A wierd thing with the MSI Radeon 9800 Pro

I bought this card a few days ago and the wierd thing is that the Windows "thinks" its a 9800XT and not 9800Pro.
I installed the latest ATI Drivers (4.8) and there is no change.
did someone solved this problem.

  • Can I replace an ATI RADEON 9800 PRO-(256MB)-MAC EDITION with Mac ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb Video Card For G4/G5

    Hi,
    I am trying to help a friend whose graphics card has bust.
    The old one was an ATI RADEON 9800 PRO-(256MB)-MAC EDITION.
    I've been looking on ebay and it seems a lot cheaper to get a Mac ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb Video Card For G4/G5.
    Can I just swap them over?  The connectors are not identical according to the photographs.
    Thanks.

    I'd like to thank everyone for all the really useful information in this thread. It helped me solve a similar problem, which I'll describe here briefly in case it helps someone else.
    I have a 2004/5 dual 2 Ghz PowerPC G5 and an Apple Cinema HD display linked, as I later found out, with the now defunct ADC connector. The display suddenly started to look like that scene in The Matrix, when code falls like rain down the screen, and I worked out I needed to replace my Radeon 9800 pro video card (I discovered the board was blue when I removed a thick layer of dust).
    I took japamac's excellent advice and bought a Geforce 6800 Ultra from the linked eBay seller in Hong Kong, who delivered it extremely quickly, along with the cables to plug it into the DVD drive power source and a CD with installation instructions. It was only then that I realised the card had two DVI connectors and my display needed ADC (I hadn't understood the difference).
    eBay came to the rescue again with a seller who had a secondhand DVI to ADC adapter, which Apple produced  when it phased out ADC about six years ago but no longer sells. It has its own power supply and looks like a large version of the Mac laptop power cables - and has added signifcantly to the pile of spaghetti under my desk.
    Installing the Geforce 6800 Ultra is fiddly, and a bit scary if you're not used to delving into the insides of a Mac, but the instructions were clear and illustrated with useful photos. The video cable has four connectors. Two fit into the end of the card, the other two (linked in a Y shape) form a bridge between the DVD/superdrive and its power cable. You have to remove the DVD drive, unplug it, and then plug one of the two Y video card connectors into the DVD power cable and the other into the DVD drive itself. Then you replace the DVD drive, plug the two remaining cable connectors to the video card and ease it into the old card's AGP slot.
    Finally, with the G5 reassembled, plug the adapter's DVI connection into the back of the card, plug the Cinema Display ADC cable into the adapter block, plug the adapter's USB cable into the G5 (this enables the the USB ports on the back of the display to work), and power up.
    At the time of writing, the display has been up and running for a couple of hours and all seems fine.
    Thanks again everyone for all your help and advice. If it wasn't for communities like this, it would be virtually impossible to solve problems with old but still serviceable Macs.

  • Which monitor to buy for the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro w/256MB?

    Has anyone successfully hooked an LCD through the DVI port at a resolution other than the 1920x1200 max resolution stated on the ATI box? Would a native resolution of 1680x1050 work with this card?
    I was thinking about getting the Gateway FPD2185W monitor. Has anyone else had good results with this monitor?

    I have settled on the Gateway FPD2185W. This is a great 21" widescreen, and the ATI card handles the pivot capability very nicely. It's not automatic like on a PC but it does work.

  • ATI Radeon 9800 Pro Firmware (APPLE OEM) Display Isse

    This has probibley been covered somewhere else, but.
    I have a G5 with the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro, (APPLE OEM) Came installed. Recentley I've been getting diistortion on my desktop, random squares, just wierd graphics issues.
    I contacted Apple, did a reinstall (Archieve and Clean) of 10.4, did everything they said, then they gave up and sent me a new card. The new card seems to have the same problms, (A little less intensley, but its there)
    Does anyone know any solutions to this, is there a firmware update for this card. I already updated to drivers from the ATI site to (4.5.7) but the aug2005-radeon-universal-rom-update says it does not work on Apple OEM Cards. Any Solutions? Please HELP.

  • Having trouble with my G4 MDD 867MHz DP and ATi Radeon 9800 Pro video card.

    I just recently purchased the ATi Radeon 9800 Pro Mac edition card on ebay. I installed the card on my G4 and turned it on thinking everything would work with no problems, but when I turned it on the grey apple screen came up fine and then it changed to a sky-blue screen with nothing on it and remained on that screen. My desktop or any of my apps did not load up at all. I reset the PRAM and the NVRAM as the seller I bought the card from instructed me to and still I get the same result. Is anyone familiar with this problem? I was wondering if my monitor was the problem because I'm using a Dell LCD monitor as the display for right now? I need help! I'm trying to get this up and running so I can start editing. Whatever information anyone can give me will be greatly appreciated!

    Sometimes display cards that support multiple displays (or a second display card in the same Mac) can cause the display you are using to be the SECOND display in a multiple-display "extended desktop".
    When this happens, the MenuBar and cursor may be drawn perfectly, but be on the "other" screen, and it is very difficult to determine what has happened. \[This problem is sometimes caused by inadvertently leaving an adapter or cable on an unused display port.]
    Try moving the mouse many times to the right to see if the cursor suddenly transitions onto your screen, then try the same experiment to the left.

  • 875P INF Drivers and Radeon 9800 Pro All in Wonder

    Please help; I am at my absolute wits end.  I will try to be brief but I doubt that there is much chance that it will be.  Basically I have narrowed things down to this.  My video card is a Radeon 9800 Pro All in Wonder 128mb version.  My motherboard is a MSI 875p.  Lately I realized (long story not important) that I did not have the inf drivers from intel installed for my mobo.  This seemed to make sense as to why I was having display issues in games; IE Morrowind.  So I installed them, and when I rebooted I was pleasantly surprised to find that the monitor would simply turn off right before I could get to the login.  Now I have reinstalled windows several times and installed several different combinations of intel inf updates with different version of the Catalyst drivers.  Pretty much, if I have the INF drivers installed, I will not be able to get into windows.  However, if I don't have them installed (like right now) normal things, like typing this message, I can do, but I can't play any games   .  From what I have read I am thinking that it is one of a few things.  A, it has something to do with the AGP driver/ and voltage setting things.  Many people were talking about issues like this with the 9600, and 9800 pro (not all in wonder).  So there might be some bios settings that would help; though I have no knowledge of how such things work. B, is that the card is just a dud and I should just give it up and try to send it back in.  I am afraid of option B mainly because I know it will take forever, and then I have no comp, and because of dreaded option C.  The motherboard is simply incompatabile with the Radeon 9800 Pro All in Wonder 128mb version.  Please let me know if anyone has had similiar problems, if I am up a creek, or how to set the bios...  Here is my system specs; I will check back to see if I need to add anything.  Thanks a bunch.

    (There doesn't seem to be anything in the Bios updates that will help me luckily, because I want to avoid flashing it if I can.)

    Okay, I will try to answer any questions as they came.  First off, Windows XP Professional is what I have.  I tried to install the video drivers with both the inf update from intel, and the one from MSI installed.  Again it crashes at login screen with any sort of inf update (ie agp drivers) installed.  Radeon is running at 4x with fast writes disabled, however there is one interesting thing I learned Another thing to note about the problem is when I got to the ATI SMARTGART advanced settings little program (within the ati folder under program files) I can see that PCI write, and read are both on, and AGP read and write are both off. I am not a genius in relation to computers, but how could this card be acting as a PCI card, when it is installed in a AGP slot?  Is this because since I don't have the inf update installed, so as far as the computer knows that agp slot is a PCI one? A further thing to note is that whenever I install the video card driver for my All in Wonder 9800 Pro, is that it installs two cards from what device manager shows. One is "ALL-IN-WONDER 9800 SERIES" the other is ALL-IN-WONDER 9800 SERIES - Secondary". According to device manager they are both located on PCI Bus 1, device 0. Disabling one or the other does not seem to make difference. A final thing to note is that I took an All in Wonder 9000 out of a friends comp and put it into my with the inf update installed; it booted windows and detected it fine. Does this mean my card is a dud and needs to be sent in for repairs, or is there some kind of voltage issue?  As for other PCI cards, I have a modem that is not even installed at:
    PCI Slot 2 (PCI bus 3, device 1, function 0)
    Sound card at PCI Slot 3 (PCI bus 3, device 2, function 0)
    Again Video Card (PCI bus 1, device 0, function 0)
    The onboard Gigabit Ethernet is at (PCI bus 2, device 1, function 0)
    Another thing that might help clue someone in is that I have
    Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller
    Listed 5 times; IRQ's are 23, 16, 19, 18, 16
    The IRQ of my All-In-Wonder is also 16 if this means anything. No conflicts listed of course.  Another note is that my onboard ethernet's irq is 18, same as one of the usb host controllers, and it works fine...
    I can't think of anything else to add, let me know what you think.  Thanks a ton so far guys.

  • ATI/Radeon 9800 Pro 128 AGP 4x/2x in Gigabit Ethernet dual 450 PMac G4

    Hi,
    This is my first time posting to these discussion group... I've been going through related threads and have not found an answer to my problem...
    I have a Gigabit Ethernet dual 450 G4. Awhile ago I upgraded the processor to a Sonnet 1.8ghz so I could run Leopard.
    I just bough the ATI/Radeon 9800 Pro 128 AGP 4x/2x video card. I researched around and that seemed to be a card that would work in my machine. I even read a review on Amazon where someone had also upgraded to the 1.8 processor used this card with no issues.
    I do have an older monitor - Apple Studio Display CRT with the ADC connector. So I also bought the Apple DVI to ADC adapter kit.
    I installed the card and do not get any picture at all - I believe I have installed everything correctly. I'm pretty sure I can hear the fan on the video card in the machine. The monitor is getting power from the adapter since the button lights up when I press it - but it does not stay lit -- the monitor never turns on. Using my old graphics card the monitor makes a little "beep" when it turns on.
    In reading the other topics I am wondering if it might be a power issue? According to Other World Computing's profile my machine has a max of 220 watts. Although they suggest this video card as one the will work in my machine.
    I have disabled the hard drive that came with the machine (too small) and am using two Maxtor hard drives that I added - one ATA (120gb) and one SATA (500gb) that is connected to an SATA pci card. I also have two additional pci cards with usb 2.0/firewire ports.
    In looking at the topics here I came across the link about taping the 3 and 11 pins on the video card. Even though the card I have is 4x/2x not 8x I thought I'd give it a shot. That did not work either.
    Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.

    I don't wish to sound redundant here, but I've been reviewing the vendor's page:
    It's OK- I don't mind beating this dead horse....
    The maker says such to protect themselves from possible claims that may arise due to over loaded systems and power problems when their card is installed in said system.
    Of course, 300w would be nice, but they didn't even specify the PSU rating a couple years ago. The Sawtooth, with it's 237w PSU, used to be listed as a compatible machine for the 9800...... They just didn't consider how far a Sawtooth might be modded.
    Within reason, the early G4's (Sawtooths) are capable of using the Radeon 9800 Pro. The GE has the same 338w PSU as the DA (they are interchangeable), so there is plenty of power for the 9800.
    One thing to remember, the requirements of the ADC port of the AGP slot are removed by using a non ADC card. This really changes the calculations of the power available.
    It's kinda' a long post, but, if you care to get ALL the details, check the following:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7065653&#7065653
    I think you'll be satisfied with the explanation.......
    Which leaves your second, and very appropriate, point.
    The main enemy of all, though, isn't power. Heat is the biggest concern.
    Reducing heat/increasing cooling by using a third party fan on the 9800 is highly recommended. The 9800 is a hot card, and the stock fan is prone to early failure.
    Adding additional cooling to remove the extra heat produced by the 9800, by using an exausting PCI fan, will also help the PSU provide adequate voltage to the system, by reducing the amount of hot air moving out of the PSU.
    Super heated air moving through the PSU reduces the cooling ability of the PSU. A hot PSU doesn't produce reliable power.
    So, add the 9800, add some cooling, and enjoy!

  • Aperture and ATI Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Special Edition

    I have noticed a few people on this board have the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Special Edition (256MB- G5 only) listed on thier specs on the bottom of posts
    so I was wondering what your experience using this card is like with Aperture, even-though it I realize that it is not the current top of the line card ?
    How about a rating from 0 to 5 stars where 5 would be the best currently available.
    Robert
    P.S lets not get into a p**** match over what IS the best video card for Aperture; I am just looking for subjective views on THIS card!

    the best currently available.
    I have just the card you mentioned.
    I think how happy you'd be with it depends on what kinds of files you are using. I work with TIFF files because my camera is not supported, and performance with those is better than with true RAW files.
    I generally do not see much delay but a few adjustmnet tools (Shadows & Highlights & Spot/Patch) can get a bit pokey.
    Honestly if I were upgrading my card all over again I would bit the bullet and get the x800XT, which I am mulling over even now... I was hoping it might drop a bit more in price but it does not seem to be doing so.
    If you want an absolute rating I guess I'd give it three stars, though again that is with the files that I use. For other larger RAW formats like D2H files and such, I think it's more of a two.
    One last thing to note is that I have not tired other raw formats since the update, so it might be upgraded from a two... I was waiting to see what kind of speedup Aperture 1.1 offered in addition to just the system update. I'll report back when that update comes out.

  • ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128 mb on Dual 867?

    I have been reading up on doing an upgrade to my system. I was looking at a Mac version of the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128 mb video card for it.
    For this particular machine if I find a Mac version of the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro, it will fit into the board won't it?
    Also, I currently have the 64 mb ATI Radeon 9000 Pro. I should see a definite performance boost shouldn't I?
    I am not a power user, and have 1 gig of memory on here, but since installing Ilife '08, it seems slower than it used to. I would like to move up to 10.5 and want to do what I can to make it run decently.

    I'm using this card in my MDD Dual 867. First installed it with Panther and saw an improvement in some things. Nothing stellar for day to day work but it was noticeable. I then downloaded some game demos I was not able to play before (frame rates and all) and suddenly I could play them. It's worth it, especially when moving up to Tiger or Leopard with all that Core technology.

  • Radeon 9800 Pro overheating?

    I have the K8T Neo2-FIR.  Just was wondering if anyone else had noticed an "artifact" drawing and then shutdown of Windows when using a Radeon 9800?  I believe this is an indication of overheating of the graphics card?  
    If anyone else has experienced this, please let me know what options I have.  I have been told to try the Artic VGA Silencer (?), and some people at work told me to just get a cheapo PCI dual-fan card.  
    Setup:
    I have a pretty nice Antec case that supposed to have a nice PSU, somewhere over 400W.  I currently only have the two exhaust fans on the back, and an intake fan on the side (with spots to add an additional two intake(?) fans on the front, which I'll probably do at some point).  I notice that at the BIOS the 12V reading seems a little low, at 11.3ish, but was assured by MSI tech that this was within the OK parameters.  Any thoughts on this contributing to my problem?  What should be the normal/average VCore and voltage readings with AMD64 3500+, Radeon 9800 Pro, 2 512 DIMMs of Kingston RAM (1GB total), SATA HD, DVD-burner, and an Audigy card?

  • K7N420 Pro - ATI Radeon 9800 Pro

    Hi,
    I was PM'd earlier with a ATI Radeon 9800 Pro / K7N420 question. He's got a similar setup to mine, so I thought I'd put it to you guys (I'm also quite curious).
    If there's anyone on the forums with a similar setup to mine (see signature below) that can give me any info on possible issues with an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro on the K7N420?
    I would also be grateful if anyone through past experience (or otherwise) can give me any idea of the possible 3DMark 2001SE scores using this MoBo/graphics card combination. (I'm getting around 8000 with my present ATI Radeon 8500 & and AMD 1800+ XP).
    Any input would be greatly appreciated.

  • ATI Radeon 9800 Pro and Apple Cinema Display compatibility

    I'd like to buy an Apple Cinema Display for my 5-year-old Power Mac G5 with an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro, but I'm having trouble understanding what I can and can't hook up to my system.
    I was thinking of getting a 30" display, but the Apple Store says I need a Dual-Link DVI, which I don't think my graphics card supports, but the Store also says I need an ATI Radeon 9650 or better, which I imagine the 9800 Pro is.
    I've looked at the ATI site for data on the graphics card, but their online manual shows a completely different set of connections on the card. They show VGA and S-Video out ports that mine doesn't have.
    Does my ATI Radeon 9800 Pro have dual-link? If so, can I use the 30" display? If not, can I still use the 30" display?
    If I can't use the 30" display, are there any compatibility problems with the 23" Apple Cinema Display?

    The 9800 is faster than the 9650, but it doesn't have a dual-link DVI port.
    Make sure you were looking at the Mac section of ATI's site. PC and Mac versions of the same card may have different port configurations.
    AGP cards with dual-link DVI, starting with the fastest:
    ATI Radeon X800 XT 256MB (ADC, dual-link DVI) (Some reports of problems with Leopard)
    <http://www.welovemacs.com/0831xeghr.html>
    NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra 256 MB (Two dual-link DVI)
    <http://www.welovemacs.com/6613332.html>
    NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GT 256 MB (Two dual-link DVI)
    <http://www.welovemacs.com/6613441.html>
