ATI Radeon 9700 Pro (Original)

Just a little question; Why doesn't ATI Radeon 9700 Pro (Original) work properly with K8N Neo Platinum 1 and 2 ? At any of these mboards computer hangs on a reboot. It's not a deadly issue to me due to that i use the 9700-card on a computer that always is running. But have i maybe missed something ???

I had the same problem with my 9700 Pro (built by ATI) on the K8N Neo2. To resolve it, I upped my AGP voltage in BIOS to 1.6 volts. Worked fine then. I've since switched cards to a Leadtek 6600GT and leave the AGP voltage at 1.5 volts. It works fine so I think maybe it's an ATI/MSI problem. . Hope this helps.
Modoc.

MSI KT4 ULTRA-BFISR + Ati Radeon 9700 pro = not good??

Hello everybody!
First of all, i youst have to say that i think MSI have the best motherboards....
Here's the problem (i haven't buyed anything yet!):
I am going to buy MSI KT4 ULTRA-BFISR and ATI Radeon 9700 Pro, but i have read many places that Radeon aint working with MSI KT4-based cards! Im am going to buy an 520W Power (i aint so good in english so i hope you now what i write :D )
I am also going to buy 2 x Cosair pc3500 xms ram... Is this one working with the motherboard by the way?
But my question is: Will the Ati Radeon 9700 pro work with this card? (i must remember to buy the 1.3 version!) I am gonna get my Radeon 9700 pro from USA, how can i now when i order that is an 1.3 card?
Thank you for answering! :]

I think also that even there is two drivers, that is not a reaseon why it isn't work. One time I install only standard VGA drivers, but result was that I got two standard VGA driver. 8o
First time I try without VIA drivers, then with 4.42 and 4.43 VIA drivers. Result was almost same all the time, it always crash when Nature test start, but this exist also to older mobo (Abit KT7A-RAID). Problem exits few games they lock up or stuttering. Ati demos works fine, but one time that car demo stuttering a lot, but I transfer data at same, so I'm not sure what was reason.
This moment I don't have possibilities to try Hyperion 4.45 drivers or something else, because it's my friend computer.

ATI Radeon 9700 Pro - Power Supply too small?

I'm having a problem with my Powercolor 9700 Radeon Pro. My system will simply not power when i plug this video card in (no power supply start, no posting beeps, nothing).
The 9700 pro card I have will work fine on another PC that I have with a lesser power supply and lesser cpu so I know the card is ok. My Geforce3 card works fine in the new 865PE computer, so it seems the MSI board/AGP slot is ok.
I've tried unplugging all peripherals (HDDs, CD, DVD drives) and still no power up when the 9700 is plugged into the power supply.
My system consist of:
MSI 865PE Neo2 FISR(v1.7)
P4, 2.8, 800fsb
512MB Corsair XMS Twinx (2 256MB sticks)
2 HDD (Western Digital, 60 & 120GB)
DVD/CD drive
CD-RW drive
Soundblaster live
2 internal case fans
360w PS
Stats for power supply:
+5v - 35A
+12v - 17A
+3.3v - 28A
Bios settings:
CPU BUS (FSB) - 200
AGP Voltage - 1.5
PCI/AGP speed (PCI clock) - 66.33/33.33
PCI latency timer - 32
AGP setting - (if this is the 4x/8x setting, I can't find a way to change it)
APIC ACPI SCI IRQ - disabled
AGP aperature - 64MB
Dynamic overclocking - off
Performance mode - slow
hyperthreading - disabled
I've tried upping the AGP voltage to 1.6 and I have disabled cacheing.
I read that some folks have recommended setting the AGP down to 4x, although for the life of me, I cannot find a way to do that in bios or anywhere else.
Does this power supply sound acceptable? Do the 9700's draw their power off the 12v circuit? If this PS is weak, then what +12v amp. should I aim for?
Does anyone have any ideas of any of issues that might cause my system to not power up like this?
Thanks for any help!

Thanks for responding Sean,
I did try upping the AGP voltage to 1.6v while only having the the 9700 card attached to the power supply. Same result, no power-up what so ever.
The other computer's video drivers are were the standard windows vga drivers. I don't think that really is a problem since I can't get the computer/power supply to even come on, let alone load windows.
What baffles me is that I have a geforce3 agp card that works fine in the neo2, and the 9700 works fine in another computer. Other then the power supply, or a problem/setting with the mainboard, I can't imagine what the problem is. The thing is, I don't want to shell out $100 for a power supply until I know that'll fix it.
thanks

Would an ATI Radeon 9700 Pro driver work...

with it's mobile counterpart?

The fglrx driver should have some support for mobile chipsets. You'd have to try it to see if it includes yours, since there's been a lot of problems concerning naming inconsistencies between mobile and desktop GPUs. (the mobile 9500 may actually be the same chip as the desktop 9200 was a big one, although I'm not sure I have the numbers right!)

Ouch,
I feel bad for you - I also have the same mobo and want to get a Radeon 9700 - I think I had seen you posting well on Rage3d with the same config, what happened?
What I would try next is what some users have done as a possible workaround...It looks like the radeon 9700 on the MSI KT4 likes HIGH mobo fsb - so you might want to try unlocking your 1800 and run at 10.5x166 or lower multiplier with a 166fsb...
before going 166fsb, try right now to bump your fsb with fuzzy logic up to 140-150 and see if it changes anything and report - don't go to high passed 150 though if you don't have good air cooling - also, set at least 1.775 on the cpu vcore going after 140fsb...if this does not help, then you might want to try what I put above...
Also, increase your PCI Latency to 64 in the bios (default is 32) - this is no risk really, so try that as well...
**** Of course before overclocking with the fsb, turn off Spread Spectrum in the bios...
If you increase the fsb, you will also need to increase DDR vcore to 2.6 am recommending...I've done that with my KT4VL and worse for different purposes...
Also, you might want to increase agp voltage a bit and see if it changes anything...
You're not done yet - looks like some users were able to run the same config so you never know...
Be careful when you OC, if you're not sure - ask first and take your time
Put your ram on SPD setting in the bios when you start bumping that fsb....
If I can find the post, I will put it here but some KT4 user has to do this (increasing fsb) to get his 9700 to work great...
Hope this helps,
--fibo
Also, go and post to the amdforums msi, as there are quite a few msi kt4vl users there...

655max: video CRASH with agp 8x RADEON 9700 pro

Hi I own a 655max mobo and a radeon 9700 pro. I play games direct3d OK with agp 8x, but when I play Quake 3 Arena for about 15 to 30 min my video crash. I changed the agp 8x to 4x and everything works fine, but the framerate slow down seriously.

ok i just tried to do that kaigon and the strangest thing happened, my system will not respond or start up with radeon in now... it will however if i leave the supplemental power plug off of the radeon, it starts, then gives me the error telling em to connect it, then when i connect it and hit power...nothing. pop in my old gf2 and fires right up, i dont understand this at all especially because the first time i turned my system on was with the radeon, with supplemental poower plugged in. i tried everything i could think of in the BIOS to straighten this out, but nothing, any more help would be awesome! thanks.

that is suggesting to me either your PSU is failing, or it is a Poor PSU with over-optimistic amp ratings (eg Q-Tec). it will all appear to work fine on your older board, as that has lower power requirements, have a look in my sticky Is your problem caused by your PSU? for more info and advice.

Ok so heres my problem...a few months ago i noticed that the screen saver had frozen on my G4 mac
At the time i didn't think anything of it so i try to reboot but it wouldn't get any further than the "Blue" screen after weeks of trouble shooting, reading through logs and surfing what felt like 90% of the net i tracked it down to the "ATI Radeon9700 Extensions" in my system folder.
As you can see from above i have a "ATI Radeon 9800 PRO" and i presume that it runs off the 9700 drivers because there are no 9800 extenstions in the driver updates from ATI....
Anyway this is the strange bit ....if i boot up in "Safe Mode" and delete all the "ATI Radeon9700 Extenstions" below
ATIRadeon9700.kext
ATIRadeon9700DVDDriver.bundle
ATIRadeon9700GA.plugin
ATIRadeon9700GLDriver.bundle
ATIRadeon9700VADriver.bundle
Then trash...
Extensions.kextcache
Extensions.mkext
Then put a new copy of the "Radeon9700 Extensions" from the 10.4.8 upgrade back in, it boots fine.
These extensions come with the apple OS updates so everytime i upgrade the OS i have to go through the above steps again.
I am starting to think that the openGL capabilities of my card is fooked because the screensaver that im talking about is "Flurry" and it is really jerky now if i try to run it
I know that the SS users openGL
Also if i try and launch UT2k4 i get a crash log error of "unable to create pixel format.
This is what the boot up log looks like before i trash the extensions

ATI Radeon 9600 Pro / 256MB + Leopard

Hello i have problem to install correct my ATI Radeon 9600 Pro / 256MB. I Installed ATI Radeon 9600 Pro / 64 MB on my mac, because i could not install Logic Pro 8, and I Installed succesful. Install programm said by ATI Radeon 9600 Pro / 256MB that Quartz extreme are not supported, and I have 0 MB VRAM. That's not right. I Tried install update for ATi, after no display. I install Grafic update for OSX and the same. I was found that in system / Library / Extensions/ are ATI Radeon 9700.kext . When I delete this file i can run my Cinema 30'' display, but I cannot run Quartz Extreme. But this card are supported for Quartz extreme. When I put my old card
ATI Radeon 9600 Pro 64MB - is supported for Quartz Extreme but my display Cinema 30'' can only 1280 x 800. What can I do ?

Das Problem ist gefunden. Der Mac wurde 2003 gekauft, und wie viele von dieser Serie waren Motherboard fehlerhaft. Ich habe 2 davon. Die Motherboards waren dann 2004 ausgetauscht zu unterschiedlichen Zeiten. Der 1. in April andere November. Dann war alles scheintbar O.K.
Erst jetzt haben wir gesehen durch den Austausch von Grafikkarten das etwas nicht stimmt.
ES WAR MOTHERBOARD DIE FEHLERHAFT IST. In 2. G5 von 2003 geht die Karte einfach wunderbar. Ich hofe das Ich damit helfe den Tausenden da draussen die gleiche Problem haben vor allem in Apple forum, und keiner hat Lösung.
Vielen Dank an die Firma Colormatch - die Jungs sind einfach Klasse Schlau.

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.

What is the correct installation sequence for my ATI Radeon 9800 PRO MAC AGP 128MB into my Quicksilver 867 G4?

Hi.
I just got my used ATI Radeon 9800 PRO MAC AGP 128MB card.
What is the correct installation sequence into my Quicksilver 867 G4 running 10.4.11 on one drive 10.5 on another?
The original NVIDIA GeForce2 MX - 32MB SDRAM went bust.
Is the driver build in 10.4?
Do I remove the old driver?
If I need to install the driver that came with it, (10.3.6) should the card be installed first?
What about firmware updates?
Thank you for all your time and patience.
W.W.

I think it's the card, but here are some files that may affect it...

KT4 Ultra +Radeon 9700 Pro Trouble Free !

After a few months of relatively trouble free gaming with KT4 Ultra and Radeon 9700 Pro, I was shocked to find recently that my PC began to crash after only a few minutes of gameplay. 8o
Believing that a reinstall of all the relavent drivers would cure the problem, I set about trawling through the latest advice on what works / doesnt work. This I have to say was a minefield of anecdotes, mainly bad ones - as most of you guys are probably aware !
After installing drivers as 'best' I could, the problem remained the same.
It would appear that to ask for a complete list of recommended drivers is futile, since there is little correlation between reported 'fixes'. There is always someone reporting that the latest versions are causing problems.
For the moment, this tale has a happy ending cos I found that the system is getting too hot (after some months !), so with the side panel off and a 12 inch desk fan blowing inside I managed a 4 hour session with now problems. )
The purpose of the post is to highlight the disturbing fragility of these systems (which i'm sure many of you have first hand experince), both in hardware and software and to share my disbelief at the apparent lack of sustained testing that these boards undergo.
Looks like a better cooling system is in order

It's unfortunate that most of the new hardware seems to pump out heat. The ATI 9700 pro use about 100W of power on it's own. The whole system puts out enough heat to warm a small room.
I have noticed that the heatsink on the ATI card gets very hot, even though it has a fairly serious fan on it (the fan on my Sapphire card is a lot like a blue orb).
I am wondering if a lot of problems with these setups are thermal. I have the KT4 Ultra and ATI 9700 pro and it has not given problems at all.
I have (from past experience) installed plenty of cooling in my case (a full tower, that helps too). I find that the cooler everything as kept, the less problems there are.
I think that at some stage in the near future there will have to be a change somewhere. Either in heat output (reduction in power use) or cooling.

OpenGL 2 drivers for ATI Radeon X600 Pro ?

Help!
I play Second Life, and their latest upgrade 1.14.0 which is about to become compulsory is expecting drivers for OpenGL 2, and this version definitely has big problems with the ATI Radeon X600 Pro video card in my iMac G5 iSight, and will make the game virtually unplayable, and mess up my inworld businesses there.
Since this card is not listed on the ATI site, I guess we have to wait for Apple to update drivers. Are they going to soon, or do we have to wait for Leopard?
I thought Leopard was first quarter, that leaves one day left lol.

This is a fresh OS install on an external HD from my original 10.4.2 disks, and then Software Updated to 10.4.9. There are no outstanding software updates.
From System Profiler:
OpenGL:
Version: 1.4.7
Last Modified: 01/10/2005 05:13
Get Info String: OpenGL 1.4.7.14.0
And yet I have seen Core Duo Macs list OpenGL 2. Is there a problem with the Updater, or can a 14 month old iMac G5 with ATI Radeon X600 Pro not be updated to OpenGL 2?

KT3 Ultra with Radeon 9700 Pro

KT3 Ultra with Enermax 350 W Whisper Quiet Power Supply will not boot up with new Radeon 9700 Pro video card, but it works fine with Radeon 7500. :(

What are your rails on your power supply.
+12v, 3.3, and 5v.
12 v = 17 A
3.3 = 32 A
5 v = 32 A
3.3 & 5 = 185 W ?(

Radeon 9700 pro problem with Far Cry game

When I playing far cry at High Deatils, after 5 minutes game will crashing, and i got graphic error message
I have Last update of official ati driver , and i tried OMEGA unofficial driver;
but problem still running.
Sys. Spcs.
Mobo MSI 865 Neo 2 P
CPU P4 3GHz HT
RAM 4x256 dual channel
Graphic Card Radeon 9700 pro 128MB/128Bit
PSU 480 Watt.

Game crashing could be caused by few problems, could be software or hardware. Assuming we're looking into hardware, I suggest you run MEMTEST for your RAM and see if your RAM is defected. Other than that, I can't think of any reason than power supply. But you stated you have a 480 W which should be sufficient. It could be a known problem with ATI on Far Cry? But if this's the case, ATI should be able to deal with it via Driver Update.
If it's software, this is broad. Does Far Cry have any patch?
