ATI Radeon HD 5750 1GB -- Good for GIS?

Looking for new Mac workstation to run QuantumGIS, considering 27-inch 3.2GHz with upgraded graphics and 8GB RAM.
Are owners of iMac with ATI Radeon HD 5750 1GB impressed with graphics performance?
Anyone else going GIS work on an iMac?

That Radeon card is MORE than powerful enough for GIS.

  • Compatible video card upgrade for my ATI Radeon HD 5750 with 1GB of GDDR5 memory, iMac 27 " mid 2010 2.93 GHz

  • ATI Radeon HD 4870 1GB for Mac Pro 2.66 Quad Core Xenon

    I have the option of picking up an ATI Radeon HD 4870 1 GB graphics card to go with my soon-to-be-new MAc Pro 2.66 Quad core. I see know that Apple can upgrade to ATI Radeon HD 4870 512MB, but that card is not available to me at the moment. Will the 1GB do the job without overheating the system? Am new to the Mac Pros. Need it for the Windows gaming portion of the system. Am using the rest for graphics and photography.

    If the MAc Pro 2.66 comes with Snow Leopard, why would I have to upgrade my OS?
    OK. So, if got the MAc version, it would work A-OK without overheating?
    Thanks for your input!

  • How can I update ati radeon hd 5750 1024 mb on my mac os lion 10.7.5

    How can I update my grafic card Ati Radeon 5750 1024 mb ? I recently updated my Aerofly 5 sim software , which now does not work because ,so I am told , the grafic card has to be updated ! Thanks for any help .

    You cannot change the graphics card, and Mac OS X 10.7.5 has the latest drivers available for your system. The system requirements for Aerofly state that they only support the 5770 of the 57xx series, not the 5750, so there may be nothing you can do, though you can ask in their forums and see if anyone there can offer a workaround.
    Regards.

  • 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.

  • Is there a ATI Radeon HD 5770 Graphic card for 2-monitor use?

    Hi, I just purchased a ATI Radeon HD 5770 Graphics Upgrade Kit for Mac Pro only to discover that there is only one VGI port for a monitor. I have been using two monitors for Final Cut work since I bought my MacPro tower in 2006. I need this new card to work with fxfactory 'pan and zoom' as a plug-in in Final Cut Studio. Does anyone know if Apple makes one with two VGI ports?
    Thanks very much, Bob

    What is VGI?
    If you mean VGA - VGA is a VERY old connection type and the 5770 does not have a VGA port.
    Do you mean DVI?
    The card has a dual link DVI and two mini DisplayPorts. If you mean you need a second DVI connection, get a Mini DisplayPort to DVI connector from Apple or a 3rd party converter supplier.

    Some help would be great. I've been searching for weeks. Running 10.9.5

    Changing your hardware just for some raytraced 3D text that has all sorts of quality an performance issues? Pardon me, but that's just not smart. For that money you really could simply go out and buy a proper 3D program and learn it or plug-ins like Invigorator Pro or Element 3D. That aside, the 3D raytracer is now deprecated and won't receive much more love. Cineware is the new kid in town. Also the raytracer never will use any AMD GPU tech since it's built on nVidia's CUDA. Mr. kopriva has reiterated that point in his recent post:
    http://blogs.adobe.com/aftereffects/2013/12/top-after-effects-feature-requests-2013.html
    As it stands, you really should just forget the whole thing and move on. Otherwise of course you can of course your the raytracer in CPU-only mode, but it will feel like molasses.

  • ATI Radeon HD 3870 Graphics Card for Mac debuts

    http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,147040-c,graphicsboards/article.html
    AMD on Thursday announced the ATI Radeon HD 3870 for Mac and PC Edition. The new card is expected to ship at the end of June for US$219.
    The card works in the PCI Express slots of both first-generation and second-generation Mac Pro systems, and features 512MB of 256-bit GDDR4 frame buffer memory and 320 stream processors. It's designed as a graphics upgrade for Mac Pros -- even those that may have come equipped with the Nvidia GeForce 8800 card introduced earlier this year. AMD claims its new Radeon card runs faster and costs less than the GeForce 8800 GT, which is only available from the Apple Store and costs $279.
    The graphics processor can crank up to 70 gigabytes per second bandwidth using a 775MHz engine. That translates, according to AMD's internal benchmarks, into *30 to 180 percent better performance in Apple's Motion 3 software than the GeForce 8800*; slow Motion performance has been an Achilles' heel of Nvidia's rival card since its introduction.
    http://ati.amd.com/products/radeonhd3800/macpc/index.html

    Rob has it benchmarked:
    http://www.barefeats.com/harper16.html
    I'm going to definitely buy this as soon as it's online. I'll order it through Rob's link too to reward him for all the work he's done on this issue.
    Now, how about a refund on my GeForce 8800 upgrade, Apple?

  • Ati radeon hd 5750

    Crossfire bridges are supplied with the mainboard. If you don't have one, you can use any Crossfire bridge cable.

  • ATI Radeon X800 XT or ATI Radeon 9600 Pro Mac Edition for 30" display

    I currently have the ATI Radeon 9600 Pro installed in my G5 2.0 DP and it is running my 30" display, but I am having some isssues when I play DVD's the pictures seems to skip every few seconds like it isn't playing fast enough, or it hesitates. I bought the ATI Radeon X800 XT and wanted to know if that would be a better card before I switch it out.

    The X800 is a faster card but DVD playback doesn't put much load on the card, so the X800 probably won't help. If it skipping on more than one DVD, the DVD drive is probably having problems. Cleaning the lens ay help.

  • Ati radeon 9800 pro 256 mb for older G5s?

    So I just bought one of these on eBay for like $250 (the mac editions are still pretty pricey), and I install it into my AGP slot... it supplies power to the monitor, but nothing appears on the screen. I brought it to my local Mac store, and they said it's probably the card itself. Does anyone know if these cards are compatible with the 2003 release of the G5s (2.0 ghz)
    Here is the card:
    http://shop.ati.com/product.asp?sku=3170663
    and here is my computer:
    http://support.apple.com/specs/powermac/PowerMacG5.html
    Please someone tell me that I'm not being an absolute moron here, this is driving me insaaaane.

    I recently bought this same card for my MDD G4 and it does not work, beware of ebay video cards.
    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=015&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT &viewitem=&item=250095195499&rd=1&rd=1
    I installed this card, and shortly after power up I have strange blue vertical lines on my display and after about 4-5 minutes of use I have strange error pixels dancing across my screen before multiplying and covering the entrie screen followed shortly after by a black screen. Upon power down and case opening this card is very very hot. I am currently investigating the fan on the card, perhaps replacing it since it is very cheap, then asking for a refund and filing a complaint/petition on ebay.
    Anyone else have a simlar story?

  • 10.6.4 / iMac ATI Radeon HD 5750 graphics bugs

    Once again, ATI drivers suck, this time my new iMac has clearly visible artifacts that make pretty much any game unplayable. I'd attach a screenshot except you can't here.

    I think I've the same problem.

  • Any updates on the ATI Radeon HD 5870 upgrade kit for Mac Pro 2009/2010?

    So,
    while the card is shipping without delay in new BTO Mac Pro units, there still is no sign of the kit posted on on the online store months ago (day/date with current Mac Pro release). To date, the card hasn't shipped (to anyone - no 3rd party store has received it), Apple still shows 'currently unavailable' - without even an 'add to cart' button (like the Quadro 4000); and even AppleCare is in the dark (you'd assume they can send units for replacement. Yet, while they can be setup in the GSX system, there is apparently no 'cost' shipments available even from support).
    I suppose not - but does anyone have any more insight into what's going on here? This looks suspiciously like this card is not going to see the light of day as an upgrade kit; for either 2010 or 2009 Mac Pro.....
    Cheers,
    Dan

    Ugh.
    That rhymes with what we are seeing.
    After about a week of there being an 'order' button for the 5870 (it remained 'currently unavailable' though), the 'add to cart' option has, today, disappeared again. I assume anyone who ordered the card during the window will not see the card, and there seem to have been no purchase confirmations (usually sent within 15 minutes of processing) sent to anyone who ordered.
    All this, as well as you report, points to the 5870 being EOL; apparently only a contingent was made for the Mac Pro, and now even AppleCare is running down on inventory for replacements.
    That begs the question; once inventory runs out - assuming it does - to even supply the Mac Pro BTO, there has to be some replacement ready; assumingly something with better yield.
    BTW - the 5870 cards for the Mac Pro are made by AMD (they are identical to the reference boards), and are stamped as such in Mac Pros. Whatever Apple does with them, they still get them from AMD, not a third party....
    And, the Quadro 4000 isn't a good replacement - apart from the cost (which is reasonable for a productivity card) as for non-optimized apps (i.e. users that would usually buy a 5870) it'll likely be much slower due to the low clock and memory speed on the card. And, WOW isn't CUDA aware
    Oh well

  • ATI HD 3870 now no good for FCPX.1

    Wow,
    Was pretty excited yesterday when I saw the new update come out. Was already to install on my MP and did a little research before I did, thank
    God. I guess my existing card, which worked perfectly for me on FCPX.0 is no longer acceptable. My question is, what is NOW the best card to use with
    FCPX.1. MacPro, 2.8 Quad Core, 14 gig ram.

    That's the list of compatible cards.

  • Is the ATI Radeon X1900 xtMac G5 only for dual cores?

    I have an old G5 single and I was wondering if this card could be used with it.

    Yes, that card (more accurately the X1900GT - the XT was for the Mac Pro only) is a PCI Express card, and only the dual core (Late 2005) G5s have those slots.
