Agp card choices with 2 dvi connections ?

I've been doing research and confused by the different variants of the ati 9800 series and was preferring the 9600 series without the fan.
Anyways, for a MDD what agp card has 2 dvi connections?

Hi SamsonSimon;
Here are the specs on the ATI Radeon card;
ATI Radeon HD 4870 includes two video ports: one Mini DisplayPort and one dual-link DVI port. This allows you to connect both the 24-inch Apple LED Cinema Display or another Mini DisplayPort-based display, and a DVI-based display such as the 30-inch Apple Cinema HD Display. Display adapters are available to connect VGA displays.
Since it says it has two ports, one Mini DisplayPort and one dual-link DVI port, it would seem you are going to need an adapter for the second LCD screen.

Can a PC ATI X1600 XT AGP card work with my MDD..

Can a PC ATI X1600 XT AGP card work with my MDD?

I have a friend that made the mistake of buying a (new) non-Mac edition ATI card. Not the card you've specified, this was a few years ago, but everything worked for him, with OSX. His biggest issue was the loss of the ADC connection on the card, getting DVI connectors only instead. That means a trip to Apple to get an ADC-DVI converter, mine was about £100 for my second display. My friend payed slightly less. At the end of the day, it would have been cheaper for him to pay the £30 extra for the Mac edition.

Does 8x AGP card compatible with 4x mainboard?

Hi,
I have a MSI 845PE Max 4x AGP mainboard and a Xelo G4 Ti4200 128MB DDR 8X card. Can the system run without giving problem when playing newer game. Does the mobo have enough power to handle 8X AGP card for playing game. My system hang whenever I player newer games.

It allows the Vidio card to use more of the Main (System) Memory if the Onboard Vidio Card Memory becomes loaded from storing future frame information From a game that you have in play..If you have 128 MB of Vidio Card Memory the chances of having to go to the Main memory are slim, but as the next generation Games start hitting the Stores even 128 will not be enough, thats why the top Cards have 256 MB of onboard Vidio RAM...But by upping the AGP aperture, you are not losing any of your ram (It's not being shared like with onboard Graphics Chip). ......Sean REILLY875

IPC1100 Problems with HDMI-DVI Connection

I installed Quantum TV today and everything worked fine except for my older TV in the basement. I use an HDMI to DVI cable to the TV. The IPC1100 will only allow the 480p setting even though the TV is 720p. The previous CISCO box allowed me to set the resolution to 720p using the same set-up. Anyone else having this problem? Any ideas? Thanks.

the problem is that your b&o's dvi port don't support hdcp which is the digital copy protection widely used today
maybe b&o have some update you can apply to make it support hdcp otherwise you will never
be able to use your atv for drm material like netflix, itunes movies and the likes only free material

Xserve AGP card

Hi,
I recently purchased a 2nd hand Xserve (one of the original 1GHz single processor models).
It came with the standard PCI graphics card in the dual PCI riser and a PCI Ethernet card in the single PCI/AGP riser.
I want to remove the Ethernet card and put an AGP Graphics card in (need the DVI connection as it will be connected to a 20" Aluminium Cinema Display).
I realise I need to buy an AGP riser and swap out the PCI riser (they appear to cost about USD $10 so this is acceptable).
I have on hand 2 AGP cards that I could put into the Xserve - one is a Nvidia Geforce4 MX 32MB from a Dual Processor 867MHz MDD - the other is an ATI 9000 PRO 64MB (from my Dual Processor 1.25GHz MDD (FW800) that I replaced with a modified ATI Radeon 9600XT 128MB).
Will either the Nvidia or ATI 9000 work succesfully in the Xserve?
Everywhere that I have looked mentions the ATI Radeon 8500 as the card that Apple provided as CTO for the Xserves but these are hard to find in Australia and I would prefer to use a card I already have on hand. I would probably prefer to use the ATI 9000 Pro if this is at all possible.
I will be installing the client version of OSX 10.4 (10.4.6).
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Xserve original 1GHz single processor Mac OS X (10.4.6)

VGA vs. DVI connection on G5

I just got an LCD monitor for a G5 I'm getting tomorrow. The monitor has both VGA and DVI inputs and the G5 is coming with a DVI-VGA adaptor. The monitor comes with a VGA cable. So I ask stupidly (as I've always used the built-in crt monitor on Emacs) will an LCD monitor work noticeably better with a DVI connection versus a VGA connection, or is there possibly no difference? And if there is a differecne, what is it?

Hi
IMHO it would be a shame to have a computer and monitor with a DVI connection and not make use of it. It should be DVI-D (digital) or DVI-I (digital/analogue), rather than just DVI-A (analogue). With digital DVI, each pixel you see on the monitor is an exact representation of the corresponding pixel in the frame buffer on the graphics card. In other words, the image you're seeing on the monitor is exactly as it was rendered and intended to be seen. With VGA (or DVI-A) the signal is analogue and under goes a conversion which can introduce artifacts etc. Whether you'll personally notice the difference I'm not sure, as I expect an LCD with an analogue signal will still be a considerable improvement over the eMacs CRT.

Sawtooth AGP Card upgrade questions . . .

Just acquired a 400mhz sawtooth.
I want to know what agp cards work with this.
I have access to quicksilver and mdd agp cards and prefer to use one of those.
Just looking at the options.
Thanks.

Hi-
Use the Radeon 9000 Pro and have a solid DVI card in the Sawtooth.
The 9000 Pro is a good option for the Sawtooth and those who want 1920x1200 digital resolution.
I previously used one in my Sawtooth.
No issues.

AGP cards not working

Hi.. and hope someone can help me with this.
I’ve read about a lot of info about problems with AGP ports on MSI boards but still cannot get a clue about my particular problem.
My specs:
AMD XP 2.400
MBO:MSI KT4V (MS-6712 ver 10A)
RAM: 256MB
Case: 400W
OS: Win2K SP3
My problem: Cannot use video cards in the AGP port. System still can boot and go into safe mode, but in normal mode Windows can barely make it after the logon screen. The system suddenly goes to a kind of standby mode (power button does not work), all energy activity seems to stop (fans too), and I have to unplug and plug the energy cord to be able boot again.
My tries:
1) Using a PCI video cards has no problem. Works perfect.
2) I’ve used 2 different AGP cards, booth with exactly the same problem: PCChips ATI 9200LE 8x and Nvidia MX440 8x. Suppose I can asume the cards are not the problem. They are new ones.
3) Used MSI Live Update 3 to update BIOS. It was succesfully updated, but problem remains.
4) Used MSI Live Update 3 to update Board drivers (even the AGP one). It was succesfully updated, but problem remains.
5) Modify some BIOS parameters like Fastwrite to Disable, AGP voltage to 1.7, but problem remains.
Thanks on any advice.

You mean I suppose not the voltage, but the ampères? And sorry, been at birthday party so I couldn't give immediate respons. The troubleshooting guide suggests these:
3.3V - 28A or better
5V - 30A or better
12V - 18A or better
And perhaps you can learn from this nice guide, below. Good luck!
"don't worry about agp 8x - i does not offer any significant speed increase. what you are describing seems to me to be related to the ati video card (that's what is experiencing the vpu error). steps 4 through 7 below might be all you need to do. give it a try.
start with flashing the latest mobo bios before you start if you haven't allready. I recommend stick with the 3.7 Cat driver (many people are reporting worse problems with the later rev Cat drivers) and follow these directions:
1) download and install the latest via driver (i know, you have it)
2) download and install latest soundblaster driver (if you are using a soundblaster audio card of course)
3) download and install catalyst 3.7 driver/control panel/samartgart from ati.
4) disable fast-write in bios (this was causing corrupted icons and cursor in windoze).
5) start-run and type in smartgart then enter
6) enable - pci read/write and agp read (probably allready is enabled).
7) disable - agp write (default in my case was on causing lots of stability problems in games).
"apply", reboot, then "ok".

Nvidia 7300GT card compatible with Apple's DVI to VGA Adaptor?

To rephrase, is the Mac Pro's stock Nvidia 7300 GT card able to support the Apple DVI to VGA connector which would allow me to connect a Viewsonics CRT? And will that card also allow me to connect a second CRT for dual monitors?
A temporary setup for a few months until I buy new Apple Displays...
Many thanks,
John

The card used with the adapter allows use of standard VGA monitors. There is always the chance that it won't, due to some irregularity, but I doubt it. Many have posted using VGA monitors and having no issues. Apple issues the adapter for your type of scenario.

Nview with IGP and AGP-Card?

Hello!
I have a K7N2G-ILSR and I would like to use the Integrated Graphics together with an AGP-Card.
Is that possible?
I found nothing in my BIOS to reactivate the IGP after installing the AGP-Card. But it would be such nice to use nview just with IGP and a simple AGP-Card.
Tnx, Qnt

You can't use the onboard AGP along with an add-on AGP card. Only one card can ride the AGP bus at a time. WHat you'll need is either a PCI card to use with the onboard AGP, or an add-on AGP card that will do twin output. Many will using the VGA port and the DVI port (with an adapter of course).

No Boot with AGP Card in Slot - 865 PE Neo2

I have tried absolutely everything.
My system will not power up when I have an AGP card in the AGP Slot. I have tried 3 different AGP 8x video cards. All with the same result -- the system fails to power up at all.
When I take the card out of the AGP slot and just power up -- everything seems to go smoothly. (not that I would know since i can't see anything) However, atleast it powers up.
This Mobo doesn't have built in video.
And I've never had one successful "power up" with a card in the AGP slot.
Any suggestions or help?
I'd greatly appreciate it.
Justin

Hmmm...I've posted my own message but...after reading this...I'm having the EXACT same problem. I cannot get the system to boot with any VGA card installed. If I take the card out, it boots but beeps 8 times when it gets to the video card part of the boot phase. Then it stops at some later phase (I believe the keyboard section). System specs are as follows...
Intel P4 Northwood 1.8Ghz
Gainward Powerpack Ultra 760TV/DVI (GeforceFX 5600 8X AGP)
765PE Neo2 (like this guy above) MB
PSU is a "DURO 400W Max"
I don't know how to obtain other information you have asked for, such as "combined wattage". I can give you the amp ratings for the various voltages listed on the PSU...
+3.3V 28A
+5V 30A
+12V 11A
-5V .5A
-12V .8A
+5VSB 3A
This was in a generic case we just got becuase the PSU was bad in the old one and my roommate seemed to think the button on the front of the old case could have been causing me trouble (?). Now if you are going to tell me the PSU is junk then you need to do a few things. First explain why. Tell me how to obtain the "combined watts" information and how knowing it is useful, and what it needs to be to support a system like this. Give your recommendations on reasonably priced PSUs that would provide enough power to run this system.
If a PSU can have so much to do with preventing a system from starting, why don't MOBO and VGA Card makers list more specific requirements for PSUs than "System needs at least a 300W PSU"?
I've been having problems getting a system running for months now, every since my original system shutdown one day and never started again. Since then I've been through MOBOs 2 CPUs and 2 PSUs. This is the closest I've gotten, with the system starting but the bracket lights freezing at Video Card Initalizing.

Boot Issue with New Radeon X800 XL on DVI connection

I've just bought a connect 3d radeon x800 xl and installed it in my machine. I had a radeon 9700 pro die on me 2 weeks ago and I'd reverted back to a Gainward ti4200 in the meantime - both of which I had running on exactly the same specs, the latter through the dvi connection.
However, when I turn the machine on the machine starts to go through it's POST routine and then it somehow 'loses' the display, before it finishes searching through the sata raid arrays and before I can get into the bios setup pages.
Strangely enough, the POST routine runs fine if it's connected to the bog standard vga connection.
I did think it might be the power supply considering all the other posts on the forum and although it's not the best brand in the world, it still delivers 20 amps at 12v. Anyone any ideas on how to resolve this?
Thanks in advance
Specs:
MSI K8T NEO FIS2R (bios v1.9)
s754 Athlon 3000+
2 x 512mb DDR400 major branded memory (samsung I think)
Western Digital 200gb SATA hard drive
MSI Combo DVD/CD-Writer
CWT 450w PSU (12v: 20a, 5v: 20a, 3.3v: 28a)

The DVI-I port on the 5770 and other advanced cards like it has the VGA signals directly accessible with a very simple adapter. The blade at the end of the connector and the four pins around it, plus Horizontal Sync from the top row of the grid are EXACTLY VGA, no translation required.
Converting Mini DisplayPort to VGA is one of the most complex conversions possible, and if you are having trouble with that conversion, and pushing the resolution up, I am not at all surprised.
If your DVI display is not wider that 1920 wide, I suggest you use it on a Mini DisplayPort, with a simple adapter that forces the Mini DisplayPort into "Single-Link DVI compatibility mode". As long as you do not plan to run Three displays, this solution will work with an inexpensive adapter.

Hello, I am interested in buying this week of a mac mini 2011 with intel graphics HD3000 but I'm not sure it looks good with my Samsung SyncMaster933HD monitor. How would it look better with the hdmi-dvi connection or a built-in display adapter port-vga

Hello, I am interested in buying this week of a mac mini 2011 withintel graphics HD3000 but I'm not sure it looks good with my Samsung SyncMaster 933HD monitor. How would it look better.... with the hdmi-dvi connection built in, buying a HDMI 1.3 cable and HDMI-making or buying an adapter hdmi display port - vga and connected through the port thunderbolt

I originally set up my mini with the included HDMI -> DVI adaptor to connect to a Sycmaster monitor. The graphics were very good.

What is the correct adapter to connect my Macbook pro with mini-dvi to my TV with Scart

I have a MacBook Pro with mini-DVI and I want to connect it to my TV which has only a scart thing.
Can I use the mini-DVI to Video-Adapter and then a Video to Scart-Adapter?
Thanks for your help!

So of course you've corrected the title : "What is the right PLUG to connect my macbook pro to my TV ?"
OK so a bit more info : my TV is a Sony Trinitron TV.
It has the yellow/red/white plugs. I don't believe it has anything more sophisticated or recent than that.
Thanks for your help !
