ATI Radeon 4870 HD with nVidia GeForce 7300 GT dont work

In 1st generation MacPro I have new ATI 4870 in Slot-1 and GeForce 7300 GT in Slot-4 (with second display), but applications (Cinema 4D or After Effects, for example) and Cinebench recognizing only 7300 GT card. Where may be a problem? ATI is fully recognized in profiler, but nVidia shows 0 MB VRAM or "No Display Connected"... Please, help...

Pull the 7300GT. I can find an article on Adobe support and FAQ for CS3 and later.

  • Dual 23'' with NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT

    I want to know if I can drive 2 23" inch displays on a Mac Pro 8 core with the stock NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT at full resolution or do I need to get a second card. My monitors are not the new ones with the aluminum finish, they are a generation or two behind, they are the ones that have the white plastic frame.
    Thanks

    The card can drive two monitors. Only one can be 30". The two 23" will be fine, but you will need two DVI to ADC adapters if they are ADC (Apple Display Connector) models.

  • FCEHD compatibility with NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT

    I cannot get FCEHD to recognize my camera, JVC GR HD1U, though it works with other video import programs (iMovie HD) I have a NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT card, and it isn't listed as compatible. Is this a different problem or is it causing my difficulty?

    Start by trashing your preferences. Which version of FCE? Use the rear FW port. What drives? How's everything connected? What settings on the media? What settings in FCE?
    The graphics card's not relevant.

  • Graphics Firmware update for iMac with with NVIDIA GeForce 7300 or 7600 GT

    I am one of the many with an 06 24" iMac that has the graphics card glitch. Downloaded and installed this firmware update today and worked all day with no issues. The update says it is for users that are running Windows 7 in boot camp.
    Is this coincidental and the firmware fixed the issue so many of us have with these iMacs with the NVIDIA cards or did I just jinx myself and my problems are bound to return?
    Guess I will know soon enough!
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL978

    I've seen all sorts graphics problems mentioned. Apple sells millions of Macs per years, so any potential problem is bound to happen to at least a few customers. Assuming that people can read your mind is not a very good way to get responses.
    On the other hand, if you describe the problem in detail, people reading the forum and looking for solutions may actually find your post through a keywords search, and your finding about installing the firmware update for Windows 7 may help then too, after confirming their problem is similar to your problem.
    But that's up to you...

  • OEM Apple nVidia GeForce 7300 GT is on Adobe's list of unsupported GPUs for Open GL rendering-

    My Mac Pro's Radeon X1900 XT is retired to my computer grave yard, in my basement, but going back to the OEM Apple nVidia GeForce 7300 GT, which shipped with my Mac Pro, brought some encouraging results.
    When I first got the 2007 Mac Pro, in 2009, I was running it in Mac OS 10.4.4.11 Tiger and Photoshop CS4 (11.0.0) would disable Open GL rendering when it detected the stock nVidia GeForce 7300 GT card, which was on Adobe's list of unsupported graphics GPUs.   So, I purchased a refurbished Apple Radeon X1900 XT.  This card allowed Photoshop CS4 and Bridge CS4 to enable Open GL Rendering.  Over the last year, the Radeon X1900 XT graphics card has been creating stripes on my screen when it is running hot and sometimes the dual displays would just shut off while I was working.  Also, the computer was doing hardware freezes about once a day.   This morning the Mac Pro shut down it's dual displays, while I was working, and I had to do another cold shut off in order to restart.  I then manually shut the computer down and did a manual boot-up so that Snow Leopard would employ disk maintenance.
    I shut the computer off and pulled the Radeon X1900 XT card and re-inserted the OEM Apple nVidia GeForce 7300 GT card.  Now I'm running Mac OS 10.6.8 Snow Leopard with Photoshop CS4 (11.0.2) instead of Photoshop CS4 (11.0.0).
    Now, the updated Photoshop CS4, under the newer OS, is enabling Open GL rendering instead of disabling it. This graphics card's hardware limitation is now fixed, so I see no reason to buy the ATI Radeon HD 5770 Graphics Upgrade Kit for my Mac Pro:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Apple/6615718/
    Some who have purchased the Apple  ATI Radeon HD 5770 say they still got the striping on their display when the Radeon HD 5770 card was running hot,  just like with the Radeon X1900 XT.
    So far, the OEM Apple nVidia GeForce 7300 GT is working fine and I'm not getting any striping on my displays with no display shut-offs or hardware freezes.
    I'm glad to have Adobe's Open GL rendering enabled with an OEM graphics GPU that runs cool and requires no imbedded cooling fan.  Apples OEM nVidia GeForce 7300 GT, for the Mac Pro, is on Adobe's list of unsupported GPUs for Open GL rendering under Photoshop CS4, so why is it supported now?  Is that just one of the benefits of the Photoshop CS4 11.0.2 update?

    Chirs, thanks for your info but you are talking about Photoshop CS5, which does not support OpenGL drawing on the Mac nVidia 7300 or the Mac Radeon X1900.  As long as I am using Photoshop CS4 and have not yet upgraded to CS5, I can continue to use the Mac nVidia 7300 and get limited OpenGL drawing support from Photoshop.  And it is working fine.
    Today I found out that Adobe has updated their OpenGL support information and apparemntly when I upgraded my Mac from Tiger to Leopard, and later, I gained Photoshop's Open GL support for the Apple nVidia GeForce 7300 GT:
    Supported video cards (Mac OS)
    Intel-based Macintosh, tested on Mac OS X 10.4.11 and 10.5.4
    17-inch iMac x1600, 128 MB
    ATI HD 2600, 256 MB
    MacBook Air intel GMA X3100
    Nvidia Quadrofx 4500, 512 MB
    Radeon x1900, 512 MB
    Intel-based Macintosh, tested on Mac OS X 10.5.4 only
    8800 GT, 512 MB
    iMac 8800 GS, 512 MB
    Nvidia 8600M, 256 MB
    The following Power PC cards work in Photoshop CS4: Nvidia 7800 (256 MB), Nvidia GeForce 7800 GT, and the Nvidia Quadro FX 4500.
    Note: OpenGL is enabled for the GeForce 7300GT, but Advanced Drawing and 3D Acceleration are disabled.
    So, when I upgrade to Photoshop CS5, I will need to replace my video card with something compatible with Photoshop CS5s OpenGL drawing engine.  Do you think the ATI Radeon HD 5770 Graphics Upgrade Kit, for my Mac Pro, will get Photoshop CS5 to make OpenGL drawing availible and active?
    I appriciate an Adobe employee, like yourself, providing the information I need to make the right hardware choices when upgrading to Adobe CS5.

  • IPhoto 11 and nVidia GeForce 7300 GT

    Hi folks,
    I have an 2006 white iMac 24" with the nVidia GeForce 7300 GT and there is no way to use my iPhoto 11 without freezing Snow Leopard.
    As I can see, everybody with nVidia GeForce 7300 GT are having the same freeze problem.
    Anyone have success solving the problem? Apple don't say nothing about it?
    Let's get together to Apple hear us!

    Have same problem.(24" iMac with nvidia 7300GT) Read all about the very real problem on this discussion group and have done all the suggestions. Notified Apple, etc.
    I had brought my iMac to an Apple Genius Bar and they spent a lot of time on it, with results being---"there is a problem" and admitting that it is not with my computer. But they could not tell me anything more (they do not know whether an iPhoto fix is in work).
    As I have a large and active library, I could no longer live with this problem.
    I bought Aperture. It works wonderfully. The import of my library was flawless. There is a sizeable learning curve and many things are different than iPhoto. I found that Aperture is not only extremely quick but there are a great many useful things that iPhoto does not have. I had previously used Elements for detailed adjustment, but it looks like Aperture can be used for this, and I eventually may also drop Elements.
    So maybe this very frustrating problem did end up with a silver lining.

  • ATI 4870 AND NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT together ?

    hello. i have a mac pro 1.1 with the stock NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT video card. I will receive a new ATI Radeon HD 4870 card today and was wondering if it was possible to have both cards installed and if this wold provide a performance boost (ie will rendering videos utilize the power of both combined etc) . Also, i would like the option of having 3 displays . So 2 questions,
    1. can i have both cards installed at once?
    2. and if yes, will it provide benefits or problems/conflicts ?
    thanks
    Mac Pro 1,1 , 5GB Ram , Latest Snow Leopard , Mac 20ish" Display, and Sony Bravia 52" as display using dvi-hdmi cable .

    I've run the 4870 together with the 7300gt; there were no problems whatsoever. You'll be able to run 4 monitors, other than that there are no other benefits. This is under OSX.
    Note though, if you're running windows under bootcamp, with both cards installed you will likely run into driver conflicts. Best to keep to the same "clan" (ATI or Nvidia) when booting in windows.

  • Nvidia GeForce 7300 GT and ATI Radeon X1900 XT

    I have a Mac Pro 2,1 running 10.6.1 and BootCamp.
    I had a Nvidia GeForce 7300 GT video card in it and it ran well under BootCamp.
    I installed a ATI Radeon X1900 XT.
    Under BootCamp the 2 cards seem incompatible, with an error message that the driver on the Nvidia card has been disables due to an incompatibility with the other card.
    Is there a solution for this?
    If I wanted 2 cards inside would they both need to be the ATI's or Nvidia's?
    Thanks

    Hi I would maybe get a Apple Upgrade Kit the GT 120 is 512MB's & dose not use all 16 lanes as it like to make you think & will work on 2006 Mac Pro's at $149.00 I would say if you just want more displays get two & eBay your old cards. Please know if you game you will want more power but if only for more displays this 1 slot card is great.

  • Running ATI Radeon x1900 XT along with NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT Possible?

    Can I run the ATI Radeon x1900 XT along with NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT together in my mac pro?

    The X1900 would have to go in double wide slot, you would have to run one or both at 8x.
    I think something like ATI 2600 might make more sense. The 8800GT is listed as discontinued (have a thread or two about it being EOL). So unless you have the 8800GT may not be an option anyway.
    The 4870 + 2600 combo would be best I can think of for us with 1st gen now.
    This assumes you simply need to drive 3 monitors. And don't want to wait and see if the Nvidia eVGA GTX 285 (doubtful) will support 1st gen EFI32's.

  • Radeon HD 5770 vs. NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT

    I am running a first gen. 1,1 Mac Pro 2 x GHz Dual-Core with 18 GB Ram.
    I have two 30"-Cinema Display connected to two NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT.
    Will I recognize more speed by upgrading to a single Radeon HD 5770?
    I know that this upgrade would cost me an Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link-DVI-adapter, too.
    I am mainly working with Apple Logic Pro.
    Regards
    Philipp

    Visit Bare Feats and look for their various GPU benchmarks from when the 5770 was first released. The 5770 will perform better than the 7300, but it will not achieve its maximum capabilities in your model because your Mac Pro only has PCIe 1.0 slots.

  • ATI Radeon 4870 Graphic Card - Minor Problems with Icon View

    I have a MacPro 2,1 (early 2007)... Recently upgrade graphic card from ATI Radeon X1900 to ATI Radeon 4870... Works fine, except when viewing files in "icon view"... The icons are "fuzzy-like" some pixels are missing... This is seen in any size icon... small or large... or views no problem... cover view, list view, or column view...Does anyone have a working solution for this problem in icon view... Thanks

    If ATi didn't specify the card you bought is designed for your Mac, then it's strictly the PC version and is incompatible with OS X. It may work correctly in Bootcamp for Windows, but not for OS X.
    Your best option would be to return the 4350 and purchase a "designed for Mac" video card by ATi or nVidia cards offered on the Apple online store.

  • Problems with 3D Hardware acceleration on nVidia geForce 7300

    I have a system with a Core 2 Duo CPU and a nVidia geForce 7300 graphic card. I am trying to run a 3D robotics simulation program (Webots 7.0.3) and its performance is abysmal. I never had graphic performance issues before---but then again, I never tried to run this particularly intensive simulation software. Other simulation software compiled from source (e.g. player/stage ) runs smoothly.
    Where can I start to look to find out where the problem is?
    Here is what I've been able to find out so far:
    1. Hardware acceleration seems to be enabled:
    [stefano@polus]$ glxinfo | grep -n5 "direct rendering"
    1-name of display: :0
    2-display: :0 screen: 0
    3:direct rendering: Yes

    6-server glx extensions:
    7- GLX_EXT_visual_info, GLX_EXT_visual_rating, GLX_SGIX_fbconfig,
    8- GLX_SGIX_pbuffer, GLX_SGI_video_sync, GLX_SGI_swap_control,
    2. glxgears reports very poor performance: about 60FPS. The software manufacterer says their product needs around 2000FPS to run smoothly
    [stefano@polus]$ glxgears                                                                                                                                                                                                             
    Running synchronized to the vertical refresh.  The framerate should be                                                                                                                                                                       
    approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate.                                                                                                                                                                                         
    301 frames in 5.0 seconds = 60.157 FPS                                                                                                                                                                                                       
    299 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.781 FPS                                                                                                                                                                                                       
    3. The software (i.e. Webots) is proprietary, and their linux version is built against libjpeg version 6.2. Archlinux currently runs libjpeg 8, so I had to manually install the older version.
    4. The software runs satisfactorily on my Kubuntu laptop, an old Lenovo T61 which has similar (or similarly aged) hardware. In other words, the CPU seems to be adequate and the prolem lies with the graphic setup in my Archlinux system, I believe. 
    5. I read the nvidia pages on the Arch website, the nvidia-linux pages and the Xorg pages on how to set up xorg.conf. It did not help.
    Some info on my system are appended below.
    Any hint greatly appreciated.

    301 frames in 5.0 seconds = 60.157 FPS
    Why you get 60FPS? you have your answer there.
    I noticed that and was wondering about it. I am not familiar with glxgear at all and I am not sure about the exact meaning of the statement about framerate. But one of the developers of the software I am trying to run sent me this glxgear output, obtained on a recent Ubuntu system running under VMWare (on a Windows host, I presume):
    $ glxgears
    11030 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2205.791 FPS
    11492 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2298.289 FPS
    What gives? Are they running a different version of glxgears or is there some hidden switch in glxgears that unties it from monitor refresh rate and makes it work as a benchmark tool  (man glxgears did not report any)?

  • How Do I use an Ati Radeon 4870 HD for 3 Monitors

    I am new to the Apple world and community.  I recently got a new job that requires me to use a Mac Pro.  OS X version 10.6.8.  2.66 ghz dual xeon and 32 GB of ram.  It has a ATI Radeon 4870 HD.  I can run 2 monitors fine using the DVI and Mini DV port ( Using a convertor from apple. ).  When I try to use the 2 other HDMI ports for my third monitor, Mac OS wont detect it.  The wierd thing is some of the images from certain apps show on the 3rd Monitor. 
    Under graphics information it shows the Radeon 4870.  Under PCIe information it shows the same card.  On the back of my machine I have 2 HDMI slots and another lower down with Mini DV and DVI.
    The Displays I am running are 3 HP LP2475w Monitors.  Running in DVI mode with one converted to Mini DV.  The 3rd non working is running in DVI to HDMI but it can be run Straight HDMI if need.  Ive tried alot of configuration settings and I can't get the HDMI port to be detected by MAC OS.  Ive plugged one in at a time and just the HDMI do not detect.
    Please let me know what information is needed to help troubleshoot this better.

    A 5770 is $249 or slightly less and in the same dept to me as replacing hard drives, adding some RAM in order to work and because my understanding is it was the first card to support 3 monitors.
    The 5770 only requires 10.6.5+ - and the 4,1 had way too many issues with 10.5.7/10.5.8
    The 4870 may or may not provide what you need for the software you run, even though 3 yr old machine but 4 yr old plus video card.

  • Kernel Panic caused by Nvidia GeForce 7300 GT after Upgrade

    Kernel Panic caused by Nvidia GeForce 7300 GT after Upgrade
    Mac Pro 2,66 Ghz Dual Core Intel Xeon
    driving 2 Apple Cinema Displays 23 (out of order since update) and 30
    running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2
    Hi I'm Phil from Germany,
    and I have the same problem like many others here:  https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1541589?tstart=0
    caused by the Nvidia GeForce 7300 GT after combined Upgrade by Apple.
    Started with frozen desktop, and ended with a permanent Kernel Panic after a reeboot.
    - Safe mode is not running
    - System CD is not running
    - Apple Hardware Test is ok.
    - tried the newest 7300 firmware update
    - I have double checked the RAM, and HDD and disconnected all external equipment several times.
    System.log at startup ends with the folling permanent Problem:
    Previous Shutdown Cause:3
    NVDANV40HALG7xxx loaded and registered.
    DSMOS has arrived
    After running my Mac Pro in Target Mode (Fire Wire Connection with my MacBook Pro) I found the Problem-Folder of the 7300 GT:
    File:  HD/SYSTEM/LIBRARY/EXTENSIONS/NVDANV40HalG7xxx  inside my library and erased them......
    NOW MY SYSTEM IS RUNNING AGAIN, but I can't run my System-CDs without a kernel panic,
    Time Machine runs without the Starfleet-Background, and my second cinema display still doesn't work any more!
    After spending several hours in front of my Mac Pro I'm sure that all of my hardware works fine.
    NOW I THINK THE PROBLEM IS: I have to change my ROM-Version on my Nvidia GeForce 7300 GT and install the Firmware 3008.
    So how does it work and where can I get this Firmware? Or how can I run an Downgrade from 3011 to 3008?
    ANY IDEAS ....or similar cases?
    WOULD BE GLAD TO GET SOME HELP!!!!!

    Thanks Hatter
    I'm sure that an ATI 5770 would solve my Problem...and maybe I could save a lot of my time?
    But why I should spend 250 € on a new Graphic Board when the old one isn't broken?
    Especially when the problem wasn't caused by me.
    I need the old firmware, because my System runs with my GT 7300 after removing the software part listed above. Only one of the firmware components that had been updated won't fit in connection with the newer OS X Versions.
    I'm also sure that the Problem must be on the Graphic Board, because my System-CD isn't running while pushing the "c" button.
