ATI 1900 XT Card Settings for Dual 30" Displays?

Just installed the 1900 card with dual 30" monitors, and a window giving me 4 options appeared. I'm not sure what the differences are... which setting will give me the maximum speed for Aperture?

Read the about the Expansion Slot manager in Apple Help.
I have the ATI 1900 XT in slot 4 and 16x, but if barefeats is true slot 3 ans 8x is nearly as fast. It depends a lot on waht other PCI express cards you have installed and how fat you need to run these.

Video Card for Dual 30" Display

Hi pple,
Just ordered a mac pro for work and wanted to know if three NVIDIA GeForce 7300 cards will run dual 30" apple cinema displays without any kernel panics or problems.
Is it better to have the ATI X1900 GT?

Hello Boss 33
A link you can consider for help looking for a webcam:

Unless the software you want to use specifically requires that an external webcam provide a Firewire input, any of the new USB webcams that support "UVC" will work with 10.4.10. Older USB cams that do not support UVC may be useable with addition of appropriate third-party driver software.

Graphics card options for 3x 2560x1440 displays

Point of cosideration:
Currenty have a 5770
Currenty have 3x 27" displays (WQHD). They have DP and DL/DVI so no adapters are needed even on a single card array
Display seems slightly laggy under certain conditions since upgrading my monitors
Would like to improve gaming performance in mac and bootcamp
Considering 5870, 2nd 5770, or 6870 (open to suggestions)
I don't want to run custom drivers or flash a card. My system is used primarily for development so as close to Apple approved spec is best for debugging. However since I hear Lion/ML added support for certain PC cards (6870 specifically) I'm considering that for the cost/performance gains since it shouldn't break with OS updates, etc.
Not interested in discontinued models, used, ebay, etc. as a means for a secondary display card.
Cost is a factor but not the only one. If the 5870 is a better peformance option all around than a 2gb 6870 then it's price is justified since it's also a standard Apple config.
Would 2x5770 be better for day to day work (photoshop, etc.) than a 5870 due to the extra VRAM? How would this compare to a 6870 2gb? Or is the desktop environment going to see a better performance gain from the 5870 since it's the most powerful GPU (though only 1gb of ram). Are there Nvidia options I'm overlooking (again, no flashing, compatible with standard OS install, no custom drivers required, CUDA driver addon acceptable since it's not required for the base system config).

Focusing just on the stock options of dual 5770 or single 5870:
5870 is obviously higher performance for a single screen, and works fine in OS X and Bootcamp, however with 3 screens would I be overall better off with dual 5770's? run the 2 side screens on one card, and the main screen on another providing more vram for each screen. In theory I could crossfire the 5770's for bootcamp (os x doesn't use crossfire, but my understanding is it just ignores it if you install a bridge...) which is similar (a little lower) than a 5870 in performance... if I'm right in these assumptions then dual 5770 seems to give the following advantages
Improved OS X system performance since each screen has more vram to work with
Improved OS X gaming again because the main screen has it's own vram
Improved Bootcamp gaming due to crossfire (single screen in windows)
Cheaper
Still standard apple config
Disadvantages
Much lower single screen performance vs 5870 in mac OS
Lower single screen performance vs 5870 in bootcamp (not as much lower due to crossfire though)
Still not as good a price/performance ratio vs. breaking from a stock config
What about newer ATI cards? Can't find anything confirming or denying that the 7xxx series is supported in Mountain Lion... if it is supported presumably it would be more stable than Nvidia since it would be using the same base drivers as the standard ATI cards which apple supports...

What are the best settings for a retina display image?

If we Export for Web then view it on a retina display monitor, the image lines look blurry and it's not as crisp as non-retina display monitors.
What are the best settings when intended for retina display monitors while keeping the file size down?
Thanks!

Mark, yes a DVD will play back on a HDTV, just the quality will not match the capability of the playback device. This is certainly the easiest approach though.
As the article you referenced says, ensuring that your previews are set to a larger pixel dimension than your required output will ensure maximum quality, given that you will more than likely have movement on the images in the slide show I would suggest going with pixel dimensions that are at least 1920px.
Let us know how you go.

Settings for an external display monitor

I'm working with FCP 7 but my screen is small 13.3 and for a person of my age (60) is a litle difficult to work. I would like an external monitor display but I cant afford to buy the Apple 24" display, so I'm looking for an other alternative. I found Viewsonic VX2260WM full HD 22"screen very affordable or maybe Samsung XL2370 23" screen. So I need now some help to setup all the system. I would like to have the possibility to have FCP work space in the big monitor but the preview in my MCP. Please, dear adviser, take in mind, for my age, that I need all the explanation full detailed.
Many thanks in advance
JoseCup

Thanks Jerry for your advice. I have had for a week a 22" ViewSonic connected with a HDMI Mini Display port adapter. I tried to do my best for the setup of this monitor with 1080p resolution while the MBP 13" was setup to the native resolution 1280X800 but the image at the external display was not good enough as the MBP screen. In any case I have return the ViewSonic because other problems. I'm now looking for an other monitor but I'm not sure what to look for. I need for a bigger work space for Final Cut but with a good quality image. Do you have any advice?

Configuration settings for Transaction CORT (Display Confirmation)

Hello friends,
I have one process order and for which couple of times i have done the confirmation and cancelled it.
Now when i go to Transaction code CORT (Display Confirmation),it shows all that transactions(Counter) for that operation (Phase), like
0020 (op/counter)       Qty           Scrap           Unit
1                               500             0                 kg          (Reversed)
1                               500              0                kg
2                               500              0                kg          (Reversed)
2                               500              0                kg
This happens in Production server.
But when in development server i did like this,i.e created one process order and did confirmation and cancellation couple of times and went in transaction code CORT (Display confirmation),there i found counter like this
0020 (op/counter)      Qty           Scrap           Unit
1                               500             0                 kg          (Reversed)
1                               500              0                kg
3                               500              0                kg          (Reversed)
3                               500              0                kg
Later on again i did the confirmation and cancellation than next counter came as 5.
I want system should show me 2 instead of 3 like in production server.so guys where we do configuration for it.
Thanking you guys in advance.

i am closing the thread.

Best Settings for two displays

Final Cut has layout settings for Dual Displays --- I have two displays but prefer to learn Motion first and FCP later --- any recommendations?

I've created and saved ten or more different 2-display layouts. I keep changing them around. Just pull off the tabs and build them the way you want, save the layout. Give yourself a few projects to see how you like it, move 'em around, save the layout to a new name.
I have found placing the 4-port display on the larger display is convenient if it's on the right. Everything else is arranged on the smaller monitor, on the left side of the desk, with the windows I use less in the upper left corner, timeline along the bottom, inspector along the right side, and layers/media in the middle. I use the inspector more often than anything else so it's closer to the viewports.
Warning...when you move Motion's panes around, Motion sometimes loses track of which windows have the focus and you can lose many functions, especially keyboard shortcuts.

G5 ATI 1900 Green an Purple Video in FCP

Hello,
I've got this weird problem it looks like this
http://support.elgato.com/index.php?m=knowledgebase&a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=3097
in my video windows on FCP. I Have OS 10.5.5, QT 7.5.5. It's a G5 with an ATI 1900 video card. The strange thing is if I click on the finder the issue goes away but then if I click on the FCP screens it comes back. I've trashed prefs, done cahce cleaning, repaired permissions.
I've been searching this problem out and have seen no recent (Since last week 10/9 ish) reports.
Any solutions? Please advise.
Best,
Elroy.

Can I use dual 24" displays as an extended desktop with my MacBook?

I have a 2.4 GHz MacBook I purchased this summer. I was considering using it for my desktop needs, but I need to have a two-monitor extended desktop. I don't particularly care for the thought of using the notebook's monitor in addition to the 24" display. I'd rather have dual 24" displays, but in talking with the "chat" line on the store website, they said this is impossible to have an extended desktop this way. I'm stubborn and can't help but think that is not impossible with the appropriate work-around.
Suggestions? Thoughts?
Thanks so much.

The only option for dual external displays on a Mac laptop is the Matrox DualHead2Go. But with a MacBook, you could only get a maximum of 1024x768 on the two montors, a completely waste of a 24" monitor IMO.

Dual Monitor display/firmware difference

I purchased a Pavilion 27xi monitor from the HP Shopping site in October 2014 and purchased an additional 27xi to be used in a dual monitor setup. I received the new monitor this week. The newer monitor does not match the color/white of my existing monitor. When I move a white rectangle so it displays on each monitor, on the new monitor it appears as greenish gray instead of the white of the older monitor. I have done the factory resets, switched display adapter outputs (NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT), tried one monitor at a time on either adapter output. All with no change in the behavior of the new monitor. The internal setup/control menus of the monitors differ in content and style/color.
Older monitor info: manuf: April 2014, Rev: RIM111
New monitor info: manuf: Dec 2014, Rev: RIM232
I have talked with HP "support" and one person thought it was because of the revision level difference.
I want the display quality of the older monitor, Rev: RIM111. If the monitor difference is because of the revision level, can the newer monitor be put at the RIM111 level. I tried to purchase a monitor with the RIM111 level and was told by HP Shopping that they do not have any at that level. I this a firm level that can be changed? If so how do I accomplish that?

Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand that the newest monitor you have connected to your desktop computer does not match the color/white of the existing display, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
To ensure that your system is properly configured for dual monitor displays, I recommend following the steps in this document on Using Two or More Monitors with One Computer (Windows 8). If everything is setup accordingly, I recommend following the steps below for the newest monitor:
Step 1. Unplug the power cord from the back of the monitor and the wall
Step 2. Hold the power button down for at least one minute
Step 3. Plug the power cord back into the monitor and then into the wall outlet (not a power bar or surge protector)
Step 4. Press the Menu button on the monitor
Step 5. Navigate to the Factory Reset option and select it
Step 6. Try a different cable connecting your monitor to your computer
If the above steps did not resolve your issue you can try the monitor on a computer or other device to see if the issue persists. Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

ATI Radeon 9600 Pro 256MB 8x Dual (DVI/DVI) (AGP) Video Card for PC/Mac

We want to be able to use our 30" cinema display from the G4 and was advised in a previous discussion to buy the ATI Radeon 9600 Pro 256MB 8x Dual (DVI/DVI) (AGP) Video Card for PC/Mac. It doesn't seem to be available anywhere. Does anybody know of an alternate video card that's currently available that will get us there? (We had the display running from a G5 that quit / logic board failure).
Many thanks,
Philip

The Nvidia 7800GS is a flashed card, runs a 30" with ease.
BruinMacs on Ebay is a great place to get one, you support the guy who wrote the original ROM for these.
He doesn't seem to have any for sale right now, but if you email him, maybe he will list one.
There are also flashed X800s that work on your MDD and can run a 30". They are pricey but will offer dual DVI while the 7800GS is single DVI with VGA for second display.
There are also flashed 6600GT AGP cards which will work, but harder to find.
Any of the above 3 will run circles around a 9600.

Instruction of replacing a ATI 1900 for ATI 4870 on MacPro 2,1

Where can I get visual instruction on installing a ATI 4870 which will replace a ATI 1900 on MacPro 2,1?
Thanks

Assuming it's the card made for Mac (and not a PC card that's been altered/flashed to work in a Mac Pro), it really ought to work.
Drivers for the card aren't available separately anymore. You're absolutely right, they're built into Snow Leopard, but they should also be built into Leopard as well. It's possible that something mucked up the driver installation, to check it simply download and install the 'combo updater' for the most recent version of Mac OS that you're using.
For Leopard, get the 10.5.8 combo updater here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL866
For Snow Leopard, get 10.6.3 v1.1 combo updater here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1017
Hope that helps!

ATI 1900 for Mac Pro 1.1

After the second NVidia 8800 GT burning up within a month, I am thinking of replacing it with an ATI 1900. Any thoughts about that?

The first card burned up because it was a cheap, refurbished card from someone who hawks them on eBay. I thought it was a deal for only $160 and paid dearly for that. The card lasted only a few days. I received a replacement for that one from the supplier and that one lasted three weeks before it died. It didn't burn up like the first one, but shorted out.
I had the computer diagnosed by an Apple-certified shop when I had the problems with the first 8800 GT to make sure it's the card and not another part of the computer. This test revealed bad memory on the card as the problem. Since the second card grew on the same tree I expect it to have the same disease. The computer starts up fine without the card and shuts down instantly when I insert it into the slot.
I did some researching for the ATI HD 4870 and found it to be what I need; particularly that its mini DisplayPort works on a Mac Pro 1.1, which the one on the 5770 doesn't do. The local Apple Store has it in stock, so I'll pick one up later today.
