DDR NVidia GeForce FX 5200 graphicis card & 30" Mac HD monitor

I am a new Mac user, having had Dell desktops all my life. Recently, my Dell W1700 monitor/tv crapped out, and (of course) it is just out of warranty.
This prompted me to by a Mac Book Pro with a 30" HD monitor (to work with the PC also).
MY QUESTION:
Like many in here, I want to use the Mac HD monitor with the Mac Book Pro as well as the Dell PC (8300 series). I suspect that the cable connections may not be compatible (pins appear to have a different configuration) though the Dell LCD TV/monitor did use DVI cable in conjunction with a separate green audio cable.
I've already read and reviewed how to set up the laptop with the lid closed while utilizing the HD monitor. Now I need to troubleshoot the HD/PC connections.
Help!
PS-is the spell check feature in this forum messed up or what? I've never had so many idiotic "suggestions".

Hi-
Welcome to Discussions!
The 30" Apple Cinema Display requires a computer with a dual link DVI equipped graphics card. It can connect to single link DVI, but without a dual link, the 30" ACD will not operate at optimal resolution (2550x1600). The 30" ACD is equipped with a dual link DVI-D connector.
I believe your 5200 has a single link DVI-I (2048x1536 max resolution), which will allow coupling with a DVI-I or DVI-D connector.
30" ACD supported resolutions:
2560 x 1600 pixels (optimum resolution)
2048 x 1280
1920 x 1200
1280 x 800
1024 x 640

  • Way to stop NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GT graphics card from running?

    I have 2 graphics cards in my Power Mac G5, one is a NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GT graphics card which i believe came with it, the other is a NVIDIA GeForce 6600. The problem I have is that the NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GT card makes a horrible fan noise, and I am looking for a way to unplug it, or cut it off from the power supply safely. Any advise is welcome.

    Here is a sample video:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkMGFyB8wig&feature=related
    Keep in mind that video cards have an extra tab at the tail end so don't forget to gently push the tab to the side.
    The video card fans typically plug into power pins on the video card so removal of the card will expose the connection.  Otherwise, just follow the fan power leads.

  • Multiple GeForce GT 120 Graphics cards on Mac Pro

    I have  an Early 2009 Mac Pro 4,1 Quadcore 2.66GHz running OS 10.6.8, with the factory-supplied NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 Graphics card (in PCIe Slot 1), connected to a Lacie Photon19vision Monitor (via VGA thru MiniDisplayPort adaptor) and a 30" Apple Cinema Display (via Dual-link DVI) - this has been working perfectly for years.
    I have just got a 2nd GeForce GT 120 from eBay to utilise a 2nd Lacie Photon19Vision Monitor as a 3rd display via this 2nd NVIDIA card, which I installed in PCIe Slot 2. Both this 2nd card and this 3rd display are recognised in System Profiler, but I am unable to get a visible signal through to the display. I have tried the following connections:
    VGA (monitor) - VGA/MiniDisplayPort Adapter (card)
    DVI (Monitor) - DVI (card
    DVI (monitor) - DVI/MiniDisplayPort Adapter (card)
    None of these have worked.
    Any advice on using more than 1 GeForce GT 120 graphics card in the Mac Pro, and/or the best connection configuration?
    Many thanks in advance!

    The hatter is right that at one point, multiple NVIDIA cards caused a problem. But that problem was Kernel Panics, not failure to operate.
    You need to be certain the new card works by itself. To do that, install it in slot 1 as the only card, and be certain all the old functions work as you expect. Then you have known-good parts going forward into more complex testing.
    When using multiple display, you must be certain you have completely eliminated Mirroring, which will limit resolutions to those that seem to be possible for both displays. You should have a separate blue box for each display, and none should overlap.

  • Fade-off with MSI T-128 (nVidia geForce FX 5200) PCI card

    Hi
    I'm totally fade-off with nVidia GeForce FX 5200 (MSI -T128) graphics PCI card. I've tried all options found on different forums and also with latest driver for the card both from MSI and nVidia. But non of these are able to solve my problem.
    Even though, I have installed the latest driver for the card form nVidia or MSI, my system gives BSOD (infinite loop) on XP and system hang on Ubuntu/Linux. Request you to please help me out for this problem. Its dam sure something wrong in the card driver or BIOS settings as its occurring with any OS.
    This is my last ray of hope, with a expection that some MSI people will help me out, else I'll have to throw the f**king card to bin. Sorry being unprofessional, but it seems that I have wasted my money banking on the brand MSI/nVidia.
    PC Configuration:
    1. Asus K8N motherboard (nVidia chipset, NO on-board graphics)
    2. MSI T-128 (nVidia GeForce FX 5200) PCI graphics card
    3. Windows XP SP3/ Ubuntu 9.04
    4. 512 MB DDR1 RAM
    5. 320GB, 7200 rpm Seagate ATA HDD
    6. AMD Athlon XP 2800+
    Again request the nVidia people plz plz plz .. help me.
    Note that, When I'm booting with safe mode in XP, the PC DOES NOT hangs.
    Thank you in advance.

    Its followed by "Sorry being unprofessional". But when my hard earning money draining, its obvious. Anyway, Do you have answer to my request ? Or only guiding me for proper language ? If you have ans plz give me too.

  • Is nVidia Geforce GT640 good graphics card for PrE10 despite low memory bandwidth?

    Can anybody confirm that the nVidia Geforce GT640 is a reasonable graphics card for Premiere Elements 10 and Photoshop Elements 10?
    The person who assembled my Core i7 3770K desktop with 16Gb of RAM at 1600mHz installed the nVidia GT640 card with 2Gb of DDR3 memory. He said that this was a good (fairly low cost) card for video editing because it has 384 CUDA cores - very helpful in video editing. I am pretty ignorant about graphics cards, but like the low power usage, 65 watts, and reputed cool operating temperatures. I have since read that DDR5 memory would have been much faster because of greater memory bandwidth - say 80-90Gb per second compared with 28.5Gb per second for the DDR3 memory on the GT640 card. I was after economical power use. DDR5 cards use 110 watts upwards and run much hotter than DDR 3 cards, all other things being equal. The really fast cards require special power units and cooling.
    Does anybody know whether limited memory bandwidth is important in video editing? Is speed much more critical in gaming than in video editing? Are other attributes such as 384 CUDA cores, nvenc syncing, dedicated encodment, 28nm Kepler architecture, 2Gb memory frame buffer, 1.3 billion transistors, plenty of texture units -  more important than memory bandwidth in video editing? Does bandwidth limited by DDR3 memory affect quality of image?
    I read that the GT640 would be much faster (producing better image quality?) than the HD4000 integrated Intel graphics of the Core i7 Ivy Bridge processor. Is this so?
    Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit and all programs are installed on a 120Gb OCZ Agility 3 solid state drive. My data drive is a 1Tb Seagate SATA 3 at 7200 RPM. I have a beautiful 21 inch ASUS vs228n LED monitor and LG blu-ray burner.
    I did lots of editing with PrE 3 with a Dell 3.06 gHz hyperthreading desktop and Win XP. The output and even the preview monitoring was clear and stable. I am still capturing standard definition mini dv tape by firewire from a 3MOS Panasonic handycam, but plan to upgrade to HD 3MOS with flash memory. I make the preview monitor really small - about 7cm wide - in PR10, because the quality of the preview picture is much poorer than the quality that I experienced with the Premiere Elements 3 program with Win XP. Is this just an indication of memory-saving in PrE 10 previews? I expect output to be much superior, although still mpeg2-DVD quality until I upgrade my camera. I have set rendering on maximum bitrate.
    Anyway, despite these reservations with preview quality, the GT640 seems to be performing fine. Picture quality in Photoshop, online and elsewhere on my computer is excellent.
    I updated the nVidia display driver only yesterday to version 306.23.
    Nearly all graphics cards forums are about gaming. I hope to see more forums about graphics in editing here.
    What do you think of the 2Gb nVidia GT640 for editing with PrE 10 and Photoshop Elements 10? What would you say about picture quality in the PrE 10 monitor versus quality of output? Was picture quality in the PrE 3 monitor sharper and more stable, as I imagine?
    Regards, Phil

    Sheltie,
    Thank you for the kind words. We all work very hard to help others with video-editing. Some of us also show up on other Adobe forums, depending on the products that we use most often.
    Besides helping out, I also find that I learn something new every day, even about programs that I have used for decades. Heck, I just learned something new about PrE vs PrPro (my main NLE program), when I went to try and help a user. I probably actually use PrE more to test my theories, or to replicate a user's problem, than I do to actually edit my videos. Still, when applicable, I do real work in the program.
    With about a dozen "regulars" here, if one of us is not around, several more usually are. Personally, I do not understand how Steve Grisetti and John T. can dedicate so very much time here. Steve is a noted author of books on PrE, PSE, Sony DVD Architect, and others, plus helps run a video/photography Web site, Muvipix.com, that is very active, and has so very much to offer. John T. is always under the watchful eye of The JobJarQueen, and gets dragged, kicking and screaming, out into the yard, or up on his roof, so can be gone for a bit.
    Neale usually beats us all, since he's in the UK, and normally answers all the questions, that come in too late for us to see. He is also a PrE power-user, so beats me hands down.
    I travel a great deal, but no one ever misses me. Was supposed to do a trip to Sydney last Dec., but had to cancel. Have not gotten details on the reschedule of that trip, but it would have been my first jaunt south of the Equator. Gotta' make that happen.
    Good luck, and happy editing,

  • How to update nvidia GeForce Go 7600 graphics card ?

    The game Portal 2 is demanding an update of the graphics card driver  - current version 98.04 and I can locate & download the Nvidia update version 179 - but it doesn't load, saying drivers are missing. No intermediate versions seem to be available so how do I take this issue forward?
    The_Cyclist

    You cannot upgrade the GPU except by buying a newer model with a better GPU. Normally, with shared RAM the GPU will have a maximum of 384 MBs of VRAM with 4 GBs of installed RAM. That will increase by about 128 MBs per 2 GBs of additional installed RAM.

    The MacBook Pro has got a soldered graphic card, and in your case, you have an integrated card which doesn't work properly with these type of apps. Unfortunately, it's not possible to replace this card

  • Trouble Nvidia Geforce Gt 610 graphics card in Hp pavilion M7560n

    So My intergrated graphics card is failing it started out as blue/tinting then it would pop back to regular color. now it loses video out altogether then recovers after awhile..  I disabled the onboard graphics card.. then inserted GT 610 but it only showed black screen.. the weird part is when the intergrated card goes on its fit then the 610 can take over partically.. its like when the intergrated graphics card completely fails then the computer says oh i had a dedicated card installed lets use it. why is this happening i went into system menu on windows start up and set pcie to default video out.. but it will still bypass the GT 610 and use the onboard graphic eventhough its suppose to be disable.. Help would be greatly appreciated

  • GeForce FX 5200 Video Card

    Hi everyone!
    I'm finding conflicting info concerning the graphics card requirement for FCE HD.
    I have an original 20 inch iMac with a G5 Power PC processor and a GeForce FX 5200 Video Card, running Panther on the internal HD and Tiger on an external FW drive.
    Will FCE HD work with the GeForce FX 5200 Video Card?
    Many thanks,

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    On Apple Support specification for original G5 20" iMac :
    http://support.apple.com/specs/imac/iMac_G5.html
    We can see:
    "NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 Ultra with 64MB DDR SDRAM with AGP 8X support"
    On Final Cut Express HD specifications page:
    http://www.apple.com/finalcutexpress/specs.html
    We can see:
    "An AGP or PCI Express graphics card compatible with Quartz Extreme or an Intel GMA integrated graphics processor in MacBook or Mac mini"
    Quartz Extreme needs at least:spec says:
    "Quartz Extreme functionality is supported by the following video GPUs: NVIDIA GeForce2 MX and later, or any AGP-based ATI RADEON GPU. A minimum of 16MB VRAM is required."
    FCE HD3.5 application must be installed on your system disk to run without problem, and needs Mac OS X 10.4.6 (Tiger) to run.
    So, yes, your iMac can run FCE HD 3.5 .
    I Currently use FCE HD 3.0 on my other computer: an iMac G4 17"

  • NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 with Apple 23" Cinema Display?

    Hi,
    I would like to know if my graphic card in my Sony Vaio PC is compatible with a 23" Apple display ? I would like to run a splitter with one feed going to my Mac Pro and the other to my PC utilizing the same Apple LCD monitor.
    I have a NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 with 128Mb, this card has a PCI connection,but I am not sure if my card could support the Apple 23" Cinema Display that I recently purchased to replace the 19" Envison LCD that I'm currently using ?
    Does anyone have an idea ?
    Is there a list somewhere giving compatble graphic card ?
    The nvidia site does not say a word about cinema display !
    Thanks in advance

    Apple doesn't make compatibility information known
    for non-Apple systems.
    But yes, they do.
    Here is the list of tested video cards for the ACDs:

  • MacBook Pro A1260 with NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics processor

    Hello,
    I booted my MBP 2.5Ghz Core 2 Duo this morning and was greeted with a startup chime and then a pink 'chequer board' effect on screen while the apple logo appears faintly in the background. The OS doesn't ever load because the startup sequence seems to freeze shortly after this.
    I think this sounds like the infamous NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics processor failure
    If so, am I correct in thinking Apple may still be addressing the failure, free of charge. I think it's supposed to be up to 4 years from date of purchase, but given that this macbook was discontinued in Oct 2008, and it's now sept 2012 it would make it very tight, perhaps even exceeding the cutoff, becuase I can't remember the purchase date.
    Does anyone know the restrictions to this offer? Do you need the original receipt/invoice? Does the MBP need to be standard, or can it have been upgraded with SSD or 2nd Hard Drive, or anything? Are they even strict on the cutoff date? Anyone have any experience on what to expect? I'm fearing the loss of time and projects while this is being sorted out
    Thanks all.

    It's a little late for me to jump into your discussion, I only read it when I posted an issue with the same model.
    Well, I hope you got it fixed soon enough in 2012, because as I learned in the past few days after purchasing that model and reading up on the issues, Apple stopped the care for this fault on December 7th or so in 2012.
    Seeing that people still get problems due to that graphics card, I should try to return the used one I just bought. I might run well now, but who knows how long.

  • Early 2008 MBP w/ NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics processor fail

    My beautiful Macbook Pro 17" (early 2008) just started getting stripes on the screen and randomly shutting down; research and a call to a local Mac repair person say this is the known problem with the NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics processor.
    What do I do now considering the class action suit in the States, and it being 2014? Do I take it to my nearest Apple store and request a fix/replacement?
    I've been a Mac user since the early 6100, moved to my beautiful G4 ('Albert', as he was lovingly known), then on to the eMac 800. Bought the Macbook Pro 17" in May 2008 because I needed it to travel with but now it's presenting with vertical stripes and will suddenly shut down for no reason.
    Have a Mac Mini which is my main machine, but I really need the MPB for when I travel abroad.
    I don't think it's fair that the machine I bought, which I now I find out has a known issue with the graphics card, won't get dealt with because Apple closed the replacement programme in December 2012 (according to this page on Apple MacBook Pro: Distorted video or no video issues). And if it's a known faulty piece of hardware that was installed in their machines, how can there be a time limit on the replacement? If I only use my machine once in a blue moon that means it will, logically, fail much later that a person who uses a machine every day, so why do I lose out. I spent just the same amount of money to buy the new machine as everyone else so where are my consumer rights?
    If there's an Apple representative that would like to respond and resolve my issue, I would be grateful. I can take my machine to the nearest Apple 'genius' bar tomorrow for the diagnostic to prove it's a faulty Nvidia graphics processor.
    I'm hoping my dad with his Dell PC, which he bought in 2005 and is still running, is not right to scoff at my Mac love!
    With kind regards,

    Hi Kappy,
    I found my nearest UK store in Solihull, but it tells me there's no availability for appointments with people with Macs until Friday at 4pm!!! I'll be leaving the country on Thursday and need this sorted out before then.
    I don't want to delay my flight, drive all the way to Solihull to be told my MBP is out of the time perioid available for the replacement programme. What exactly do you mean by 'take it in for a service'? If it's the Nvidia card as everything points to, what will they do?
    Thanks for your time, and suggestions.
    Cheers,
    Tracy
