Asus geforce 3

Just wanting to know if i will have any problems installing solaris 8 with a geforce 3 card.
thanks

Probably, because that card isn't support by solaris, AFAIK.
You should try to install in text mode (bypass (!) the configuration of
the video card/keyboard/mouse).
Once solaris is installed, try to install the Solaris XFree86 video
drivers
http://soldc.sun.com/developer/support/driver/tools/video/video-index.html
(at least the generic VESA driver should work).
Or install the whole XFree86 package.

  • ASUS GEFORCE GT640 not working with the latest M92p 2992-B3G BIOS

    I've got a ThinkCentre M92p (2992B3G) that I bought over 6 months ago.
    It's a pretty standard setup, and I haven't done anything to the hardware except upgrading it to 8GB of memory and adding a new SSD for my system drive. In addition I purchased an ASUS NVIDIA GT640 PCI-e video card as the default video card doesn't put out much performance for even the most casual of gamers. I'm running on Windows 8.1, with all updates installed. I've always been very tidy, so I've kept myself up-to-date with all the latest Windows Updates, and updates from the Lenovo System Update tool.
    This setup worked great for several months, until one dreadful night where a new BIOS was presented by Lenovo System Update. I can't for the life of me remember the exact version number of that BIOS, but I do know it was released a week or two before the 14th February 2012. The change logs for Lenovo's BIOS updates doesn't include a release date, but I g
    Either way; I download the BIOS update for Lenovo's websites, burned myself the ISO-image version, and went ahead with the flash as I've done many times before, even on this computer.
    This is were my issues began; after the BIOS update I cannot for the life of me get any PCI-e video cards to work. Once the computer booted back up, the display was simply blank; not even a POST-message, and much less any display from the operating system itself.
    With the PCI-e video card installed I can't the BIOS settings either. Therefore I have to remove the video card, make the necessary BIOS setting changes, and insert the video card again before booting.
    Bottom line; my GEFORCE GT640 worked fine until the BIOS update, after which it doesn't work anymore.
    Here's a few things I've tried so far;
    I've tried both my GEFORCE GT640 and my RADEON HD640. No luck with either.
    I've tried my GEFORCE GT640 in another rig. Runs just fine, so the video card isn't faulty.
    I've tried my RADEON HD7750 in another rig. Runs just fine, so the video card isn't faulty.
    I've tried four different monitors (two from BENQ, one from ASUS and one from DELL). It's not a monitor issue.
    I've tried different video card settings in the BIOS (AUTO, PEG etc). No luck.
    It's not a driver issue. I've tried booting both Windows 7 and Windows 8, and in both cases I've tried it with a variety of drivers installed (and not installed). Tried drivers both from Lenovo and NVIDIA's official driver packages. It's not a driver issue.
    I've tried 3 different DVI-cables, a VGA cable and an HDMI cable. All work on other rigs, but not with the PCI-e card in the M92p.
    Yes, I do upgrade my BIOS from a bootable CD, and no, I didn't brick the motherboard
    The funny part to this story is .. when I contacted Lenovo Support, believing that my motherboard was fried.
    They asked me to contact InfoCare, one of their sub-contractors, to help me replace the motherboard. On the 13th of February 2012 an on-site support technician from InfoCare came to replace the motherboard. After he replaced it, we tried it out my GEFORCE GT640 to see if the problem had been resolved; EUREKA! IT WORKED!.
    However, the support technician insisted to update the BIOS before he left. At the time I didn't know the BIOS was the real issue, so i stupidly agreed. He did his job, and left. I didn't reboot the computer again before I brought it home that day; and what do you know? I got home, booted up the computer, and got the exact same problem I had earlier; black screen, as if the PCI-e video card wasn't even there.
    That gave me the idea that the BIOS was to blame, so I began searching around on Google, Lenovo's Community Forum and so forth. That's when I found out that Lenovo had a reputation for white-listing certain WiFi extension cards, video cards and so forth. The only speculation as to why they did this was users saying that it was because only certain combinations of e.g. a motherboard and video card was not FCC-compliant.
    What sucks with this is that it wasn't always this way; in the case of the M92p 2992-B3G that white-list was added with a BIOS update.
    So why don't you just flash back to an older BIOS version?
    Easier said than done; there is no earlier BIOS version.
    Well, there are earlier versions, but they're no longer available to the public. I've dug around pretty much everywhere, and there's no downloads available anywhere, only the latest BIOS versions are available for download.
    So unless you've got an old ISO-image lying around, or happen to have the .img files in your C:\SWTOOLS, then you're pretty much screwed.
    Anyone got any ideas on how I can go further from here?
    The only suggestion I've got so far is to replaced the motherboard with a new one, which likely has the factory BIOS. That's pretty much what I did when the on-site support technician helped me last, and that worked like a charm until he flashed the BIOS again.
    Here's a few relevant posts you might want to review if you're up for it;
    MP92p (2992-B3G) - Problems with GeForce GT640 after 24th January BIOS Update
    Doesn't PCI-e video cards work anymore with the M92p?
    No video during boot after video card upgrade
    For the curious ones you'll find the BIOS change logs (up to 9SJ979USA) here;

    UPDATE #1
    If found an interesting reply to this post, where a user posted a link to a graphics card compatability matrix from July 2010, telling a M58p user that one of the video cards he wanted to purchase was not compatible with his machine type.
    He also speculates that Lenovo only white-lists low-power graphics cards such as the Quadro NVS because of their low power consumption. Then again, he himself uses a card that's not on that compatability list (a GEFORCE 310) without any issues.
    Is there an updated compatability matrix available, that also includes the M92p?
    UPDATE #2
    Could this problem been a result of LENOVO adding UEFI support to its M92p BIOS to comply with Microsoft's requirements for Windows 8?
    If you check the specifications for the ASUS GEFORCE GT640, and scroll to the bottom of the page you'll see the following;
    "* No native UEFI BIOS support, for UEFI BIOS, please download from ASUS technique support site. (The update tool only for ASUS MB.)"
    Could this be the o'holy grail for my problem?
    If this is the case, I am willing to purchase a new video card with native UEFI support (e.g. the SAPPHIRE RADEON R9 280), and see if that one might work.
    Solved!

    I can't seem to edit this post anymore, for some odd reason.
    So here goes;
    I found this post in NVIDIA's knowledge base;

    The interesting parts in this post are as follows;
    When an after-market graphics card is installed into a motherboard with UEFI enabled in the system BIOS, or if the system is a certified Windows 8 PC with Secure Boot enabled, the system may not boot.
    UEFI is a new system BIOS feature that is provided on most new motherboards. A UEFI system BIOS is required in order for the Windows 8 Secure Boot feature to work. Secure boot is enabled by default on certified Windows 8 PCs.
    In order to get the PC to boot with a graphics card that does not contain UEFI firmware, the end-user must first disable the secure boot feature in the system's SBIOS before installing the graphics card.
    Note: Some system SBIOS's incorporate a feature called compatibility boot. These systems will detect a non-UEFI-enabled firmware VBIOS and allow the user to disable secure boot and then proceed with a compatibility boot. If the system contains a system SBIOS the supports compatibility boot, the user will need to disable secure boot when asked during boot process
    This leads me to believe that the BIOS update that wrecked my setup was 9SKT58A/9SJT58A, which only contains one change;
    "Adds support for updating BIOS from a WIN7 BIOS to a WIN8 BIOS".
    I've just ordered a cheap UEFI-compatible GT640 from Gainward, so I hope I'll be able to try that out this weekend.

    I think i'll follok the Toenne suggest. The difference between the AGP 2x and 4x is very small, anyway my drivers are (un)installed correctly and i don't have any PCI card near the AGP slot. Instead i think that in the future i'll pay more attention at the temperature problem: my Athlon XP 2000+ is  hot also with a good copper cooler...

    Hi,
    There is a BIOS update posted for you PC but I don't think that it will solve your problem.  You might want to install it and see if anything changes.
    You may have to RMA the graphics card back to ASUS.  ASUS may be able to flash the BIOS on the card to make it work or replace it with a different graphics card that will work.
    Many of the NVIDIA GTX 750 graphics cards are enabled for a full UEFI BIOS PC and your PC is not at that level.

    Hi,
    That particular NVIDIA GTX 750 is probably not compatible with your PC.  Contact ASUS for a remedy.  If ASUS can't remedy the situation then RMA the card and try one of the below NVIDIA GTX 750 graphics cards that will support a PC with a legacy BIOS.

  • The video card Asus GeForce GTX 650 and GeForce GTX 750 are compatible with After Effects CC? An apology for my English.

    I will buy one of the two, but I urge confirm if any of them will help me with Newest After Effects CC. Thank you very much.

    This page lists the technical specifications for After Effects.
    After Effects doesn't really use the GPU for much besides the obsolete ray-traced renderer (see here), so either one should be fine. Some third-party effects, such as Element 3d from VideoCopilot, make use of the GPU, but their requirements are different from AE's and if you plan to use them, you should check their requirements before you purchase.

  • Video card recomendation - Asus GT430 or GT520 or 210

    Hi,
    I´m trying to decide on buying a discrete graphics card.
    At the time I'm using an onboard Intel GMA 4500 (which works pretty well but usually when I get out of sleep mode in W7 64bit the file I have open in photoshop gets frozen, I zoom in and out but the screen doesn't refresh; I have to maximize photoshop for the file to refresh.  Sometimes it doesn't even refresh after restoring photoshop).
    Maybe this has nothing to do with the video card and is just a photoshop issue.
    Anyway, which of these 3 cards do you think will improve the performance (the cheaper the best):

    Do you thing it's worth buying a video card or should I stay with the one onboard.
    I work in web design and I use Photoshop CS5, Illustrator and Dreamweaver (sometimes working with Ai/Psd files from 30 to 60MB, these files are the ones I notice stress more the machine when zooming or moving layers).
    I don't play games.  I watch HD video but the onboard card handles it quite Ok.
    Thanks in advance, Jimmy

    I've had the best results with ATI video cards, myself.
    Reading between the lines, if your budget is under $100 I'd recommend the VisionTek ATI Radeon HD 5670 (which is the card I use), or move up to the newer 6670 model if you have a few $$$ more.

  • Problem with 5.1 sound, only getting stereo [Geforce GT 610]

    Hi, this is going to be a bit long, but bear with me.
    HARDWARE
    HTPC:
    - Corsair VX 450W, PSU
    - Gigabyte GA-EG45M-DS2H, motherboard
    - Intel Core 2 Duo E8400, CPU
    - Kingston HyperX DDR2-800 4 GB (2×2048), RAM
    & - Asus Geforce GT 610 (installed today)
    SOUND SYSTEM:
    - Samsung HT-TXQ120
    HISTORY
    I have an old HTPC build I want to use again (been in storage for a year while living away). It was previously running Ubuntu, and was connected to my (also old) Samsung HT-TXQ120. The audio connected to the HT-TXQ120 via SP/DIFF and HDMI directly to my HDTV. Back when I first configured this the intel drivers were buggy with both audio and video on HDMI at the same time therefor the SP/DIFF. This setup worked fine for years.
    Fast forward to today, and I want to get the HDMI audio/video working.
    - The intel g45 sort of works, but the audio drops a few seconds every 2 minutes. I have not managed to get this working.
    - I was a bit fed up, so I researched for recommended video/audio card for HTPC and saw that Asus Geforce GT 610 was recommended and cheap. I bought that, and installed it. Uninstalled all intel drivers, and installed nvidia ones. So far so good.
    PROBLEM
    The new card will not output 5.1 sound to my HT-TXQ120. 5.1 surround output shows up in the sound preferences, but when I test it I only get sound on my front left and front right channel. The rest is silent. I have tried with speakertest, test in audio settings, VLC, mplayer, XBMC and Plex.
    Any help to get for this issue? Is the only solution to go back to using HDMI for video only, and sound through SP/DIFF?

    Two things to check:
    1) Open the "Sounds and Audio Devices" control panel. On the Volume tab, click the "Advanced" button. Is the speaker setup "5.1.."?
    2) Open the quicktime control panel. On the "Audio" tab, check that the Channels is 5.1.
    If you changed either of the above settings, restart the application you're testing with and try again.
    If that doesn't work, try checking the "safe mode (waveout only)" box in the Quicktime control panel (audio tab). Again, restart the application and try again.
    Hope that helps,

  • Trouble installing Asus GTX 750ti Graphics card on i7

    Pavilion i7 [email protected] (2011)
    Trying to upgrade from GeForce 545 graphics card to new ASUS Geforce GTX 750Ti.
    Hi  - After fitting the new card I get a blank screen after the initial blue setup screen. I have already read various detailed threads on exactly this but am not sure what to do.
    I have  few options from what I can figure out.
    1. One thread tells me how to go into the setup menu and 'disable secure boot'  - others tell me this won't work (??)
    2. Another very detailed thread says I must update the BIOS to a version 8 . I just did an update via HP support but it is still version 7 - the automated system doesn't let me install a newer version - not even sure if i should or how to(??)
    3. This is from another thread ;-
    'HP usually stops producing BIOS updates after one year from the model's initial release date which for your PC is May 2012.  You need a version 8 BIOS in other to get the EVGA 750 TI to work.  If you search the forum you will find many posts where many of the NVIDIA GTX 750 models have failed to owrk in PCs running a legacy BIOS ( not version 8).
    The below NVIDIA GTX 750 models should work as these models will work in PCs that have a legacy BIOS or a UEFI BIOS.
    MSI NVIDIA GTX N750 TI and the MSI GTX N750 TF'
    This suggests I simply give up on the ASUS card and get one of the cards listed above.
    I'm not sure what to do and would really appreciate some advise. I don't feel confident messing about too much with the machine and would like a simple solution even if it costs a bit more. If I knew 100% these other cards would work I'd just exchange the ASUS.
    thanks

    Hi,
    Interesting quotes, probably some from me.
    Here is another thought for you.  "Not every graphics card will work in every PC" Even graphics cards that work in one particular PC may not in fact work in a similar model or the exact same model.
    Look for a NVIDIA 660 or 670 and a power supply to match the recommendation by the graphics card manufacturer.
    BTW - You will probably not see a version 8 BIOS for the Pavilion models with the i7-2600 processor.

    I'm not after the fastest PC just one that will do the job well Speed is not as importent as Reliability.
    Thanks Jason.

    It would be a waste of storage space to use a 1 TB disk for OS & programs. You will probably not use more than 50 GB. Better get a 320 GB Samsung F4 for that purpose and use the 4 Blacks to distribute the load over these disks.
    The 920 is so old and hardly attractive anymore. The fact that I am one of the last Mohicans to use one is due to the fact that my system is about two years old. With current prices the 950 is more attractive than the 920 and for the time being the effective entry level for the i7-9xx line.
    Remember that the 2600K is intended to be the successor of the i7-870, not the i7-9xx. That is the Sandy Bridge E with the X68 mobo's.
    In comparison to the 870, the 2600K is a great step forward, but realize the shortcoming of the P67 chipset:
    1. Only 20 PCI-e 2.0 lanes (excluding piggy-backing NF200 chips)
    2. Only dual channel memory
    3. 4 DIMM slots
    The reputed advantages of the X68 mobo are:
    1. 40 PCI-e 3.0 lanes
    2. Quad channel memory
    3. Assumed to have 8 DIMM slots (because of the quad channel memory)
    The current X58 mobo's have:
    1. 36 PCI-e 2.0 lanes
    2. Tri channel memory
    3. 6 DIMM slots
    The price of a i7-2600K is (over here) € 295, the i7-950 is € 245. The performance of the 2600K is good, but not better than a 950 or even 920, despite higher overclocking and more memory. When a 950 is populated with 24 GB, it clearly wins from a 2600K.

    The only other one I was thinking of building was a Asus P6X58D-E with a i7 950.
    Thanks Jason

    a stock 2600 auto turbos to 3.7
    most certainly beats any of the X58s @ stock until you hit a 6 core at stock... and i am not so sure about that either..
    920,950,960, 975 done...
    and it actually beat the 970 and 980 stock speed numbers we have with 5.02 need to retest with 5.03.
    there is nothing wrong with the chipset. if you are going on about cant install a raid card.
    again 95% of the people who read this forum do not need any crazy raid arrays. a 5 drive setup with 2 sets raid 0 more than meet most peoples needs.
    and if you really need a raid card the big dog Gigabyte offers the ability
    what are you talking about rpi?

  • Msi 6528 and Geforce 4 mx 440 or hdd 80 Gb??

    Hi people,
    I've a terrible trouble: I've bought a Msi 6528 le with 512 sdram and an IBm 80 Gb hdd and a new asus geforce 4 mx 440. The system doesn't work and crashes or befor the os strt up or also in the bios mode. Sometimes appears on the black screen "Scan out of Range". What does it mean? Do you know about some incompatibility of any of each hardware pieces?
    Please help me!

    Sounds like a BIOS problem. Try selecting 'default settings' in BIOS to start with and take it on from there. What is your OS?  Check all installations especially with your HDD/jumper setting- pins 1 & 2 and 7 & 8 positions for 16 Logical Head settings ( Device 0- Master ).
    Your AGP card has to be 'enabled' in BIOS as well.
    Check the other installed hardware like CD-ROM and CD-RW ect. Your PCI Cards as well.
    If this does not work, then try the 'minimum' installation with just the HDD and Graphics card and see if you can boot to windows. I take t that your HDD is brand new with no data on it?
    Good luck!

  • New Member / Video Card Choice Question

    New CS4 Production Premium User Here.
    I am building a computer system specifically for Video Editing and production for use with Premier CS4 & Sony Vegas.. Have been doing my usual amount of Over Research here and other places but have a series of issues I am having a little trouble coming to grips with.
    I have been into computer editing game for a long time but strictly in the Audio Recording /Mixing area /..
    Video is a new interest which has me hooked / Im also a Gear Junkie so I have to watch it. 
    I will probably be back with a couple more topics but to keep this thread simple /
    My first post question is the topic of Video cards: Adobes Hardware compatibility list seems a little out dated. ?
    The system does not have to be an ultimate gaming rig as I am not into that / just SD & HD Video editing & 3d effects.. I need a card which will do what is needed / works well with Premier CS4 / Is not too loud fan wise / can run 24/5 and not overheat.
    I also will need the ability to monitor on a HD TV with a good sound monitoring system / Midas / Bryston / Dynaudio etc;
    I was considering either of the following / from lowest price to highest.
    ASUS GeForce 9600GT Silent 650MHZ 512MB 1.8GHZ DDR3 PCI-E Dual DVI-I HDCP HDTV Out
    ASUS GeForce 9800GT Matrix 612MHZ 512MB 1.8GHZ DDR3 PCI-E Dual DVI-I HDCP HDTV Out
    ASUS GeForce 9800GTX+ Dk 740MHZ 512MB 2.3GHZ DDR3 PCI-E Dual DVI-I HDCP HDTV Out
    Questions:
    Is a 512mb card sufficient?
    Will all of the above do what is needed for my purpose?
    What about noise of heat issues.
    My system could be running close to 24/5 at times.
    Have not made a final decision on all components but will probably basically start of like this.
    Vista 64 Bit/OS
    Core I7 940
    Asus Rampage 2 Extreme or a plain P6T
    Antec 1200 Case / For now I will leave out the hard drives and other things on my list.
    My builder suggests to stick with ASUS Video Cards because he has the fastest warranty replacement service on his end for ASUS products / plus I am a total ASUS Motherboard guy with years satisfied experiences.. (in Audio setups).
    Any feedback or comments on the above will be appreciated.
    Thanks / Orion

    Thanks Members for the Feedback:
    I am trying to stick just to the Video Card Issues so the topic does not get all over the map / Raid issues have already been researched & I might have a question about that later in another thread.
    Witha the video card issue I am just trying to see if I can get a reply which the majority of users agree upon / not an easy task & that is were my confused state of topic started.
    b Keith
    It seems what you have said about QUADRO cards is the most agreed upon overall from my last three months of research at various locations / The cost is extreme for these cards & I was just trying to determime if I realy needed to go that far : >$2,000.00 and up.
    just for the Graphics card..
    Perhaps I should start of with one of the cards I first mentioned which are dirt cheep compared to the Quadro series and replace it when I have arrived at the point where my shills are beyond my hardware limitations.
    b Charles & Jim.
    Thanks for the reference to the . >ASUS GeForce 9800GTX+ Dk 740MHZ 512MB 2.3GHZ DDR3< I was thinking this might be the best to start with / except for the reported could be problems of / Noise / card size and Heat issues if running 24/5?
    Other issues you have stated also seem to be agreed upon from mny sources as well / which is why I am considering perhaps not going Raid "o" from the start / perhaps Raid 5.. / or No Raid until I see If realy need it for my own personal use level.
    b conclusion to this point in the game:
    Looks like If I do a top notch system following all the higher end recomendations it will cost me over $10,000.00 (if I include a capture card / raid card (Areca 1220 or 1240(don't want to get into that topic just yet)& all the extras... This is about double the investment I had planned as this is basically a serious hobby not a business venture. Plus we have not included another $6,000.00 for a half decent peosumer HD camera with a few extras. I was trying to keep the entire setup to 8 to 10 grand total.. Not including the software / so this looks like wishfull thinking at best / Ho Ho.
    b remember / unfortunately my pricing reflects Canadian $$ which includes a 25% hike in pricing because our government wants the loonie (Good Name) low valued so businesses can export our products at built in 25% Sale Pricing.
    Perhaps,we wont get into that topic/please, but I just couldn't resist / when I start thinking about government issues (anywhere in this world) I tend to go off the deep end as part of why I am going into this video thing is to document the destruction of our environment & the entire democratic process, which is a total farce in my neck of the woods. Nuff Said..
    Again Thanks for the input and I will keep watching and perhaps cover another topic later / my goal is to place an order for a build within the next 10 days of so.
