Dual Aluminum 23" Displays with GeForce 120 (Do I Need 2 Cards?)

Hello, does anyone know if I need 2 GeForce 120 cards in the Nehalem Mac to run dual 23" aluminum displays?

No, but you need this component to hook up the second one.

  • Performance Problems with GeForce FX 5600 256mb Video Card

    I recently purchased the GeForce FX 5600 VTD 256mb video card to replace my old ATi Radeon 8500 64mb card.  I'm running an AMD 2800XP+ on an MSI K7N2 Delta-L, with 1gb of PC 2100 on Windows XP Pro.
    I installed the latest drivers (from the EGA site) and ran 3DMark 2001 SE.  My score for the old card (a 64mb card) was about 9200.  My score for the new 256mb card is only 8700.  My roommate has a GeForce 4 TI4600 128mb video card.  We put his card in my computer, and I scored 11117.  According to PCStats.com, the FX 5600 128mb version scored about 11000.
    I've tried everything I can think of to ensure my video card is working properly,  but I still get low scores.  I don't know if I'm missing something somwhere, but there has to be a way to get more performance out of the video card.  Can anyone help me out here?

    Yeah, I've ran the driver cleaner after changing each driver.  And I've tried several drivers with the new card.  I've even changed the clock settings a bit, which has helped bring the scores up to around 9000.  Still way off from the GeForce 4 or the 128mb version of the 5600.

  • Premiere Pro CS6: GPU acceleration with GeForce GTX 600 series video cards?

    Anyone know if Premiere Pro CS6 support GPU acceleration with the new GeForce GTX 600 series video cards?

    1 - check the results at http://ppbm5.com/ to see which models are listed
    2 - For "some" others, with at least 1Gig of video ram, use the nVidia Hack http://forums.adobe.com/thread/629557 - which is a simple entry in a "supported cards" file

  • 20" cinema display with GeForce 9800 GT card

    I haven't gotten my new computer yet, but it comes with the GeForce 9800 GT video card that has a DVI-I port. My cinema display has the ADC style connection. With a DVI to ADC converter (say, the Gefen Ex-tend-it conversion box) , will my cinema display be able to work with my card?
    Link to Gefen conversion box specs: http://industrialcomponent.com/gefen/gedvi2adc.html
    I've done research and it seems as though it will work, but I am not certain.
    Thanks for any and all replies!

    Will the Apple one work with a PC?
    Yes, if the PC can handle the display resolution (1680 x 1050 60 Hz).
    Also, do you know how this monitor would look with modern computer games?
    If the game doesn't change the resolution from 1680 x 1050, it should be fine.

  • Can I run Radeon 4870 + GeForce 120 simultaneously

    What seems like a pretty obvious question is one I can't find answered on the web.
    I just ordered a Mac Pro with GeForce 120 as standard, and I also ordered a Radeon 4870 to install in it.
    I'll put the radeon in the main slot and move the geforce into the 2nd slot.
    Can I do this? Will both cards operate and allow desktop spanning etc?
    Also, will the colour reproduction be the same across both screens? I will be running 2 x 24" LED displays.
    Thanks in advance.

    Wouldn't it be better to connect one to each card, therefore giving 512MB of RAM to each screen, rather than splitting the 512MB of one card amongst two screens?
    The VRAM may be better utilized with two cards and two displays, but unlike Crossfire or SLI, you will not get the combined processing power of the two cards.
    Many applications won't benefit at all from two layers of VRAM.
    You will, in fact, be rendering all graphics with one card, with that card then passing the information onto the second card.
    The VRAM on the primary card, as well as the GPU, are still going to be working as if two displays were connected to it.
    What would cause a hit in performance?
    In all practicality, Yes.
    What all this means, in reality, is higher latency on the PCI bus while passing graphics from one card to the other, without any gains in processing from the second card.
    In a dual display/dual card setup, this means one may actually lose performance as opposed to two monitors on a single card.
    In a three monitor setup, well, these issues become moot out of necessity for additional display ports.
    And to reiterate what Malcolm said, some applications may actually have trouble with dual card setups.
    FCP is one known to have issues.

  • Dual 2 GB G5 with FCP. Can I add a video monitor?

    Hi,
    I have the dual 2 GHz G5 with ATI Radeon 9600 Pro graphics card. I'm using an Apple Studo Display connected to one port of the PCI card.
    Is there a way to plug a video monitor into the other port so I can see what real video looks like as I edit in FCP?
    If not, what are my options?
    Thanks,
    TyFord

    In your manual there is a simple description of how to connect an NTSC/PAL monitor.
    It involves firewire out to an DV/Analog converter (can be your camera) then using analog cables to the TV.
    The video card is not the way to go.
    good luck.

  • Nvidia Geforce 120 vs ATI radeonX800XT

    I just purchased a new Mac Pro with the Nvidia card. I have the X800XT from the old G5 Powermac that it is replacing. I know Aperture like a fast video card, which should I use, the newer low end Nvidia or the older higher end ATI? I can't seem to find a direct comparison.

    The X800XT won't physically fit in your new Mac Pro, so it's a non-issue.
    That said, the GeForce 120 is the slowest card you can get for the new Mac Pro. If you want a fast card, get the GeForce GT 285 or whatever that is now available on the store, if you find performance on your new machine wanting. But, try what you have first

  • 2.26 8 core with GeForce GT 120 & dual 30" ACD, what to do?

    I'm almost getting the new 2.26 with the standard GeForce GT 120 card, now I need to use dual 30" with the new machine & I'm currently using the dual 30" setup with my 1st generation 2.66 quad with GT8800 & everything running smoothly. How I can do the same setup ?
    1. Can I install my GT 8800 card (1st generation) in my new 2.26 early 2009?
    2. Can I add another GeForce GT 120 so I can connect each monitor individually to cards?
    3. Buy the dual link mini display adapter & use only GeForce GT 120? (I don't like adapter idea)
    I need your advise for this & I'll be using the system for photography (aperture)

    No. You would need the 8800 made for the 2008 Mac Pro.
    2. Can I add another GeForce GT 120 so I can connect each monitor individually to cards?
    Yes, but some operations are faster if both displays use the same card.

    That should be best.

  • Another dual display problem - GeForce FX 5200

    I've seen lots of questions about dual display problem, situation when trying to connect two non-apple vga displays to your graphic card.
    I have GeForce FX 5200 graphic card, with 2 display output's. And two DELL 17" vga LCD displays.
    I manage to connect 1 display regulary with dvi to vga converter, but for other display I tried several difrent converters ADC to DVI to VGA, and it just did NOT work.
    G5 could see other display in display settings, in arrange option I coud see two identical displays, but I don't get anu picture (desktop) on other display???
    Is it problem with output's on my graphic card (Gforce FX 5200), could it be soloved with some ADC to VGA converter?
    P.S. Dr. Bott ADC VGA Extractor is not compatible with GeForce FX 5200????

  • Connect the powerbook 15"-Display with a new G5 dual and a ACD?

    hi
    i wonder if i could connect the pb 15" display with a new G5 dual and turn the pb off, only the display on?
    that would be fun.
    i am working with a pb 15" and a ACD 20" with Photoshop mainly.
    the 15" is the palettes‘ server and the ACD is the main working screen where i retouch my pics.
    so if i buy a G5 dual now, i would have to buy a ACD30" for example to use one display for all the Photoshop Palettes and couldn use the pb 15" anymore?
    any other less awkward solutions i am not aware of maybe?
    thanks"

    I'm pretty sure that you can't use a PowerBook for it's display only. You already know, of course, that you can use the PowerBook, as a computer, with an external monitor, with or without the PB's own display running, but so far as I know you cannot use a PB solely for its display.
    So, if you bought a G5 dual now, and bought an ACD 30", you could use both your ACD's with your new G5 dual, the 20" and the 30" , but your PowerBook would have to watch the proceedings from the sidelines.

  • Why my new Mac mini  DVI dual link mini display port adapter doesn't work  with my 30"display (LG W3000H)?

    Hello There
    Can any of you advise on the below? Tried to connect Mac mini with a 30" display through a DVI dual link mini display port adapter. For the first try Mac mini go connected to the display, then i've chosen the highest resolution (2560x1600, native) and right at that moment they got disconected. Since then the display stays black. What can be the issue, is it possible DVI dual link mini display port adapter is not compatible with 30"display (LG W3000H)? It works with DVI male-male cable plus DVI HDMI adapter as long as the resolution stays under 1280x800. Any idea is much appreciated.
    Thank you, Vera

    Hi,
    I can report that my Mac Mini Intel Duo connected instantly and without even having to set it up (on the first try) with my 1366x768 native resolution DELL 50" Plasma Display. It's so beautiful that I just want to stand there and fondle my HDTV as I drool haplessly like Homer Simpson with a doughnut in his mouth. Seriously, no problems.... guess I bought the right cable (ebay).
    Before you buy a Duo, make sure you're aware of the airport and bluetooth issues that so many (maybe everyone who tries to use them together) are having. It seems that bluetooth interferes with airport, or maybe the other way around. Anyway, it's messed up. Also, Airport reception is generally VERY poor with the new Intel Mac Mini.
    Despite these things, I still love mine (I now have 2 base stations and an airport express for my powerhouse wireless needs, and an external DLink bluetooth-2-USB dongle solved the bluetooth/airport issues... in my case).
    FWIW,
    awk

  • Possible to do dual display with a mini?

    I have an early 2008 Mac mini (Intel) - with the standard DVI connector; using the supplied DVI/VGA adapter to connect to an LCD monitor.
    I'm just wondering if it is possible to use two displays with this model and if so, how do I connect the second monitor?

    Several ways of doing it in this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8335705&#8335705
    If you want to go the usb route, see also:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/VIDU2DVIA/
    Be sure to examine the limitations of each method.
    (I'd also consider that your 2008 Mini likely has substantial resale value and that you might prefer getting a 2009 Mini which natively supports dual displays.)

  • Dual display with MacPro?

    I've seen lots of posts about this subject but haven't yet found a definitive solution to my problem... Recently got a MacPro (2 x 2.26GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon/6GB 1066 MHZ DDR3/NVIDIA GeForce GT120 if that helps) I still have the 2 Apple Studio Display monitors which I used with my old G5, connected to it via DVI-ADC adapter. As the new MacPro only has a single DVI input which I need the adapter for (the monitors have ADC connectors) Is it possible to connect the second monitor? I've yet to find a mini display port - ADC adapter and budget wise, new displays are pretty much out of the question. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    There are good displays in the $250 range while some MiniDisplay adapters run $99. Probably worth checking Dr Bott and MacSales for ADC adapter or monitor.
    Best to put your hardware config in your sig profile at bottom.
    Mac Pro 8-core (Xeon goes without saying, as does DDR3, but helps to know video card!)
    Maybe leave one ADC display with whatever you do with G5.
    Tip: migrating applications from G5 is not a wise idea, reinstall clean.
