ATI Radeon HD 5770_MacPro 1,1_Expansion Slot Utility_How do I use this?
I have just installed a ATI Radeon HD 5770 card in my MacPro 1,1 and everything seems to work just fine, but the Expansion Slot Utility popped up and says it's running below maximum speed. How do I use this?
We would have no idea on this forum, this is an iMac forum. I'd suggest posting to the Mac Pro forum.

HT4664 Can I upgrade my ATI Radeon HD 2600?
Here are my specs.
Is it possible for me to upgrade my ATI Radeon HD 2600? I want to try out FCP X, Compressor and Motion also.
And if so what would be the best way to get my OS and graphics card up to speed? I appreciate yoiur reply. I'm also at Lion 10.6.8
Since I have other important software I haven't wanted to upgrade the OS but I will if I like the new FCP.

256 MBHi thanks for responding.
I downloaded the 30 day trial version and it will not let me open FCP X. Everytime I attempt to open the trial version I get a message that says,
"This system does not meet the minimum system requirements for graphics cards. For more information on minimum system requirements, visit the Tech Specs page on the Final Cut Pro website."
When I look at the specs for FCP X, I don't see the ATI Radeon 2600 as a graphics card that can be used by FCP X. That's why I'm looking to upgrade, at least my graphics card for starters. -
Kernel Panic Since ATI Radeon HD 5770 was installed
Hi
I have a Mac Pro 3,1. I recently installed ATI Radeon HD 5770 card powering 2 x Apple Cinema Displays. I also have 2 x ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT pwering 2 17" non Apple monitors.
Since installing the 5770, the Mac has regular kernel panics - at least once a day, sometimes several times. The Cinema Diplays which go blank - the other 2 just freeze. I've captured the log form the most recent one - pasted below. I'd appreciate any advice from any clever people!
Thanks
Ben

I have had another one today. Here is the problem report:

Alternatives to ATI Radeon X1900 XT 512 MB
Hi Guys,
I'm pretty sure my ATI Radeon X1900 XT 512 MB graphics card has failed...
I run MacPro1,1 (2008) Dual-Core Intel Xeon with 2 x 23-inch DVI Apple Cinema Displays. Tonight only one of the screens would wake from sleep - the screen in port 2.
I've tried...
1. Swapping the DVI cables, this results in the non waking screen waking and the waking screen, not waking.
2. Tried running just one screen off DVI port 1 and nothing happened, blank screen but power light on.
3. Tried running same screen off DVI port 2 and still nothing happened, blank screen but power light on.
To re-cap - None of the DVI ports work on their own and only Port 2 works when both screens are plugged in.
So... is there any other tests or checks I can do to confirm 100% it's a faulty card? I've unplugged and done the SMC reset.
Secone part to this - if the card is shot can anyone recommend an upgrade to the ATI Radeon X1900 XT 512 MB?
Thanks
PeteYou could use a Mini-DisplayPort to DVI adaptor on one of the ports, I would think. Otherwise, you don't have two many choices. You might look for a used ATI 4870, Mac Edition model. It's performance will be similar to the 5770 since the 2006 MP only has PCI-e 1.0 slots so the 5770 can't take advantage of it's capabilities if installed in a PCI-e 2.0 slot.
Other cards that will work include the older Nvidia 8800 GT for Mac. You must be sure with these other cards that you look for the ones that are compatible with a Mac Pro. These were the ones made specifically for Apple. Non-Apple cards will not work unless you have the hardware, ability, and knowledge to re-flash ROMs. -
Is it better to have two ati radeon HD 5770 or one ATI radeon HD 5870 for video editing?
Is it better to have two ati radeon HD 5770 or one ATI radeon HD 5870 for video editing? I'm basing this question based on the current options when configuring a Mac Pro. Currently there are three options
ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB
Two ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB [Add $250.00]
ATI Radeon HD 5870 1GB [Add $200.00]
Between the second and third options I am wondering which will provide a better more productive experience for video editing. Such as using FCP or FCPX. I know how many monitors that are in use will affect the answer to this questions. While I'm more focused on which option will deliver a better video editing experience, lets just say for argument sakes that the Mac Pro is running a 30" cinema display and a small generic monitor. About 18". Its an older VGA monitor for web development.
I hope thats enough info to get an answer on this subject.
ThanksYa in my research of this question, I came across this whole issue of Mac not being able to use CrossFire. I didn't thorugly investigate what this CrossFire issue was, but if it makes more sense with the singel 5870 rather than the 2 5770 then thats helpful to know.
If the Mac can't make the most out of two 5770 because it doesn't make use of CrossFire, it seems silly that Apple even bothers to offer it as an option. Plus its cheaper with the singel 5870 versus two 5770. Unless you really needed to run several monitors.
Thanks. This satisfies a long curiousity I have had. -
Ati, radeon, fglrx, catalyst, ???
I am converting one of my boxes to Arch. it has an older ATI Radeon card (7500, I think). I have always used the "radeon" driver.
pacman finds no "radeon" driver--only "radeonhd". Some quick digging--including here--finds discussion of "catalyst" as the replacement for "fglrx".
But---what is the replacement for "radeon"? And, if "radeonhd" is not it, then what is "radeonhd"
Also----is it true that the ATI Radeon requires "dri" to be loaded? Both my other boxes use Nvidia, and dri is not used.pixellany wrote:Thanks--in the interim I loaded that and setup to use "ati". I did not notice if it loaded "radeon" also.
Anyway, now it's working....
Yes, it did load "radeon" also--which I am now using.
Anyone know what "radeonhd" is? -
Windows Won't Read my ATI Radeon HD 2400
Hello,
First, I'd like to point off that I'm a moron. So, please speak to me like I am one.
So, I'm on my 3rd or 4th Boot Camp installation on this iMac. Meaning, I've had Boot Camp installations for a period of time, and for some reason or another decided to repartition and reinstall.
This time around I've had huge amounts of difficulties, and the only reason I'm doing this is to play a couple games (I hate windows so much).
Usually once Windows is finally installed, Boot Camp Drivers solves all my problems. But, this time around I've had huge issues with Windows having the correct drivers for my hardware.
My biggest issue right now that I can't seem to solve, windows doesn't see my graphics card? I put a question mark on that because Windows confuses me and I never know what I'm looking at.
I have an ATI Radeon HD 2400 graphics card that came built in to this 2 ghz Intel Dual Core 2 Duo iMac. I've download the latest ATI 10.2 Legacy driver package, and it says that it doesn't work on my system configuration.
I play a game called League of Legends that says it "can't load direct3d" which is a bad thing I guess. Since I've never had that issue.
I've attached my DXDiag which I just learned how to do today.
Also, I'm running 32bit Windows XP which I just noticed only shows I have 3GB of RAM installed when I have 4GB RAM on my imac. Will i see a performance issue if I upgrade to 64bit Windows XP?It isn't a true discreet desktop graphic card. And it is more akin to the mobility.
When you have an All-in-one you have more of a notebook motherboard is all.
Laptop2go is one place.
Sometimes uninstalling the program and driver, followed by a restart, let Windows detect the hardware and install its driver (can't hurt) then try Laptop2go or AMD Mobility. Whatever works.
XP graphic drivers, not my area, seem messy (so was Vista for first two years). The use of Driver Sweeper use to be considered a must when changning and trying out drivers. A part of finding the best driver for your card and system and games you use.
Windows Vista/7 allow one to rollback a driver to earlier, use restore point, uninstall driver - just don't uninstall the device itself or delete the device.
By uninstalling the Apple Boot Camp driver and program you may then be able to install a proper graphic driver.
And seriously, no joke, I find asking Bing is a great place to start -

T500 ATI Radeon issue with Alibre Designer 11.2
Note - I uploaded a video showing the symptom to Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTg3piX-H8I
I have a Thinkpad T500 the switchable graphics ATI Radeon 3450 for accelerated 3D/OpenGL support. I got this to be able to run CAD software. Unfortunately, there is a bug and Alibre Designer will not render reference lines when used with the ATI Radeon driver. This is not good, as reference lines are very much needed while drawing designs. The problem goes away if I switch to the slower Intel Media graphics driver.
I have installed the very latest ATI drivers and Catalyst Control Center, per Lenovo (http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/7vd541ww.txt) -- the CCC currently shows:
Item Value
Driver Packaging Version 8.563.2.1-090401a-079160c-Lenovo
Provider ATI Technologies Inc.
2D Driver Version 7.01.01.849
2D Driver File Path /REGISTRY/MPCH INE/SYSTEM/ControlSe
Direct3D Version 7.14.10.0630
OpenGL Version 6.14.10.8306
Catalyst® Control Center Version 2009.0401.1328.22301Well, with Alibre's help, we tried turning off the switchable graphics per:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-70495#g5
After the first reboot, the hardware was recognized, but the ATI driver was not properly loaded; but after the second reboots, the ATI driver was installed correctly. Then, Alibre worked correctly.
It appears that the switchable graphics driver support is interfering with the proper operation of the underlying ATI driver. I'm sad to lose switchable graphics support, but at least I can work! -
Is there a difference between the ati radeon 2600xt mobility and pro graphic cards?
After checking apples support website for compatible open-cl graphic cards, they list the ati radeon 2600xt as not compatible. The models listed for this card is the mac pro 2008. However, I have an imac 2.4ghz dual core with the mobility version of the same card. Does anyone know if my imac is compatible?
ThanksI found the discrepancy.
Under bootcamp, windows vista identifies the graphics card as an 'ATI Mobility HD Radeon 2600 XT'
Under Lion X, the graphics card is identified as an 'ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro'
Go figure -
Updating ATI Radeon HD 2600 card.

Hello all!
Please help us DV7 users ! I bought a DV7 laptop back in 2011 . It has swithable graphic crads ATI RADEON HD 6XXX series and INTEL HD . I use my pc for gaming mainly MULTIPLAYER games, with a lot of demanding video features, like STAR WARS THE OLD REPUBLIC, ELDER SCROLLS ONLINE FINAL FANTASY 14. All these games are out 2 or 3 years ago but i plan to play the new releases and i am worried that i can't with my laptop. The pc is great , really but needs a serious GFX drivers update. Everything worked just fine , but lately when all the games are making important updates, one by one starts to not play on my pc because of my old drivers.
I mean, AMD drivers are 4 years old and you never had a new version: can i ask why?
Can you please make a new driver version? Because i am short in money, i can't aford to buy a new pc .
Thank you very muchHi Quesspee,
Thank you for your query, I am happy to assist you!
I grasp that a few days ago your display started showing broken black and white horizontal lines and black, white, and coloured random squares on your screen . When it freezes the screen and mouse stops moving and the screen goes blank for about 5 seconds then comes back with the error (Display ATI Radeon Family driver stopped responding and has recovered) appears with a yellow triangle. When you clicked on the triangle, nothing happened.
You tried installing the Catalyst Control Center and approximately 1/2 through, you received a blue screen and your system shut down.
You tried doing a recovery but the issue remained.
I suggest you test for hardware failures. Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 7)
If this did not help to locate the issue, I suggest contacting HP support for further assistance. They have the ability to remotely log onto your system, to help locate and resolve issues.

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.

http://www.geek.com/articles/games/macpro-whats-better-ati-radeon-4870-or-nvidia -gtx-285-20090720/
The default card was Nvidia GT120 and req'd no power cables and popular way to support more displays.
People were running DUAL 4870s to support 3rd monitor though back then:

Crash with ATI Radeon X1900 XT and second HD display (DVI) ?
hi ! i have a realy tough one for you guys : since 3-4 days i've been getting this realy strange (and scary!) kernal panic screen / crashes / freeze with my macpro dual 2.66 with ati radeon X1900 xt.
the crashes keep coming while doing extensive work (video converting, renders) or just letting the macpro running doing nothing much all night long...
now this is what i found for now : if i disconect my 2nd display (samsung syncmaster 2493hm HD in DVI 1080p) it seem to be stable. when i reconnect it sometime it can run again with this 2nd display for a while but when i leave a render all night long the next morning it will be frozen, nothing on screen (all black).
after rebooting it get this crash report from the system :

ATI 5770 from Apple Store - like 1000s of others have done and in the comments section on the store page. -
Will the ATI Radeon 700 AGP card run two Studio 21 Displays?
I just bought a G4 MDD 1.4 GHZ Mac that has what I assume was the stock video card, which appears to be for LCD displays, since the cables from my Apple 21" Studio displays (CRTs) don't match up to it (those are called VGA monitors, right?).
On my present Mac (G4 Quicksilver) I am running both of these 21" Studio Displays, one plugged into the stock AGP card and the other connected to a PCI video card. As I prepare to switch over to my "new" MDD Mac now, I need to figure out how best to run the two monitors with this G4. (I will leave the video cards in the old Quicksilver and give it to a relative who also wants to run two monitors with it).
I notice a new Radeon 7000 AGP card being offered on Ebay which has one VGA port, and they provide an adapter so that the second (DVI) port can also run a VGA monitor. If that card would run both my 21" Studio Displays independently as claimed, it would be the ideal solution, if the performance is adequate.
I do lots of Photoshop(CS2)adjustment of digital camera images and also make video movies with Final Cut Express, iDVD, etc., with both monitors set to 1152 X 870 at 75 Hertz. Would such a card as this one be up to the task with both monitors?
Every time I try to post the link to the Ebay auction for this card, everything in this text box disappears. So I'll just copy and paste the description of the card from the auction: "ATI Radeon 7000 64MB DDR Dual Monitor capable AGP Video Card with VGA, DVI-I, and S-Video Out and a DVI to VGA adapter. The video card has ATI's latest firmware (v226) with the latest ATI Displays support. It does not have any sleep issues. The card is capable of dual true independent/simultaneous monitor support with extended desktop. The adapter allows for dual VGA operation. This model has been tested in a G4 Tower, G4 Cube, and G5 with several versions of OS X including OS 10.4/Tiger. This card is guaranteed to work in any Macintosh G4 Tower, G4 Cube, or G5 Tower with OS 9.2.2 or later that has an available AGP slot."
Sounds good---maybe too good to be true. Any drawbacks to such a setup as this?
Any advice most appreciated.
TomThanks for the info Malcolm. I checked out those links you provided, and it appears that buying two adapters for the presently-inistalled video card which would allow it to run two VGA monitors looks like a workable solution, all right. But it would be more expensive than just buying that Radeon AGP card to run both monitors, if the latter would work (that's what I'm still wondering).
Also, I notice that the DVI to VGA adapter sold by Apple has some poor reviews and seems to have glitches. It is reported by several people to be unreliable and seems to turn a lot of displays magenta, and in other cases requires a lot of wiggling or careful positioning to make it work right. Sounds like Apple needs to work on the design.
I appreciate the info, but I'm still favoring the Radeon 700 AGP card if someone can tell me it might work.
As to which card my Mac has in it right now, I can't tell just by looking at it (why don't they put an identifying sticker or something on the things?) and I can't connect any of my VGA displays to it yet to let the Mac report what it has in it, so it's still a mystery.
Thanks again,

Resetting a video card? (ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT)
So here's my issue. I am trying to connect a secondary monitor to my mac pro (10.5.8). The card in the machine is a ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT. The only port that seems to work on the card is "#2" (or the left port while looking at the card from the back of the machine).
Both monitors work when plugged into #2 so I know the problem is not with the monitors/cables. This leads me to believe the card has some issues. I used a secondary screen on this machine about a month ago and had no problems. Not to say the card isn't bad, but is there any way to reset this card or flush out some sort of cash/preference to see if that works?
I have done the obvious "Detect Displays", and have flushed the PRAM of the machine, I've tried booting it up with no screens, just one screen, etc. I've tried booting with one screen hooked up to port #1 and it never get any signal so I'm thinking it's a dead port unless I can somehow "refresh" this. System Profiler just shows whichever screen is connected to port #2 and "No display connected" for whatever is in port #1
Any ideas? I've done just about everything I can think of. I tried installing the firmware update too for the card, but on trying to do so it said that I couldn't because I was already running the latest firmware.

--------------ok walter, we gonna help you no problem. maybe try shutting down your mac pro and
using some compressed air and clean that out, especially the ATI Radeon 2600. Dust bunnies love the video cards. then restart, open up disk utility and repair permissions
if you can. If not, then yes, your video card is probably dying. Go to the Apple at the corner of your screen and click on "About this Mac" and it should tell you what kind of Mac Pro you have. As far as I know the ATI 5770 would be a good replacement for your ATI 2600. Apparently they were known to collect dust pretty easily, or so I was told. do you have Applecare? otherwise, I think it's gonna be around $300. Luckily installation isn't too hard. Oh, and you're probably going to need to have 10.6 already installed on your Mac Pro, I think
well, enough
