Daed Graphics card - what model can I replace it with?

My Radeon 850XT died. I am having a lot of trouble finding out what I can replace it with, i.e. what's available and where to buy it.
any recommendations please?

Hi-
Bummer- that card is the most powerful card ever made available in an AGP G5.
If you stay with OEM cards, you are limited to a few, used or refurbs from highly priced Mac specialty stores.
eBay may be a better option for used. Many people go with flashed cards (PC cards converted to Mac ROM), simply because there are no real alternatives, other than high priced, or questionable used cards. Flashed cards are readily available on ebay, or, one may try to do it yourself, though the process is not a beginners endeavor. Flashed cards, with few exceptions, function as a real Mac card would, and are completely supported in the appropriate OS versions.
Your biggest problem, other than finding a card, is that almost all cards will be a step down from the 850.
There is one 8x AGP card, a flashed Geforce 7800 GS that will outperform the X850.
In order from powerful to weak, options are:
Geforce 7800 GS (flashed)
Radeon X850XT (used)
Radeon X800XT (used)
Geforce 6800 Ultra (used or flashed)
Geforce 6800 GT (used or flashed)
Radeon 9800 XT (used or flashed)
Radeon 9800 SE (used)
Radeon 9800 Pro (used or flashed)
Radeon 9650 Pro (used)
Radeon 9600 Pro (used, flashed, or a new, PC and Mac version)
Geforce 5200 (used or flashed)
Some "retail" sources include:

If you need ADC output, you are limited to used OEM cards.

  • Hardware missing -AGP Graphics card. How can I get my FCE 4 working on the new computer? Cheers

    Hi I have just upgraded my computer to Mac OSX 10.6.7 now I cant open my FCE 4. Message reads, Hardware missing -AGP Graphics card. How can I get my FCE 4 working on the new computer? Cheers

    Thanks, just so I know we are talking about the same items please let me know - When you say "run Prokit" do you mean downloaded? Which I did. I dont have Prokit 4.0.1 if you are referring to that, do I need this first? Please explain what application name I am looking for if other than Prokit which is sitting in my "download folder" do I need to manually put it into the apps folder? Sorry if the questions are layman but this area is not a very strong point for me. Thanks for your help so far.

  • I have an iphone 4 and it's not working, if i pay can apple replace it with the same model even though it's no longer for sale?

    I have an iphone 4 and it's not working, if i pay can apple replace it with the same model even though it's no longer for sale?

    If the iPhone has not been opened or serviced by other than Apple
    or authoriized service provider (there are a few other requirements),
    you should be eligible for out of warranty replacemement for $149 US.
    Apple maintains sufficient stock for replacements even for iPhones that
    are no longer available for purchase. You may be better off upgrading to
    a newer version than paying $149 to stay with the iPhone 4.
    What is no longer working? If you provide more details as to the problem
    and what troubleshooting steps you have taken, some one may offer
    a solution.

  • Can I install a graphics card on a Touchsmart 610-1050f computer with intel HD graphics

    Can I install a graphics card on a Touchsmart 610-1050f computer with intel HD graphics and if i can where
    can i find a graphics card that will install in that computer.

    There are many MANY threads on this, the answer is that it's not worth your time since you have to have a replacement card that the HP system BIOS already likes,, and this is not the same as replacing anything in a desktop, this is the equivalent of replacing the graphics in a laptop.
    Since the graphics cards are not considered a user upgradable component there are no lists of "approved cards" nor guides to doing it, the closest you could do is the service or recycling disassembly sheets.

  • Can I replace CUA with CUP. If not why or what will be the risks

    Hi,
    The client does not want to have two provisioning systems CUP & CUA. The sole purpose they are using CUA is the proper accounting for SAP licenses such that the user ID remains the same across the landscape. No other purpose of using CUA. In this case can I replace CUA with CUP 5.3 SP12.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Sanjeev

    There are limitations to doing that.
    CUA has a technology focus and does not take access risk into consideration at all. The long-term successor of this would be Netweaver Identity Management. If you want to consistently manage user master data and license information, that's probably the solution to look at.
    You can perfectly use CUP on top of that to manage authorizations. You can also force CUP to only allow user IDs from a central system like CUA or ActiveDirectory in order to enforce user ID consistency.
    What CUP will not do is give you an overview of where a user is maintained with which kind of information/license data. That is something that either CUA (for ABAP only) or Netweaver Identity Management will give you.
    Frank.

    Whether you are trying to use a Credit Card or Redeem a Gift Card... My understanding is that you have to be within the US to use the US Store and have a valid US Billing Address.

  • I I have a late 2005 power PC G5 that I want to bring back to life.  I need to replace the original hard drive, a Maxtor 250 GB Sata.  Can I replace it with modern drives, SATA 5-6 etc?

    I have a late 2005 power PC G5 that I want to bring back to life.  I need to replace the original hard drive, a Maxtor 250 GB Sata.  Can I replace it with modern drives, SATA 5-6 etc?

    I knew I should never get rid of my old G5's.  By the way, there is a browser still supported for the PPC, TenFourFox, if you're not using it already.  Go to the Floodgap website (they author it)  download it for free.  The only thing it doesn't support is the Flash plugin, but the browser works great. Other video types are supported.  It's based on Firefox, and runs most of the plugins and add-ons. It's very fast, and beats all other browsers on the browser compatibility and speed test.  That's now my default on my G5's.  Firefox and Safari are no longer supported.  As far as the OS, both Tiger and Leopard were solid for me.  The reason, as I stated before, was iMovie.  The version in Tiger with iLife was far superior to what Apple changed it to.  They 'dumbed it down' for the masses.  Even the newest iLife 11 on my Mac Pro quad isn't is good, in my opinion.  So Leopard should be fine for you.  It's a much larger browser in terms of sheer megabytes and disk space, but it's fine.  As far as getting an OS disc, I'm seeing Tiger for about $45.00, Leopard for $50 - 60.00 on that famous auction site.  As far as RAM, I have 8GB in my G5 2.3, but you should check Activity Monitor when you are running your apps.  See how much green slice you have left (unused RAM).  You might find you don't need eight.  A Mac Pro will grab more free RAM than a PPC machine will.  I have a hard time maxing out use of my 8 on the PPC.  Not true with the eight on my Mac Pro.  The OS doesn't hesitate to grab and use it.  You might be OK with 6GB on your PPC. More will not make you faster, as long as you still have free RAM available.  As far as backup on your resurrected machine:  look for a firewire enabled backup if can.  Use CCC (Carbon Copy Cloner) and make a clone backup.  Next time your PPC machine wipes out the hard drive, just take your Firewire drive and plug it into another PPC machine, and you can select it as your boot drive. You'll be back and running in five minutes.  You can also take the physical drive out of your enclosure, and put it in your tower to replace the failed drive, and you'll be back to where you were in less than ten minutes, OS and all.  The PowerMac has an 800 port, so you can do the 800 on the machine to an 800 port on your backup. A firewire 800 to 800 cable is only about $8.00.  It runs nice and fast through the 800 port.  I like the OWC Mercury Extreme enclosures.  They use USB, Firewire 800, and eSATA, so all your options are open.

  • Can we replace OracleSytemUser with a custom user in ldap?

    HI,
    We have installed soa 11g and configured Microsoft AD as ldap provider.
    I have couple of questions around this.
    1. Can we remove the default embedded authenticator totally? If yes what are the things we should keep in mind?
    2. We don't want hard coded users like "OracleSystemUser". Can we replace OracleSystemUser with our custom user, maybe assinging our user to OracleSystemGroup in our ldap.
    Would appreciate any help.
    Thanks

    There are Office-type apps available for iPad.
    Skype is also available for iPad.
    Whether you, specifically, can completely replace a laptop with an iPad depends on what you use your laptop for. The iPad is not designed to completely replace a laptop. There are many things a laptop can do that an iPad cannot. Whether those limitations are an issue for you, depends on your laptop usage.

  • I have a late 2012 mac mini with an i5 2 core can I replace it with an i7 quad core?

    I have a late 2012 mac mini with an i5 2 core can I replace it with an i7 quad core?

    A few places online may still offer the i7 2.3GHz quad-core Late 2012 MINI (Oct 2012 to Oct 2014)
    that allows the user-upgrade of RAM to 16GB, and this one I've seen is a Server model and has
    two 1-TB Hard Disk Drives. The B&H store in NY online has this listed, if in stock now, price &
    shipping in continental US is good until tomorrow.
    Your i5 dual-core is still desirable to many, & you may be able to resell it if not needed.
    Good luck & happy computing!

    Have you redeemed your iTunes card to an account associated with an Apple ID?
    Once you have your iPad associated with an Apple ID AND you have an account with a credit card associated with the same Apple ID AND you have some 'store credit' (from redeeming your iTunes card) then purchases use the store credit before they charge the credit card, so you should be ok!
    Personally, I use 'store credit' as a way to monitor whether or not there have been any 'unauthorised' purchases because as soon as the store credit is zero, the security code from the credit card is needed for further purchases!  It does mean that I have sometimes to top up store credit before making a purchase, but 'better safe than sorry'!

    No. The warranty does not cover damage.
    You can only get a replacement if you can talk Apple into selling you and out of warranty replacement.
