i replaced  card because my old original  crad was dead . and i replaced to this HD 5770 which i thought would work after reading the review but i guess two 30 inche dispaly wont work with original resoultion ... hmmmm

You need a dual link dvi adapter for the mini-displayport.
Single link dvi adapters have a max resolution of 1920 x 1200. Dual link max resolution is 2560 x 1600.
The DVI port on the 5770 is dual link which is why you don't have a problem connecting as 30" to it. 
Examples:
Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter
StarTech Mini DisplayPort to DVI Dual-Link Active Adapter – USB Powered
Kanex C30
These things aren't cheap!

  • ATI Radeon 9800 Pro and Apple Cinema Display compatibility

    I'd like to buy an Apple Cinema Display for my 5-year-old Power Mac G5 with an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro, but I'm having trouble understanding what I can and can't hook up to my system.
    I was thinking of getting a 30" display, but the Apple Store says I need a Dual-Link DVI, which I don't think my graphics card supports, but the Store also says I need an ATI Radeon 9650 or better, which I imagine the 9800 Pro is.
    I've looked at the ATI site for data on the graphics card, but their online manual shows a completely different set of connections on the card. They show VGA and S-Video out ports that mine doesn't have.
    Does my ATI Radeon 9800 Pro have dual-link? If so, can I use the 30" display? If not, can I still use the 30" display?
    If I can't use the 30" display, are there any compatibility problems with the 23" Apple Cinema Display?

    The 9800 is faster than the 9650, but it doesn't have a dual-link DVI port.
    Make sure you were looking at the Mac section of ATI's site. PC and Mac versions of the same card may have different port configurations.
    AGP cards with dual-link DVI, starting with the fastest:

  • PowerMac G5 - ATI Radeon Mac Edition + Apple 30" Cinema Display Issues

    Hi everybody,
    I just bought a 30" Apple Cinema Display for my (old but good) PowerMac G5 (2x2GHz).
    I'm using Leopard 10.5.6. When hooked up to the running system everything ist fine. But i recently had to reinstall Leopard and then I noticed, that after I boot from the DVD the whole screen went black/grey - so no colors at a very low resolution. So I had to do a "blind" install. Does anybody know why this happens? And is a fix availbable? Same thing happens when I boot into a NetInstall oder Netboot Image - the whole screen becomes black/grey as if the OS couldn't find a Color Profile and/or Driver.
    As said before - once Leopard is installed everything works fine.
    Thank you for your help.
    Best regards,
    Georg Lechner

    Ok, I think I kind of "solved" the problem. The issue has nothing to do with the Apple Cinema Display. I got the chance to hook up another display to that specific PM G5. Happens also with an BenQ TFT.
    I think the problem is the installed Radeon 9600 Pro. Gives only black/grey during installation. (even with the 10.5.6 Install Disc)
    No big deal so far. Problem solved for me, cause i switched from radeon to a geforce 6800 Ultra DLL.

  • 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.
    Thanks

    Ya 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.

  • Cannot match profiles on two 23 inch Cinema Displays

    I have just bought a new 23 inch Cinema Display in addition to my original which is only 8 months old. Using Xrite (GretagMacbeth)Eye One profiler the screens still do not match. The new screen appears much brighter and the 'old' screen much duller. Placing a blank white box created in Photoshop CS3 over the two screens shows a marked difference. Am I to expect this with a screen only 8 months old? How can I get them to match without 'cheating' with the white point? Serious help needed. many thanks.

    I don't think that there are any PCI-X graphics cards, and if there were, drivers would be another issue. PCI cards would work in a PCI-X slot, but unfortunately, none of those cards are capable of displaying dual link DVI. The best graphics core you can hope to get via PCI is an NV 6200 or ATI 9250
    Also, there aren't any Mac supported AGP cards that have 2 dual-link DVI ports, only 1.
    The only way you could do this is to upgrade to a PCI-express based machine and use the Nvidia Quadro FX4500, which is a $1600+ card + the cost of the new G5...
    A new G5 MIGHT not be so expensive, as there is or about to be a mass exodus of pro shops that will be getting out of the G5 to move to the Intel Mac Pro soon.
    If you had another dual-link capable machine, you could remote desktop in and use a KVM to switch between machines / monitors, but this is sort of a silly complex way of doing something that should be simple through hardware upgrades.

  • Trying to get ATI Radeon HD 5770 working in 2006 MacPro 1,1

    Hi, all.
    In the last week or so my GeForce 8800GT appears to have died. After the machine's been up for a while I get flickering, black bands, garbled pixels and colors, and eventually a crash of the UI subsystem (although the machine stays up and can be SSH'ed into after the UI goes away). The machine is also likely to hang during boot with the 8800 in place.
    Swapping in an old Apple-supplied, GeForce 7300, the machine boots and runs fine.
    Seeing a number of threads in which people have managed to get the Apple-supplied Radeon HD 5770 upgrade kit working in 2006 1,1 models of the Mac Pro, I ordered one.
    My system's specifics are:
    MacPro 1,1
    Boot ROM: MP11.005C.B08
    SMC: 17f10
    It's running OS X 10.6.4 and the Snow Leopard graphics update is installed.
    My problem is this. When I put the 5770 in, and connect its power cable (using either the power cable from the 8800 or the new cable that came with the 5770), and connect my 30-inch Cinema display to the DVI connector on the back of the 5770, the monitor never lights up.
    I don't see the gray screen, or the Apple logo. Disk chattering is consistent with a clean boot, and if I whack on the keyboard I can hear the sounds from the login window. I can also remote desktop into the machine. When I do, I find that it has booted successfully and the in System Profiler under "Graphics/Displays" that there is only the message "No information found." There's no mention of the Radeon, or the Cinema display.
    The fan on the card does spin, so at least it seems to be getting power.
    Any suggestions? It sounds like many folks with configurations about the same as mine have had relatively little trouble getting the 5770 working on their 1,1 machine.
    The fact that I never see anything but a black screen makes me wonder if there's more going on here than just software, since I'd guess that the initial gray screen and Apple logo are provided by the boot ROM using lowest common denominator VGA functionality common to all cards, and that no real systems software has loaded or run by that point.
    Guesses? Suggestions? Is it likely I got a DOA 5770? Or might my Mac Pro be less up to the task than the other 1,1 machines that have succeeded? Or have I done something wrong, or forgotten to do something?
    Any and all pointers are appreciated. If I can't get this 5770 to work my options may be going back to the 7300, or paying Apple $440 for a repair replacement of the 8800, which is a painful sum to fork out for a slow, several year obsolete NVIDIA card that doesn't have a sterling reputation for longevity.

    Ah, interesting. Here's what I get when I boot with the old GeForce 7300 plugged in.
    System Profiler shows no extensions with "ATI" in the name. I'm not sure if this is to be expected though. Does System Profiler -> Software -> Extensions display the kexts installed on the system, or only those that the kernel decided to load at boot time? If the latter, I guess I wouldn't expect to see them. If the former, then might there be some registration step I need to do to tell the system that the ATI kexts are present and able to be loaded?
    As for the presence of the extensions, if I look in /System/Library/Extensions, I find the following files when I do an 'ls -lF | grep ATI'...
    ATI1300Controller.kext
    ATI1600Controller.kext
    ATI1900Controller.kext
    ATI2400Controller.kext
    ATI2600Controller.kext
    ATI3800Controller.kext
    ATI4500Controller.kext
    ATI4600Controller.kext
    ATI4800Controller.kext
    ATI5000Controller.kext
    ATIFramebuffer.kext
    ATIRadeonX1000.kext
    ATIRadeonX1000GA.plugin
    ATIRadeonX1000GLDriver.bundle
    ATIRadeonX1000VADriver.bundle
    ATIRadeonX2000.kext
    ATIRadeonX2000GA.plugin
    ATIRadeonX2000GLDriver.bundle
    ATIRadeonX2000VADriver.bundle
    ATIRadeonX3000.kext
    ATIRadeonX3000GA.plugin
    ATIRadeonX3000GLDriver.bundle
    ATIRadeonX3000VADriver.bundle
    ATISupport.kext
    So lots of ATI-related goodies. The dates are all either Aug 2 or Aug 6, so I'm guessing they came with the Snow Leopard Graphics Update, which I think was released just after those dates.
    I'm getting ready to return the card and try another, but will hold off another day or two, since it still seems plausible that there might be a software issue lurking...
    Thanks again for your help,
    Jerry

  • Video cards for 2008 Mac Pro with 4 20 inch Cinema Displays

    I have an early 2008 Mac Pro Quad Core with 16GB RAM. I run a 4 (20 inch Mac Cinema Display) monitor configuration off of it. one of my video cards just failed. They were never very good at handling FX in FCP anyway. I want to upgrade and get good cards for 2 displays each and if possible, video cards that will facilitate FCP X as well. What should I get?

    OS X has drivers in 10.6.5
    It is the ROM firmware that makes it work though there is help there too now for PC cards and flashing.
    OWC is over pricing.

  • Can my G5 support upgrade to the 30-inch Cinema Display?

    I'm a book designer working in Adobe's Creative Suite and would LOVE to purchase a 30-inch Cinema Display, especially now that Apple has dropped the price. My G5 is 3 years old and currently connected to a 5-year-old 22-inch Apple cinema display. If I were able to upgrade to the 30-inch display what would I need in addition, other than the NVIDIA GForce 6800 Ultra Graphics Card (which I'm having difficulty finding online)?

    I recently went through this, and ended up having to return the 30" for 2 23".
    You have to determine whether you have a PCI bay for graphics and other cards( there are many PCI graphics cards that will run the 30") or the older ADP configuration (for which there is one Radeon card, which is currently unavailable, and according to ATI's own customer service, not certain if they are actually in production!).
    If you've got PCI bays, you're in business. But I have ADP and my 30 inch was running at 1024x768 resolution and it was a nightmare. Fortunately, the store swapped out for two smaller ones, which run fine with my current card.
    It took me over a month to find this out, so I hope you can save some aggravation! Bob Krist

  • Better replacement for ATI Radeon HD 5770

    Hello. I have in my Mid 2010 Mac Pro the ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB. What graphics card is out there that has better graphics and also supports 3 to 4 monitors easily? My budget is in the 300 to 400 range. I've seen the EVGA GeForce GTX 680 for Mac, which is amazing, but out of my budget. I need to get three monitors running soon.

    It's not the USB data that is needed to run three displays. It's the extra POWER. If you read the Apple article, they say the only solution they endorse is their US$100 Dual-Link adapters. Check the table at the end of the article.
    Mac Pro (Early 2009), Mac Pro (Mid 2010): Supported display configurations
    Readers here have found that if you have two Brand-X Powered adapters, aka active adapters, it also works fine. These do not always require another USB. If designed recently, they can pick up a power pin in the Mini DisplayPort interface.
    AMD (makers of the 5770 and 5870) lists the qualified POWERED adapters that meet their most stringent requirements. Look down the page and you will find several qualified Active Mini DisplyPort to various others, such as HDMI. These adapters are available from other outlets, such as Amazon, sometimes for far less than the Apple adapters.
    http://support.amd.com/us/eyefinity/Pages/eyefinity-dongles.aspx
    The other desktop monitor will plug directly into the DVI port on the card and the 40 inch tv will still connect via HDMI over the second Mini Display port.
    That will work only if you use an active Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter.
    The only (someone) have found to work (2009)
    http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/337561577/miniactive_display_port_tohdmi.html
    but you should confirm that they are really active before buying 500 of them.
    You can connect a DVI to HDMI adapter or cable to an active Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter but that won't give you any audio over HDMI. You could connect the DVI displays to the Mini DisplayPorts with active adapters and use a DVI to HDMI cable or adapter from the DVI port to the TV.

  • 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

  • Best performance dual 30 inch cinema displays   dual x1900 card(s) ?

    I am trying to get the maximum performance out of my system. I have a Mac Pro with two 30 inch cinema displays. I have them both connected to one X1900 card.
    I use LightRoom as my photo work flow manager. I spread the library across both monitors as I sort thru photos.
    Performance is good but sorting thru several thousand RAW files I need every bit of speed I can get.
    Would I get better performance if I used two x1900 cards, one for each monitor? how about the 7300 or the FX4500? would those improve speed or better just for gaming?
    thanks in advance for any help.

    Two Quad-core with 8-16GB RAM, and your media fles on RAID.
    I'd configure with 4 x 750GB WD RE2s. Can't easily swap or upgrade cpu so that is a given until you know and Apple has something that would make sense to buy/swap to newer faster systems (maybe in a year or next summer).
    There is no support for two 16x lane slots. Maybe in the future but not now.
    I doubt your performance is limited or factor of the twin 30s on the Radeon. It might. Try running with just one monitor for a few hours.

  • MacPro x ATI Radeon HD 5770

    Hi people,
    I Have macpro 1,1 already bought graphics card ATI RADEON HD 5770 (1 Gb VRAM) and in the box didn't came any dvd or cd with drive just the card and manual.
    Happens that I installed as recomended but some issues has occurred. On system information has two lines with differents informations:
    The first line says
    Card: ATI Radeon HD 5770
    Type: ATY,HoolockParent
    Drive Installed: No
    Bus: PCI
    Slot: 1
    The second line says
    Card: ATI Radeon HD 5770
    Type: ATY,HoolockParent
    Drive Installed: yes
    Bus: PCI
    Slot: 1
    Happens that when I try open the Final Cut Pro this message is showed: "final cut pro requires that your system have a Quartz Extrem capable video card" and "final cut pro requires that your system have 128 MB of VRAM; this system has only 0 MB of VRAM)
    How do I proceed to install the correct drive (there isn't this drive on ATI site) and solve this issue?
    Best regards

    Hi Allan,
    When I verify on System information (Hardware - Graphics/Displays) I see that there is the information "quartz extreme: Not supported". This information is because I still don't have the HD 5770 drive installed or 5770 doesn't support this feature?
    Now I'm worried because if it Is true I wont works with FCP7 in my macpro... right?
    Thanks for your suggestion. I will buy Snow Leopard and install it.

  • 2 ATI Radeon HD 5770 vs 1 ATI Radeon HD 5870

    Hi everyone
    I had a quick question about the GPU options on a mac pro. What are the differences between having 2 ATI Radeon HD 5770's and having 1 ATI Radeon HD 5870? Is either better? Just assume a high end mac, 12 core @ 2.93GHz/32GB RAM. I'm not great with GPUs.
    Thanks!

    Having two allows for more output displays and to empty your wallet.
    No CrossFire or bonding. And not every will see a difference with 5870.
    Nor does all software work optimally with 12-cores. Which is why 3.33GHz 6-core is popular has highest GHz, and put money into other things.

  • Is it possible to attach Samsung Monitor to the 27 inch Cinema Display?

    Hello,
    I have an Apple 27 inch Cinema Display and I also have a Samsung 27 inch monitor.
    I would like to know if it's possible to create a dual monitor setup by connecting the Samsung monitor (dvi or hdmi) with an adapter to the Cinema Display's mini display port on the back?
    Does anyone know if this is possible? Or does it only work with another Cinema Display?
    I'd appreciate any help received.
    Thanks,

    Is it possible to connect the PC to the Samsung monitor via Dual link DVI and to the Apple Cinema Display via mini display port and work as a dual monitor setup?
    That should work if the PC has both DisplayPort and dual-link DVI (or two DisplayPorts).
    I'm thinking the best solution for MacBook Air is to purchase a Thundebolt display and hook that up to the Cinema Display and I think then I would have a dual screen setup at full resolution.
    That will work if you connect a Thunderbolt disk drive (with two Thunderbolt ports) between the Thunderbolt display and the Mini DisplayPort display.
    But currently I don't think there is a way to connect a PC to a Thunderbolt Display.
    Not unless the PC has Thunderbolt.

    Random unresponsive mouse, keyboard, and software when working in FCP.   The system would freeze and my only remedy was to shut down.   This would only happen when editing video.   I assumed my ATI Radeon 1900xt grapics card was the culrprit. 
    Ordered and installed the ATI Radeon HD 5770 upgrade from apple.  Trying to open FCP after the install, but FCP was blocked from opening for 3 reasons  1.  “Final Cut Pro requires that your system have 128 MB of VRAM; this system has only 0”   2.  Quartz Extream compatiblity and the minimim pixel height on my display was under under 800 (768) 
    I restarted the computer and reset PRAM (hold option, command, P & R keys down all together when you restart). Wait until you hear the second chime before releasing the keys.   This didn’t work.
    So, I trashed preferences.  That didn’t work.
    I opened up Applications, control click on FCP, “Show Package Contents”  Contents/Resources and opened "minsys.plist"  and set the minimum VRAM, Quartz Extream Capable, & Screen resolution all to “warn” instead of “block”.  This allowed FCP to begin it’s launch, BUT FCP  would then hang on the Looksuite Plugin and not open. 
    So, I then uninstalled LookBuilder & removed the plug in.  FCP would then open. BUT immediately after setting my timeline preferences to Apple ProRes 442 LT  FCP crashed with in seconds. 
    As a work around I tired creating a new user with admin privileges but to no avail.  FCP still crashes.   with this error “ Exception Type:  EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS)
    Exception Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at 0x0000000000000000” 
    Any direction would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Justin

    > I purchased my rig with FCP and other programs already installed.  I don't have install disk's for FCP.  When I upgrade to SL, will I need to re-install FCP as well, or (assuming I have no other problems) can I upgrade the OS with out installing FCP again?<
    The previous owner is going to be in trouble in the afterlife but you're going to be in big trouble when you attempt to upgrade FCP. You will be able to purchase FCPX, from what we can tell, without your serial numbers.
    The general advice around here is to do a scroched earth total erase and install of everything when changing operating systems. In all my years of runing FCP on my Macs, I've never done that. I've alwyas just run the OS Update script and I have never had a problem with this method. I do, of course, make a clone of my system drive before attempting major changes.
    If you do an intialization install when you get Snow Leopard, you will need FCP disks. Whoever you bought the rig from stole them from you.
