Compatible Graphics Cards (dead Radeon HD 2600)

We have a Mac Pro running 10.5.8.
2 x 2.8 Quad Xeon
2GB RAM @ 800 MHz
Purchased March of 2008
It's does not boot up (hangs on a blue 'pixelated' screen).
I took out the old ATI Radeon HD 2600 and reinserted it. The login screen came on as expected, but quickly returned to the pixelated pattern.
Restarting caused a blue screen.
I've repaired permissions, deleted apps from start up, removed peripherals to trouble-shoot the start up problem and I'm convinced this card is dead or dying. It's a work horse for us. No games but we do work with large images for advertising and when using Aperture.
Where can I get a list of cards that are compatible?
Any recommendations on which cards to consider or which to avoid.
Thanks in advance for all helpful replies.

Hi Kevin
I have a MacPro (1,1), original with the hd2600.
Now i have changed it with the radeon 6870.
I build in the xfx with 1gb.
But other cards, like saphire works also in macro 1.1.
If u wann make this change:
1. donload the drivers for the 6xxx cards.
2. buy 2x 6pin pcie power adpter (plugged in onbord)
3. install driver - replace an plug in
4. Boot up an have fun
The 6xxx isnt officials upported, but works fine (os 16.6.8)
Only "bad" things are:
-No bootscreen
-DVD player dont work (i use VLC instead)
-Steam dosnt work
The rets works fin here
(sorry for my bad english)
Regards from Germany

IMac 27" 2011 with Dead Graphic Card AMD Radeon HD 6970M

Hello
I'm from Thailand and my iMac 27" mid-2011 model is malfunctioning. I have windows 7 installed and I can use it only on safemode or when I disable the graphic card AMD Radeon HD 6970M. Updating the driver won't help at all.
I talked to the local iservice and he says it will cost me $570 just to replace this card. I find it very expensive.
Now I have learned that there is this replacement program http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5167 for the graphic card issue. I'd like to know if I am part of this. I'm not sure if I'm under any service coverage since it's been after many years of purchase.

You should be covered - usually replacement programs last for 3 years from the latest date of consumer purchase (when apple discontinues the model). This is typical, but by no means concrete as I have nothing to do with Apple or its replacement policies. Your model also meets those specifications. Since the replacement program is stated as wordwide, it should also be applicable in your country.

hello like to know about graphics card AMD RADEON R7 250A if it is compatible with Infrastructure software suites Deign Suite Premium 2013 Creative Suite 6 Design Premium, Master Collection CS6

Hi @Fodi
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
Ok, I understand that you are trying to install drivers for your graphics adapter and the one built in to your cpu.
In reality you do not need to install the separate drivers. It is covered by the main driver for your graphics adapter when there is both an integrated and discrete gpu.
As to the Error 43 - please see this page: Expand Code 43: Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems
Since you have tried several times you may need to remove both drivers and restart the system and let the os find the built-in graphics, before installing the driver for the AMD device.
All the various drivers for this notebook that have been HP customized can be found here:

Angelica compatible graphic cards

Does anyone have a list or know what graphic cards that are compatible with M3970AM-HP(Angelica)? I'm currently using Asus Radeon HD 7770 Ghz card and Corsair CX600M PSU. I already know the R series and 700 series and up are not compatible. I want upgrade to HD 7800 or 7900 series card.

Hi,
There isn't a list of compatible graphics cards other than what HP may have for the "configure-to-order" models using the same motherboard and BIOS levels.
What BIOS level is your PC running? It must be version 7 or the NVIDIA 7xx models would have worked.
I suggest that you consider the following graphics cards that will work with a 300 watt power supply. Look for models that do not require an auxillary 6 pin power connector.
MSI NVIDIA GTX N750 TI and the MSI GTX N750 TF . Be sure to get the exact model.
ZOTAC also has a NVIDIA 750 model and this NVIDIA 750 model that are compatible back to PCI-E version 1.1. All of Zotac's NVIDIA 750 models are advertised as backwards compatible to 1.1.
The reality is that there is no a guarantee that any particular graphics card will work in any particular PC even if the graphics card works in other PCs or even the same or similar model PCs. Know what the return policy is before you buy.

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.

HP Pavilion HPE h8-1230 -- List of compatible graphics cards???

I am trying to upgrade my graphics card. I recently purchased a Zotac GeForce GTX 760 AMP Edition 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 DVI HDMI DisplayPort SLI Ready Graphics ... . I also installed the above mentioned power supply. I installed both and when I went to start the computer, I got the HP logo blue screen with a message saying to press ESC key for start up menu, however the keyboard was unresponsive. I updated the bios to this using this link http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=cp-114777-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
The hp logo screen changed but that was about it. Using the new card, I could get to the first boot screen, and to the hp logo, but then it would stay stuck on the hp logo. Also if I tried to press f10, ctrl + f or any key, I would just get a black screen and nothing would happen. I've read that this seems to be a common problem with the HPE models and the 700 series cards and have seen no solution. I have already arranged to return the card figuring it's either defective or not compatible with my system.
So after all that, I've tried for the last hour to get a list of compatible graphics cards to upgrade my system, and have not found such a list. I've found lists in the forums for other similar models, but I want to be absolutly sure before I make another purchase and have to go through all this trouble.
Any help would be appreciated and if more info is needed don't hesitate to let me know.

Hi,
There are graphics card solutions posted on this forum. They may be hard ro find but they are psoted. It's good that you checked the BIOS settings in the posted HP links as sometimes they get changed thinking that this will work better. However, in the case for Windows 7 it's just the opposite.
You issue is not a driver problem. Check with the graphics card manufacturer for a remedy. If that particular card is video BIOS enabled for UEFI then you are stuck. You can either return the card or install Windows 8 in UEFI mode.
Another choice would be to try one of the below video cards that run in legacy or UEFI mode.

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.

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.

What Mac compatible graphics card makes a good upgrade from the Radeon HD 5870?

Hello all,
I am looking to upgrade from my Radeon HD 5870. I am running a mid-2010 Mac Pro, 12 core with 48GB RAM. The main reason for the upgrade is because I have a nice new Dell UP2414Q display for my 4k work. Problem is the HD 5870 won't support 3840x2160 as far as I can tell.
I have really limited knowledge about graphics cards, so when I started dipping a toe into the world of graphics cards I got really overwhelmed and would appreciate anyone's advice on here.
Thanks!

I would think any of the latest GTX and AMD will

Mac Pro 5,1 (mid 2012) compatible graphic cards

Hello everyone.
Which graphic cards are compatible with the Mac Pro 5,1 (mid 2012)?
It came with an ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024MB but the card presented problem and now need replacing. Its a very hard-to-find model in my city, so might I have other possibilities?
The thing is: the card is turning the computer off in the middle of an video editing process. The cooler is running very slowly... and it's working only with one monitor, displaying in 2 monitors is not possible anymore...
Configuration:
Mac Pro 5,1 (mid 2012)
2x 2,4hz 6 core Intel Xeon
32 GB DDR3
OSX 10.9.4
Thanks in advance!

There are more card options if you look around then what is in that tip.
Check out GeForce GTX 780 6G
A few apps like FCP-X 10.1+ benefit from dual AMD cards. So depends what you use to edit.
MacRumors forum, Netkas.org and others can guide you through extra PSU if needed and other concerns using PC cards.

Best possible (compatible) graphics card?

There are just so many options out there, I'd like to hear some real-person recommendations.
I have a 2.0 GHz 1GB RAM 160GB iMac I bought in August last year. I'm a filmmaker recently getting into Machinima via the Sims 2 game. While the ATI Radeon 9600 it came with provides for good gameplay, the video capture quality within the game is horrible, and I'm looking to upgrade.
Price aside, what is the best possible graphics card compatible with my iMac for the purpose of machinima 3D video capture?
Thank you!

...do you know if the ATI Radeon x1600 or NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT would be decent enough for high-quality Sims 2 videos?
Sorry I don't know but I would suspect that you won't have a problem.

Compatible graphics cards for old G5s

I have one of the original G5 Dual Core Macs, introduced durring the summer of 2003. Does anyone know what graphics cards are compatible with this machine that are 128mb and above? Preferrably still available somehow...

I also have one of the original Dual G5s from october 2003 and my Radeon 9600 is dying a horrible death and I am utterly disappointed that I cannot find a replacement anywhere. Especially from Apple, of all companies.
ATI's backlog on the 9600 and 9800 are 40+ days and of course the x800 is discontinued totally.
I can't wait possibly 6 weeks for a video card rom anywhere? ROHS ***** but!!!!!!
