ATI RADEON X1900XT in G5 DUAL ?

Hello - I have a G5 DualCore (not INTEL version but the previous one) PCI expres - I have planned to purchase a new graphic card (now I have GeForce 6600) and I would like the ATI RADEON X1900XT but I have still not understand if I can mount it on my Mac or not.
Does anyone knows if it is possible put it in the G5 Dual Core (Sony)?
Thanks for any informations

There are two versions of the X1900XT. The Mac Pro version, and the G5 version. The link that I provided you is for the G5 version that will work in the dual core G5, with no problem of compatibility.
Are "ATI RADEON X1900 G5 Mac Edition" and the " ATI RADEON X1900XT Mac Edition" the same?
No, they are different. The ATI RADEON X1900 G5 Mac Edition is for the dual core G5. The ATI RADEON X1900XT Mac Edition is for the Mac Pro.

  • Problem between a Mac Pro / 01-2007 and ATI Radeon X1900XT

    Hello,
    My friend has bought a second hand ATI Radeon X1900XT with a fan Zalmann Fatality VC-ZV9 and has the following problems. She can switch on her computer without any problem and the card works fine (Photoshop, ...) As soon as she launches Secondlife client, the screen gets black few minutes after, and if she tries to switch off and on the screen, it says "No signal" anologic or digital. This card is reported to work very well with Secondlife. It can't be overheat, since it comes very quickly, and just after the crash, she can touch the card which is not hot. The fan works fine. How can I investigate to find out what goes wrong with this card ? Her computer is a Mac Pro bought in January 2007 with 3 Gb RAM and Leopard. The problems has occured before 10.5.3 version of Leopard was installed. I've made a test of the Video Memory with Techtool Deluxe and it didn't find any problem.
    Thank you

    I think I'm having a similar problem: running a Mac Pro/ATI Radeon X1900XT. Was having issues with general artifacts that seemed to come and go randomly. The machine got very hot one day when the AC was not on and the office was closed: random artifact "pixel dots" became lines on the screen, and then the entire screen just went black.
    I had to do a hard shut down, and it's happened several times since. When I pulled the ATI card out, there was considerable dust built up at the intake which I cleaned out. It hasn't blacked out again, but the artifacts remain on the screen.
    I suspect the card is about to die, but was trying to see if anyone else had this experience? Also, if anyone recommends replacing it with the same card, or if there is a better recommendation? I do general design and photo editing, no gaming and nothing very intense.
    Thanks for the help!!

  • Is a ATI Radeon X1900XT (512 MB) card enough to drive a single monitor for video editing

    My son just given an older mac pro.
    2 x 3 GHZ Quad Intel Xeon.

    The video card installed is an ATI Radeon X1900XT (512 MB)
    Is this video card sufficient to drive a single monitor for video editing and basic graphics work in PhotoShop, etc?
    Many thanks.

    For me, the best place for any type of upgrade on your Mac Pro 1,1 (mine is a 2.66) is at Other World Computing.
    The only video card available from OWC is the ATI Radeon 5770 HD.

  • Is there a known conflict between a CalDigit FASTA-GU3 sata/USB 3 card and an ATI Radeon X1900XT video card?

    Hello all.
    I am having trouble with my Mac Pro (circa 2008) not powering up the monitor (an Apple HD Cinema Display 23 inch).
    Here's some history.
    For about two weeks I was having trouble waking up the monitor from sleep. I would have to reboot the computer to see the screen.
    Then the screen wouldn't wake up after many reboots. I tried the Apple Cinema Display on my MacBook Pro laptop an on an older Mac Mini. The display didn’t' work on any of them.
    I then hooked up a Samsung monitor to all three computers in turn. The Samsung worked fine with each.
    From that I deduced that it was Apple HD Cinema Display that was at fault.
    I replaced it with one I bought from a friend - in perfect working condition.
    The new Apple Display worked fine with my Mac Pro.
    Problem solved - or so I thought.
    Now, a few days later, I am having a repeat of the same problem. The Apple Cinema Display won't wake up.
    I removed all the peripheral devices, still no joy.
    I removed and reseated the video card (after blasting all with compressed air).
    Still no joy.
    I then removed the CalDigit FASTA-GU3 sata/USB 3 card I installed about a year ago.
    Now the Apple Display came back to life.
    So my question is, are there know conflicts between a CalDigit FASTA-GU3 and an ATI Radeon X1900XT video card?
    If so - is there a fix?
    Also open to other theories.
    Other tech specs:
    Mac Pro (from around 2008) 2 x 3 GHZ Quad Intel Xeon.
    OSX Lion
    The video card is an ATI Radeon X1900XT (512 MB)
    Apple HD Cinema Display - 23 inch
    Many thanks.

    Thanks for the info on the Expansion Slot Utility. I found it and ran it. It shows no problems. It shows the ATI Radeon X1900XT to be properly installed and running at full capacity.
    I found a reliable dealer of flashed ATI Radeon 5770 cards. A couple of trusted friends have had good luck with cards from the dealer.
    So I will have that on stand-by for when/if the existing card fails completely.
    Thanks everyone for your input.

  • ATI Radeon HD 5770   DVI Dual-Link to VGA

    why my monitor VGA do not work with DVI Dual-Link (with adapter) and work with Mini DisplayPort (with adapter)?
    The Support tell me the DVI support only digital signal , it is true or my exit DVI v.Card not work ?
    Thank you

    work with Mini DisplayPort (with adapter)
    do not work with DVI Dual-Link (with adapter)
    VGA must be produced by the Video Card. The adapter just switches the signals around. The VGA signals are in the bar at the end of the connector, the four pins around it, and pin 8.
    wikipedia article on DVI pinouts
    If you are using two adapter, adapt directly from the DVI port to VGA with one adapter.
    If the pins (shown in pink above) are missing, you cannot get VGA from that port.

  • 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.
    Tom

    Thanks 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,
    Tom

  • 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:
    ATI Radeon X800 XT 256MB (ADC, dual-link DVI) (Some reports of problems with Leopard)
    <http://www.welovemacs.com/0831xeghr.html>
    NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra 256 MB (Two dual-link DVI)
    <http://www.welovemacs.com/6613332.html>
    NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GT 256 MB (Two dual-link DVI)
    <http://www.welovemacs.com/6613441.html>
    ATI Radeon 9650 XT (Single-link, dual-link DVI)
    <http://www.mac-pro.com/ATI-Radeon-9650-256MB-for-G5-661-3593?sc=2&category=42>
    ATI Radeon 9600 Pro PC & MAC Edition RoHS 256MB AGP (Single-link, dual-link DVI)
    <http://shop.ati.com/product.asp?sku=3170809>
    A 23" will work with any G5 card.

  • ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128 MB good upgrade from stock?

    Hi,
    I currently have an ATI Radeon 9650 in my Dual 2.0Ghz PowerMac G5.
    I have found a good deal for an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128 MB card.
    Do you think it is a worthwhile purchase?
    Specs on the 9800: http://www.superwarehouse.com/ATIRadeon_9800_Pro_Mac_Edition_128MB_VideoCard/100-435050/ps/333809

    No, what you want is this.
    http://www.ati.com/products/radeonx800/radeonX800xtme/index.html
    buy page is here
    http://www.ati.com/buy/pricesmacusa.html
    It has a Dual Link and a ADC port on the back, so you can hook up anything from a 30" Apple (Dual Link) to any regular DVI (hooks up to Dual Link) to any legacy ADC (plastic) Apple display.
    It's also the fastest current card on the market for your machine.
    Check out the ATI upgrade program, you might qualify for a discount.
    They send you the new card, you send them the old. But it may be wise to have two video cards, one for backup as they are getting scarce.
    3D gaming is always pushing the video card envelope, so it's actually best to get the best right away to prolong your 3D gaming experience.
    If you "half-step" it, then when you use a new game, it's crippled.
    3D gaming performance is almost entirely video card performance dependent.
    See Barefeats comparison here
    http://www.barefeats.com/radx800.html
    I have the new Rollercoaster Tycoon 3, which 3D animates all the rides. I've created a park that's only 1/4 of the available space and I'm getting dropped frames on my 6800GT and that's more powerful that the 128MB ATI card you mentioned.
    Quake 4 runs great on my card, Doom 3 is fine, just a few stutters.
    UT2004 runs great. Nanosaur 2 is very smooth.
    So spend your money wisely, get the powerful card. Trust me.

  • ATI Radeon X1900 Xt Drivers for Leopard not yet provided

    Still waiting For Apple to provide Leopard level drivers for the ATI Radeon X1900XT graphics card. Problems are documented as horizontal lines on display and include periods of lockups but only when running under Leopard. Graphics card has been cleaned and reset and re-installed according to manufacturers specifications. They conclude the required drivers to support this card can only come from Apple.
    Backing off of Leopard is NOT an option. There are very few cards that fit this G5 (not a MacPro). I have never had this much trouble trying to get help. Assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Is it a retail card or OEM? someone mentioned their problem was resolved with drivers from ATI.

  • Dual monitor connection for ATI Radeon 4350

    I have HP Pavilion Elite e9300z PC with 512MB ATI Radeon HD 4350 [DVI, HDMI, VGA adaptor]... I want to connect a 2nd monitor to video card. I think my current monitor is HDMI, so for the other (DVI) is it dual-link? In other words, should I get a dual-link DVI cable or a regular DVI-D cable? Thanks.

    Regular DVI-D cable shoould work, your monitor must have a DVI-D and not a DVI-I port...

  • Alittle help with dual-setup with ati radeon 5770

    Hello everyone, I have been trying to setup a dual display with 2 flat panel monitors.
    1. A WestingHouse Digital Electronics "17"
    2. A Goldstar Company Ltd "23" (Main Display)
    Im currently running the gnome desktop, what im trying to setup, is have both the gnome desktop show up on both monitors. For example if I wanted to move something from my main monitor to the smaller one to the left of me, I want to NOT be able to do that, and only have the mouse be able to move accross the 2. 2 Seperate desktops one 2 seperate screens. Im not quite sure what its called, Im thinking maybe its a clone Desktop? Anways, The graphics card Im using is an
    Ati Radeon 5770, has 2 vga ports. I currently have the "video-ati" driver installed and works well with my main screen, but im unable to get my secondary screen (to the left of me) working. I tried going into System>>Preferences>>Monitors, and tried tinkering with the display, and tried enabling the 2 monitors and moving them from left to right, to see if that would possibly let it show up or start to function, but only the main screen works. I generated a new xorg.conf, since I didnt have one prior to installing Arch, I was following these to guides
    http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/X.Org/Dual_Monitors
    http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/X.Org/Dual_Monitors/ATI
    both are very nice, but Im still not quite understanding yet. Defiantly am trying. I edited my xorg.conf a few times, but got the same results each time, just the screen going blank and X crashing.  I have here a copy of my xorg.conf, Xorg.conf.log, and xrandr output
    Xorg.conf

    Thank you guys!

    An xorg.conf may not be necessary, but I still find it nice to have the control that the file provides.
    In looking over yours, I see several things that could be causing your problems.
    First off,  I notice that you have Screen0  that is using Card0 and Monitor0.  This part looks ok. 
    When I look at Screen1, I notice that you are using  ATI Graphics Adapter1 and Monitor1.   I don't see entries for either of those, although you have an ATI Graphics Atapter2, but there is no entry for your second monitor.
    I also notice that you are trying to use both radeon and fglrx as drivers.  As far as I know (and I don't have an ATI video card at the moment), you can use one driver or the other, but not both.
    After you have these things fixed, then you can put in the Screen section in your server layout to describe the positioning of your second monitor.
    All in all, the issues that you have to fix are minor,  but frusterating if you are too close to the situation. 
    Good luck.

  • ATI/Radeon 9800 Pro 128 AGP 4x/2x in Gigabit Ethernet dual 450 PMac G4

    Hi,
    This is my first time posting to these discussion group... I've been going through related threads and have not found an answer to my problem...
    I have a Gigabit Ethernet dual 450 G4. Awhile ago I upgraded the processor to a Sonnet 1.8ghz so I could run Leopard.
    I just bough the ATI/Radeon 9800 Pro 128 AGP 4x/2x video card. I researched around and that seemed to be a card that would work in my machine. I even read a review on Amazon where someone had also upgraded to the 1.8 processor used this card with no issues.
    I do have an older monitor - Apple Studio Display CRT with the ADC connector. So I also bought the Apple DVI to ADC adapter kit.
    I installed the card and do not get any picture at all - I believe I have installed everything correctly. I'm pretty sure I can hear the fan on the video card in the machine. The monitor is getting power from the adapter since the button lights up when I press it - but it does not stay lit -- the monitor never turns on. Using my old graphics card the monitor makes a little "beep" when it turns on.
    In reading the other topics I am wondering if it might be a power issue? According to Other World Computing's profile my machine has a max of 220 watts. Although they suggest this video card as one the will work in my machine.
    I have disabled the hard drive that came with the machine (too small) and am using two Maxtor hard drives that I added - one ATA (120gb) and one SATA (500gb) that is connected to an SATA pci card. I also have two additional pci cards with usb 2.0/firewire ports.
    In looking at the topics here I came across the link about taping the 3 and 11 pins on the video card. Even though the card I have is 4x/2x not 8x I thought I'd give it a shot. That did not work either.
    Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.

    I don't wish to sound redundant here, but I've been reviewing the vendor's page:
    It's OK- I don't mind beating this dead horse....
    The maker says such to protect themselves from possible claims that may arise due to over loaded systems and power problems when their card is installed in said system.
    Of course, 300w would be nice, but they didn't even specify the PSU rating a couple years ago. The Sawtooth, with it's 237w PSU, used to be listed as a compatible machine for the 9800...... They just didn't consider how far a Sawtooth might be modded.
    Within reason, the early G4's (Sawtooths) are capable of using the Radeon 9800 Pro. The GE has the same 338w PSU as the DA (they are interchangeable), so there is plenty of power for the 9800.
    One thing to remember, the requirements of the ADC port of the AGP slot are removed by using a non ADC card. This really changes the calculations of the power available.
    It's kinda' a long post, but, if you care to get ALL the details, check the following:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7065653&#7065653
    I think you'll be satisfied with the explanation.......
    Which leaves your second, and very appropriate, point.
    The main enemy of all, though, isn't power. Heat is the biggest concern.
    Reducing heat/increasing cooling by using a third party fan on the 9800 is highly recommended. The 9800 is a hot card, and the stock fan is prone to early failure.
    Adding additional cooling to remove the extra heat produced by the 9800, by using an exausting PCI fan, will also help the PSU provide adequate voltage to the system, by reducing the amount of hot air moving out of the PSU.
    Super heated air moving through the PSU reduces the cooling ability of the PSU. A hot PSU doesn't produce reliable power.
    So, add the 9800, add some cooling, and enjoy!

  • 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.

Maybe you are looking for
