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.

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
Click here for Maya 2015 requirements
Click here for Photoshop requirements
Click here for Zbrush requirements
Click here for Corel Painter requirements (When you get to the page, click on system requirements)
Any and all help is appreciated! Thank you in advance for your advice and help!

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.

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.

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.

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.

I did some updates and now it says I need a new graphics card.

I can no longer open up iMovie and photo booth. How do I know what I need? It Says "imovie requires a graphics card that is compatible with QUARTZ EXTREME. One or more of your graphics cards do not support Quartz Extreme."

You'll have to call 1-800-MYAPPLE and order the Snow Leopard upgrade sic. It's either $19 or $29 (I forget). Apply the update and then make sure that you update to 10.6.8 - the last version of Snow Leopard that was released.
The system info will show whether or not your video card supports Quartz Extereme - I suspect that it does but that you may have a version of iMovie that doesn't recognize it.
Good luck,
Clinton

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.

Need a new Graphics Card

My GeForce 8800 GT is toast it seems. It has been very flaky since the last OS update and then Apple supposedly fixed the issues with the graphics update. It seemed to improve, but after a week or so I cant even use the card. It crashes the machine hard after startup 100%.
I tried it in Boot Camp with the latest Nvidia drivers for Windows 7 and a similar result, so Im guessing it its the card and not Apple's driver for OSX.
That said, I want to get a new card. But Im not sure whats the best *AND MOST STABLE* in the 10.6.4 environment.
I have a 30" Cinema Display and my Mac Pro specs are listed below. I do a lot of Photoshop workd (CS5), but I also run games like Starcraft II and Final Fantasy XIV in Boot Camp.
Anyone out there know whats the best card currently? Much appreciated!

Nothing really wrong with it, except that it is half of the 5870 and equal to or a bit slower than the 4870.
The price, and availability, is good however.
What I really have against the 5770, is that it is (as usual) a lower end, standard card for a professional grade machine.
The 5870 is now a mid level card, being last years high end card.
I figure that if one is going to upgrade, it should have some future proofing to it.
Having said that, the 4870 is yesterdays news......
One thing that the 5770 has going (in PC circles) is in a Crossfire setup, the 5770 pair is faster than the 5870.
Same said for a pair of 4870's.
Of course, Crossfire is still only a Windows function, as Apple doesn't think that we need it in OS X.....
Flashed 4870's seem to work pretty well, so there is always that option....
Here's one take on comparison (25 pages of tests) from last year:

☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Scroll back in the log to the time you noted above. Select any messages timestamped from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat, whichever comes first. Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.

Do I need a new graphics card?

Despite calibration, my monitor cannot distinguish subtle whites, greys or creams. I did the white saturation test on http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/white.php and can only see the checkerboard and nothing else.

I believe i need a new graphics card

Hi i recently had problems booting up my mac, well those problems were never resolved unfortuantely,
The problems were that when i tried to bopot up my mac os a grey screen appeared and told me to restart my computer, it also appears when i try to boot from disk,
when i try to start bootcamp i get blue spots on the startup screen and explorer says that the graphics card isnt working properly.
After this took out the graphics card and cleaned it, which allowed me to boot up my mac once or twice but then it went back to how it was before.
i took it to my local apple store and they agreed that the graphics card was probably the problem.
I was running an nvidia 8800gt i believe.
If anyone has ideas on how i could remedy this situation it wouyld be greatly appecieated.
Otherwise i was wondering what graphics card you would suggest i buy to replace my old one, i am a student though and so have a limited budget

Good luck. I’ve seen a lot of posts regarding replacing the graphics card in older Mac Pro’s.(take a look here: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=410804 (you don’t say which MacPro you have, so I’m making an assumption here). From what I have seen, you are stuck with getting another 8800 (especially if you are running 10.6). Stuck is a relative term here, since that is an excellent card.
I say stuck because the cheapest I’ve seen them is $270. I’am sure someone here has another alternative, but most of them would require “flashing” the card, a procedure that I am not fond of.

I need a new graphics card for my iMac Apple will not sell me one so I can repair it myself, help

my graphics card as gone on my iMac Apple will not sell me one so that I can repair it myself, any suggestions

not sure which iMac you have but since the old 24" model the video card is not a separate board but a part of the main board so to fix it you would have to buy a smd gpu chip and solder the smd legs manually few people can manage such feat the only leg compatible gpu chips would work of cause in which case it would be more of a nvidia or amd having to sell you the gpu chip then apple as apple don't make gpu chips

Do I need a new grapics card?

I have a factory(somewhat) Deminsion 3000 from Dell. The only thing that I have upgraded on it was the memory (512MB to 2gigs) I play a game which I think most people are familiar with, World of Warcraft. Now my question is related to FPS. The computer starts and loads decently, but for all of those who play WoW, hearthing is moderatly fast and so is loading screens, but general moving around is sluggish at best with all setting on LOW (average of 3 FPS while moving and 3 FPS standing still). I was wondering if a new graphics card would help fix this, and if so, what do I look for? I was also wondering if a new graphics card would make my youtube video's run faster while having WoW minimized, and possibly streaming with Xfire?
Thanks,
Zef

Your biggest bottle neck is your processor. Although WoW does use the video card, and a new one would help, it's just not worth it imo. WoW is very processor heavy and that is what will give you the biggest increase in performance.
I don't think the computer has a PCI-Express port, so you'd have to get a PCI video card and you might even need a more powerful power supply....all things that are not worth it.
You'll be MUCH better off getting a new computer and upgrading the PSU and video card on the new one. (Unless its a gaming PC out of the box)
Youtube 'speed' is generally based off of your internet connection, not the video card. As far as streaming, you'll need a new video card and processor before you can play and stream efficiently.
I don't play WoW anymore, but I can tell you how big of a different the processor makes vs. a new video card. I used to get 10-12fps mid fight / Dalaran with an old AMD 5000+ dual core, 5gb of ddr2 and an Nvidia 260gt video card. I picked up the Intel i7-970 6-core, 6gb of ram, and the same Nvidia 260gt... but this time around, my fps didn't drop below 60 no matter what I was doing.
On a side note, I guess that explains how people can be so bad at WoW. Getting 3 FPS while moving must make it hard to play well...
Although I do work for the Geek Squad, all comments and opinions are my own.

Need guidance on new graphics card connectivity.

Hey,
I want to upgrade my current graphics card "ATI Radeon 4800 Series" to a newer more capable graphics card mainly for gaming. (Black Ops is coming out tomorrow and I feel it's time for an update)
My current PC specification is as follows:
Harddrive: 500GB
RAM: 4GB
CPU: Intel Pentium Dual Core 2.80GHz
Motherboard: GF 7050V-M7
PSU: 650W
Graphics Card: ATI Radeon 4800 Series
Operating System: Windows XP Service Pack 3
I need your help to find me a new graphics card that it is compatible with my motherboard/other components at around £130!
Thanks for your time!
Hatton

You need to re-read what I said... I said if he wanted to build a new computer based on a new motherboard, I did NOT say this would be a pop-in replacement for his existing motherboard
There are several ASUS models, I picked the P6T SE since it had the right balance of features and price
I have 6x2Gig ram sticks for 12Gig... if I was building today, now that prices are lower, I would start with 3x4Gig to leave room for adding 12Gig later
I use the onboard sound and it works fine for my needs
As well as an nVidia GTX285 (today, I would buy a GTX470) I have a Pinnacle Dv500 digitizing card, which I use via dual-boot with WinXP
