Could my video card be the root of all these problems???

heres the problem: dual 1.0ghz mdd with a rage 128 pro video card. the computer has a clean install of os x 10.5.8 but dvd player wont work (it says it cant find a valid video device), vlc will play audio only, and quicktime will only play a few select avi files (and it plays them worse than my old B&W). now i know that im gonna need a radeon card at least to get things like the screensavers to work, but could a new card fix all the other problems too or is there something else wrong with the computer? id appreciate any serious insight. thanks

I think it is the card, that's a real old one.

Are there any issues when installing two video cards in the same pc?

Hello
I am using Premiere CS5 with a quadro 4000 card. I have two Eizo's monitors attached to the quadro 4000 via the display port. Everything is working fine. I need to connect a plasma screen to my pc (3 monitors total) for viewing red files. I could use the red rocket to export video to the plasma screen but it would be nice if I didn't have to install another driver other than the quadro 4000 nvideo driver. My question is, will having 2 video cards installed in my pc cause any problems? If it will, I will have to use the red rocket for the third monitor. Thanks

Only three obvious drawbacks, provided you have a free PCI-1 16x slot available;
1. You may need a much more powerful PSU.
2. You need to improve your cooling significantly.
3. You need to buy an extra card.

Won't really see a video card in the PCI slots

I have a G4 MDD 1.23 GHz. I have a 32 MB video card in the AGP slot, but I also have 2 PCI 128 MB video cards lying around.
Every time I try to throw a PCI video card in, though, I have problems. The image is only 640 x 480 grayscale, nothing else. I tried to change the settings, but those are the only options.
I have a 3DFX Voodoo 2 and a TwinTurbo 128. Do I need drivers? Does the MDD not support video cards in the PCI slots? What's wrong with this picture?

For what it's worth, here's a few quotes:
[IX Micro Twin Turbo 128 video card, and I understand that OS X does not like that particular card|http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg43189.html]
[The TwinTurbo cards are no longer supported by OS X (10.3).|http://forums.macosxhints.com/archive/index.php/t-30258.html]

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.

What video cards will the p7-1423w support?

I would like to upgrade my video graphics to something that will support Witcher 2. I picked up a video card but then realized the power consumption is too great for this pc. Any suggestions on what card I can get that will support this type of graphics? (It is a windows 8 machine if that makes any difference.)
Thanks!

Hello Leach69,
There are two things to consider when purchasing a video card. The slots that are available in your computer and the power supply that is already in the computer. If you are looking to play modern games you are going to need a good video card, as you already know. I would suggest that you also consider upgrading your power supply to something that provides more power so that you can use that card that does use more power consumption.
Upgrading the power supply is also going to give you the freedom to do other upgrades in the future if you choose to do so. The power supply that is currently in your computer is only 300w from what I can tell, this means you are going to be extremely limited.
I'd suggest upgrading your power supply to something around a 550w - 600w then you can get just about any video card you want as long as you have the slot for it.
If I have helped you in any way click the Kudos button to say Thanks.

Upgrading Video Card in the iMac

I've been very confused by what I have read on so many discussion groups. Is the video card in the 2.8 Mhz, duo core, Intel based iMac upgradeable? I know there is a standard plug in card, MXM, but am not sure if the 2400 ATI card I have in the iMac can be upgraded. I am sure it is a chore to access the innards of the iMac.

YC73, you can familiarize yourself with Apple's policies;Sales and Refund Policy. The link is to the US online store, but the policy is consistent, allowing for local laws, throughout the world.
As you can see from the policy, a built to order iMac is not returnable in the first 14 days, as a standard model would be. It is my understanding that something as simple as a RAM upgrade makes the Mac BTO.
As a BTO, the Mac is subject to the Apple Manufacturer's Warranty. It is repaired or replaced at Apple's discretion. It is reported by other's in the forums with experience, that Apple traditionally replaces a machine if it is repaired three times.
I hope this answers your question.
PS, Forgive Ricktorronto, he may have drank too much Apple Kool Aid recently. Most long time posters are usually more tolerant in their replies.

Dual video card on the m3985

I'm planing to upgrade my m3958 to it's limits for 3d rendering. This is the present rig. Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz (8 CPUs), ~3.4GHzMemory: 8GB GPU : NVIDIA Quadro K2000 * Really i dont see much difference with this card. Though it is rated amongs the best. I dont know why* So what can i really add to make this machine more powerfull for 3d rendering.Thanks

More information on the Video Card integration problem, but no success yet.
I plugged in the second monitor; an Acer AL2223W LCD connected to one of the ports on the EVGA GeForce GT 610 card, to see if it would be recognized. It displays "No Signal" when turned on.
Did a search on the computer and found the AMD VISION Engine Control Center. That had a place to search for video equipment and the only thing it would find is the Samsung 213T.
I verified that the fan on the card is running so the card is getting power via the PCI-E slot.
The 2 outputs on the video card and the receptacle on the Acer are DVI-I dual link configuration with 24 pins + 4 pins at the flat pin for analog signals. The Samsung has a DVI-D dual link receptacle (24 pins).
The cable is DVI-D Single Link (18 pins + the flat pin). When I get another cable it will be DVI-D Dual Link.
It seems that the EVGA GeForce GT 610 video card is not being recognized by the mother board or not putting out a signal.
There was no driver disk with either the video card or the computer.
Power supply is 430 Watts and the card specs say the PS should be at least 300 Watts.
Do I need to do something with the BIOS or get a driver or setup disk for the board or card or do something with a jumper on the MB?
Do I need to get the DVI-D Dual Link cable to get the signal from the Video Card to the Monitor?
Thanks for any help you can give me.

CPU rendering why can't a Video Card do the job?

I started noticing that the flash player rely on a processor
more than a graphic card, I kind of was hoping that someday that
flash would work off from video card as a rendering engine. Though
right now flash player playing flash files seems like it puts too
much stress on a processor for rendering flash I mean simply why
can't the video card do the work when processor takes up like 90%
of the job? and do the job more smoother? Just an idea I'm putting
out for adobe staff members.

Nvidia 8800GT video card in the First Generation Mac Pro

This message is a bit of advice if you install the new Nvidia 8800GT video card in the first generation Mac Pro. The advice is keep your old video card. The old video card will be needed if you ever need to reinstall the OS X operating system. This new card needs the video drivers (kernel extensions) that are in OS X leopard 10.5.2 or later. With this video card installed, both the OS X original installation disk that came with this computer and the OS X leopard upgrade disks will cause a kernel panic when booted up. This is because they do not contain the kernel extensions needed for this video card. There is a question. Does anyone know how to create and burn a reinstallation DVD with OS X leopard version 10.5.2 on it? This would help solve this reinstallation problem

this is a advisory to whom it may concern
here my latest reply from a apple product specialist how was very good and helpful but only
give me this to my upgrade answer !
i want to upgrade my graphic card to 8800 and run tiger on my 1st gen macpro
here it goes:
"This article indicates what cards are supported in what machines: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305346
Your Mac Pro is the first generation, and did not have PCI-Express 2.0 slot like the current generation does have.
Unfortunately, we don't foresee the release of any drivers for the 10.4 OS on this machine.
In regards to the second issue, we also don't support two video cards in two slots, using a different one for eash OS, there is no supported way to do this."
"Unfortunately, the latest version of the Mac Pro will not run Tiger, as it was manufactured after the release of Leopard, therefore the drivers for the machines hardware will not be available on Tiger."
hope thats cleared some ones Q.
kindly
S.

That's a peculiar one to get in the context of a QuickTime uninstall.
Which particular version of QuickTime for Windows are you currently running? (7.7.5, 7.7.4, something earlier?)

I am having all these problems after webroot did a clean up of files; I was able to find the files; all are firefox files, how do I reinstall these files?

I am having all these problems; yahoo is not the same, cannot do anything on facebook; I found the files that were "cleaned" and they were all firefox files, there are many more in que to be "cleaned" by webroot; how do I reinstall these files? How do I stop webroot from continuing this "cleanup" I emailed webroot but got no reaponse.
Thank you,

You can't. The only way to get songs in the Music app is to sync from a computer or to download from iTunes.

What are the differences between all these functions? stdev.p, stdevpa, stdev, stdeva, stdev.s

I cannot get the main idea of the function of all these formulas on excel although I can understand the concept of standard deviation.... Kindly help me out...

NVIDIA Issues; hitting the video card hangs the machine

Hello everybody, this could easily be placed under the Kernel and Hardware forum, but this one suits my experience level better. I tried
searching for some similar issues to what I am having, but wasn't able to come up with anything. (Perhaps I was an unknown keyword off in my searches. )
Additionally, thanks in advance for any help! I'm pretty much out of ideas short of replacing some hardware.
My problem is that whenever my desktop displays anything that is graphically intensive, it freezes. I first experienced this while I had Slackware 13.1 installed when trying to run Minecraft. I had been running it successfully for a month or two when it hung while I was playing. I switched over to Arch in the hopes that it would be easier for me to troubleshoot the problem. This was a few months ago, and I've not been able to figure it out.
I'm running with an i7 930 CPU, GTX 480 video card, and six gigs of RAM. My xorg.conf is below:

The more I investigate, the more I feel like this could be a hardware problem. I checked the CPU temp first, but it only reaches ~32 degrees celsius when the system hangs, so I doubt that's the cause. I've checked the cables (power and otherwise) between everything in my box, and it's all solid. I've also taken the sides off, thinking it my be an air flow issue, but that didn't solve it either.
On the software side of things, I've got nvidia, nvidia-utils, and lib32-nvidia-utils installed and they aren't popping any errors that I can see. When I run glxinfor or glxgears, nothing happens, the terminal just prompts me for input (which is actually an improvement, in Slackware, they hung the machine).
Again, any help on this issue is greatly appreciated, I'm at my wit's end about it.

I had a similar problem that turned out to be the graphics card working itself loose. So, if you haven't already, try taking it out, cleaning the contacts and plugging it back in. Worth a try and worked for me
Also, Xorg 1.10.2 & the nvidia proprietary driver don't seem to be in conflict for me so I think williewillus is mistaken.

Can you run a non supported Video card on the boot camp side ?

My dilemma: I'm using a mac Pro for work plus a PC for gaming, and I'd like to get rid of the extra PC. The stock card on my Mac pro (7300?) is not good enough for gaming, but fine for everyday stuff... I'd like to know if I could install my better card (from the PC, 512MB pci express Nvidia) in the Mac pro...
Of course it is not supported on the mac, so I was wondering if it could be installed a a second card and "ignored" on the mac side, but if could be used on the PC side of my Mac (boot camp), with existing drivers, for better gaming performance. And make that card the primary on the PC side... Sound hard to do though... Has anyone done this before?

itll be a 50/50 shot as its an issue between efi vs bios. and unsure if you have both cards in there it will guarantee that windows will pick up the second card when booted.
but there have been users who have swapped in PCI-E Windows cards for use when specifically for using Bootcamp. so its a possibility thatit will work.
im just not 100% sure if it will be recognized right off the bat when booting it if you still have the stock mac video card in.
but if it does work just goto the Manufactures site for drivers to install for Windows.
let me know how that works, asid like to know personally myself.

Could my video card be the root of all these problems???
