Difference between Radeon 9650 and Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Edition?

I was considering upgrading to a 9800 Pro Mac edition to replace my Radeon 9650. Would there be much of a performance improvement?
Should I go for the X800XT?
Thanks
Andrew

Hi Curnsie,
Realize this thread is "answered" already, but, actually, there is a good bit of difference between the 9650 and the 9800. Have a look here:

Does 10.5.6 Support Dual displays for Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Edition cards?

Does 10.5.6 Support Dual displays for Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Edition cards?
And is there driver updates for anyone using the all-in-ones HP printers...has anyone been able to use their scanners since the update? and has the dual screen support been added to avoid the blue screen on startup?

The ATI Radeon 9600 PC/Mac edition 256 MB should work in the MDD G4. It has two DVI ports (one is dual-link and can support a 30" display). You will need adapters for ADC displays.

Ati radeon 9800 pro mac edition power cable install

radeon 9800 pro mac edition power cable is a 6 pin arrangement on the one I have. What cable do i need in order to attach it to a late 2005 G5 2.0 dual core power source?

The Radeon 9800 Pro is an AGP graphics card.
It CANNOT be used in a Late 2005 PCIe graphics G5.
IF you have an AGP graphics model of G5, using a Molex splitter is how it is done.

Aperture and ATI Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Special Edition

I have noticed a few people on this board have the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Special Edition (256MB- G5 only) listed on thier specs on the bottom of posts
so I was wondering what your experience using this card is like with Aperture, even-though it I realize that it is not the current top of the line card ?
How about a rating from 0 to 5 stars where 5 would be the best currently available.

P.S lets not get into a p**** match over what IS the best video card for Aperture; I am just looking for subjective views on THIS card!

I have just the card you mentioned.
I think how happy you'd be with it depends on what kinds of files you are using. I work with TIFF files because my camera is not supported, and performance with those is better than with true RAW files.
I generally do not see much delay but a few adjustmnet tools (Shadows & Highlights & Spot/Patch) can get a bit pokey.
Honestly if I were upgrading my card all over again I would bit the bullet and get the x800XT, which I am mulling over even now... I was hoping it might drop a bit more in price but it does not seem to be doing so.
If you want an absolute rating I guess I'd give it three stars, though again that is with the files that I use. For other larger RAW formats like D2H files and such, I think it's more of a two.
One last thing to note is that I have not tired other raw formats since the update, so it might be upgraded from a two... I was waiting to see what kind of speedup Aperture 1.1 offered in addition to just the system update. I'll report back when that update comes out.

What is the correct installation sequence for my ATI Radeon 9800 PRO MAC AGP 128MB into my Quicksilver 867 G4?

Hi.
I just got my used ATI Radeon 9800 PRO MAC AGP 128MB card.
What is the correct installation sequence into my Quicksilver 867 G4 running 10.4.11 on one drive 10.5 on another?
The original NVIDIA GeForce2 MX - 32MB SDRAM went bust.
Is the driver build in 10.4?
Do I remove the old driver?
If I need to install the driver that came with it, (10.3.6) should the card be installed first?
What about firmware updates?
Thank you for all your time and patience.
W.W.

I think it's the card, but here are some files that may affect it...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/ByHost /com.apple.preference.displays.<12digitHex#>.plist
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver.plist

Getting two Displays to Work on a Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Special Edition

Hi Folks
I am reallt having difficulties here. Let me explain:
1. I have a Power Mac G5 (2004) Dual 2GHz WITH 2GB Ram (http://support.apple.com/specs/powermac/PowerMac_G5_June2004.html)
1. I have just purchaed two 24" Dell Displays that come with DVI and VGA leads (http://accessories.euro.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=uk&l=en&s=bsd&cs=ukbsd t1&sku=59234).
2. I have also purchaed Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Special Edition 256 DDR (http://ati.amd.com/products/radeon9800/radeon9800proseme/specs.html).
3. I want to connect both displays to my 9800. One of them can go into the DVI port, but what do I need to get the other monitor working on the 9800? I presume I will need some kind of adapter?
I have spent literally hours, and hours seaching forums and google to find the answer to this.... just can't find the solution.
If anyone can help I would be indebted.
Thank you so much.

Hey Hatter
Thats great. I have already bought the 9800 so unfortuantly Im committed. I managed to get it for about $200 brand new so I felt that was a reasonable price.
I have pruchased the following adapter - http://www.pcwb.com/catalogue/item/GEFEN068?speedtrapid=froogle&lead=froogle
Thanks so much for the advance....your a star mate!!

The difference between chapter markers and dvd studio pro markers

Does anyone know what is the difference between chapter markers and dvd studio pro markers? I can not find anywhere on Google. Also in the tutorials I have seen, suggesting DVD Studio Pro markers, but it did not mention the chapter markers.
Thanks,

"Adding Chapter and Compression Markers to Your Sequence
Once you have your edited sequence or program finished, you can add markers to the sequence for use on DVD. Markers are reference points you can place within clips or sequences that identify specific frames. There are two kinds of markers you can add that directly relate to authoring a DVD—chapter markers and compression markers.
• Chapter markers allow DVD authoring applications to create a navigable chapter list for your exported QuickTime movie. Chapter markers force MPEG keyframes (known as I-frames) at their location, since the DVD specification requires an I-frame at each chapter point.
• Compression markers identify areas of abrupt change and include two types: those that are automatically inserted by Final Cut Pro at all edit points, and those you manually place in the clip or sequence. Like chapter markers, compression markers force I-frames at their location, although in this case it is for better quality encoding, and they are not used to create a chapter list.
Note: When you export a QuickTime movie, you have an option to export various kinds of markers, including compression, chapter, or DVD Studio Pro markers. *When you choose to export DVD Studio Pro markers, Final Cut Pro actually exports chapter markers and all compression markers.* This includes compression markers you set manually, as well as ones created automatically by Final Cut Pro at edit and transition points."
From the Final Cut Pro User Manual.

ATI Radeon 9000 PRO Mac Edition supported under Tiger ?

Hi all,
we are still using OS X 10.3.x for our venerable G4 AGP mac. Back in 2005 when Tiger was the new OS, we were told that our ATI Radeon™ 9000 PRO Mac Edition graphics would not be supported under 10.4.x. Has this changed? I don't want to upgrade to Leopard yet, but would like to use some Tiger features as Mail 2.0 or improved iSync.
Thanks for any input ...

So is this why all my fonts are screwed on my G4 MDD dual 1.25 using a ATI 9000 Pro?
Seems as tho it works perfectly fine when i had 10.4.10 but when 10.4.11 was released all my fonts are screwed. Even when booting from a OSX CD. I installed 10.5 and still doesnt work.
looks like i need a 9600.

Can I use an ATI Radeon 9000 Pro Mac Edition 128MB Video Card in a Mac Min

Looking to buy a Mac mini.
In 2004 I upgraded the graphics card in my dual processor 450 MHz G4 desktop with an ATI Radeon 9000 Pro Mac Edition 128MB Video Card to run a 20-inch Cinema Display.
Now my G4 has died (probably the power supply and I'm being told it's not worth it to fix---buy a Mac mini!)
But I've read that the graphics card in the Mac mini is not stellar and I'm wondering if I could reuse the ATI Radeon 9000 Pro Mac Edition 128MB Video Card in the Mac mini. Would this be a good thing to do?
Any thoughts/advice would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,

There are people that claim to have hooked up a PCI-e 1x card (yes, the Mini uses PCI-e). But that requires some serious hardware modifications including soldering, a PC power supply, and so on. But that card is an old AGP card so even that wouldn't even work for what you've got.

Difference between MX 2004 and MX 2004 Pro?

I have a fairly unusual situation and am looking for some
rookie info from a generous soul. What is the difference between
Dreamweaver MX 2004 and MX Professional 2004? I once had MX, the
version before 2004, I believe. I used it to create a web site to
show my paintings. Eventually I changed computers, went to load my
copy of Dreamweaver, and discovered that it had disappeared. As a
starving artist, I have not been able to replace it. (I haven't
updated my art site in almost 2 years!) I'm trying to now, but
can't afford (and don't think I need) v8. I think MX 2004 will do
nicely for my needs. But what is MX Pro? (Can't get the info on
Macromedia site, unless I'm even more rookie than I thought.)
Please help!

Be careful.

Font difference between MS WORD and Adobe Acrobat Pro

I am facing an issue with Font difference between the PDF's which are created through MS word "Save as PDF" utility and Adobe PDF maker add-on. Let me explain what my analysis detail.
1. Both MS word and Adobe acrobat using the font from the windows\fonts folder where my font Univers ATT font resides. I have confirmed this with the Acrobat distiller. below is the screenshot.
2. If I check the font properties through File->properties->Fonts tab both PDF font properties looks same.
Save as PDF
Adobe PDF
When comparing the PDF we are able to see the font formatting mismatch between these two PDF. Below screenshot.
Please advise me how to resolve the issue. The form should be match in formatting level also in order to proceed the implementation in my project.
Expecting your answer soon.

Thank you Bill.
Actually the difference not showing until we are selecting the Formatting option. The below screenshots illustrate the same.
Comparing two documents:
The difference not showing before selecting formatting.
Selecting the formatting option.
Once selected the formatting I am getting the formatting level difference between the PDF's. One is created with MS word SAVE AS PDF utility. The other PDF created with ADOBE PDFMAKER.
The comment pop-up clearly says in terms of font, fill color there should be difference. But I am not sure how Compare documents option comparing and showing the result. What all are the factors would be consider during comparison. Please help. Until resolving the issue I can't resume my project. Thanks in advance.

ATI Radeon X800 XT or ATI Radeon 9600 Pro Mac Edition for 30" display

I currently have the ATI Radeon 9600 Pro installed in my G5 2.0 DP and it is running my 30" display, but I am having some isssues when I play DVD's the pictures seems to skip every few seconds like it isn't playing fast enough, or it hesitates. I bought the ATI Radeon X800 XT and wanted to know if that would be a better card before I switch it out.

The X800 is a faster card but DVD playback doesn't put much load on the card, so the X800 probably won't help. If it skipping on more than one DVD, the DVD drive is probably having problems. Cleaning the lens ay help.

What is the major difference between a 13" and 15" macbook pro?

Besides the size obviously, but is there anything else?

The CPU in the 15" is a quad-core while that in the 13" is a dual-core. The 13" only uses the Intel 4000 GPU while the 15" comes with both the Intel 4000 and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M, etc.
Here is a page with side-by-side comparisons.

What's the difference between the Admin and Root accounts in Mac OS X?

Does anyone know what the difference is between the Admin account and Root user option on Snow Leopard?
I've read on Network Security forums that I should have two accounts on my Macs (I'm the owner and only user), 1 for Admin controls / access and another for general use. I was under the impression that I only needed one account, and even though it was specified as an "Admin" account I didn't really need to worry about it as I would still need to go into Directory Utility and "Enable Root User" to really allow a program to gain access / control of my Mac.
Can somebody please clear this up for me?
Thanks in advance
L Rembrandt

Root can do anything, without further authentication. There is only one root account and it is disabled by default.
An admin user can do many things without further authentication, but can become root by authenticating with his own password. There can be any number of admin users.
A standard (non-admin) user can only modify the contents of his own home folder, but can become and do admin and even root tasks by authenticating with an administrator's username and password, if he knows it.
Most security professionals recommend running with the fewest privileges as are necessary, elevating to the higher privilege only when needed, and returning to the lower privilege when the higher one is no longer needed.
Apple recommends running as a non-admin user all the time. It is the best for security, and is convenient too, since nearly all admin and root tasks can be done from a non-admin account, simply by authenticating with an admin username/password when prompted. I do admin and root tasks from my non-admin account all the time this way. My admin account almost never gets used; it has been months since I actually logged in to it.
If you are not already using a non-admin account, it's easy to switch: Just create a new account with admin privileges, and then remove admin privileges from your own account.

Radeon 9200 Pro Mac Edition?

Does this card support Core graphics for DVD Player, Time Machine Front Row, and Itunes Cover Flow?

Hi-
You can have Quartz Extreme support without Core Image support, but any card that supports Core Image also supports Quartz Extreme.
They are not the same thing.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QuartzCompositor#QuartzExtreme
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Core_Image
Quartz Extreme is a basic necessity for any OS X prior to Tiger, and is still a necessity for GUI functions, as well as many softwares today.
Quartz Extreme leverages the GPU via OpenGL.
For better Quartz Extreme support, later version support for OpenGL is necessary.
Even without Core Image support, proper OpenGL support is necessary for proper application function.
Tiger needs support for OpenGL 1.5.
Leopard needs support for OpenGL 2.0.
Core Image is a more modern use of the GPU for offloading previously CPU intensive tasks.
Core Image support is recommended for Tiger, but should be thought of as required for Leopard.
No Radeon card lower than a 9600 series card supports Core Image, and no Geforce card lower than the 6200 series properly supports Core Image.
PCI graphics in an AGP machine +is not+ a performance option.
The only reason one would want a PCI graphics card in an AGP machine is to connect additional monitors, with the understanding that advanced feature support would be absent.
Even though the 9200 PCI can be hacked for Quartz Extreme support, it can be a highly problematic card, alone or otherwise.
http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/Graphics/macradeon_9200pcitests.html
http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/osx/quartzextreme_pcimod.html
Even with a hack, many apps will not see the card as supporting Quartz Extreme.
Besides, the best OpenGL support a 9200 can do (PCI or AGP) is OpenGL 1.4.
