual socket Mac Pro 3,1 (2008) use two X5470?

    1. Can dual socket Mac Pro 3,1 (2008) use two X5470?
    2. And can dual socket Mac Pro 4,1 (2009) use two X5675?

    All I can tell you is that the 2009 Nehalem might be somewhat upgradeable, but the Mac Pro 3,1 I believe, has an X53XX socket. The 2009 might have used either Westmere, Harpertown or Cloverdale/gainestown(???)  processors. See this URL for more info.

    also, see this
    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/turnkey/MacPro/2010_Xeon_Processor.
    Please note that this applies only to the 4,1 (2009) Mac Pro, not the 2008 one.  My advice to you, sir, is to find an independent mac Tech who would better be able to tell you if that's possible. If I were a betting man, I'd say "no" to question 1, and "probably not, but I might be wrong" to question 2

  • Dual graphics cards and single 4K display - Mac Pro (late 2013)

    I'm considering a new Mac Pro as my next graphics/development workstation. I see that the new Mac Pros have dual graphics cards (i.e. dual D300, D500, D700.) I was wondering if there is any benefit to having the second graphics card if I only have only one 4K display connected via Display Port 1.2? Would the two cards work in tandem to output to the single 4k display? Can the second GPU still be used for OpenCL, even if it is not connected to a display?
    Thanks

    There is no option to have only one Dxxx, and yes some apps do and no the number of displays does not affect video output.
    Whether it is right for you vs say a maxed out iMac or something else is something you should continue to research and consider.

  • ATI Radeon 5770 for 2008 Mac Pro

    I just bought this card for my 2008 mac pro. According to the Apple store's Q&A, this card should work fine with my computer. I am curious if this is just a simple swap, or if I need to attach any additional power cable to the mother board.
    Also, is it possible to use this card and the ATI Radeon HD2600 simultaneously on my computer? I have a USB card and a black magic HDMI in/out card I use for video already installed. Just want to make sure I won't pull too much power and overheat.
    Thanks!

    I had basically the same problem with trying to run the Mac 5770 with a Mac/PC 3870 in my 2008 Octo 3.1 MP. I was hoping I could use the component output on the 3870 (using the 9 pin ATI adapter that has component, s-video and composite outputs) for my Sony CRT Pro monitor and using the DVI to run a large screen TV for Netflicks, etc, or another smaller digital monitor. Plus, I was keeping my fingers crossed that Apple's "Color" application wouldn't see the 3850 if I had the AV switcher turning the connections off when not in use while editing in FCP Studio (Color will usually not launch if it "sees" two graphics cards connected to monitors).
    Apparently the 5770 firmware has a conflict with other ATI cards: 2600, 3850 and maybe even 4870. I thought they would have a better chance of working together being ATI, but apparently not. Another user posted that he was able to get a NVIDIA GT 120 working fine with the ATI 5770 after having the same issues with the ATI 2600, but whether Color will launch is another question. I suppose I can try some older cheaper NVIDIA's maybe even some with analog outputs that the 3870 had if I could find one? Any suggestions or success stories in running a second card with the 5770?
    Finally, I removed the 3870 to see how the 5770 would work by itself: the screen start-up time went from several minutes to seconds. Both monitors are very snappy and working fine with one 23" CD in the DVI port and the other23" CD using the mini-display port adapter (just the single $29 one, not dual DVI $99 type).
    I don't play games or do much 3D, so I hope it was worth the upgrade price, as the 3870 had a passive cooler, was rock solid in every aspect and ran Core apps fast, but it didn't have OpenCL, so I'm hoping to see some improvement across the board in my graphics, especially the Adobe CS5 Suite.

  • Anyone using the Ati Graphics Card 5770 with a Mac Pro 2.93Ghz (2009)

    I would like to upgrade my stock Geforce Gt 120 cards in my Mac Pro 2.93Ghz 8 core (early 2009) to the Ati 5770 card which will be connected to 2 Apple 27inch Retina Displays.
    I am aware that Apple states that the 5770 card is not compatible with the 2009 model but I have also read that Barefeats say this is not true and will work on the 2009 machines.
    Having read numerous reports from people having problems when using the 5770 in there 2009 models such a faster fan speeds and excessive noise I really don't know what to do?....
    Can anyone chime in with their experience and recommendations on the 5770 and also what Mac Pro model and OS version was used?.
    I have looked at the Ati 5870 but it is a bit more than my current budget and my graphics power needs.
    Many Thanks
    Noodlez.

    Very few problems. Some try to do something w/ the wrong dual link active adapters or to use HDMI or something else. I know of very few let alone "numerous" reports. But 10's of thousands of Mac Pro 1,1 and above love it and are fine and happy - and you need 10.6.5 (10.6.8 of course has a much improved driver whereas 10.6.4-1/2 was OEM and basic shoddy and not on the retail 10.6.3 DVD).
    ML use to be trouble on a 2008 3,1 too. At this day and age unless you have PowerPC apps plugins or drivers and hardware 10.8.3 is the way to go. And 10.8.3 opens up more graphic card choices too. Nvidia GTX series or AMD 79xx and EVGA has Mac Edition as does AMD have 7950.
    Barefeasts.com has test results
    I think you want to double check but "RETINA" is a MacBook Pro only and might be thinking of Thunderbolt, which will not connect to a Mac Pro. There still is a non-Thunderbolt 27" which is.

  • How many ATI 5770 cards can Mac Pro hold?

    I just bought a Mac Pro 6-core with two 5770 graphics cards and running two 30 inch monitors. Is there enough space left to install one more 5770 card so I can run three 30 displays...or is two the max it will hold because of the the size/thickness of the cards?
    Message was edited by: cameraguy

    There are only enough auxiliary power connectors for two 5770 cards, however you only need one to run three 30" displays. With two cards, you can use six displays.
    Each card has one dual-link DVI port and two Mini DisplayPorts. To connct a 30" to a Mini DisplayPort you need a Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter.

  • 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!
    Vinny

    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.

  • Radeon 5770 in 2008 Mac Pro, won't boot - hangs at Apple logo screen??

    Okay, so I had the Radeon 2600 XT and it kept giving me issues with pink & white checkerboards and freezing, then eventually wouldn't let me boot past the white/grey apple logo loading screen. Now, today I installed Apple Radeon 5770, just installed, got the MiniDisplay to DVI-D adapter and everything, but it STILL won't let me get past the white/grey apple screen! I can't seem to get the DVD drive to open either. Both of my hard drives have been working fine and I've even swapped slots and i still can't get past the white screen! What gives? I just dropped over $300 for this, so you can imagine my dismay and frustration. Can someone please help me with some ideas? Would be GREATLY appreciated.
    It's a 2008 Mac Pro dual 2.8Ghz (3,1), running 10.5.8
    M

    Yeah, ok thanks for the response about the screen! So, I don't have 10.6.5. I'm running 10.5.8, which the Radeon 5770 says it needs 10.6.5, but -finally- I got my computer to boot up with the 5770 in it, on 10.5. Al I did was hold OPTION+ Power button and it took me to a blue screen, then to my 500 GB new HD. I then switched over to my other username on Macintosh HD (drive that came with the MacPro) and OSX loads fine! I can tell that it still needs to be on 10.6.5, so I can download the drivers because the text is ever so slightly fuzzy, and the color isn't tuned well (too much contrast) and images take a little longer to load/ are a bit laggy. I'm just glad it's up and running! No more pink transparent checkerboards, and loud *** fan sounds! I am wondering though, what was causing this hold up? Is it only booting up because I have the 10.5.2 install disc in the SuperDrive? I almost don't want to take it out and try without it, after the trouble i've had, just in case lol.  I'd like to have an idea as to why, because I don't want to mask a problem, and have it eventually turn into a catastrophe.

  • Trouble dual-booting Mac Pro after moving - Boot Camp

    Here's the story: My wife and I just moved a few miles away, and I transported my "late 2005" Mac Pro carefully on the front seat, on its side. Upon arrival, I am having great difficulty booting up.
    Generally, I dual boot into either Snow Leopard or Windows XP. Here's what has been happening since the move:
    I boot holding down the Option key. At this point, I have mouse movement, but no activity on the screen for about 5 minutes. When my hard drive options finally appear on the screen, (mouse movement is still normal at this point), or I can Left/Right Arrow between the two operating systems... no problem. However, as soon as I either click on the desired icon, or hit the Enter key, the mouse freezes on the screen and stays that way for perhaps 10 minutes or so before Mac OS starts up. Then operation seems normal.
    But when I try booting into Windows XP, it spontaneously reboots into the Boot Camp screen... again very, very slowwwwly.
    Has this ever happened to you? Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot/resolve this problem?
    Thanks in advance for your time and experience.
    Eddie

    Begin with this:
    Mac Pro came out in Aug 2006, so the fact you run Windows, you have later than any Late 2005 (which referred to PowerMac and G5s)
    Normally I would travel with the hard drives in boxes, removed.
    XP and also Windows 32-bit any version only offers 1.9GB usable RAM.
    Depends on where XP is, on the same drive as OS X? or on its own?
    Try check the drive is seated tightly.
    Run chkdsk
    Boot XP CD
    Clone Mac OS? so you have an image if needed.
    Same goes for XP.
    And if you set XP as the default boot OS?

  • Thunderbolt Display & Mac Pro

    Can I connect a Thunderbolt Display To the MacPro?

    The ThunderBolt display requires a Mac that was made with a ThunderBolt port.
    The Mac Pro 65lb tower is not currently a member of that club.
    It will not work, and there is no known way to make it work.

  • Dual Boot Mac Pro 10.6 + Linux

    I have snow leopard + centos 5 dual-boot setup on a new Mac Pro. There is one problem --- when a user logs onto the mac side, they are prompted to initialize, or ignore the ext3 partitions. This is because snow leopard can't read the ext3 partition. If the user clicks initialize, it will attempt to destroy the linux partition.
    I tried adding the partition UUID to /etc/fstab with the noauto flag but that does not work probably because 10.6 can't see the UUID.
    diskutil info /dev/diskXsY does not output any UUID for the linux partitions so I can't specify the partitions in fstab.
    I also tried specifying /dev/disk[X]sY noauto but [X] changes after each reboot. It 'fixes' the problem for approximately 50% of the time.
    Any suggestions? Thanks for any input. 

    My son the debian geek insists that rEFIt is the only way to get this to work on one drive. It is not an accident it has "EFI" in the middle of its name.
    I understand it keeps up the GUID illusion Mac OS X wants and also maintains the old-fashioned  partition tables unix wants to see.

  • Jump from 2.8 Dual Xeon Mac Pro to new 2.4GHz Macbook Pro with LED Cinema?

    So about a month ago I decided to upgrade an older Macbook Pro to my dream computer... I bought the Octo 2.8GHz Xeon Mac Pro, added 1.6TB of drive space, 10GB of RAM, the Nvidia 8800 GT, and a 23" Apple Cinema Display.
    I LOVE the machine. That said...
    Stopped over at Apple the other day and saw the new Macbook Pro connected to the 24" LED Cinema Display. GORGEOUS. Love it. Long story short, I am considering moving back to the Macbook Pro and new ACD to go with it.
    So my question is this : What kind of performance drop am I going to take if I do this? Are people really using these new MBPs as full desktop replacements? Has anyone jumped from Mac Pro to new MBP and been 100% happy?
    I have found with my Mac Pro that I am NEVER stressing the machine, ever. No matter what size file I am working with, no matter what game I am playing, the thing is always fast and smooth. But while playing with the MBP (it was 2.4GHz) and new LED ACD at the Apple Store I noticed that things like Photoshop and Illustrator launched every bit as fast as on my Mac Pro - even Aperture was speedy and extremely usable! I think the dock magnification seemed a touch jerky when compared to my Mac Pro - but maybe not... can't find any real stats on it.
    I normally work in Aperture and Photoshop/Illustrator, have iTunes running, iCal, Pages and Numbers, Keynote, Mail, and do just a touch of video compression every now and then (format conversion). I realize these tasks don't pose any challenges to the Mac Pro - but what about the newer MBP?
    I would be ordering the MBP with 2.4GHz, upgrading the RAM to 4GB, and the HDD to a 320GB 7200RPM Seagate.
    My main motivation is to be able to continue to work on the Cinema Display that I have grown to LOVE, while also becoming a bit mobile again! It IS nice to sit on the couch sometimes and web browse. It wouldn't be worth it to me to gain mobility and lose all the power though, so...
    How about it? Given what I do, is the 2.4GHz MBP a suitable replacement for the Mac Pro that I have?

    Thanks for reading through the small book I wrote there and adding some info to it - greatly appreciated.
    I have found on the Mac Pro I am simply astounded by the way games look at 1920x1200 on 'Very High' settings! But... I also have pretty much stopped playing them. Working on the Mac Pro all day, it would be very nice to sit back on the couch if I want to play a game. Granted the PS3 I have just can't compete with the Mac Pro in quality, but it's decent enough for the small bit of games I play and the Blu Ray drive is nice too for movies. So, I'd say I'm ok losing the gaming part of the Mac Pro as the PS3 is sufficient enough and more convenient so I can actually sit back and relax.
    I think you're absolutely correct on the rendering. When I work with video, I usually am converting 2-8 minute Quicktime Movies in to Flash Video format using QT Pro. The Mac Pro SCREAMS through this in 1-2 minutes, my older Macbook Pro was about 5-7 mins for the same file.
    Looking back, my MBP wasn't as old as I thought (I had an iMac in between there I don't care to remember) : it was a 2.4GHz Penryn with 200GB 5400 HDD, and 2GB RAM with 256MB VRAM. So basically, the new MBP and the "old" MBP I had are very close to each other... biggest differences are the new 1066mhz front side bus and Nvidia GPU - other than that, these are identical machines!
    I was never very happy working on the MBP full time - but I now know that was due to the screen size. Working on the Cinema is great and selling my current Mac Pro and Cinema and getting the new MBP and Cinema will allow me to work and be mobile, as well as put $1000 back in my pocket.
    Might be nuts, but man I'd love to see some comparisons between the Mac Pro and MBP from Bare Feats or Ars. I'm definitely in the minority here - no one using Quickbooks and Photoshop as much as I do "needs" an octocore Mac Pro. But, I've got one and love it. It seems for what I'm doing the decrease in performance might be negligible, if not undetectable entirely (aside from gaming and enconding).

  • LED cinema display + Mac Pro + Boot camp = build in iSight not working

    Hallo,
    I hope that anybody has the same situation. I bought a Mac Pro and the LED cinema display. Installed boot camp and windows vista. Now I recognized that the iSight camera build in the LED cinema display is not always working. Mostly not. Sometimes the iSight is recognised but as written mostly not . May be the USB is out of specification. I want to give the display back and buy a new one. Before i go this way I want to be sure that normally this configuration is working. Could anybody please confirm this?
    Thank you, Frank

    Thank you for your quick response.
    You're welcome, frankiko
    Is it true that in your opinion it should work?
    No.
    I will try your suggestions ... send back the LED cinema display... it seems to be working with MacOS.
    Your new information is helpful. Because your system, including iSight, consistently work properly when running Mac OS X, your LED cinema display, iSight, Mac, and Mac OS X, are obviously working properly.
    Although I do not use Windows®, the problem you describe must be with your Windows® installation and/or configuration. Therefore, returning the display will not resolve your problem unless you plan to use some different camera that you know works with your Windows® installation.
    Before you return your LED display, you may wish to consider any of the following that may be relevant to the system you are using:
    (1) If you use Mac OS X 10.5 Boot Camp with Vista: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1606
    (2) If you use Mac OS X 10.6 Boot Camp with Vista: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3777
    (3) If it is an option in your version of Boot Camp, have you tried repairing the Boot Camp drivers? See your Boot Camp Installation Guide for help on how to repair the drivers and reinstall a specific driver if necessary.
