Driver upgrade for AMD Radeon 5770 Graphics Card

I have a 2008 Mac Pro, running OSX 10.8.5. Just installed AMD Radeon 5770 graphics card (Apple says this isn't supported; users I read said it works despite what Apple says in knowledge article (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3477). When I restarted, the system said my card was a Radeon HD 5000, not 5770. AMD's web site not clear about driver upgrade (and I believe I have to do this, since I took out the old graphics card (ATI Radeon HD 2600 that came with the Mac Pro at purchase). Didn't get a clear answer, yet, from Apple support. Anyone experience this? Does anyone know which driver to manually download from AMD's site? It's not clear, and they also suggested, talk to Apple to get driver support. Here's where I went, and found the choice not clearly mapped out for the Mac (and their autodetect software works only for XP:

You can use many more cards, even most "PC-only cards".
One more thing--
Flashed PC cards: There are a good many EFI flashed cards that offer boot screens and behave like official cards.

Help installing AMD Radeon 8490 graphic card on HP Pavilion P7-1110

Appreciate any help on this that anyone can give. I'm at a loss at the moment. Just got an AMD Radeon 8490 graphics card to put into the HP Pavilion p7-1110 desktop. I have not opened up the back of a computer for probably ten years (used to do it, but haven't for a long time). The card I got was new, but pulled from a workstation before going out, and came with no disk or documentation.
I tried just opening up the back, and putting the card in the PCI-16 slot, but when I restarted the computer, the computer did not recognize either the old integrated graphic card or the new one. When I pulled the card back out, it recognized the old integrated card.
From what I've been reading, there's a suggestion that I uninstall the Intel Integrated graphics driver before trying the install again, then plugging in the new card, turning the power back on and letting Windows 7 choose the drivers necessary for the new card, then it might work.
But what if it doesn't. Then I don't have the drivers for the old and it's gotten me nervous that I'll be without any graphics at all and unable to use the computer.
Any suggestions? Don't know why this has me this nervous, but I guess it's that lag time between dealing with a motherboard.
Appreciate any assistance, guys.
Nervous in PA.

Hi,
I see two possibilities.
The AMD 8490 is not compatible with your PC.
The 250 watt power supply in your PC is insufficient.
Try clearing the CMOS and see if that helps. If not, then try the BIOS update that is posted for your PC.

IdeaCentre B320 - Windows 8 64bit drivers for AMD radeon HD 7450 card

I have upgraded my recently bought B320 all-in-one to Windows 8 and now have a problem with video card drivers for HD7450 graphics card. Default Win 8's driver (named something like Windows Radeon HD7400 series ) works just fine, but it have no OpenGL support and therefor I can not run some games like Minecraft. Catalyst drivers available from AMD website can not detect the video card (probably because it have lenovo-specific oem ids?), and on lenovo downloads only 32bit drivers are available for AMD cards.
Was anyone able to get catalyst drivers working on B320 with 64bit Windows 8?
May be there is a compatible lenovo desktop or all-in-one which already have those drivers? And will Lenovo release 64bit video drivers for B320 anytime soon?

Till a better idea comes along:
Don't know if you have tried this but first thing I'd do is go to control panel/system/device manager, find the devices, right click and ask for it to update the drivers. If there are new ones around they should be found.
The only drivers Lenovo offers for the b320 are 32 for some reason and they may not be the best. I had a dead card reader, downloaded their drivers, and it did no good, asked the machine to update the driver, it did and it worked. I don't know where it found the driver but it was not lenovos download page.
Hopefully they will get some updated stuff soon. The tv software is poor at best.

15" MBP i7 with AMD Radeon 6750 Graphic card - video artifacts

Hello -
After I connect a projector with HDMI, the projector starts having broken up/disrorted images at start up. I brought my machine to the genius bar once and the tech used a few combo keys and it cleared the video memory and was like new again.
Does anyone have the key combo?
Better yet, is there a permanant fix?
Thanks in advance

I have an early 2008 Mac Pro, 8 gb ram with a Dell 27" display and a 42" LG TV. I am thinking about upgrading the stock ATI Radeon 2600 graphics card for better resolution, preferring 2 dvi outputs. Does anyone have any suggestions on the best card?

Does anyone have any suggestions on the best graphics card for these larger displays for the best value?

I recommend you install nothing older than the Apple-firware 5770, about US$250.

Radeon HD 5770 graphics card works perfectly with my MAC Pro 1,1 and Adobe CS6. However, Photoshop CC won't read the card drivers and says I need to reinstall them and disabled 3D funtions as a result. Anyone else with this issue?

Radeon HD 5770 graphics card works perfectly with my MAC Pro 1,1 and Adobe CS6. However, I upgraded to Adobe CC and Photoshop CC disabled some filters and 3D functionality. The preference panel for Performance/Graphics Card in Photoshop CC is greyed out and inaccessible and shows this message -
"Photoshop detected an error in your display driver. Update or reinstall the driver and check Use Graphics Processor to retry."
I still have Photoshop CS6 installed and it still works perfectly. Anyone else with this issue? Is there a driver update for this compatable with my setup?

ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 graphics card Windows 8 driver missing

I just installed Windows 8 Enterprise Trial version on HP nx9420 laptop (2GHz dual core prosessor, 4gb memory, ATI Motility Radeon X1600 graphics card with 256mb own memory, 1680x1050 native display resolution) on second partition, side by side with existing
Windows 7.
Installation succeeded perfect, except Windows 8 couldn't install, nor did find from Windows Update display driver for ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 graphics card. Only Microsoft generic display driver was installed and it offered maximum 1450x800 resolution,
so not laptops native 1680x1050 screen resolution.
Windows 7 can install working ATI driver right from Windows Update for that graphics card (version 8.561.0.0 dated 1.12.2008).
Laptop manufacturer HP has latest, old driver for Vista (version 8.453.0.0 dated 22.1.2008), so I installed that, selecting compatibility mode Vista with setup-program in Windows 8. That installed, but seems to have some problems, telling of missing library,
maybe with some ATI extra diplay manager software and C++ 2005 library, that it installed.
MY QUESTION: Is there some problems with Windows 8 and that ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 graphics card? Why isn't the Windows 7 -version of ATI mobility radeon X1600 display driver available in Windows Update for Windows 8 too?

Thank you all of your thanks.
I can confirm that this solution works with Windows 10 Technology/Insider preview too. And surely works with forthcoming Windows RTM too.
Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 TP work both like a charm with nearly 10 years old HP Compaq nx9420 laptop, with Intel Core 2 Duo and ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 display adapter. Nice co-operation of "old" hardware and very Modern Windows OS.
So in brief:
If you have laptop with ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 or other X1000-series display adapter and
you want to install Windows 8, 8.1 or 10, do this:
0) First just install Windows 8.x/10. It will install Microsoft Generic display driver, but that doesn't support full resolution of ATI Mobility Radeon X1000 -series - for example it may show maximum 1400x1050 -resolution, thus your laptop display and Radeon
X1000 may support native 1650x1050, but you can't obtain that resolution with that Microsoft generic driver. So you need ATI-driver and you can get it this way:
1) With Internet Explorer (this doesn't work with other browsers) go to
Microsoft Update -catalog: http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/
2) Search "ATI Mobility Radeon X1600"
(or X1300, X1800 etc)
3) Sort search results by date (last update -column), latest on top. You will see drivers for Windows 7
- they will work with Windows 8.x and 10 too. There is certainly two of them; other is 32 bit only and other is 64 bit dirver.
4) Select proper driver version of them, according your Windows 32 or 64 bit, so click Add
5) At top-right click Show basket and then download those driver packages to your computer. They are cab-file
-packages.
6) Obtain 7-zip -utility, install it and with it unpack that cab-driver package on folder with its package-name.
7) On start of taskbar, right mouse button click Windows-Start and then select Hardware management. On
Hardware management -window open Display adapter -section, then mouse right click Microsoft adapter and select Update driver. Then on next window, select search driver from computer.
8) Browse on folder, where you unpacked ATI driver (on stage 6 earlier) and select Next ... that updates
driver, on the go and you don't need even to reboot Windows.
9) Now you have proper ATI Mobility Radeon -driver in use. It surely sets automatically resolution
according your laptop screen (so recommended native resolution of screen panel) or you can select that on diplay settings.
Extra: For that Windows 8.x/10 boot works fine too, do this too:
Seems that Windows 8.x (and Windows 10 too), with their hybrid-shutdown -functionality, require some support of the display adapter, that ATI Radeon Mobility x1000 -series don't have.
So the solution is to disable that Windows 8.x (or Windows 10) hybrid boot -functionality (that is quicker boot) and to use "normal boot".
You can fix that this way:
- at end of Taskbar click battery/power icon and select Power settings
- navigate to power and sleep settings
- either at bottom of those settings, or in Win10 more power settings, select power buttons functionality/settings (so what power button, sleep button or closing laptop screen does)
- at bottom of those settings is shutdown options (or with similar name). uncheck "use quick boot" -settings (for to uncheck that you may need to click first upper "changing disabled settings" (or similar name) at top or windows)
(I recommend to check Hibernate at the same time too, because that is usefull)
- then Save settings and reboot Windows and you have got rid of that problem that Windows 8.x/10 don't show Lock screen, now it does.
Boot takes just a little longer, so practically no problem. And if you need quicker boot with laptop, use Hibernate-state, so don't shut down your laptop, but instead put it into Hibernate-state (that is better than Sleep mode, because Hibernate-mode doesn't
consume battery-power, like Sleep-mode does)

Update for AMD High-Definition Graphics Driver

I have a HP Pavilion g6 Notebook LW350UA#ABA 64 bit operating system Windows 7. HP Assistant is offering me a update for AMD High-Definition Graphics Driver. It goes through the check list with green checkmarks next to them all the way down to the download completion. Then it goes through the installation but stops with a black X beside that. I close out the HP Assistant and it shows on the Task Bar with a Red Exclamation Point still offering me the same update. I would appreciate any help in how to get this update installed.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi,
It doesn't look like there are any recent AMD updates for your notebook, so this may be a configuration error with HP Support Assistant.
Try the following.
First of all, uninstall your current version of HP Support Assistant by using the Microsoft 'Fixit' on the following link - this is particularly useful in correcting issues that may prevent reinstallation on machines running a 64bit OS.
http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
When this has completed, restart the notebook.
Next download and install the latest version of HP Support Assistant from the page on the link below - the download links are towards the bottom of the page.
http://h18021.www1.hp.com/helpandsupport/hp-support-assistant.html
After the installation, restart the notebook again.
Check if HPSA still offers the AMD update.
Regards,

Firefox won't redraw on analog monitor driven by Radeon 4350 graphics card

I'm running two XP SP3 on a reasonably current desktop with 4 GB and an ASUS Radeon 4350 graphics card with 512MB. The card drives two Samsung SyncMaster 2443 monitors, one from analog RGB port, the other from a DVI port. I've been using Firefox since v.3, but sometime around v.8 or v.9, it began to have problems when ever I had a Firefox window open on the analog video port. (I'm current with v.27.0.1)
The window 'appeared' to freeze - clicks, scrolling and the like failed to produce a re-drawing of the window's content. However, if I dragged the window over to the other monitor running off the DVI port, the Firefox window would re-draw itself with the new content. This behaviour told me two things. On the analog port the Firefox window was still alive, and responding to keyboard and mouse inputs, but not displaying the results. Secondly, the problem was related to the Firefox - RGB interface. Oh! I forgot to mention: Firefox was the only application exhibiting this behaviour.
A support session with ASUS produced no solution. After searching several related Mozilla support issues, on a problem closely related to mine someone suggested turning off the hardware accelerator, and re-starting Firefox (Tools > Options > Advanced > General > "Use hardware acceleration when available"), which I did. Poof! Problem solved, case closed. Except, Why?
Is this just because of my hardware setup? Or Firefox - I generally have 6 to 10 windows open at a time, some with several dozen tabs (I'm a software architect, so tend to keep a lot of context on the desktop). I'm glad I can scroll Firefox now on my other monitor, and click buttons and be able to read the response, but I think there's a defect here somewhere...

I think it has something to do with the acceleration compatibility of many type of graphics cards.
"Unfortunately, due to the wide range of possible driver, video card and operating system combinations, hardware acceleration or 3D web graphics (WebGL) may still not work for you in Firefox. In these instances you fix the problems by disabling hardware acceleration and WebGL. "

i have a Enermax ERV1250EGT power supply. the card is in the top blue pcie slot. i have connected the PCI-E 2.0 6+2 (8)Pin connectors (see http://www.enermax.co.uk/revolution85 - connectors tab, sorry no direct link but they are the red ones to be seen in the the bottom left corner of the picture: http://www.hardwareheaven.com/reviewimages/enermax_revolution_1250w/thumbs/10.jpg, i.e. 6 pin + 2 pin = 8 pin).
the card will just not start, i.e. when i boot the pc nothing happens. it works fine without and works fine with my old graphics card (gtx 260).
pics of the asus radeon 6990 here:
http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/ASUS/Radeon_HD_6990/images/power.jpg
any ideas? is there anything different to this card than with other cards? have installed systems over the past 10 years and never had an issue until now.

How to upgrade my Macbook Pro's Graphic Card?

I have a Early 2012 13 inch Macbook Pro and it's ***** when I play games.
Here are the specs:
- 2.8 GHz dual-core Intel Core i7
- 6 GB RAM
- Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
- OSX Mavericks 10.9.2
- 750 GB HDD 1333 MHz DDR3
It lags a lot when I play such an old games such as GTA Vice City (the FPS drops a lot when my mac getting hot) or GTA San Andreas (quite stable). Both of them aren't modded and still original. Is there any way to upgrade my Macbook Pro's graphic card?

You cannot upgrade the Graphics card on a laptop because everything is built into the logic board. Unfortunately your perticular graphics chip is actually built into the CPU, and is a very low performing chip which would definately make gaming hard.
Sorry for the bad news.

Problems connecting 1 monitor and 1 TV to 2gb DDR3 AMD Radeon 7570 video card.

I recently purchased an Hp h8-1360t computer with a 2gb DDR3 AMD Radeon 7570 video card and an Hp 2711 LED monitor. I am having problems connecting both the monitor (dvi) and a 50" Sony LCD TV (hdmi) with a 50' hdmi cable. When starting the computer, once the initial Win 7 boot up is finished, the monitor screen goes blank, except for the mouse pointer. When I turn on the tv and select the correct input source a normal Win 7 screen with icons appears on the tv. Only the wallpaper picture displays on the monitor and no icons. If play a dvd movie it will only show up on the tv with the sound coming from the speakers attached to the computer.
I would like to retain control of the computer using the monitor. I tried to set the monitor up as the primary display source using the monitor configuration menu,but it won't allow me to save the dvi connection as the primary display source. The documentation that came with the computer and what I was able to find on the Hp site is lacking....to say the least.
Any assistance with this problem will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tony

First I would disconnect the TV HDMI cable from the computer. That should return the PC screen to normal. May have to reboot to get normal. Then reconnect the TV HDMI and go into the screen setup routine, paying attention to which screen is supposed to display what information.

Smaller resolution for AMD Radeon R5

I have a Satellite C55D-B5310 with the AMD Radeon R5 Graphics adapter running Windows 8.1
The driver version is 13.352.1004.1008, which I believe is the latest.
The finest resolution (which is recommended by Toshiba) is 1366x768.
I would prefer to use a smaller resolution: 1440x900 (or smaller) since I work on spreadsheets which contain many columns and the web pages I visit often now require that I scroll more frequently.
Is there a way to obtain a screen resolution so that I can display smaller objects on my laptop screen?

Is there a way to obtain a screen resolution so that I can display smaller objects on my laptop screen?
No. The native resolution is a property of the flat-panel display.
Your AMD Radeon R5 should be able to supply a higher resolution to an external monitor attached via the RGB or HDMI port.
