looks a little like a downgrade to me - the article doesn't really deal with downgrading to the 'original' MacPro (?wonderng why? - 5770 shot? and X1900 lying around?)
Never tried to downgrade... so I'm out.

Can I change graphic card ATI radeon 3200 HD to NVIDIA Gforce go series?

AMD turion X2 64 Toshiba Equium 300d-16c graphic card ATI radeon 3200 HD........
Can I change my graphic card into NVIDIA? cause im a gamerz and I want to have a high graphics when im playing.
Can i change my ATI 3200 into NVIDIA geforce go series?
Please help

Unfortunately graphic card exchange is not possible.
Every notebook has specific hardware platform and each of them is optimized to work properly (BIOS, cooling system and so on).
So this is definitely not possible.

I have a problem with Imac mid 2010 graphics card (ATI Radeon 5670 512MB)

I have a problem with Imac mid 2010 graphics card (ATI Radeon 5670 512MB). When I play video formats like xvid, mkv, avi iMac freezes and emits horrible sound,in service said the problem is not overheating. Not a problem with memory or hard disk because I placed second correct parts.The same problem is with OSX 10.6.8 and 10.8.4 and other players.Apple hardware test found no problem and tech tool pro found no fault.
After five days of testing in the service they can not found fault and it was decided to change the graphics card.
New graphics have been tested for two days but it is not reproduced divx ... but their test software which did not find any fault on the old graphics...
Do I have the right to complain if repair does not fix the problem because I use non apple softwere and video formats.

You could look at the System Profile for the info it presents for the card. But why wouldn't you think it's not up to date if you have the latest install (according to your sig above)?
What program are you trying to run? Is there anything in the system log?
I think it's the program that's having the problem and not anything with your video software.

Will my graphics card ATI Radeon HD 5000 1024 MB give me the power/speed benefits of Premiere cs6

will my graphics card ATI Radeon HD 5000 1024 MB give me the power/speed benefits of Premiere cs6??

As cc_merchant implied, Premiere Pro CS6 does not support OpenCL at all (in the Windows versions of Premiere) for MPE GPU acceleration. Your system with such a GPU would perform more or less equal to a system that has no discrete GPU at all (one that relies solely on an integrated graphics solution on the CPU or motherboard) because the MPE is permanently locked to the software-only mode. If you do see any tangible increase in the response of your current setup as compared to an otherwise identical system without a discrete GPU at all, it's because your system leaves more system RAM available for Premiere to work with.

What I need to know is would it be better / faster going for 1 x ATI Radeon HD 5870 1 GB or stick with the 2 x HD 5770's graphc cards?
I popped into The Apple store in Regent Street, London today and as a Joint Venture Business account holder I got to see someone straight away and no one could answer me the question which would be better or faster?
1 x ATI Radeon HD 5870
or the
2 x ATI Radeon HD 5770
I work with extremely High Resoultion Image and design files, so it's imperitive to get the best.
I very much look forward to your valued opiions.

Hi Bob,
From Apple's page: http://www.apple.com/macpro/features/graphics.html
Give your graphics a turbo boost.
For even more graphics horsepower, upgrade to the ATI Radeon HD 5870 with 1GB of GDDR5 memory. An ideal choice for the most demanding applications, this card features a wider memory bus and higher-performance GPU, resulting in up to 70 percent faster performance compared with the ATI Radeon HD 5770.
You need the 5870 it is 70% faster, but more importantly you do not want the Apple monitors for critical photography applications.
I would STRONGLY suggest the NEC wide gamut calibration monitors. I use the 30" PA301WBKSV models, but if budget is constrained, they also make a 27" model for about 40% less.
The difference between a wide gamut and a regular (Apple) monitor is startling. You will save time and money due to the accuracy of the color causing fewer reprints. You literally will see colors you have never seen before on a screen.
At the very least, buy one of the wide gamut for adjustment work, and the lesser monitor for the non-critical pallette purposes.
Also, I would not buy either the RAM or SSDs from Apple, as there are better and cheaper alternatives out there. The 480GB Mercury EXTREME™ Pro 6G SSD are less money, double as fast as Apple and have a 5 year warranty.
I would also recommend more RAM, I use 48GB and never run into pageouts. You can buy the 48.0GB OWC Memory (3 x 16.0GB PC10600 DDR3 ECC 1333MHz 240 Pin) for a little more than you are paying Apple for 12GB, and this RAM is a lifetime warranty.
Hope this helps

Graphic card ATI RADEON HD 5450 and EMPIRE TOTAL WAR

It is very strange, I'v plaied some days, but now, nothing.
I have an ATI RADEON HD 5450
What is the possible problem?
Thanks for every help
Paolo, form Italy

Paolo, the first thing that I would do is install the latest patch for the game. Next, install the latest software suite from ATI; Catalyst Control Center. This will allow you to control the fan speed of the video card. If this doesn't solve your problem, let us know.

128MB VRAM instead of 256MB on ATI Radeon x1900

I just bought and installed a graphic card ati radeon x1900 mac edition pci-express, 256 MB.
Easily installed and running. However, it registers only 128MB of VRAM.
On ati/amd homepage they this is a Mac issue. Anyone know of this problem or how to solve it?
Question is also if it is a soft- or hardware problem.
Regards and thanx in advance.

You're Welcome!
If you download ATIcellerator II, an overclocking utility, using the "Info tab" will tell you how much VRAM the software sees.
BTW, the software is benign, unless used for its purpose- overclocking your card. It's a good utility, but, if one plays with overclocking carelessly, well, you'll be shopping for a new card....

ATI radeon X1900 vs ATI Radeon 9650

Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone could help me find out if my actual graphic card (ATI Radeon 9650 256MB) is my best option running Final cut pro studio and other graphics software or is there something better like the (ATI radeon X1900).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi,
you can not have ATI X1900 G5 card for your computer. This is a PCIe card and you have AGP - but I suppose you know that.
So, the best option for you (and better than Radeon 9650) is ATI X800XT or NVIDIA 6800 Ultra DDL. They are similiar (in performance) cards - it depends on the test. Check this sites:

Mac Pro Early (2008) and ATI Radeon X1900 XT

Hey, I recently got the new Mac Pro (2008), and wanted to put my old ATI Radeon X1900 XT in my new machine, however when i put it in the extra wide x16 PCIe 2.0 slot, secured it and fired up my machine, the screen remained black and the fans went constantly on full speed, i swapped over the DVI to the other graphics card, ATI Radeon HD 2600 in slot 2. In system profiler it didn't recognise the X1900 XT.
According to the apple site, a PCIe 1.1 card can be put in a 2.0 slot and vice versa, so im not quite sure why its not working!
Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated .
Chris

It appears that you can run the 1900 xt in the new Mac Pro early 2008. Rob Morgan has benchmarked the results. Apparently it works well in gaming, however, it does not offer all that much over the stock 2600 xt for Motion performance. With Motion the 1900 XT was only a few seconds faster than 2600 XT. Good luck.

Please help: what options do we have other than ATI Radeon X1900 XT

I think my video card (ATI Radeon X1900 XT) is about to die and I'm trying to figure out what to replace it with. (I'm on a 1st gen MacPro, still on Tiger).
What I can't easily figure out from this site, however, is a list of alternative cards I could purchase that will fit in this machine. I gather from the ratings that the ATI X1900 has failed for just about everyone that has used it intensely. And I'd like to avoid buying the same one that is about to fail for me now, but how can I tell what my alternatives are and if they will fit in the slot and/or be compatible with my machine?
I have been to the Mac Pro spec area, and it lists these as the "build to order" options:
* ATI Radeon X1900 XT 512MB (two dual-link DVI)
* NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 512MB (stereo 3D, two dual-link DVI)
* Two NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 256MB
* Three NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 256MB
* Four NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 256MB
are those the only cards I can choose from? Are there any other better options?
Forgive me if I sound like a totally idiot. I'm just trying to learn...

You should visit Bare Feats and see the various reviews and benchmarks. You have several options now available besides the ones that came originally with your model. There is now an NVidia 8800 card in a version for pre-2008 MPs, the ATI 2600, and the new ATI 3870 just released. You can learn more at Bare Feats and by searching the MP forums.
You have posted this topic in the MacBook Pro forum which is the wrong forum for your question.

10.5.5 + PowerMac G5 w/ ATI Radeon X1900 Graphics Card (256MB) Bad combo.

10.5.5 is not displaying video properly. Elgato seemed to have narrowed it down to a specific computer setup with an OpenGL change from the 10.5.5 update.
http://support.elgato.com/index.php?m=knowledgebase&a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=3097
My screen shot is the one used in the knowledgebase document. I now see that Apple DVD Player and flip4mac in quicktime have the same look. The audio is fine. VLC can play all of the files with no problem.
If you have the same setup:
PowerMac G5 tower (single or multiple processor), with a ATI Radeon X1900 Graphics Card (256MB) please post if you are having this problem or not.

The fastest way (which will take a while) is to:
1) Make sure you have an up to date backup with time machine.
2) Boot from your Leopard install disc or disc that came with your computer.
3) When choosing an install method you can choose an archive and install or erase and install.
4) After the OS is installed it will ask you if you want to restore files from another drive, partition, mac or time machine.
5) Choose time machine and get your files restored.
6) Once the mac is started up.
7) Go here http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1054comboupdate.html and download the 10.5.4 combo update.
8)You then need to use software update to install all of the updates that came after 10.5. UNCHECK the 10.5.5 Combo Update. You can even select to ignore that update by checking the box next to so that it is selected and then selecting ignore update from the update menu in the menu bar.
I have not tried using Time Machine to go back an OS version. I will experiment with that.
I can also tell you how to clone your drive to another drive using the same DVD as above and two hard drives.
I hope this helps.

Upgrade MacPro1,1 with ATI Radeon X1900 XT 512 MB and Open GL 1.7.7. to recommended system requirements for heli simulator: OpenGL Version 2.1 compatible 3D-graphics card from NVIDIA or ATI with 512MB.

I want to install a helicopter simulator into my MacPro1,1 with ATI Radeon X1900 XT 512 MB and Open GL 1.7.7. Recommended system requirements for the heli simulator are: OpenGL Version 2.1 compatible 3D-graphics card from NVIDIA or ATI with 512MB (at least as fast as NVIDIA 8600, 9400 or ATI Radeon HD 2400). Is there such a graphics card available that will work in my Mac Pro?

Are you really still running 10.6.3? you will need 10.6.5+ so do that and make a clone.
ATI 5770 from Apple Store - like 1000s of others have done and in the comments section on the store page.

ATI Radeon X1900 XT 512 MB graphics card has failed?

I think my ATI Radeon X1900 XT 512 MB graphics card has failed...
This is a MacPro 1,1 (2006). We're on our yacht in a French territory, South Pacific, so local support is non-obtainium. I would appreciate any advice on how I can confirm my graphics card is dead.
I have only 23" Apple Cinema Display for testing. The display works great on MBP, so that end is good.
The MacPro seems to boot normally - AFAIK based on startup sounds, fan, RAM LED diagnostic lights.
Suggestions?

Case A) the screen goes blank at the login screen
invoke Safe Mode (hold down the Shift key at Startup).
This performs a five minutes or so Disk Utility ( Repair Disk) on the boot drive, then demands your userId and password, even if you normally auto-login.
Safe Mode only loads the absolutely essential Drivers, and the graphics drivers are not considered essential. So screen re-draw may be slow, but you can check your email, surf a little, do many operations that do not require graphics acceleration.
Edit movies? Probably not.
Case B) your screen completely blank
If the power-on light flashes in a pattern, that indicates not enough good RAM to start up.
If no power light flashing, you need some function you can invoke that will show a non-graphics result.
The Caps Lock light on the keyboard is under software Control. If it works, at least the SMC controller that talks to the keyboard is working.
Holding down Control while pressing the Eject key on the keyboard brings up this familiar dialog box, whether you can see it or not:
any key except:
R for Restart;
S for Sleep;
Esc for cancel;
and return for the default Shut Down
should cause the System Beep sound. S should Sleep it, and the power light should shortly indicate that it is sleeping. Any key will then wake it up.

ATI RADEON X1900 XT GRAPHICS UPG KIT

Hi all,
I was wondering if the Mac Pro ATI RADEON X1900 XT GRAPHICS UPG KIT compatible with the G5. I ordered two of these cards one for my office computer and home studio computer. But i also have a G5 i use.

No. They are different. Apple has a tech note on the subject. the Mac Pro is/requires EFI ROM, PPC G5 use Open Firmware.

Brandnew 8-core MacPro and ATI Radeon X1900 xt

I had this quadcore MacPro with an ATI Radeon X1900 XT and now I am switching to a newer octo-core MacPro.
I managed to install the card into the computer case. But alas, i don't see anything on my screen...
System Profiler discovers the card but gives it an generic name "Display" with Vendor ATI and DeviceID 0x7249.
But no "displays" found attached to it, which is b.s.
Please please don't tell me i cannot use this graphics card in the octo-core MacPro?!

I am surprised .... I don't have (any ideas), so I don't know for sure
You know, that doesn't help or further things and puts out false ideas that there even might. Then I'll hear "but I read somewhere something."
Apple changed the firmware on 2008. That is well known and pretty obvious, and graphic cards have to follow suit.
Nvidia doesn't seem to know or follow ATI's path of using a "hybred" (for want of better term) EFD? ROM that works across EFI32 and EFI64. Been explained over and over, or if not explained, given as cause to why.
At least we have a few years before EFI128!
NVidia GeForce 7400 gfx card
Now that is very elusive.
The 7300GT works only in 2006-7 Mac Pro, which were dual processor / dual or quad-core, but all used EFI32; 667MHz FBDIMM; had 1333MHz front side bus; PCIe 1.0/1.1 (but not PCIe 2.0 that came out in 2008).
And with brand new 2009, DDR3, you graphic option is really between GTX 285 and ATI HD 4870 - forget the GT120 even as a viable option for most.
