ATI 9600 Pro Mac & PC Ed. - Which is the Dual Link DVI Port?

I just bought an ATI Radeon 9600 Pro Mac & PC edition Video Card:
http://www.ati.com/products/radeon9600/radeon9600propcmac/index.html
This card features 2 DVI ports - one of them dual link.
Maybe I'm just blind, but I've been looking around everywhere trying to figure out which DVI port is the dual link. Does anyone know?
Any help will be appreciated.

There is a small "1" stamped in the sheet metal next to the single link DVI connector, and a small "2" next to the dual link DVI connector. The single link is closer to the motherboard.
There should be a PDF Users Guide on the Mac CD that came with the board. Page 17 shows the connectors.

  • Is anyone having stuttering problems on the ati 5870 with the mini dislplayport connected monitor when you turn off the display connected to the Dual-link DVI port?

    hey i have a ATI 5870 and when ever i turn the monitor connected to the dual_link DVI port the display connected to one of the mini display port shutters with everything on the screen Video, Mouse movement ect, any ideas ?

    Not sure what you are trying to do.  I interpret what you are saying is that you have a monitor connected to the DVI port and another to the mini displayport (mDP).  Are you physically trying to turn the one connected to the DVI port off (and on) causing the one on the mDP port to "shutter"?  If so, take a look at SwitchResX.  It will allow you to programmatically turn monitors on or off.  Maybe that will cure the problem.
    Of course if I am misinterpreting what you are saying ignore this post.

  • 30" display and the Radeon 9600 pro Mac/PC

    Okay so I posted this on another "Display" forum before I realized I probably should have posted it here. Sorry. Anyway:
    I just hooked up my new 30" display to my new Radeon 9600 Pro that supposedly has dual-link DVI ports for driving a monitor such as this. However the resolution is stuck at 1280x800. I've tried both ports on the card just in case only one of them was a dual-link (I'm unclear on whether it's one or both). However neither one produces the proper resolution.
    The instructions seem to be directed at PC peeps and so doesn't make any sense to me. It's talking about uninstalling and reinstalling drivers for the card which I am not aware of a Mac needing but what do I know?
    Can anybody tell me what I'm missing?

    Well, I tried logging into the forum last night to tell folks to nevermind my query but the server wouldn't let me in. All is now well. This is what happened:
    After entering my question I was poring further through the nominal manual and saw something about drivers for the card. Well, this was the first time I'd swapped out a video card plus nowhere in what I'd read in researching the matter ahead of time ever did I see any reference to drivers. Well lo and behold I went to the AMG site and found drivers to download. Unfortunately they were supposed to be installed BEFORE I put in the new card so I took out the new one, put back in the old one, installed the driver, reinstalled the new one and SHAZZAM! it worked and I am running with stunning clarity at 2048...or whatever it is.
    A friendly respondent alerted me to a "2" that is stamped somewhere on the face of the card. But I fortunately picked the right one without knowing it. The manual really is not clear as to whether one or both ports are dual-link and it says nothing about how to determine which one is.

  • ACD 30" Dual Link DVI and MacBook Pro Unibody

    I have the following configuration:
    ACD 30" Dual Link DVI and MacBook Pro Unibody
    I am exhibiting some intermittent problems with the 30" display not coming up when I reboot for example and here are some more:
    1. MacBook Pro not in clam-shell mode and restart equals 30" display not turning on
    2. When in Snow Leopard and I have the MacBook Pro running in clam-shell mode and I open the display on the MacBook Pro it remains black.
    3. When waking the MacBook Pro from sleeping (MacBook Pro in clam-shell) the 30" ACD is "grainy" and the display is not usable and it requires a reboot to solve the problem.
    Any help? In addition are there any other displays using mini-display port to mini display port technology?
    What about a different monitor; will I still have to use the Dual Link DVI adapter to drive a display with higher than 1920x1200 resolution?
    Are there adapters to go from mini-display port to display port?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Just came across your post and i have a couple of suggestions ive noticed with the Dual-Link to Mini-DP with the same configuration.
    When working in clamshell mode for example, the 30" will become the MAIN/Default display...So if you open your macbookpro while the 30" is on and the system is running, the screen will remain black because it is in closed mode; basically meaning there is no signal to be sent.
    so if you want the display to show up, either restart or put into sleep mode, then wake the system WITH THE LID OPEN.
    As for the grainy/static artifacts, its beena reported issue since day 1, not sure waht the fix or issue may be with it but heres a resolution.
    Press; SHIFT CONTROL EJECT-KEY all at once, this will disable signal to the monitor, but not shut off the machine...then use your mouse or press a key on the keyboard to wake the display and the grainyness should disappear.

  • ATI 9800 Pro Mac SE - Screen Artifacts and Anomalies

    Hello All,
    I was lucky enough to be given a new video card this Christmas (ATI 9800 Pro Mac Special Edition). Unfortunatly I am having some serious issues.
    When I frst installed the card in my G5 all seemed well, both my displays appeared to be working properly and I did not notice any problems. The next day I decided to update the ROM on the card to the latest offered by ATI; after doing this I began to notice some horrible screen artifacts and tearing.
    Examples:

    http://static.flickr.com/42/7761277964b07c6811o.jpg
    As you can tell from the screenshots above this is not normal.
    Here are some details of my Powermac:
    Dual 2.0G5 w/ 3.5 GB of RAM
    Running 10.4.3
    Displays:
    23" Apple (plastic) Cinema Display connected via ADC
    17" Sony connected via DVI
    And the ATI card:
    Chipset Model: ATY,R350
    Type: Display
    Bus: AGP
    Slot: SLOT-1
    VRAM (Total): 256 MB
    Vendor: ATI (0x1002)
    Device ID: 0x4e48
    Revision ID: 0x0000
    ROM Revision: 113-A14402-126
    I have attempted to downgrade the firmware on the card to the previous ROM offered by ATI; no luck.
    I have taken the normal troubleshooting procedures:
    - Repair permissions
    - Clean caches
    - Repair Disk
    - Reseat video card
    - Install a fresh copy of Tiger on a seperate drive
    - Install different versions of ATI's software (currently using the most up to date)
    - Remove ATI's software
    - Boot into safemode
    - Run one display at a time (first ADC then DVI)
    It seems ATI support is out till 12/30; does anyone have any advice?
    Thanks for all your help....

    I purchased this card on ebay as a new, unused Apple factory unit, which doesn't require the molex power drop from the superdrive. I've got a 20" aluminum cinema display and a 17" clear CRT studio display connected. My main problem is that I get random app freezing (mostly Safari, sometimes Preview, and occasionally Mail). I can browse with Firefox all day and not have a problem. Console shows nothing unusual, either.
    Symptoms: cursor present and movable, but unable to click on anything, Dock icons don't display their names upon rollover, perpetual beachball in frontmost app, high-pitched screech coming from machine somewhere (unless 'Napping' is turned off in CHUD processor pref pane, then normal).
    Until this evening, I was under the impression that these were freezes that required a hard restart - I had waited several hours for the symptoms to clear to no avail. Tonight I decided to try something: I pressed the power button on the 20" display, and then pressed the 'S' key to sleep the system (even though I got no feedback on screen). I waited a few seconds and then left the room for a minute or two, and when I came back, the machine was sleeping. I woke it up and found horrible corruption, which corrected itself after another sleep cycle.
    I was actually preparing for an archive & install to see if maybe different drivers would be installed that alleviate the issue, but wasn't too hopeful.
    Bizarre...
    Now I'm not sure what to do. I haven't been able to use Safari for several weeks due to this. I had thought that since it only seems to happen with Apple apps, that maybe it was a core OS thing that 3rd party apps weren't affected by.

  • ATI 9600 Pro card and Leopard?

    Hello!
    I would like to know if the video drivers in leopard are better than the ATI Display software. I want to install Leopard on a G5 with Radeon 9600 Pro Mac/PC edition via a simple update, but dont know if the card will be handled right away, and if yes if I'm to install the Ati software (4.5.7 is the latest I think).
    Thanx for your input...

    Hopefully this will help someone else in my predicament...
    I just installed Leopard on a G5 with an old ATI Rage card in it (long story) and found that HD video (x264 .mkv, etc.) was really choppy (go figure!). So I dug up the 9600 card that came with the G5 originally and swapped out the older card with this newer one. The G5 then booted though the Apple logo with the spinning gear and right when it was looking like it would go into the desktop and finish the boot process the screen would just go black.
    While searching around the forums for someone else with this problem (and swapping the video cards back out so I could at least boot the G5 and try installing the latest ATI driver from their website) I noticed from another system on my network that when the G5 was running with the 9600 (and the screen was blank) it was still accessible via the network, and even more importantly available for screen sharing (yea Leopard!). So I shared the screen, seeing that it was running a super low res (that the attached DVI monitor did not support, I guess). I switched the res to a known-good setting (1680 x 1050) and suddenly the blank screen snapped to life, and all is working fine now (and HD video playback is smooth as silk!).
    If I had installed Leopard with the 9600 installed in the G5 to start with I bet this would not have happened, but hey, live and learn.

  • Radeon 9600 Pro Mac & PC Card

    Hello,
    I just got my Radeon 9600 Pro Mac & PC Card in the mail today.
    I bummed to find that it did not come with a DVI to ADC adapter.
    I have a apple 17" display that I would like to hook my new card up to.
    I shopped around on the apple site's shop and found two products
    that may cure my situation.
    One was a simple adapter cable for $29.99
    The other was a bigger converter product for $99.99
    Which way should I go?

    Mitch,
    If your monitor is one of the clear plastic generation types then the power comes through the ADC cable from your Mac. DVI connectors do not provide power, therefore the simple adapter cable probably won't work for you.
    You will have to go with the converter for $99.99.

  • Can I run two 2560x1440 monitors (dual link DVI) on a new Mac Pro?

    I have two Monoprice Zero-G IPS monitors, which can run at resolutions of 2560x1440 using a dual-link DVI adapter.  This is what I am currently using on my old 2008 Mac Pro.
    If i get a new model Mac Pro, could I continue this arrangement at the max resolution by using two Thunderbolt/Minidisplay port to Dual link DVI adapters (and, I assume, using two of the USB ports as I do now)?
    Frankly, I dont need the power of a new Mac Pro but my old one is long in the tooth.  I'd get a retina Macbook and use it as my desktop, but I cant think of any way to run both monitors at full resolution on the Macbook Pro.  I dont want to run them at HDMI resolution.
    Thanks in advance!

    Adapters go from $9 to $54, the latter having heat-sink which is not needed in an open cMP.
    Some support both as in either or but not two at the same time, SATA interface on the PCIe afapter, or an M.2 type
    While other PCIe "solutions" exist they are not OS independent or machine, the XP941 suffers from none of those concerns as it is bootable in all Mac Pro 1,1 thru 5,1, and is the only one for 200-7 models (and 2008 are iffy) so you can 'take it with you' if you move to a new cMP.
    Old controller, you need two SSDs in RAID0 to get 900MB/sec writes.
    Does not appear to be any of the real issues of PCIe slot and bus master, outside of you would exclude the 1x slot in the 2006 of course!
    The hardest part? getting these tiny M.2 blades, which are ~ 1" x 3.25" and have a tiny screw,  on the PCIe adapter.
    250GB SSD today are ~$120 + many do want SATA III PCIe (to get 550MB/sec and allow continued use of 4 x SATA II drive bays) runs ~$80-299. In some cases you then need a 2nd SSD. So if you want speed (vs size) then $240 + $100 and the $300 for XP941 256GB isn't bad.
    Finally, look for an Apple blade on ebay if running Yosemite - they vary, some are 2x (slow) M.2s and you want 4x but any are probably 700MB/sec and cost $400-700. No need with Apple part to worry about TRIM.
    Comparing 128GB SATA II $83 + $15 adapter vs PCIe XP941 128GB $140 + $24 is a 'toss-up' in cost but not performance, and one frees up drive bay and uses PCIe slot. (Generally 250GB are faster and better, the 128GB use to have 135MB/sec writes and $40 extras for 550MB and double storage makes sense, you never want an SSD to get down to 20% free, and you want to have 11% set aside for over-provisioning).
    So in a way you can get 1000MB/sec like nMP for $175-300 in any Mac Pro, and new faster blades are on the horizon offering 1400MB/sec.
    Kind of amazing, that M.2 support is in that old EFI all along waiting

  • How do I get my Macbook Pro 15" to run dual monitor setup with Dual Link DVI outputs

    I own have two 27" 2560x1440 WQHD LED IPS Computer monitors and have been trying to get them to work with my macbook pro 15" w retina for over a month now. I have purchased multiple products and nothing has worked. The big problem is that the only input that the monitors have is a Dual Link DVI input. The closest that i have gotten to getting them to work was this morning when I bought 2 Mini Display Port to Dual Link DVI Adapters for $99 a peice. Below is a link
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB571Z/A/mini-displayport-to-dual-link-dvi-ada pter?afid=p219%7CGOUS&cid=AOS-US-KWG-PLA
    Problem is that when I hook them up, I still only get a picture on one of the screens. Also, it requires you to plug into a mini Display port and USB port which takes up all of the space for me to run any othe peripherals. Though it has a built in USB port, when I plug my apple keybaord into it, I get an saying "USB Device Needs power, connect "keyboard Hub" to power or usb port on this mac"
    I have looked everywhere for a docking station that would satisfy my needs, however, it does not exist. I use my macbook as my main office computer and take it home with me every night. I switched from the lenovo thinkpad to the macbook and have been satsified with my decision except for the fact that i cannot connect my monitors to it.
    Please help!

    Yes, that would work, however it would cost me $2000 for the monitors.

  • Macbook Pro with Retina wont detect monitor on mini display port to dual-link dvi adapter

    So after reading Jeff Atwood's post, I decided to jump and give it a shot. So this week I got my monitor in from Korea, and I already had my Apple mini display port to dual-link dvi adapter, hooked everything up - and nothing. Monitor doesnt show a signal, and no display shows up in user preferences.
    To verify the monitor actually works, i plugged it into my windows box - and boom, right away there it is in all its glory. So I called apple support, after spending about an hour going through the "are you sure its plugged in stuff", the tech finally admitted to being stumped and blamed the adapter. Not to be deterred, I then went to my local apple store and talked them into trying their adapter to rule out the adapter - regardless of the adapter, the mbp wont detect the monitor.
    Just for fun, i tried my old single mini displayport to single dvi, the monitor is recognized, but that obviously cant drive the right resolution, so i just get a backlight. Same deal when i try the hdmi port with a hdmi to dual-link dvi adapter on the end of it. Also tried display port to the same hdmi with adapter on it (the joys of working in a dev shop - cables to test everywhere)
    I have read / tried a ton of things:
    re-installed / uninstalled air display, just to be sure it was gone. went through all my apps just to see if there is anything like this i could think would be effecting it
    install gfxCardStatus to ensure i am on the nvidia (discrete) and not the internal card
    Played with different settings on SwitchResX to try to force the res over hdmi - no love - os rejected each one
    I bought the monoprice adapter wondering if it was just the apple adapter since the apple adapter has been panned, no love from it either
    Reset the PRAM countless times
    I have two other adapters coming in to test with in a day or two - maybe one of those will be magic, but at this point i kinda think its software on the mac. My Spec:
    I am running Mountain Lion with all the latest updates
    New MBP with Retina (2.6g processor, 16gig ram, nvidia video card)
    Here is the ebay link to the monitor
    Now the other weird thing is pretty much universally these auctions say the monitors cant be run on a laptop - which makes no sense to me, because its just a connection, if the video card is strong enough (which my machine better be) it shouldnt matter the source. The listing mentions its a "by-pass" monitor, which is something I and google have never heard of.
    So any sage words to make my day?

    Magic was, I have to have the adpter plugged into the mac, let it recognize all with the monitor powered off.
    then power on the monitor, and boom gloriousness
    For future generations, setup that works:
    1) MacBook Pro with Retina
    2) Monitor From Korea (example auction)
    3) Accell Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Active adapter (amazon)
    4) Boot mac, plug in adapter, let it recognize the monitor, power on monitor

  • 17" MacBook Pro to 30" HD Display issue using Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adaptor.

    Just replaced the Western Digital hard drive on my MacBook Pro with a SSD now running Lion 10.8.2, (updating from Snow Leopard latest version).
    I have a 30" HD Apple display monitor and very much love using it.
    The issue.
    The MacBook Pro will only allow the 30" Monitor to display its top resolution when the unit is closed, when it is open it shows either 2 screens or mirrored screens depending upon the settings, but not at the top resolution capable by the monitor.
    Now, when I was using Snow Leopard on the previos hard drive, I could close the MacBook Pro and put the computer to sleep also putting the 30" Monitor to sleep, I could then wake the computer while it was closed with my external keyboard and the screen would wake showing the FULL resolution possible on the 30" Monitor.
    Then I could open the lid of the MacBook Pro and the screen would stay black allowing ONLY the 30" HD Monitor to be used effectively as a desktop computer, without the complication or need to display 2 screens or mirrored screens but most importantly the fans wouldn't need to work overtime due to the MacBook Pro being closed cutting off vital ventilation through the 2 air ducts to the left and right of the keyboard.
    For some reason I cannot do this with Mountain Lion, the compluter needs to be closed in order for the 30" Monitor to display top resolution, and the fans are working overtime and the unit is getting really hot.
    My concern is that the MacBook Pro will overheat, the screen will be damaged as the MacBook does get exceptionally hot when running design and audio packages, even Adobe Flash sets the fans off, and lastly the computers speakers are muffled which is more of a moo point.
    If anyone could shed some light or offer a solution I would be most appreciative.
    My specs:
    MacBook Pro 17" Mid 2009 3.06 Intel Core Duo, 8GB 1067 MHz DDR3, NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT 512 MB, OS X 10.8.2 - connecting to an Apple 30" HD monitor with a Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adaptor.
    Thanks
    Christian Zav

    Thanks for your quick reply! I want to think I'm not technically challenged, but... are you saying to go from minidisplay on macbook directly to the firewire in the back of the monitor? Or should I try to attach it to that ugly bunch of cables at the end of the monitor cable (dvi, usb, firewire and the power adapter thingy)? Either way, it seems like I might need yet another cable? Like Mini-display to... ?
    I feel like my mother asking these questions... At any rate, when I called the guy at apple support last time he acted like it was a Miracle that I had anything on my cinema display at all if I had a minidisplay cable plugged into the thunderbolt port. He said that didn't work (but obviously it did, at least a little) I DID get a picture, it just wouldn't display at the 2560x1600 resolution. More like 1680xsomething. fuzzy and big. I want my pretty picture back.
    Thanks so much for your help.
