ATI Radeon X800 XT Mac edition question

I have a 17"apple studio display and a 20" apple cinema display can i run both of theses from this card in my g5 2.7?

Thanks for the link Patrick.
If I decided to try and atempt flashing the card myself do you happen to know which ATI card would be the best candidate to flash for my G5? I need a single DVI and I think I understand from your post that a FireGL card is needed. I looked at the tools page you posted http://thomas.perrier.name/graphiccelerator.html but didn't notice this type of card listed under the supported ROMs. I did find this page which list FireGL cards and the Radeon models they are based on.

I do plane on checking out the strangedogs.com website but thought I'd ask you which you thought was best.
Thanks again.

ATI Radeon 9000 PRO Mac Edition supported under Tiger ?

Hi all,
we are still using OS X 10.3.x for our venerable G4 AGP mac. Back in 2005 when Tiger was the new OS, we were told that our ATI Radeon™ 9000 PRO Mac Edition graphics would not be supported under 10.4.x. Has this changed? I don't want to upgrade to Leopard yet, but would like to use some Tiger features as Mail 2.0 or improved iSync.
Thanks for any input ...

So is this why all my fonts are screwed on my G4 MDD dual 1.25 using a ATI 9000 Pro?
Seems as tho it works perfectly fine when i had 10.4.10 but when 10.4.11 was released all my fonts are screwed. Even when booting from a OSX CD. I installed 10.5 and still doesnt work.
looks like i need a 9600.

Can I use an ATI Radeon 9000 Pro Mac Edition 128MB Video Card in a Mac Min

Looking to buy a Mac mini.
In 2004 I upgraded the graphics card in my dual processor 450 MHz G4 desktop with an ATI Radeon 9000 Pro Mac Edition 128MB Video Card to run a 20-inch Cinema Display.
Now my G4 has died (probably the power supply and I'm being told it's not worth it to fix---buy a Mac mini!)
But I've read that the graphics card in the Mac mini is not stellar and I'm wondering if I could reuse the ATI Radeon 9000 Pro Mac Edition 128MB Video Card in the Mac mini. Would this be a good thing to do?
Any thoughts/advice would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,

There are people that claim to have hooked up a PCI-e 1x card (yes, the Mini uses PCI-e). But that requires some serious hardware modifications including soldering, a PC power supply, and so on. But that card is an old AGP card so even that wouldn't even work for what you've got.

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 mac edition power cable install

radeon 9800 pro mac edition power cable is a 6 pin arrangement on the one I have. What cable do i need in order to attach it to a late 2005 G5 2.0 dual core power source?

The Radeon 9800 Pro is an AGP graphics card.
It CANNOT be used in a Late 2005 PCIe graphics G5.
IF you have an AGP graphics model of G5, using a Molex splitter is how it is done.

PM 7500 with ATI radeon 7000 PCI mac edition - slow running OS 9.1

Hello to all,
Well now have a PM 7500 with a G3 500 MHz, USB 1.1 and just installed a PCI ATI radeon 7000 mac edition video card from OWC.com. Installed the card, put in the ATI drivers that owc.com says I need and bummer, the card (32 meg of VRAM) is actually slower than my system video (doing tests with norton system info).
With this system, cannot upgrade to 9.2.1, most managed to go the "legit" way is 9.1. Any help again on this one would be appreciated.
Thanks

Ati radeon 9000 pro mac edition....

...just wondering, as this card is now discontinued, what would be the going rate on eBay (or similar) for this card?
Before I pay to much!!
TIA

Most likely in the range of $80-100

Ati radeon hd 4870 mac specifications

I haven't been able to find detailed specifications for the ati radeon hd 4870 mac edition.
The PC version specs show "accelerated transcoding and decoding for H.264 and Mpeg2".
Is this on the Mac version? Is it accessed/useful when compressing video to H.264 and Mpeg2?

We started to catch up, but missed the mark as far as driver support.
A GPU can also be a GPGPU, or CUDA, or PhysX card, or used in non-Macs for SLI and CrossFire. Windows 7 uses DirectX to off load work to the GPU.
A GPU is great for a lot of mathematical, encryption, parallel computing, even as a Fortran compiler.
I've never used a computer to play games, and when you see the extremes that some go to, $1000+ for 2-3 graphic cards teamed up, 180 fps... I imagine a wall of monitors at a concert or most any presentation today.
CS4 on Windows can use Quadro CX ($1600) not just for eye-candy, but off load and render. Don't send the image back and forth to the cpu.
Intel hopes to have Larabee out next year. Which goes in the other direction, use the cpu for handling tranditional gpu functions.

Does 10.5.6 Support Dual displays for Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Edition cards?

Does 10.5.6 Support Dual displays for Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Edition cards?
And is there driver updates for anyone using the all-in-ones HP printers...has anyone been able to use their scanners since the update? and has the dual screen support been added to avoid the blue screen on startup?

The ATI Radeon 9600 PC/Mac edition 256 MB should work in the MDD G4. It has two DVI ports (one is dual-link and can support a 30" display). You will need adapters for ADC displays.

Aperture and ATI Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Special Edition

I have noticed a few people on this board have the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Special Edition (256MB- G5 only) listed on thier specs on the bottom of posts
so I was wondering what your experience using this card is like with Aperture, even-though it I realize that it is not the current top of the line card ?
How about a rating from 0 to 5 stars where 5 would be the best currently available.
Robert
P.S lets not get into a p**** match over what IS the best video card for Aperture; I am just looking for subjective views on THIS card!

I have just the card you mentioned.
I think how happy you'd be with it depends on what kinds of files you are using. I work with TIFF files because my camera is not supported, and performance with those is better than with true RAW files.
I generally do not see much delay but a few adjustmnet tools (Shadows & Highlights & Spot/Patch) can get a bit pokey.
Honestly if I were upgrading my card all over again I would bit the bullet and get the x800XT, which I am mulling over even now... I was hoping it might drop a bit more in price but it does not seem to be doing so.
If you want an absolute rating I guess I'd give it three stars, though again that is with the files that I use. For other larger RAW formats like D2H files and such, I think it's more of a two.
One last thing to note is that I have not tired other raw formats since the update, so it might be upgraded from a two... I was waiting to see what kind of speedup Aperture 1.1 offered in addition to just the system update. I'll report back when that update comes out.

ATI Radeon HD 3870 Mac&Pc edition and Accelero S1

I just installed the ATI Radeon HD 3870 Mac & Pc edition on my Mac Pro (first edition).
While the fan on the card is not very loud and acceptable I would like to take the fan out and install the Accelero S1 cooler instead ( http://www.arctic-cooling.com/vga2.php?idx=138&data=7&disc= ).
Has anyone installed one (accelero s1) lately?
Any objections?
Thank you for your input.
Eugene

Just installed this. It's great, quiet. Took about 20 minutes. Take your time and the install is easy. I didn't use the spacer clips as they're not necessary, and a bit hard to install. I ordered the Artic cleaning and prep solutions and I'm glad I did. Good luck.

Radeon 9200 PCI Mac Edition not working properly

I recently purchased a Radeon 9200 PCI mac edition for my G3 B&W on ebay but it doesn't seem to like my B&W. It displays fine but refuses to load the driver and makes OS 9.2.2 freeze upon booting. I already have the latest drivers for it (january 2005 update). I haven't seen any similar issue around the net. Here is my B&W specs:
It has a G4 400mhz from the Yikes! running at 450MHz with voltage tweak help and 3 additinal fans attached to the heatsink (which is also original from the Yikes!).
1GB RAM
80GB + 40GB HDs
2x Voodoo2 8mb cards running in SLI.
ADB Keyboard + Mouse
removing the Voodoo2 did not fix this. I currently use a Radeon 7000 64MB PC flashed to Mac which works out of the box and share the same drivers. I don't have OS X installed. Please help, I don't know what to do anymore.
LFTHFY,
Filipe

Try this driver update (again):
ATI OS9 RADEON Update.zip
If you have an older mac w/G4 CPU upgrade (beige G3 or older for instance), for years there's been reports of conflicts (boot hangs, etc.) with ATI OS 9.x extensions (graphics accelerator extension IIRC) and cache enablers. Renaming extensions (space or tilde first letter) to change load order may help. For OS 9.x users, install the 9200 OS 9 drivers before installing the card. Also there's been several problem reports from older macs w/PCI IDE cards or SCSI PCI cards and the 9200 PCI card,

SB Audigy 2 w/ ATI radeon x800 VPU Cr

Heres the problem, I recently purchased a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Value card, got it installed, got drivers, loaded up a game (WC3), and started playing. Halfway through the game, my computer makes the error sound, closes my game, says VPU recovery message, and my speakers are doing the pop-crackle-screeching noise. I reset my computer to find a "missing NTLDR" error. So I fixed the problem(only way was to reinstall windows), and got all my drivers again, got my computer back to normal with the Audigy2 drivers, I played a song in winamp, then my speakers made a big boom noise and then continualy crackling/popping. So I reset my computer, and I had a hal.dll error. I got that fixed, got windows functioning again, then I decided to try going to Dxdiag>Sound and turned my Hardware Sound Acceleration Level to No acceleration. then I loaded up a game, after playing for a while, it exits the game, has popping again, I restart my computer and lo and behold, another error with hal.dll. Now I have tried so many method to fix this, MANY different drivers, but nothing works, my pc never fails to crash with either hal.dll, or NTldr, or NTdetect, or some other kind of error/missing file. Now im wondering if anyones heard/expiereanced this kind of bull****. Below are my pc specs.
Motherboard: Gigabyte k8 TritonSeries Nforce4 : GA-K8NF-9
Video Card: ATI Radeon x800 XL 256
PSU(Power Supply Unit): 500W (Model name is Aspire ATX-AS500W 2V)
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3500+
Sound Card: Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Value
If im not including enough system info, please tell me asap, thnx for any help.

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...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/ByHost /com.apple.preference.displays.<12digitHex#>.plist
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.windowserver.<12digitHe x#>.plist
