Again please help upgrading graphic card

Help help, I am getting confused now, and probalby te question has been asked a million times but....If I want to ugrade from the standard 6600,(G5 Quad Core) to go for A Quadro FX 4500, do I need a special Apple one? Would a PC card not fit? Excuse me if this sounds stupid, but I just stepped into the mac world. some explaining might help.

Yes you need an special Apple one for the firmware. The problem is neither Apple nor Nvidia are selling one! Go figure. So unless you ordered the card when you bought your Quad you are SOL. If you just bought your Mac, return it and order a build to order Quad with the 4500 card already installed. Why Apple is not selling the cards as an after market accessory is beyond belief.

Please help with graphic card

hey guy i have a problem picking a graphics card that is compatible with my computer i have a pavilion a6030n specs are
Chipset
GeForce 6150SE nForce 430
Motherboard
Manufacturer: ECS
Motherboard Name: MCP61PM-HM
HP/Compaq motherboard name: Nettle-GL8E
my psu is only a 300 watt i only want a card to make my desktop like a home theater hd/bluray movies no gaming i want it to support 1080p full hd and have a hdmi output. is there any card like this that i can just install with out upgrading my psu please help thanks

Please help. I am confused. I have the same specs as the original poster and am also looking to upgrade my system, but i'm confused. The video card you recommended appears to be 512MB, however, HP's specs for the motherboard state:
Integrated graphics using nVidia GeForce 6150SE
Up to 256MB (with 512MB or more system memory)
Also supports PCI Express x16 graphics cards*
So, if it says it supports up to 256MB, should i limit my search for a new video card to only ones that have 256MB, or will a 512MB one, like the one you recommened, also work?
Thanks.

Please Help with Graphics Card "Bait & Switch"

I ordered a laptop for using as a field monitor and DVR with OnLocation (DV Rack) with the Quadro FX 2500M graphics card. At the last moment the builder says the Quadro is not available (or he can't afford it) and can only offer the NVidia 7950GTX or dual 7950 GTX SLI. Can anyone please help me decide whether or not to accept either one of these alternatives?
Need to make quick decision to accept or cancel so any help much appreciated.

Workstation cards are not really any help to the NLE user. Neither is SLI. I'd say you'll be fine with a single 7950, if you trust the guy enough to buy from him.

Need help upgrading graphics card!

Hey guys,
I am looking to upgrade the graphics card in my Quad core mac pro that I have had for about a year now. I am a video professional and run FCS, After Effects, Blender, C4D, Nuke, Mocha and everything in between. I also run 3 monitors, 2 24' Dell Ultrasharps and one older model flat panel strictly for project panels. I have been reading about the ATI cards and NVidia cards. Money is not an issue.
Can someone help and make any recommendations???
Thanks!

I believe that the ATI 5870 (available at the Apple Online Store, ≈ $450) will work with all but the first generation Mac Pros. It's as crazy as Apple is currently supporting.

Hi:
Unfortunately in most of today's notebooks (including yours), the graphics cannot be upgraded.
I looked at the service manual for your notebook, and there aren't even any other motherboards with better graphics available.
You can try the latest drivers from AMD to see if that helps, any but you can't do anything with the hardware.

Upgrading graphic card on HP DC 8300 CMT

Dear HP,
I try to upgrade graphic card, on HP DC 8300 CMT (Intel® Core™ i7-3770 Processor, Intel HD Graphics 4000 )
with Nvidia Asus GeForce GTX 650 Ti.
As stock power supply doesnt meet requirements, I installed an additional FSP Group Booster X5 450W.
Once I turn PC on, it reboots 3 times, and eventually it continues to use onboard graphic and windows 7 loads as usual .
like if new graphic card is not present. (not detected by windows)
Bios version is latest and particular option for disableing integrated graphic is grayed out- not accessible.
Is there any explanation why this happens ?
On DC 8100 sff It automaticaly disabled onboard graphic, altough it was low consumption Radeon HD 7750 Low Profile card, and there was no any problem.
Regards.

Hi:
Graphics adapters cannot be upgraded simply.
You would need to replace the motherboard with one that would have better graphics (if one exists for your model).
This would cost as much as buying a new notebook, so it is probably not a good idea to undertake such an endeavor.

What upgrade graphic card do i need for a early 2008 mac pro

I have a early 2008 Mac Pro. ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 MB is what i have now. What is a good upgrade graphic card to get.

The GTX 780 6GB runs fine on the dual PCIe internal power cables -- as does the GTX 680 and Radeon HD 7950. The same can't be said of the GTX TITAN or GTX 780 Ti or Radeon R9 280X -- all of which require an auxiliary power feed to avoid a nasty power down of your tower at the worst moment when too much wattage is demanded of the Mac Pro's factory power supply.
Did I mention that the GTX 780 with 6GB of GDDR5 matches the 6GB of GDDR5 in the TITAN?
The one fallacy to my 'sweet spot' award has to do with OpenCL. In case you hadn't noticed, the AMD Radeon GPUs smoked the NVIDIA GeForce GPUs running Photoshop's OpenCL accelerated Iris Blur filter and rendering LuxMark's OpenCL accelerated Room scene.

So depends on budget, whether you want a PC card for less but no "early EFI boot screen" prior to drivers loading, and what apps and needs you have.
The one thing for sure is that 2600XT should have been retired ages ago and even more so with 10.8.3 and above, it could be trouble or just... PITA/POS.

Maybe:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

Then try restoring on another computer.
Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
