Ati radeon 9200 mac edition pci on my powermac g5

hi rencently bought this card and was wondering if anyone has any experience on this card. is it faster then the stock agp card in the g5? i have tried this on my g4 qs and it actually made everything slower as it was pci. would pci-x be better? thanx all!

Hi, You had me going there for a minute.
I then looked into the specs on this card at NewEgg.
Dude, it's a 39 dollar card, vs a 5-6 hundred card.
Seems very odd you would down grade a fine high end machine.
I just spent all night researching cards, till I finally found it.
The one I plan on is water cooled, and $800.
If it fits. I haven't verified if it's Mac attack grade.

Installed ATI Radeon 9800 Mac Edition and know QT Pro 7.1.1 has error's

I have a G4/1.2ghz (OWC Mercury 1.2ghz Processor Card Upgrade)
I added a ATI 9800 Mac Edition a couple of weeks ago so I could contiue using Apple's iLife and now when I try to open a QT movie it sends me to
Apple's QT 3rd party updates and I don't have any idea of which or any plug in I need at this point I have updated my card with ATI's January 2005 update and
all is well except for the QT movie I'm trying to play which is in .avi format and I do know that QT Pro doesn't play some .avi movies but this one played before the installation of the ATI Video Card ?

I don't know how it is related, but I, too added a 9800 Mac Edition to a G4 Gigabit. Worked great for about 2 weeks, then it began freezing during 3D graphic games... StarWars Battlefront is way addictive.
When I finally got around to testing, I found I could no longer convert .avi to dvd through Toast 7. I had also updated to Tiger with QT 7.1
The freezing seems to be related to the power supply. While every indication was that my PSU was over 300watts. Apple now says that at that time they measured power in Amps, just because... hey why don't you buy a new mac....
I am sourcing out a replacement supply and am temporarily back on my original rage 128 card.
I wonder out loud, I have the guts of a few external hadr drive cases, that have a similar power connection. Can one of them be used to power the card.
Does the video card absolutly have to be powered by the internal power supply...?

G4/QS 128 radeon 9200 mac edition & 24" monitor

Hello everyone!I just bough a 24" samsung lcd/tft display.I have the radeon 9200/128 agp card.This card is the PC version,flashed to work in the G4.When I 'm playing a tv show i downloaded and when i choose full screen the black seems to have bloches of purple and small amounts of green.But when i stand back a little it looks more black.When i play it at normal size it looks great.Do i need a bigger and better card to play it on full screen mode? Thanks,John

I think you may have been a little confused by my suggestion...I was not suggesting that you change your monitor setting to 640 x 480 +and leave it+. For example, my monitor is at 1680 x 1050 when I run all my apps and whatnot. When I watch movies, I simply open the movie I want to watch, then change the resolution of my display to the appropriate size and then enter full screen mode in the player. Trust me, the movie will look much much better. Then after I'm done, I switch back to the normal resolution.
This is why the movie looks so good at normal size-it is running at it's native resolution. You need to change your monitor's resolution to that which is the resolution of whatever video it is that you are watching if you want full quality. Yes, this means that there is an unwanted step of changing resolutions back and forth whenever you want to watch videos. But it is worth it if you want to get full quality.
One suggestion if you decided to use this method-if you go to the displays pane in system prefs, there is an option to "show displays in menu bar". If this box is checked, a little monitor icon will be placed in the menu bar to the left of the time. This menu will make it much easier to switch between resolutions you often flip between, so you don't have to constantly open the system prefs window. In the bottom of the menu, there is an option to change the number of recent items so you can have even more resolutions that you use often stored there. It makes changing resolutions much quicker. =)
Trust me this will work - I do it whenever I am watching movies.

? to buy - ATI RADEON X800 Mac Edition

Hello,
I'd like to buy one of these to power a 30" display on a dual G5.
Anyone heard of where they are available?
thanks,

Steve
I had purchased the X800 XT MAC and unfortunately recieved a defective unit (it happens) anyway got the rma and returned it to ATI/AMD they provided me with another card (1 week turnaround) it too was defective and wouldnt allow my G5 to boot even!! Yikes!! So I returned the unit to Microcenter (where I purchased the unit) and I am in the process of getting my money back (home office is issuing a check so I must wait 10 business days to get the check). So I like you must now wait to get my 30 inch to where it is really useable.
Unfortunately there are no other options really as the X800 XT MAC is available for AGP and supports the 30 inch (dual link DVI) and has a max resolution of 2048 x 1536 verses the 30 inch at 2560 x 1600 resolution as I have researched this quite exhaustively. Its apparent AGP isnt the future (obviously) and Nvidia Quadro FX at 1600 bucks is clearly outside my budget.
Perhaps someone else knows something different. Do shop around as I paid around 300 bucks for mine, however understand the wait limitations you face once you get that price and note some retailers are discontinuing availability of the unit itself for whatever reason (support may be an issue). Some places are even asking 389 bucks!!
Thanks for letting me know about the 9800 as well. Kinda regretting getting the 30 incher now!!!!

ATI Radeon 9200 and Mac OS X 10.5?

I just bought this card (ATI Radeon 9200 Mac Edition - 128MB), installed the available drivers (for Mac OS X 10.4, according to ati.com) and firmware update, but the graphics are horrible. In World of Warcraft, it's running at 5 FPS at lowest graphic-settings in the game. Even the Finder is having trouble.
Doesn't this card work under Mac OS X 10.5?
I tried to contact ATI, but I haven't heard from them yet. So I'd like to hear, if anyone have the same issues as me.

Hi-
The 9200 has a core clock speed of 250mhz. Since it resides in a PCI slot, there is no multiplier, and the results are less than spectacular (as you found out). The 9200 is really meant more for adding multiple monitors, rather than adding performance.
The FX 5200(?) that came in your G5 also has a core clock speed of 250mhz, but with the 8x AGP slot, it benefits from the multiplier of the AGP, and operates much faster (though the 5200 isn't really a performance card). More on AGP.
If you are really serious about your gaming, you will need the ATI Radeon X800XT. Here are some Benchmarks. More OEM Benchmarks.
You might want to consult with OWC as to the possibility of exchange of the 9200 for an X800..... The 9600 may also be a consideration, though it is only a mid range performer.

PM QS 933 w/ ATI Radeon 9200 Card: Picture rolls vertical line on TV Output

Has anyone who uses an ATI Radeon 9200 Mac video card with s-video out ,
when connecting it to your TV, do you see vertical picture rolls?
I've tried installing Switch Res X to see if that would fix the issue,
however it only address Monitor and not TV resolution.
Is this a drawback of the card, or is there a way to tweak it so it
can display without the picture constantly rolling from bottom to top
the faded white line on picture?

The way I have it setup is thusly:
ATI Radeon 9200 Mac Card is set in PCI slot, no other monitor cards exist.
S-VHS little yellow adapter (S-VHS to RCA) plugged into S-VHS slot,
then three way ( Video, Stereo Audio) RCA cable is plugged into that
running directly into AUX RCA front ports of TV.
Picture Quality, Audio Quality is great. Color and Luminance is great.
Only problem is when picture plays from Mac to TV, a faint ghosted
( 10%- 15%) veritical white stripe rolls from top to bottom to
and then again.
Funny thing is...I inserted a DVD Recorder between the Mac and the TV to
see if I could record it so I could make a screen grab of the recording
to post here for everyone, but the recording shows NO VERTICAL LINE ROLL.
So my guess is that it is in the TV. I could try swapping out TVs,
but since all my TVs are analog, ( and 32") I don't and can't afford
to switch to an LCD of the same size right now, and if it is a bug
in the card's way of synching to a TV, esp. Analog, then it would repeat
the process.
I also looked on ATI/AMD's website, nothing in its' FAQ or Support DB.
I plan on trying to call them if I can't figure this out.

ATI Radeon 9600 Mac & PC Edition will not work with leopard

When I installed a new ATI Radeon 9600 Mac & PC Edition, 256MB; my Dual 2 GHz G5 (June 2004) will not allow me to drive my Apple Cinema Display while running under leopard, (neither 10.5.1 or 10.5.2 with Leopard Graphics Update).
The mac starts up as usual and gets to the white screen with Apple logo -then the progress ring eventually stalls. The mouse pointer becomes visible and can be moved freely around this screen.
I can connect from other macs on the network and navigate files, but screen sharing results in an all black window.
The Radeon 9600 works fine if I start up the mac with the Tiger installation disk.
I have tried every suggestion that I could find on these boards and elsewhere: zapped the pram, reset the SMU, installed older ATI Drivers, etc...
Of course the G5 is far out of warranty. I've been running Leopard since the day it shipped - so that's out of warranty now, and there is little help to be found on the ATI/AMD website. I'm afraid I'll have to return the card before Apple releases another graphics update.
The stock graphics card that came with this mac is the nVIDIA 64MB GeForce FX 5200 - but it's having trouble keeping up with Leopard's demands - my isight barely works, most special effects in iChat and PhotoBooth are unusable, and of course I'm not given the option to use a transparent menu bar,
I am really good at swapping video cards in the G5 now - but I'm so frustrated.
Does anyone else have any suggestions?
thanks

Mac Pro & ATI Radeon 9200 graphics card

I just bought a new Mac Pro but upon set-up I realized that I couldn't use my existing Apple monitor that has a ADC connection. I would have to buy the Apple DVI to ADC Adapter. Instead of doing this, could I take the ATI Radeon 9200 out of my old Quicksilver and put it in the new Mac Pro? This older video card has the right kind of connection that I need for this monitor. I could put it in and try but thought I would ask before I did just in case it is not compatible.

The Apple adapter will work for a LCD with ADC, but not for a CRT.

There are no ADC graphics cards that will work in a Mac Pro.

ATi Radeon 9200 Graphics card??

I'm looking into getting the ATI radeon 9200 128mb for my old Power Mac G4 dual 500 gigabit ethernet, however I am a little confused. I'm pretty sure the card is PCI, and of course my Power Mac is AGP, 2x I believe. Does this mean that it is not compatible with my Power Mac? If it is, would I have to install it on a pci slot instead of the AGP slot? Would the performance suffer because of this? Thanks.
-Aaron

You will notice a big difference between the 9200 PCI card and the 9800 AGP.
The 9800 is a lot better than the 9200 series to start with and there is also a big difference between the AGP and PCI bus.
Just bear in mind that the 9800 comes with a molex power cable so that it can be plugged into a hard drive power source. They do suck a bit more juice and can cause problems with smaller PSUs like the Sawtooths have.

ATI Radeon 9200 Drivers

I just purchased an ATI Radeon 9200 off of eBay for cheap to run on my Dual 2.0GHz PowerMac G5 (it's in the PXI-X slot). But the Mac won't see it and I can't find the right driver. Can somebody tell me where I can find them, if they exist, or if this card even works for my PowerMac? Thanks so much!

Is it the Mac or PC version?
There was a Mac-only version of that card. It was labeled the ATI Radeon Mac Edition 9200. Any other brand that ATI on a 9200 makes it not a Mac card. The "Mac Edition" part is critiacl but was only on the box.
This is a pretty primitive card. It was relased in the transtion time between OS9 and OSX and seemed to suffer from idenity issues. I have one and the OSX support seemed rushed. The card could not even support Quartz Extreme--a basic OSX video technology--without a hack that caused as many problems as it cured.
AMD wiped out the archived Mac drivers when the bought ATI. You might try third-party collections of drivers. Google "old computer drivers" to see a long list.
I hate to say it but I think you bought the wrong card.

Can i use an apple display with an ati radeon 9200?

so, i have an old mac (bw g3 w/ g4 upgrade) and an old crt monitor (power computing 17"). the monitor is showing it's age and looks like it has maybe a month left.
i can't afford a new mac right now as much as i would love to get an imac. but i will need a monitor so my question is can i buy/use an apple 20" monitor with my ati radeon 9200 video card?
thanks

My Mac mini (according to my system profile) has that same graphics card and it runs the monitor just fine, can get a bit choppy with Expose but thats neither here or there.
Im not sure where in the world you live but in the UK a 20" ACD is almost the same money as a 17" iMac, that way you get your dream pc and a nice new Widescreen display.
Hope you enjoy whatever you choose.

Any way to motion with ATI Radeon 9200

Hi
I have the old mac mini g4, and I know I have all of the correct requirements for the program Motion except for the graphics card which is I think, ATI Radeon 9200. Is there abseolutely any way of getting it to run onmy computer. (Hack or not! Don't care!)
Thanks...

Heya,
Not sure what that bit about needing a 256MB card is...my PowerBook G4 with a 64MB card works well enough. The real requirement is a card that supports pixel shaders (how Motion does its image processing). Apple's GPU checker utility (found on the Motion page) will tell you if your GPU can do pixel shaders.
Having a second monitor that doesn't support pixel shaders can cause some wackiness. If you keep the Canvas and Inspector windows off the secondary (unsupported) display, you'll probably be OK. But if Motion has to draw anything on the unsupported display, the card can't do it. It might crash, draw garbage, or even collapse the universe.
OK, not that last one.

Radeon 7500 Mac Edition Quicksilver 2001

I have installed a Radeon 7500 Mac Edition video card in my 2001 Quicksilver. This card was an option in the 2002 Quicksilver. I am having problems installing OSX software and notice that Mac warns that it may be necessary to install the original graphics card for installation. I no longer have my original card.
Is the 7500 compatible with my machine? In general the card works fine with my dual moniotrs but I do have problems running iChat with frequent freezes and dropped service.
If the 7500 is not a good choice for my machine what should I buy for dual monitor support and Mac compatibility?

Hi,
The 7500 Mac Edition is kind of an oddball. Good card, but ATI doesn't support it with Mac Drivers. You can download the latest Radeon Universal Driver ROM's from here;
https://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894&task=knowledge&folder ID=27
Run the program and see if it helps.
If not, depending on budget, I'd get an ATI 9800 Pro Mac Edition, either the 128MB or 256MB. You will then have the best video card available for a G4, the QS will handle it just fine. I just noticed that Newegg.com has the 256MB available for $199 after rebate, a deal -for the best.
Regards,
Dave

Radeon 7000 Mac Edition

Just got my Radeon 700 64MB Mac Edition, and I am already frustrated of installing it in my B&W.
Up to last week I could play DVD's without a flaw, that's with the old ATI Rage 128, without (first) and with (after) the DVD decoder card.
I have followed the instructions for the installation to the slightest detail:
- Downloaded latest drivers and ATI Displays from ATI, and installed them;
- switched off my beloved B&W, and pulled the plug from the powerpoint;
- installed the card (50 seconds, probably....);
Machine did not startup properly, but eventually I managed to start.
Now the card works, but with the following flaws:
- DVD's are sluggish. I can manage to play them, but whenever the DVD
player controls are on the screen, the playback gets choppy. This did
not happen with the Rage 128, at all.
- Startup: before the screen gets blue, the spinning cursor just under the
grey Apple stops spinning, which is something that never happened with
the old card.
- Starting from the DW CD (Jaguar 10.2.3), only starts in black and white,
meaning that hardly anything is visible on the screen.
Am I doing anything wrong? I read and heard of other users (many) with the
same type of card installed in Beige and B&W G3 machines, and working happily.
Can anyone help?
thanks guys

When your Mac does not start up properly after pulling the plug, you should be suspicious of a bad PRAM backup battery.
