Any luck with graphics cards on the advanced dock?

Looking for some advice on which graphics card to purchase for use with the Lenovo advanced dock. I've tried - unsuccessfully - to use the ATI Radeon HD 3650 from VisionTek. The dimensions were right and the card fits, but I'm having no luck getting it to work.
Has anyone gotten this or another ATI graphics card to work with the advanced dock? There is very little documentation on this. Do I have to downgrade the graphics card to the X1300? The HD 3650 has a better spec, incl 512Mb vs 256Mb on the X1300.
Any help is greatly appreciated!!!
-Roel.

I have a T61p with the FX570 internal card, 4Gb RAM, 80Gb HDD, running Windows Vista 64 bit Ultimate edition.  Since Vista (64) will only support one video driver, I had to remove the X1300 that I had in the dock for XP Pro (32).  So I bought the FX570 (PNY VCQFX570-PCIE-PB 256M RT ) from NewEgg and dropped it in.  In Vista, I had to delete the internal card from Device Manager and reinstall the Driver Suite from Nvidia.  The Suite picked up both cards and I chose to use the Dock as primary.  I did not have to change ANY BIOS settings, I left those alone.  I used the card's CD to load the drivers, NOT Lenovo's.  I do not use the NVidia Control Panel to change any settings, just Vista's Adapter Properties.  Both monitors are running at full res (1920x1200 @ 32bit), both are DVI connected and both are 24" Dell's.
* I ran the exact same setup in Windows XP, with the execption of FX570, with no issue at all.*
* When you install the card in the dock, you will need to "tweak" it in the slot to move the fan away from the underside of the dock.  If you don't the on-board fan will contact the dock and make a heck of a racket!*

  • Any luck with audio playback on the iPad?

    A general question to everyone using the HTML5 converter.
    I have yet to find the magic combination for consistent audio playback on the iPad. Sometimes it plays, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes the audio will play on a slide, then after refreshing the page it doesn't play, even if I sit and wait for it.... Please trust that I've clicked the audio button to download it. & I've  compressed the crap out of the audio,  not to mention I've tested this with a short presentation and a larger presentation, object audio vs slide audio... Results are the same. The audio is fully converting, as it plays on my desktop via Safari.
    Is anyone else experiencing similar audio issues?

    I don't have any answers for the inconsistency of audio playback, but I am going to have someone much more versed in java take a look at it and maybe provide some insight. Really, I have no idea.
    If your getting consistent audio playback the second time through, great. I wish that was happening for me. I am getting about half of my 19 slides to play audio, and never the first or second slide.
    I was having the audio repeat on each slide, but I was able to control it somewhat by manipulating the code. One way is to make sure your timeline in each slide of your Captivate file ends when the audio ends, and any object that is pausing the slide pauses within the audio timeline...... but what I found was happening is that the "pause" for each click box I have on each slide that keeps the module from automatically advancing to the next had a frame reference that was outside the frame area of the audio file....in the converted code.
    if you get to the part in the html code of the converted file where it lists each slide and it's objects, check the frame reference for the audio against any object that pauses the slide....(below in bold):
    in my example, the audio plays from frame 1 to 356, and then the click box pauses at 355, before I edited it, it was pausing at 359 (1 frame before the end of slide 1), causing the audio to start playing again.
    Everyone's project is different, but this worked for me, and I hope it gives you some direction.

  • Any luck with a 3.1.3 fix? Aside from the one(s) that have yet to work

    Any luck with 3.1.3 anyone? I am captive to a wi-fi connection and its getting really annoying not being able to use the 3g service when I leave my house. The solution(s) provided so far have done nothing to fix the problem. This is in regards to apps crashing and no internet service while on the iphone 3g network.

    I have tried all the fixes suggested multiple times then went to apple store and the guy told me I should buy a new phone? Just hoping the issue isn't dead as it still seems to be a problem for some, lots of threads about it still being reported as an issue.

  • IMac with graphical card problems

    HiRegards to all.
    My problem is the following one.
    I had problems in my iMac, like flickering, ghosting, but the more serious thing that was remaining hung and on the screen there were appearing stripes of colors, duplicated images, in short an iMac of which they went out with the fault in the motherboard of factory . I received it one week ago and now after two attempts to execute the return of the product they say to me (after saying to me that today it would have my iMac made) that it will be ended on September 8, thing that will lengthen my order in one month.
    Apple charged me the iMac one month ago, and it turns out that I am going to be two months (if there is luck) without iMac, now I do not have computer in spite of wich works what leads me to losing money since all this hanging work cannot continue forward. The most graceful thing is that since they charged it from me only they were late 3 days in making it, more three weeks in the sending. But in the service post sale now they say to me that the return has priority to the manufactures as buy. If that is more time I do not see that has priority on the buys.
    In short I am very disappointed with apple after so many years adoring these perfect machines I have met plunged in the disappointment. If they me cannot solve this this week I will proceed the case before service to the consumer of my country to do the pertinent thing. I leave this message because I need to be advised before this problem, of which I do not have fault, but I am the maxium harmed.
    Regards

    If you have ordered an iMac with the 256Mb graphics card then there is going to be a delay. Everyone who is ordering that model is having to wait. I don't know why but can only guess that they either have a shortage of the graphic card from the supplier or they have more orders than they thought they would. I feel certain that Apple would rather be able to build them quicker also, but sometimes things happen that are beyond our control.
    At least they were good enough to replace your defective unit. That is something to be thankful for. I really am sorry you have to wait. Maybe the new one will work perfectly though and you won't have any more problems.
    By the way I used to live in Barcelona many many years ago. I love the city and the people there and some day I am going to go back and visit. Barcelona is a great place!

  • Graphics card for the H500s 8GB Ram desktop.

    Hello!
    I have never done this before, so excuse me if I seem a bit newb-ish.
    I'm looking to get a graphics card for the h500s desktop, which already has Intel HD 4000 integrated graphics, as shown here. I have the Intel Pentium J2900 CPU and a Lenovo motherboard. I opened up the PC today and it has one PCIe slot available for the graphics card. I know that on that datasheet it says that there is an 'up to' when it comes to graphics cards, but I want to know if these cards are compatible and will work without changing any power adapter.

  • What Graphics card is the best choice?

    Still Aperture stalls and sputters. Its not a smooth experience.
    Currently I rather D-tour through Canon Photo Professional to convert my RAW's to JPEG's and organize them in iPhoto than put them in Aperture (2.1.2) in a managed library.
    Will a new Graphics card make the difference?
    Currently I am using the stock NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT with 256MB ram.
    And its just no fun.
    Any advice is greatly appreciated!

    I don't get it why there is so little to be found about the importance of a good graphics card for Aperture.
    Meantime I have read good things about the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT witch is the official Apple recommended product.
    For now I will wait with the purchase of a new Graphics card and wait a few more weeks to see what Apple will announce at Macworld. Since I really like the new 24" cinema display that's currently only compatible with the Unibody Macbook and MB Pro's. I hope that Apple will finally renew their line of display's. And if they are going push the mini display port I will also expect new graphic cards...
    Oh boy' this makes me think about my investment in Firewire compatible accessories...

  • Problems with graphics card running windows on bootcamp..

    I currently have Windows Vista 32 bit installed on my mac with bootcamp. The reason I have it installed is I want to run an MMO RPG (DDO) on my mac and it is only supported on windows.
    However it will not allow me to play it as it says that no graphics device could be located (Game error 122 for those that play it)
    My question is how I utilise the graphics card from the mac onto windows, as the VGA adaptor doesn't seem to be sufficient??
    Either that or does anyone know of a way I can play DDO through MAC OS??
    Any help much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Just tried what you recommended, but still to no avail..
    What's confusing me is the following;
    1)When checking system performance it tells me that my graphics are as follows
    Graphics - Desktop performance for Windows Aero
    Gaming Graphics - 3D Buisness and Gaming graphics performance.
    2)http://svc.systemrequirementslab.com explains that I cannot run the game due to my graphics being inferior (I highly doubt this).
    Minimum: 64 MB video card with Hardware T&L
    (NVIDIA GeForce 2+ / ATI Radeon VE+)
    You Have: Standard VGA Graphics Adapter
    3)Just as the game is about to boot up it gives me the following message;
    [Game Error 122] No suitable graphics device was found. Are you running through a rmeote session or a VM? If not, please check your video hardware capabilities.
    I'm literally 30seconds away from throwing this macbook out the window, please can anyone help?!
    Thanks x

  • K410 trouble with Graphics Card

    I cecently purchased a PowerColor Radeo HD 7850 2gb graphics card and cannot get it to work with my system.  
    I have a lenovo K410 I will get more details as to my spesific configuration when I get home from work.  
    I purchased a power adapter to get power to the card but I am getting no output.  The integrated intel hd graphics turn off as they're suposed to when I have the card attached, but while the fan on the new card spins I am getting no output.  Is the card incompatible with my system?  Do I need to upgrade my power supply? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
    Also if this card won't work with my system can anyone reccomend a 2gig card that will work with it.  I can find lenovo part numbers on reccomended graphics cards in the manual, but I can't seem to find a way to corispond the lenovo part number to any real world part that I can purhcase.
    Thanks for your help!!

    The solution was to set the following in the BIOS:

    Boot Mode = Legacy (if applicable)
    Boot Priority = Legacy First (if applicable)

  • Graphics card in the MacBook

    I'm about to buy the black Macbook, but I'm afraid that the Intel GMA 950 graphics processor is not good enough for the apps like iPhoto and iMovie.
    Will I have to buy a MacBook Pro to run these apps satisfying or is the graphics card in the MacBook enough?

    The entire iLife suite will run beautifully on the MacBooks with the GMA950 chipset. It is only when you attempt to play some higher end games that the chipset falls short.

    Nope, no X3F support yet.
    You can still use the program pretty well just by exporting 16-bit TIFF files from PhtooPro, just export in batch with corrections set to auto.

  • 2 differents graphic cards at the same time for Mercury engine

    Hi !
    I'm working on 4K footage (R3D) with CS6 Premiere and Blackmagic Resolve, on a 6-cores i7-3930K (without integrated graphic card inside the CPU).
    I decided to buy 2 graphic card, because Resolve "need" one simple graphic card for the software interface (GT610 1Gb with 48 CUDA cores),
    and one strongest for the calculation (GTX680 4Gb with 1536 CUDA cores).
    So I'd like to know if Premiere is like Resolve and if it will use the dumb card for the software, and the second for the CUDA engine inside MPE ?
    Or will it use the 2 cards at the same time, like 48 + 1536 = 1584 CUDA cores ?
    Or will it use only one of those 2 card ? And in this case, how can I chose the right one ?
    (modify a configuration file, or put the strongest card in the first PCI slot in exemple ?)
    Thanks for your help.  ; )

    Thank you John !
    Ok, I read those thread... so, to summarize (and to be sure I understood everything) :
    1) Premiere don't work with 2 GPU at the same time (no SLI / no 2x graphic card "alone").
    2) I need to install the strongest graphic card (used in MPE) in slot 1, and the second graphic card (connected to my DVI displays) in slot 2.
    3) I have to be really careful with drivers (but it's the same manufacturer, EVGA, and the same line, GT and GTX, so I don't think there will be problems)
    and if I have problems, just need to desactivate the CUDA processing (in the drivers panel) of the card just used for the displays.
    Can you just confirm me I'm right ?
    (And, about Resolve, I saw the same slot configuration on the manual, so I hope everything will work :  )
