ADC and DVI  (GeForce FX 5200)

Hello,
I need some help! I have been offered a G5 1,8Ghz PowerMac with a GeForce FX 5200.
Just a while ago, I bought an LCD Monitor (22``) with only one D-SUB socket (analog).
Do I have the chance to run this monitor with the installed GeForce ???
Hope to get some usefull tips.

You should be able to run it with the help of this adapter...

  • Pink Screen with 17" ADC and DVI converter

    This issue could be with the Apple ADC to DVI convertor box or cable, but I can't confirm if it is that or my monitor. I am using a 17" clear ACD with a mac mini, and I started to get intermittant bright pink screens, which has progressed into pink all the time, and a horizontally squashed screen that shows the desktop twice (one on top of the other, both squashed).
    I am pretty sure that the cable coming out of the convertor box is the culprit, since I was able to get it working normally by jiggling the cable, and it started acting up when I was plugging and unplugging some USB devices. Now it won't work properly at all, and I do not have an old computer to plug the monitor in directly to check with. I did plug the monitor and convertor into a G5 PowerMac, and had the same result. When I plugged in a newer 20" Apple aluminum display into the Mini, it worked fine.
    The trouble is that all of the cables on the monitor and convertors are built in and not easily replaced.
    Any suggestions?

    I bought a new ADC/DVI converter ($99) and that fixed it. I am almost positive it was only the cable.
    My question is: why can't Apple PLEASE make these convertor boxes AND their monitors with removable/replaceable cables?
    I ended up spending 10 times what I should have to fix the issue. it should have never broken in the first place, since it rarely even ever got touched, and had never been disconnected.
    Just for grins, after I bought the new converter, I tried to open the old one to see if I could remove the cable. I could not even get the box open without destroying it.
    My 20" Cinema Display has a dead bug inside it, and it is also impossible to open up without destroying it, just to clean it.
    I just have to express my displeasure at Apple making their products non-servicable. What a waste.

  • Display repeatedly sleeps and wakes - Geforce FX 5200 DVI

    Hi There
    I own a G4 powermac Quicksilver (733MHz) 10.4.11.
    For a long time I have been using an old mitsubishi 17" monitor alongside my powermacs standard 32mb VGA graphics card.
    Recently I decided to buy a 20" Apple Cinema Display and a new Nvidia GeForce FX5200 256mb (DVI and VGA) graphics card which would apparently work with my g4 and the display.
    I installed the graphics card firstly using it with my VGA monitor and everything appeared to work fine. I later tried it with my new apple display and everything was working at first but after about a minute of being on the display started repeatedly sleeping and waking constantly.
    Now this is all that happens when I turn on my g4.
    I thought it could possibly be a driver issue but I don't no were to look?
    Does anyone have any ideas what I could do?
    Thanks
    Freddie

    Yes, I am sure it's the same hardware (unless someone snuck into my office and made a switch) Musta been a full moon or something but at least I have a witness.
    So what would be the cheapest VC upgrade that would permanantly reinstate the rotation.
    Thanks for your imput

  • Connecting ADC monitor and DVI monitor to G4?

    Hello,
    Like my specs say, I'm running a dual 1 ghz quicksilver 2002 g4 and am trying to connect the 23" display AS WELL as the 15" ADC flatscreen (legacy?)
    My video card is only vga and adc and my computer has an agp slot.
    So I'm figuring that I need a new AGP card with both a DVI and ADC input...correct? If so, does anyone have recommendations on any? How about alternate routes I should take?
    Thank You

    A Mac NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti would work. It has ADC and DVI.

    You may be able to find one used.

  • Dual ADC and dual VGA......Possible?

    My mate and I are both running a VGA LCD display connected via the included VGA to DVI adaptor plus an Apple Studio Display (ADC). Both on G4 MDD.
    Identical Systems at work (Pre-Press)
    Is there a way that He can run two LCD's and I can run two Apple Studio Displays?

    So, (assuming one card, with one of each ADC and DVI ports) to run another ADC display on a machine with an existing ADC display, you need a DVI to ADC adapter like the following:

    http://www.smalldog.com/product/12651652/atfgc
    Then, to run 2 VGA displays on one machine, you need the current DVI to VGA adapter plus an ADC to VGA adapter:

  • GeForce FX 5200 Video Card

    Hi everyone!
    I'm finding conflicting info concerning the graphics card requirement for FCE HD.
    I have an original 20 inch iMac with a G5 Power PC processor and a GeForce FX 5200 Video Card, running Panther on the internal HD and Tiger on an external FW drive.
    Will FCE HD work with the GeForce FX 5200 Video Card?
    Many thanks,

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    On Apple Support specification for original G5 20" iMac :
    http://support.apple.com/specs/imac/iMac_G5.html
    We can see:
    "NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 Ultra with 64MB DDR SDRAM with AGP 8X support"
    On Final Cut Express HD specifications page:
    http://www.apple.com/finalcutexpress/specs.html
    We can see:
    "An AGP or PCI Express graphics card compatible with Quartz Extreme or an Intel GMA integrated graphics processor in MacBook or Mac mini"
    Quartz Extreme needs at least:spec says:
    "Quartz Extreme functionality is supported by the following video GPUs: NVIDIA GeForce2 MX and later, or any AGP-based ATI RADEON GPU. A minimum of 16MB VRAM is required."
    FCE HD3.5 application must be installed on your system disk to run without problem, and needs Mac OS X 10.4.6 (Tiger) to run.
    So, yes, your iMac can run FCE HD 3.5 .
    I Currently use FCE HD 3.0 on my other computer: an iMac G4 17"

  • G5 GeForce FX 5200 graphics and third party monitor

    I need to buy a new monitor on which I can change manual settings, to work with a G5 1.6GHz using a GeForce FX 5200 card.
    Unfortunately the new Mac displays (24") only use a mini display port. And the 20" cinema displays are no longer sold.
    I have seen a Dell Ultrasharp 2209WA 22" with VGA and DVI-D ports. It's 1680 x 1050 resolution. Any ideas on compatibility with the graphics card? Will the DVI port on the G5 work with it? I would prefer to use the DVI rather then the VGA port.
    Thanks.
    kevin

    Hi Japamac; thanks for your reply.
    I was referring to being able to change, using physical controls on the monitor itself, the Brightness, contrast, colour temp.
    I had read elsewhere (somewhere in this support section, I think), that using the manual controls had become a problem when connected to this card/G5.
    We currently have an old ADC connected 17" monitor, on which there are no manual controls of that sort. (The purpose of making these manual settings is to use in conjunction with a Spyder2Pro for colour calibration).

  • Dell Widescreen Displays and GeForce FX 5200

    Hi everyone,
    I have a PowerMac G5 1.6 GHz with the original GeForce 5200 that came in it.
    I'm shopping around for a replacement monitor and am considering Dell's 20.1" wide model (2005FPW).
    Does anybody have any experience with this combination? I see that some have had problems with the DVI connector on the Dell displays. I also can't find anything that assures me that my video card is capable of displaying at the Dell's native 1680x1050 resolution.
    Any help or other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to avoid the high price of the Apple displays.
    PowerMac G5 1.6 GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    It's with some comfort that others have the same problem I do, getting my Dell 2005fpw to interface with my GeForce FX 5200 on my PowerPC G5,running OS 10.3.9. I've seen elsewhere (can't remember where) Mac users raving about their Dell monitors. They know something I don't, I guess, and that's why I'm in this discussion.
    I wonder how users of the Apple Cinema 20" are able to interface with the GeForce 5200, when the Cinema requires the same 1680x1050 resolution as the Dell. I've accessed the nVIDIA site to download an update, but no luck. Think I'll go back in & look at the resolutions available on the GeForce 5200.

  • Only DVI with GeForce FX 5200

    I just bought a Dual G5 1.8 off craigslist and this is the first non-integrated display computer I've owned (5 lappies later).
    Purchased an Acer X223W (22in DVI input) and plugged it into the DVI port on the GeForce FX 5200. Turned on the display, then turned on the G5 and.... nothing. No video that is... the computer runs fine.
    My question is this, is the DVI port only for second monitors, or should this work? I'd just stick in the system discs but joe craigslist couldn't find em and I've only got the ones that came with my macbook...
    So before I go beg, borrow or buy some retail discs, I thought I'd check and see if this should work in theory
    thanks!

    Okay, I've been searching and searching and It seems like this should be possible (others seem to be running just off the DVI port).
    I've got the discs and used them. I've zapped the pram and restarted with the discs but still no luck...
    Any ideas on how to get this mac to recognize this monitor?

  • GeForce FX 5200 and Dell 20" 2005FPW - not recognized

    Hello,
    I just got a dell monitor figuring that my computer could support it as it's the same as the apple display. It works with my powerbook - recognized by name, but that's an ati card. With the G5, it works in the VGA, but not at the correct resolution. it won't go to 1600 and there is no 1620 X 1050.
    When the dvi cable is connected, the self test dissapears, but the monitor just goes to sleep.
    I have the 64mb card....maximum res is 1900+. What's the deal? PC users can force the resolution with a utility. Am I stuck buying a new card for my machine??
    thanks for any help.

    Sam,
    Don't waste your money. Your GeForce FX 5200 will run your Dell. In fact, I'm writing to you with my Dell 2005FPW monitor, running on my GeForce FX 5200. In this discussion group, I saw a suggestion to zap (reset) the PRAM. It worked for me.
    Using the monitor that does work, zap your PRAM. When you zap your PRAM, as the G5 instruction manual says, release the 4 keys after the second chime. Then, you must go in and reselect, thru System Preferences, your Mac HD as the boot-up drive. Your manual says all this. ShutDown.
    After I did all that, I reconnected my Dell, started up, & VOILA! Not only that, but when I went into System Preferences->Displays, I saw the Dell's 1680x1050 resolution as the selected resolution, so the GeForce seems to configure itself to anticipated device resolutions.
    However, reading other threads in this group in trying to solve my problem, I saw that zapping PRAM doesn't always work. If it doesn't work for you, I suggest you go thru all the threads that seem to apply to your problem, because other considerations (not necessarily solutions) are offered.

  • ADC to DVI and DVI to VGA on my G5

    I have a G5 with an ATI 9600 video card that has both DVI and ADC outputs.  I cannot find am ADC to VGA adapter, but I was wondering if I could use and ADC to DVI adapter and then connect that to a DVI to VGA adapter and use a 2nd VGA monitor on my Mac.  Has anhyone tried this?
    Thanks!

    ADC to DVI-D adapters pass digital, not analog. There is no way for DVI to VGA to receive analog from the ADC port.

  • PowerMacG5 - Geforce FX 5200 and TV Out

    Does the Apple DVI to SVideo adapter works fine for sending my movies on tv ?
    I've got a PowerMac G5 DP1.8GHz with a Geforce FX 5200 video card.
    Thx for reply.

    The card came with a TV-Out S-C Connecting Cable (that´s how it says in the card´s web page).

  • 2 DVI monitors with G5 (1 ADC and 1 DVI port)

    I have 2 Apple monitors with DVI connectors and a G5 with 1 DVI and 1 ADC port.
    I have just bought a "DVI to ADC Adapter" but it looks backwards (for connecting an ADC monitor to a DVI port).
    What can I do?

    Hi-
    You need an ADC to DVI adapter, like this. The description is very dated, but, this is what is needed to connect a DVI monitor to an ADC graphics port. This is another one.
    So, you bought something like this?

  • QuickSilver 867 G4 with default ADC and Dell 1704FPT LCD DVI

    I finally have a digital LCD to use with my Quicksilver 867 Mhz G4, thanks to a package deal with Dell.
    But I wonder if my Mac's build-in ADC support can drive the DVI input of the Dell 1704FPT LCD, with Apple's ADC to DVI adapter, or if I need to get a DVI video card for this purpose. I plan to run at a 1280 by 1024 resoultion.
    For that matter, I have a DVI switchbox and Sony 19" DVI digital LCD in use with my PC's and Mac mini. Would the build-in ADC support that as well with the adapter?
    Thanks for our input.

    Update: Here are the specifics on my card and monitor. I note no core image support.
    I'd really appreciate feedback on whether I can use this card for DVI output to my LDC monitor.
    Thanks.

  • GeForce FX 5200 and Windows ME

    I have a machine that dual boots into Windows ME.  I just installed an MSI GeForce FX 5200 graphics card and an MSI NForce2 board.  I have installed the NForce 2.03 drivers, but when I install the GeForce 43.45 or 44.03 Windows ME drivers, the system either shuts down automatically at the beginning of the Windows startup, or it just hangs.  I have done everything I can think of regarding the IRQs, etc.  Windows ME works OK when the GeForce drivers are uninstalled - it boots up, but only 8bit graphics.  Windows XP and Red Hat Linux 9 work fine on this same machine.  Are there problems with the newer GeForce drivers for Windows ME??  Any help would be appreciated. ?(  ?(

    It's not the sharing that's causing your problems guys, go back to 41.09 Nvidia drivers and it should work fine. There are issues with the newer drivers that I've seen out there...give it a try and let us know how it works.
    Make sure to clean ALL old drivers off of your system first so that you aren't mixing them. Use Drivecleaner or something similar to clean them off or do it manually, then reinstall the new drivers. I think gfilliti has posted a link to Drivecleaner somewhere here in the forum so do a search for it.
