APPLE 23'' CINEMA DISPLAY AND VIDEO CARD

My new Mac Pro (2.66 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xenon-8GB RAM) has a NVIDIA GeForce GT 120. I am thinking to upgrade it to either the ATI Radeon HD 4870, or the just coming out NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285 (manufactured by EVGA).
Any information for the two products, comparison charts, charachteristics etc will be very helpful and wellcomed.

Try the WinACD drivers from http://sourceforge.net/projects/winacd/

  • APPLE 30" Cinema Display and ATI Graphics Card compatability

    hi all
    I have a 2year old APPLE Dual proc G5 PowerMac 2.0mhz (1.5GB Ram) with an ATI graphics Card which is a ATI Radeon 9600XT 128mb ram.
    This currently works well dipslaying via a Apple cinema 23" screen. However i would like to upgrade the screen with an Apple 30" display now. Will the current ATI Graphics card support a 30"display or will i need to replace the card on buying a new monitor..
    i was looking at potentially a new ATI X1900Xt card.
    any experiences and help please ...
    Thanks Paul

    Your existing card will not run the 30" at full resolution. The ATI X1900 XT won't fit because it is not AGP.
    The fastest AGP card for your G5 is the ATI Radeon X800 Mac edition
    <http://eshop.macsales.com/item/ATI%20Technologies/100435317/>
    It has one DVI dual-link port that will run the 30" display, and one ADC port.

  • Apple 23 cinema display and G5 computer

    Hi,
    I've just purchased a G5 computer and own an old 23' Apple cinema display. Unfortunately, my ACD DVI cable isn't compatible with the G5 DVI port. Since I am living abroad and will sooner come to the States. Does it exist a specific cable at apple store (or any retail store) to convert the ACD cable to make it work with my G5.
    Thanx for helping out!

    If it is the old 23" display (plastic case) with ADC cable, no power supply, and the computer only has DVI ports, you need a DVI to ADC adapter

  • Apple 23" Cinema display and internal macbook speakers

    With a 23" cinema display hooked up to my macbook and the macbook's lid closed can i use the internal speakers?
    ps. i have a mighty mouse and wireless keyboard so i can close the lid.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions, iLove 
    Yes, the internal speakers will work with the lid down. They won't sound very good.
    Once the external screen is active as the sole screen, you can raise the lid on the MacBook and the internal screen will stay off.

  • Question about the new 27" LED Cinema Display and text size

    Hi, I own the 24" Apple LED Cinema Display and text on the monitor is just large enough for me. Won't text on the new 27" Display be much smaller with its higher resolution?

    MANY thanks for the tip.
    Now then - all indications are that my Mini will NOT pass audio via the MDP Cable given the age as well as the lack of an HDMI port (I know there isn't one this rig).  Unless I am missing something I don't believe there is any adapter out there that will allow the audio to now pass through the MDP Cable if the rig itself was never configured to do so.
    Following links in your posting, someone recommended this: 
    http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=104&cp_id=10428&cs_id=1042802 &p_id=6331&seq=1&format=2#description
    However it seems to be set up to deliver A/V to an HDMI display, and unless I am mistaken, the 27" LED ACD does not have an HDMI in.  Although my MacMini does have a S/PDIF Optical Digital Audio Output I don't believe the 27" LED ACD has any kind of separate audio input (either TOS Link or even 1/8 smini stereo).
    So I reckon I am SOL with regard to getting the audio onto the new monitor from the Mini and I would need to keep my present speakers set up using the 18/" mini stereo out - but the video should still work......yes?  

  • Mini DisplayPort adapter for 23" Apple HD Cinema Display?

    hello all,
    I'm sure this has been asked and answered here, but I can't find it! (grrr...)
    I've got an 23" Apple HD Cinema display and a new iMac. The iMac has a "mini DisplayPort". Now, the Cinema Display has a 3 x 10-pin (not 3 x 8) DVI connector. The WIKI thing about DVI calls it a "DVI M1-DA (Dual link + USB)".
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DigitalVisualInterface
    For the life of me, I can't find an Apple (or other) adapter with the 10-pin connector to attach to the iMac?
    many thanks,
    b myers

    If it's the old, plastic cased, 23" display, it may use ADC (Apple Display Connector).
    <http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/09/AppleDisplayConnector.jpg>
    In that case, you will need a DVI to ADC adapter

  • Apple 23" Cinema Display - lines around windows

    Look, you can build an HD DVD with an SD movie, just as you can build an SD DVD with an HD movie. This is not a bug, it is most likely user error. Apple will not be addressing it.
    Just start over, and ensure you are building an SD DVD by bringing up the inspector for the disc (click on the background in the Graphical tab).
    Make sure SD DVD is selected:
    (If you do the same thing on your ill fated project, you'll see that HD DVD is selected)
    Build your DVD and you'll be fine.
    Patrick
    P.S. You will need to google HD DVD and Blu-Ray if you want to understand the difference between the formats. The reason that DVDSP included HD DVD was that its format was similar to SD DVD's. Blu-Ray is something else entirely.

  • Help!  Strange Problem with 23" Apple Cinema Display and Wireless Internet

    For some reason, Safari runs much much slower on my housemates new 23" Apple Cinema Display than just on his new Macbook. He is running Tiger. We use Airport Extreme for house-wide wireless, and he has an Airport Express to connect to his printer. Here is what he wrote:
    "Last night, I was watching videos on ABC.com --- not a problem to watch on my laptop screen (new Macbook) - very fast. Then, after dinner, I plugged in my external screen (Apple Cinema Display), and it was so slow and wouldn't load. I unplugged the screen, and it was lighting fast again, so I watched the videos on my laptop screen. This morning, I was plugged into the external monitor and the Internet was slow to check my email. I unplugged the screen, and it's lightning fast now on my laptop screen.
    Does this make any sense??? Why would my external monitor affect the Internet speed? "

    I am having a similar problem as well. When I attach my 23" cinema display to my MacBook core 2 duo, my connection to the internet immediately stops working. I have tested this several times and it happens every time I connect the Cinema Display to my MacBook. When I disconnect the Cinema Display, my internet connection works perfectly again. I'm stumped as to why this happens.
    I have tried several different searches on the forums, but have found no other threads besides this one. I'm I won't have to suck it up and pay the $50 for the call to AppleCare support.

  • Under Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and Boot Camp, my 27 inch Apple LED Cinema Display checks out as a Generic PnP Monitor and is shown as NOT HDCP compliant.  I haven't been able to find any kind of an .inf file to use.  Does anyone have a solution?

    I am having this same issue. Im not sure if this is the cause but I think this is keeping PowerDVD Ultra 11 from playing back Bluray under Windows 7 / Bootcamp

  • VMware Fusion and Apple LED Cinema Display

    I have a 2008 MBP and a 27" Apple LED Cinema Display. My OS is 10.7.2.
    I am running Windows 7 with the latest updates in VMWare Fusion 4.1.1. I have several issues.
    1) When I go to chose my monitor it say Apple LED Cinema Display but "Generic Non-PnP Monitor." I downloaded and installed the boot camp drivers as I understood those contained the drivers for the monitor, but that didn't seem to help. Do I need to have the Boot Camp drivers?
    2) When I try to access the Boot Camp Control panel in Windows 7 in Fusion I get "An error occured while tyring to access the startup disk settings. You may not have privileges to change the startup disk." My guess is this is because the Boot Camp drivers are only needed if you actualy run Boot Camp.
    3) In Windows I cannot choose the native resolution of the Apple display (2560 x 1440).
    4) The resolution ia 1277 x 1234. That is weird.
    5) If I minimze the Fusion window and then immediately open it, it looks fine. But if I wait for awhile and open it, the window will be black until I click inside of it.
    Something is wrong, Any help in fixing this would be greatly appreciated.
    Bryan

    you have to separate out what is Fusion and what is Windows native.
    Even doing updates to Windows sometimes should not or cannot be done properly in VM.
    And there is no way to change the default boot drive - a VM doesn't have access and that is the host OS's job, not the guest's.
    Install the latest AMD driver for mobility - and dont' use the "auto detect" - that is not going to work on Apple hardware.
    You dont' run Boot Camp. But the Apple drivers and serives needed for hardware support, yes, they aren't running or loaded.

  • Apple Aluminum Keyboard and 23" cinema Display and MacBook Pro??

    Hello there

    i have an Apple mighty mouse that works fine wen connected to the USB port on the display...
    why is it not working...

    have you tried a different USB port on the ACD? Maybe the one you used was defective? I run a 7-port bus off one of the USB ports for all my hardware. OTOH, I do use bluetooth mouse and keyboard!

  • Difference between a Apple LED Cinema Display (27" flat panel) and a Apple Thunderbolt Display (27-inch)?

    May i know the difference between a Apple LED Cinema Display (27" flat panel) and a Apple Thunderbolt Display (27-inch)? both products look the same to me, even the prices are the same, but the name of the product is different. Its so confusing! I want to purchase a secondary display for my 21" iMac, but idk the difference between the two.
    furthermore, another question i have is, is 27" the largest display i can get? is there larger ones (just the screen, not the computer)?
    please help, thanks!

    One has thunderbolt capabilities, the other doesn't.

    No you can get a larger one.  Maybe not an Apple one, but certainly another brand.

  • Original 22" Cinema Display and G5 Dual-Core Machine

    Good Morning, All!
    Is there a special adapter or converter I need to run my old 22" Cinema Display on my G5? I had to go back to the Dr. Bot I had when I had the monitor on a G4 450. With the arrival of the G4 933, I was happily able to do away with the Dr. Bot "octopus" and take full advantage of all the display on-board stuff (power switch, USB ports, etc.) However, the new dual-core has forced me back to that friggin' Dr. Bot, even though the G5 books says it's ready for ALL Cinema displays. Well, obviously not mine.
    A part number and a place to purchase would be most appreciated!!! I got spoiled to the power switch on the monitor. It was really rather dumb for Apple to put a metal start-up button on the front panel of the G5. With the air as dry as it is right now, the static is horrible and I don't like giving the machine a jolt when I started up in the morning. I find myself having to ground to something before I ever touch the machine these days.

    Hi,
    Well I have just bought a Quad G5 that I was gonna
    use with my old DVI equipped 22in Cinema Display and
    now discover that the connector on the display has
    more pins than the connector on the video card. How
    am I supposed to get around that?!
    Are you sure the display is DVI (screw knobs), and not ADC (clips)?
    If it is DVI and has six round pins (2 X 3) in the middle that are not on the video card connector, the extra pins are for dual link, which is only used on the 30" display. Depending on which video card you have, one or both connectors may be dual link, but you don't need the extra pins for the 22" display.
