Choosing a video card for 1st gen (1,1) mac pro

Hey all,
Buying a video card for my mac pro to upgrade from the stock 256mb nvidia, and have narrowed it to these three cards.
ATI X1900 XT
Nvidia 8800GT
ATI 4870
I know to make sure I buy the versions compatible with my generation mac pro etc, but they're all relatively close in price (within $100), so barring comparison in that area, which of these cards are the best? Or are they all pretty equal? I know very little about video cards.
Also, as an aside, does the ATI 4890HD work with 1st gen mac pros? I've seen ebay auctions claiming they do, but I know better than to take them at face value.

I wouldn't touch the X1900 overpriced and old.
The 8800GT is hard to find but can be on ebay even for 1st gen
ATI 4870 from Apple is safe bet.

  • Better video cards for the new 8-core Mac Pro...?

    I don't know a ton about video cards. I did some research and the internet says that the Nvidia GeForce GTX 295 video card is the best card out right now. Will it work in the 8-core macpro? If not, or if it's not the best, what is the best video card that will work in the 8-core macpro?
    P.S.
    Does anyone know how to tell exactly whether a video card is better from another? I mean I can guess a video card at 1792MB is going to be better then one at 512MB, but I've also heard that, for example, the ATI Radeon HD 4870 512MB is better then the NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512MB, and apple charges more for it so it probably is better, but all that tells me is the name of the cards, and that they are both at 512MB, so from that without any other information I would assume they're exactly the same just made by different companies, but there must be some other details that would explain why it's better right? Thanks in advance

    Well I found out the Quadro FX 4800 works on it, that looks pretty good.
    It's a good card, but it has a different application focus.
    What applications do you use?
    Answering that helps determine what the best card is.
    The 5800 is better though, will it work?
    Better, how?
    The spec's read better?
    How about real world performance?
    Benchmarks?
    They are very similar in shape and such.
    Shape has little to do with anything.
    The ROM is the key.
    If the card is not produced as "OS X compatible", it does not have Mac ROM and cannot be used.
    If there is a Mac edition that is similar (same GPU series, similar architecture) the ROM may be flashed to Mac ROM.
    Especially in Geforce cards, the ability to edit ROMs and even write portions of the ROM is necessary to be able to flash a card.
    Even then, no guarantees.
    Often a port on a flashed card won't work after flashing.
    Seems the 5800 has a 10 bit display port, so if the card were flashable, the display port wouldn't work.
    The ROM chip size of a card is also of concern.
    Many cards require either a new, larger ROM chip to accept the Mac ROM (soldering), or, require a hacked, "reduced" ROM to be written to allow flash.
    Invariably, there will be some feature loss with a reduced ROM, but a good hacker usually gets rid of superfluous stuff.
    Cards with more VRAM than the Mac counterpart will often times lose the extra VRAM- it won't be read by OS X.
    Then there is the EFI question, which often creates a final stumbling block for converting a card.
    There are many pioneers who flash cards.
    If a card is flashable, it has already been done.
    The Quadro 4500, 4800, and 5600 have all been worked out.
    As of yet, the 5800 hasn't been sussed out for flash (as far as I can find).
    Flashing the card is easy.
    Finding a physically compatible card and a compatible ROM are the hard parts.
    The two best retail cards for the Mac Pro are the Geforce GTX 285 and the Radeon HD 4870.

  • Confused about upgrading Video card on 1st Gen Mac Pro

    When looking in the Apple store under video cards it looks like the 8800 or even the ati 2600xt say :
    PCI Express 2.0 but under the reviews for the ati card there are a few posts that say they used this card to upgrade their '06 ' and '07 Mac Pro from the Nvidia 7300 ...
    But if the older Mac Pro's dont have pci express 2.0 how can this be ?
    I also have read that a nvidia 8800 for the 1st gen mac pro may come out but what if it does not ? Whats the deal ? Will there be a video upgrade path for the 1st gen mac pro or not ?
    Why are we being " left out " in the cold for buying a machine a year and a half ago ?
    So basically there is the 7300 or the ati 1900 and thats it for the 1st gen mac pro's ?
    Even my 4 year old PC has video options and its agp !

    If you are bored you might be able to find an early post of mine from the early MacPro days when I commented that MacPro buyers should only buy if they can live with never being to upgrade the graphics card. Apple is Apple and if you know the history of Apple you know that graphics cards are all but ignored. I remain hopeful that Apple, through nVidia, comes out with an 8800 for older Mac Pros, but I don't count on it. The MacPro line has glaring strengths and glaring weaknesses and the dearth of video cards is a glaring weakness. Still better a MacPro with this weakness than a PC box, but with no official word from Apple and all this expectation from a single comment by an nVidia PR person (PR for gosh sakes!), I don't find the rumor to be terribly credible. Hope I'm wrong. Very much so. Hope the oft quoted email by steve j. regarding it being looked at is on the money and we have an announcement tomorrow. Holding my breath till then....

  • Best AGP graphics card for 1st gen Power Mac G5?

    I have a dual 2Ghz 1st generation Power Mac G5 (AGP Graphics).
    I currently have the ATI Radeon 9800 PRO SE 256mb, but in my view it's not fast enough for sane Aperture use.
    What do you recommend? I was looking at the ATI 800 XT, but surely there are newer and better ones.
    Also, Is there a 850 XT onsale or was it only ever 'build to order'? I can't find it on ATI's website, they only have the 800 XT.
    Thanks

    The 800xt is available from the apple store and I believe from ATI directly. Surf on over to barefeats.com and check out their performance tests on core image functions and various video cards, the 800 holds its own even with newer cards like the nvidia 7800 available as a bto in the newer G5's. The reason I believe that the 800xt is the end of the road for us AGP G5 owners is that even if we modded a newer card to work (as some out there are doing) there is a limit on the throughput, and the extra capacity goes unused. Getting the 800xt will get you through to the next generation of Powermacs-guess they will drop the power part-perhaps MacTowers-where PCI express will open up the options to whatever the PC community is putting out, with the exception of driver support I guess. But the 800 is good enough combined with 2 or more gigs of memory, and perhaps at somepoint, you might consider a RAID solution if you want to squeeze another year or so out without upgrading.

  • Video card for 1st generation Mac Pro

    My X1900 card in the Mac Pro 1st generation has died. I've searched the board and the replacement cards seem to be older and not sold any more. Does anyone know what will work? I went to an Apple Store today and the "genius" said I needed a new X1900. I told him I didn't think they were made any more. I did a Web search and it seems Apple has known about this problem and was replacing them up to January 2011. Wish I was contacted about this by Apple; they have records that I purchased the card. I've had problems with this for quite some time. I thought upgrading to Snow Leopard would help but I seemed to get more crashes after the upgrade.

    If this image attached is what you have that died you can have this to bolt on to your original graphics card, it should work just fine as a GPU replacement. It worked fine for me, it's just that the X1900 for me when I used the 1st gen Mac Pro didn't suit my needs.
    I've never wanted to throw it away. The board and copper cooling system it was attached to was too cumbersome.
    Let me know and I'll ship it to you.

  • Airport Extreme card for 1st Gen. Mac Pro

    Hey guys. I have a 1st gen. (purchased Sept 2006) Mac Pro that doesn't have the Airport card installed. Which card do I need to buy and where I can find it? What is the model/service part number I need? I called two Apple stores in OK and they said they could install the part but they couldn't order it for me.
    My serial number is G86**UPZ if that helps any.
    Thanks!

    http://www.macwireless.com/ may sell a PCI card you can use.
    There are also ethernet to WiFi bridges you can use too.

  • How does Photoshop CS6 choose the video card for its Graphics Processor?

    Running a Intel Mac on 10.74 - CS6
    I have two video cards running three Dell Monitors.
    The ATI 5770 (runs the 24") is on the 16 lane PCI slot and the older Nvidea 8800 GT (running two Dell 19") is on the 8 lane slot.
    But photoshop chooses the slower card on the slower lane.
    Any advise welcome to change this.

    It's not really Adobe's fault.
    The simple fact is that most of the software design that supports display processing is still mired in the days where a computer had one monitor.  Making things worse is the fact that the GPU makers don't really have any incentive to make their hardware/software work in a system with other GPU makers' hardware.  In a selfish sense, quite the opposite.  Who's at fault when your ATI and nVidia cards don't work together?
    Macs have just as many problems as PCs - possibly more, since Mac users don't have the luxury of mixing and matching driver versions.
    Many modern video cards are made now to support sometimes up to 4 monitors.

  • What's the best graphic card for FCP X and a Mac Pro (early) 2008?

    I have a Radeon HD 3870 in my Mac Pro, it seems that I cannot use this configuration with Final Cut Pro X. Then what's the best graphic card for FCP X usable in a Mac Pro (early) 2008?
    Thx,
    Phil

    You can get a 5770 radeon ATI MAC card
    Avoid the 5770 cards on ebay and Amazon - many are black market or manipulated cards. 
    Buy it from Apple online store or B&H photo or Macconection
    And in my case, I was able to sell my old 2600 XT card on ebay for $65 and put that money toward a 5770 card (Which was about $230 minus the $65)
    I installed the 5770 in my early Mac Pro 2 x 2.8 and it works great

  • Procuring and installing a bluetooth card for 1st gen imac G5

    Hello,
    I'd like to install an internal bluetooth card on my early G5 iMac. Can I do that? And if so, how would I go about it?
    Thank you so much,
    Sincerely,
    Tabeer

    There are three things you need to install the Bluetooth card on the iMac: the card, the antenna, and a small bracket for the end of the antenna.
    I looked on the web just today to find the answer to that and most all said it can not be done. I just installed one on a 1.6 MHz G5 iMac. I piulled the components off a 1.8 MHz G5 iMac.
    You need to be comfortable opening the iMac. I had almost nothing to lose here because my 1.8 MHz failed (capacitors) and I had done quite a bit to try to resurrect it - I had the mother board out of the machine. Interestingly, to do this operation, you actually do less dissassembly than taking the mother board out. The trick is to leave the mother board in the frame, and remove the frame from the case (white thing with the LCD screen).
    More specifically:
    notice that the airport antenna (follow from the Airport card) disappears under the mother board near the lower left corner (face down);
    just below the airport card is where the bluetooth card goes - plugs in w/connector and two screws.
    remove the power supply;
    remove the optical drive;
    remove the hard drive;
    disconnect the LCD panel connector - 2 screws;
    disconnect two connectors on the left side (as you are looking at the thing face down) - one is under the optical drive, and the other you have to follow the cable you just disconnected down under a slender grey plastic component (Airport antenna part?) Take that component out too - 1 screw;
    remove three screws across the top, just below the top edge of the case (white thing);
    remove three more screws - one at each bottom corner (face down) and one mid way up the left side (these screws have coarse wood threads vs machine threads);
    tilt up the metal frame with the mother board attached and lift it out.
    the bluetooth antenna goes through a small "hole" in the sheet metal and then follows a bundle of black and brown wires to the right (face down) - there are 3 or 4 "tabs" made out of the sheet metal;
    there is a distinct bend in the metal frame where a plastic bracket is glued in place and holds the end of the antenna, which has a printed circuit board about 1" long by 1/8" x 1/8".
    It was relatively easy.

  • Which video card for video editing?

    I am about to order my first iMac. I've always had MacBook Pros and have never had to choose a video card as I always just got the one that came with the laptop. I will primarlily use the iMac for video editing using FCPX
    I do not know what kind of impact the video card has on vdeo editing with FCPX.
    I do not play video games and I do not create complex 3D graphics.
    Will I notice any better performance if I go for the faster, more expensive video card that is offered for the iMac?

    AppleBrianJones wrote:
    …  will I notice a difference in performance if I go for the faster, more expensive video card…?
    not on edit.
    on Im-/Export, a 'faster' GPU with more VRam could make a difference.
    but ... 'waiting' 12 or 15minutes? ... is a 20% improvement, but less than a coffee/cigarette/hello-my-dear-texting. Plus,you can do other things meanwhile ...

  • How do I choose which video card AE uses?

    Howdy,
    I have two video cards in my system which I use for editing, motion grahics and animation.  My new card has 3x the amount of ram as the older card yet AE chooses the older card for previews.  Is there somewhere I can change that in prefs?
    Thanks,
    Curtis

    Regarding video RAM: There is some benefit in giving the OpenGL renderer more texture memory (if you're using the OpenGL renderer at all, that is).
    from "Render with OpenGL":
    "To modify the amount of texture memory, choose Edit > Preferences > Previews (Windows) or After Effects > Preferences > Previews (Mac OS), click OpenGL Info, and enter a value for Texture Memory of no more than 80% of the installed video RAM (VRAM) on your video card."
    The default is set way too low for modern cards, which have so much more memory.
    But, all that said, the OpenGL renderer isn't really worth giving much thought to in After Effects. I only ever use it for the OpenGL - Interactive previews.

  • Need advice on choosing a video card.

    I am in the process of assembling a newer PC for editing & rendering footage primarily from Nikon dslrs.  I have a 5960X chip, Gigabyte GA-99 MB with 24 GB RAM and 512 GB SSD for C: drive.  At NAB I talked with Adobe, Nvidia & AMD reps and I'm still confused on choosing a video card within reasonable cost and the BEST performance!  My choices so far are the AMD 8100 for ~1000$ & Nvidia 2000 for ~350$, 4000 for ~790$, 4200 for ~890$ and can't afford the 6000.  Of my choices which would be the better choice (or your suggestions)?

    None of them. The only sensible choices would be the nVidia GTX 970 or 980.
    See Tweakers Page
    The AMD is twice the price of the 980 and delivers half the performance. The Quadro K4200 is also overpriced and performs no better than the old GTX 660Ti for around € 275.
    Better increase memory to 32 or 64 GB. 24 causes slow performance because of not using the quad channel architecture.

  • Dual Monitor video cards for HP Pro 3400

    I am looking to add a 2nd monitor to my HP Pro 3400 MT and want to make sure I get a video card that will not have any compatibility issues.  I'm not doing any gaming so I don't think I need anything super fancy and I would prefer not to have to upgrade the power supply.
    So my questions are:
    Is the HP Pro 3400 MT compatible witha PCI Express 3.0 card?  2.1 ?
    How much power draw from the video card would require me to upgrade the power supply (my PC is stock, no added peripherals).  Is there a way for me to determine how much is being currently (no pun intended) drawn?
    Are there any drawbacks to usnig the built-in video card for 1 monitor and a new, single-ouput card for the other (vs a dual-output card) ?
    Anything else I need to consider when deciding on a new video card?
    Thanks.

  • Which video card for Aperture and dual monitors?

    I have a G5 dual 2.0 with a GeForce FX 5200 video card that is driving one 23" Cinema display. I need to upgrade my card per the specs to run Aperture. I have also been thinking of getting a second 23" display. Can someone recommend the best video card for me. I know very little about video cards and have been reading a lot this morning. Thanks,
    Dave

    Hi Dave;
    No. PCIx and PCIe or PCI Express are not the same thing.
    PCIx is an extended or slight sped up version of PCI. While PCIe is a switched bus structure instead.
    Hence they are not the same. That is what all of the big news is about Apple has made the leap over to PCI Express.
