Cinemadesktop On MacPro X1900

Hallo,
I have a New MacPro with a X1900 Card. I just cant get a Cinemadesktop.
If I look in Video Playback, there is No DIgital Cinema Desktop Preview.
Under Prefs Audio/Video settings there issn't a display under Video Playback.
Removed al the 3 prefs file and deleted them form the Trashcan Did run a repair permisions, but still no DIgital Cinema Desktop Preview
Tried also to replace my 23" Apple display on the other DVI connector but no luck.
I do have a DIgital Cinema Desktop Preview on my MacBook Pro and iMac, but not on my MacPro with X1900. I installed FCS on a machien at my local dealer, there is them a DIgital Cinema Desktop Preview.
Before I install a complete new OS and FCS is there some one with a MacPro and a XT1900 card and do you have a DIgital Cinema Desktop Preview ?
If they have a DIgital Cinema Desktop Preview, what can I do before I install the complete total fresh installation.

Don't know if this info from Apple will solve your problem,
but have a look:
• About the Digital Cinema Desktop Preview feature in Final Cut Pro HD

ATI X1950XTX/CrossFire is out! Could that explain MacPro X1900 delays?

Well after all it seems ATI X1900 order delays could be X1950 related!
ATI introduced new cards:
X1950XTX/CrossFire
X1900XT/256Mb
X1650Pro
http://enthusiast.hardocp.com/article.html?art=MTE0NCwxLCxoZW50aHVzaWFzdA==
Main thing for shure is LOW NOISE! Fan is said doesn't even move at idle!!
EDIT:
MSI,Gigabyte,Sapphire,Asus pages were updated just minutes later!

...or maybe there is just so much demand that they need to produce enough of them first
Though I would prefer that Apple is delaying because of the newer card and lower noise, that's always a bonus.

OpenGL not available on MacPro ATI X1900 XT 512MB with CS4?

Hi,
i have a MacPro (2x2 2.66GHz, OSX 10.5.4) with 12GB RAM and a ATI X1900 XT 512MB graphic card (ROM: 113-A52027-202) and a NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT.
When opening CS4 preferences i can NOT enable the OpenGL Drawing. The feature is greyed out. Under "Detected video card" stands nothing - no card detected. I read the TechNote from Adobe but could not locate any problem. The computer, the graphic card and the driver are up-to-date. (TechNote: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.doexternalId=kb404898#driverversion).
I even tried the "AllowOldGPUS.plugin" from Adobe without any change.
Do others have this problem too? Any idea what to change?
Thank you very much.

PShock you are correct I must have been an older model Radeon card I was thinking of but clearly you are correct.
 
 The Blackmagic Intensity and Intensity Pro is not a graphic or display car it is a dedicated Video in and Video out card for capturing HDV and also analog to HDV as well as displaying on a Video Monitor as you capture and edit.
 
 It will not be listed under Display and Graphics in the system profile but rather in the PC slot area.
 
 It has no effect on the Open GL mechanism.
 
 I have it installed as I wrote along side of my Nvidia 880 and it work fine with open GL in PS 4 nothing different what so ever.
 
 Although the poster does not state what kind of Blackmagic card?
 
 Even so I do not see how it could possibly interfere.
 
 here you can see for yourself it is two different types of cards.

Signal Problem MacPro 1.1 w/ATI Radeon X1900 XT

Before I run out an purchase a new video card wanted to run my issue by the forum. I have a MacPro 1.1 (early 2007) with a ATI Radeon X1900 XT card. When booting up recently my screen is blank, no signal. If I switch video ports it fires up.
Is this a video card issue or something else with the OS (running Mac OS X 10.6.6 (10J567))?
Would appreciate a little insight from the forum.
Thanks,
Koyangie

1. There was a replacement program that ended 1/31/2011 for some X1900
2. Any owner by know should have known and been doing a good deep cleaning for dust, and upping the system fans a tiny notch (900 rpm is quiet but more efficient) to keep more air circulating
3. While you can't directly measure GPU temps, you can with other sensors
4. Do you hear the video card fans or system fans working hard?
Poor design with the cooling chamber on X1900 made it a dust magnet and headache.

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.

Can I put two ATI Radeon X1900 XT's into a MacPro?

Hi
We've just bought a MacPro, with 3 NVIDEA 7300 cards. Sadly it seems the 7300 does not support the apple DVI-Video adapter. Our system requires three dual link DVI ports supporting the adapter, so on face value we should be able achieve this by removing the 7300's and installing two ATI Radeon X1900 XT's instead.
The question is is it possible to put two ATI Radeon X1900 XT's into a MacPro? Has any one done this? or indeed does anyone know how to get the 7300's to recognize a DVPAL device such as video projector or analogue video monitor?
Cheers

MacPro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

PCI-E (Peripheral Component Interconnect-Express) is a newer implementation of PCI which uses a much faster physical-layer communications protocol than older PCI bus architectures.
Rather than using a bus as PCI did, PCI-E uses dedicated, unidirectional, point-to-point connections known as "lanes" to communicate with PCI-E devices.
The Mac Pro features four PCI-E 16-"lane" connectors on the main logic board. In PCI-E, these are known as "x16" slots. These can be used for PCI-E-compatible cards, like the ATI Radeon card that is available as a configure-to-order option in the Mac Pro.
PCI-E cards will work in slots that are at least as large as the card is. This means that the "x16" slots in the Mac Pro computer also supports "x1" and "x4" cards as well. However, all four slots cannot simultaneously support four cards that implement the same lane configuration. Only one slot actually has 16 lanes going to it—you can put a x16 card into a slot that is only using one lane and it will operate properly, but it will operate more slowly than the same card in a x4, x8 or x16 slot.
The Expansion Slot Utility, located in /System/Library/Core Services, allows you to configure the PCI-E expansion slots and how many lanes each slot will support, as illustrated below. This example shows a "x16" graphics card occupying the first slot, and the other slots are configured to support an "x1" card in slot two and "x4" cards in slots three and four. The example shows the other options available. When you have picked the appropriate configuration of slots to support your compliment of PCI-E cards, click the Save and Restart... button to implement the configuration.

ATI Radeon X1900 XT only for MacPro?

I Just noticed this this morning at Apple's Online Store ( US )
"ATI Radeon X1900 XT Graphics Upgrade Kit US$ 399.00"
I wonder if this will work in the G5 with Dual Cores ( and Quad ) PCIe ?

Ok thanks Jewell, What a Bugger eh?
X800XT for PCI-X G5's and ATI Radeon X1900 XT for MacPro's and nothing for the PCI-E last generation G5's! (unless you BTO).
I have seen your posts here about the lack of video card upgrades for the Quad, and I feel for you ... it's got to be exasperating !!
It will not unfortunately. Its to do with the way
video cards are recognised by the host system and the
x1900 is for MacPro only.
However.
Joe Schorr has confirmed in these forums that ATI
will be releasing a dual-core G5 edition of the x1900
(?) card which would finally make this Apple's first
video upgrade card since the dual-core G5 (quads)
were launched in October 05. Way to go Apple...
I read your repost of it.

ATI Radeon X1900 XT driver for MacPro

I put an ATI Radeon X1900 XT for MacPro in my 2 x 3 GHz MacPro. It displays only 1280 x 800 on my 30" Cinema. Do I need to install a driver, and if so, where to get the driver since card did not come with CD and AMD site has not posted a driver?
2 x 3 GHz MacPro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

zspike --
You don't need drivers -- they're built in to the OS. However, it would be nice to use the ATi displays panel, so you can turn on various app-specific speed settings and features like full-screen antialiasing.
Now, version 4.5.9 of ATi Displays is a Universal Binary, but ATi in their infinite wisdom have made it so that it WILL NOT install on a Mac Pro, only a G5.
But there's a way around this:
http://forum.macbidouille.com/index.php?showtopic=199963
Have a look at post No. 8. Simply put the displays.app in your /Applications/Utilities folder, and run it from there. Runs no problem. I couldn't get the Prefs Pane to work, but all that does is launch the Displays.app
Have fun!

Confused about Cinema 30" MacPro and Radeon x1900 help?

Hey guys, I'm just about to get the 30" monitor for my Macpro which is about 2 years old. I have the ATI radeon x1900xt card installed. I need help
1) Will this card work with the monitor in its fullest resolution?
2) Does the monitor come with that dual link dvi cable, or do I need to spend more money on something else to get the best resolution etc.??
Thanks
Mo

On that video card, both of the DVI outputs are dual-link, meaning it can support two 30" displays at full res, so no problem there.
As far as a dual-link DVI cable is concerned, every 30" monitor that I am familiar with ships with one, so you shouldn't need to buy a separate one. Whatever cable comes with the monitor will give the best resolution.

MacPro, ATI Radeon X1900 XT + dual Dell 2407WFP

Hi all,
I have problems running 2 Dell 2407WFP displays in the highest resolution (1920x1200).
I have no problem running 1 display using DVI.
When I add the 2nd display, with DVI, it does not detect a signal. When I change the connection of the 2nd display from DVI to VGA (with adapter) it works. However, now the maximum resolution is 1024x768)
How do I set this system up so that both diplays will show 1920x1200?
Thanks,
Oscar.

Does it make a difference which way display you connect to which port as you should be able to use DVI with both displays. Also, check you cables. Make sure they both work. Also, try the usual round of resets like PRAM…

DVI to video MacPro with a NVIDIA GeForce GT 120

Hi All
I am currently trying to connect an external projector to create a second desktop.
I have tried using the DVI to Video adapter, but this doesn't seem to work. The adapter works fine with macbook pro though.
Is it something to do with the graphics card being a NVIDIA GeForce GT 120, and not a ATI X1900 XT - which seems to be what is suggested under the product description in the apple store?
If this is the case, what cable will allow me to create a video (preferably a composite) out from the DVI connector on the back of this MacPro.
The MacPro has one DVI video out and one MiniDisplay out. The monitor is using the MiniDisplay port out and I would prefer to not convert this i.e. DVI to a mini Display out for the monitor, and then use a MiniDisplay port as the video out for the projector - attaching some kind of MiniDP to video adapter. Although I don't know if that is possible.
Any suggestions as to the best solutions are much appreciated.
Neil

Conversion of the signals provided on a DVD-I connector to Composite Video and/or S-Video requires some circuitry in the adapter. To support that, the DVI port would have to supply power. My suspicion is that only the X1900 does this, but some research may determine whether your GT120 supplies power or not.
VGA requires no additional circuitry, because the VGA signals are present at the end of the connector, in the bar and four pins directly around it.

Using a VGA monitor with Mac Pro: DVI to VGA adaptor cord & X1900 card

I will be purchasing the MacPro with the ATI Radeon X1900 XT. However, I want to continue using my dual Viewsonic CRT screens till the end of the year until I make the leap to a new LCD display. I know Apple sells a DVI to VGA connector and in fact I believe it to be included as an accessory.
Here is my question:
The graphics card I am buying (the X1900) is designated as a DUAL LINK DVI. The Apple DVI to VGA adaptor cord has a DVI -I SINGLE LINK male connector. Will this DVI-I single link connector properly mate to the female dual link connector on the X1900 graphics card? If it will, I'm probably in business. If it won't, does anyone have an idea for a workaround?
Many thanks, John

VIDEO CARDS QuadroFX4500 and RADEON X1900 won't work

I have the TWO VIDEO CARDS AND CAN'T RUN VIDEO WITHOUT IT GETTING STUTTERING VIDEO. LOOKS LIKE NOT ENOUGH MEMORY. WITH JUST THE 4500 ATTACHED TO 2 30 INCH APPLE MONITORS I WOULD GET A HORIZONTAL LINE ABOUT 1/3 FROM THE TOP OF THE SCREEN. SWITCH DVI'S AND IT APPEARS ON THE OTHER MONOTOR, SO ITS NOT THE MONITORS. USED THE HARDWARE DISC AND THE LINE SHOWS UP WHEN YOU START. HAVE HAD THE $500 REPLACED TWICE BECAUSE APPLE SAYS THATS THE PROBLEM BUT THE LINE STAYS. NEVER MIND I CAN'T CONNECT THE OTHER 2 30 INCH APPLE MONITORS WITHOUT EVERYTHING SLOWING DOWN. I HAVE ONLY APPLE SOFTWARE ONE THE 07 MACPRO WITH 6GIGS OF DRAM AND TWO HARD DRIVES 500 GIGS AND 750 GIGS and one 750 external Seagate hard drive.

Sorry, didn't realize till later,I wasn't looking. No they never worked together. Actually I first had a nVidia GeForce 7300 GT from apple to go with the 4500, but it still sits in a box, was completely incompatible or pooched???. The Quadro 4500 always gave me a horizontal line when only two 30 inch Apple monitors were hooked up.Its been replaced a couple of times, still the horizontal line remains. Recently I acquired the X1900 thinking the dual dvi output could run one more 30 incher and one single link out to my 55 inch plasma(a dream I once had). I can get slideshows from Aperture to run, but no full screen video. It slugs along skipping every few frames. My 2 year nightmare continues. Thanks for your inquiry though maybe you know what is or should I say isn't happening. This is my second computer since my Commodore Vic-20. The first one was a G5 fully loaded that blew up 3 weeks after its arrival and finally was returned for my current Macpro. Thank you Applecare! I'm a very frustrated Newbie.

Crash with ATI Radeon X1900 XT and second HD display (DVI) ?

hi ! i have a realy tough one for you guys : since 3-4 days i've been getting this realy strange (and scary!) kernal panic screen / crashes / freeze with my macpro dual 2.66 with ati radeon X1900 xt.
the crashes keep coming while doing extensive work (video converting, renders) or just letting the macpro running doing nothing much all night long...
now this is what i found for now : if i disconect my 2nd display (samsung syncmaster 2493hm HD in DVI 1080p) it seem to be stable. when i reconnect it sometime it can run again with this 2nd display for a while but when i leave a render all night long the next morning it will be frozen, nothing on screen (all black).
after rebooting it get this crash report from the system :

Are you really still running 10.6.3? you will need 10.6.5+ so do that and make a clone.

MacPro Dual Use--Mac OS X and Windows?

I'm planning to purchase 2 MacPro stations for our school next year, however, I need some advice. The workstation will be used mostly for video editing--Final Cut Pro and other Mac OS X related activities, however, we need to run Windows-based applications such as SolidWorks and AutoCAD once every now and then. Furthermore, SolidWorks requires a robust video card. The software maker recommends Quadro FX cards. At present there is only one Quadro FX card available for the MacPro; it's price, however, is too high for us. Is it possible to run Mac OS X with the video card that comes installed with the MacPro when it ships and also boot up in Window XP or Vista via BootCamp using a second windows-only video card that would be specially suited to handle 3D modelling (SolidWorks) in a Windows environment? This would save me the need to purchase 2 Mac boxes and 2 Windows boxes. What difficulties would I encounter with the setup described above? Do you have any other recommendations as to what I could do? I'm also hearing rumors that Apple is planning to upgrade its MacPro workstation with possible new Quadro FX cards. Any other ideas?
PowerMac G5 2.3 Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

If you use Boot Camp to create a Windows boot partition, then you can use any Windows compatible PCI-Express video card for Windows, although you will have to install your own Windows drivers because Boot Camp only has drivers for the three Apple video cards available for the Mac Pro. Obviously this would have to be installed as a second video card.
However, you should check with SolidWorks tech support about the usability of the 7300GT or ATI X1900 cards. The latter is quite suitable for the fastest games and may be suitable for use with SolidWorks.
