fx5200 is not very powerful of course, but I don't need to run CS4 or other big programs... I want just run leopard and, maybe, iphoto.
thanks

timed out. but there where only 64mb of ram...

GeForce4 MX Mac Edition and Core Image

Do I have Core Image Support under either Tiger 10.4.11 or Leopard 10.5.7 using a GeForce4 MX (Mac Edition, originally installed in a QS 2002 Dual 1GHz)?
I'm running it in a Digital Audio Dual 533 in its 4x AGP Slot.
Under Leopard 10.5.7, the system profiler says its Software Supported, but I don't see any "Ripple Effect" when adding something to the Dashboard. Under Tiger 10.4.11, it says Not Supported. I thought I had at least Software support in my Quicksilver 2002 Dual 1GHz when I was running with Leopard or maybe Tiger there ... CI wasn't available in Panther 10.3.9, was it?
Any suggestions where I can get Mac OS X Tiger and Leopard GeForce 4MX user documentation?
I'd like to make to best use of it in my DA under Tiger (and maybe Leopard).
Thanks!

Bill,
I'm a little confused at what exactly "Software core image is", for information sake my eMac with an ATI 7500 (does not support core image) displays the same behaviour in 10.4 and 10.5 (Core image 'not supported' in 10.4 and 10.5 'software supported'), but no ripple effect etc..
In my experience any card that does not supported hardware-wise for Core Image won't display the ripple effect - maybe there is an underlying advantage of 'software supported' video cards but I'm not sure what - maybe it's just vague terminology which means the same thing under 10.4 and 10.5
I suppose the conclusion I have is don't expect to see the 'ripple effect' or other visual core image features :P.

Quartz Composer effects render blank white video - confused re Core Image

I've tried the Quartz Composer effects in iMovie 6 but they preview as blank white video and when I apply the effect they render as blank white video.
Here's my video config:
Chipset Model: ATY,RADEON
Type: Display
Bus: AGP
Slot: SLOT-A
VRAM (Total): 32 MB
Vendor: ATI (0x1002)
Device ID: 0x5144
Revision ID: 0x0000
ROM Revision: 113-74901-224
Displays:
Acer AL1912:
Resolution: 1152 x 870 @ 75 Hz
Depth: 32-bit Color
Core Image: Not Supported
Main Display: Yes
Mirror: Off
Online: Yes
Quartz Extreme: Supported
After reading this page:
http://www.apple.com/support/imovie/hottips/
I see that the Quartz Composer effects are supported only for Core Image supported video cards. I think that means I'm out of luck. It seems odd that the effects still attempt to render and be applied even if my system doesn't support them. Is something wrong with my installation, or is this expected behavior?
I've seen statements here on the discussions that Quartz Extreme should enable effects like the ripple when opening or closing Dashboard Widgets. My card does support Quartz Extreme but I do not see the ripples. I'm guessing that it's actually Core Image that produces those effects and that's why I don't see them. Is that a correct guess?
I guess I'm confused over the difference between Quartz Extreme and Core Image.
Thanks for clearing up my confusion...

Quartz Extreme, as I understand it, is used by OS X for drawing windows
That is true. Quartz Extreme is a special, hardware accelerated instance of Quartz. Quartz is OS X's native drawing environment. When Quartz Extreme is not supported, Quartz will be used instead.
Quartz Composer is something else that builds on Quartz. It appears it requires Core Image. Core Image is a set of graphics routines that allow image manipulation (if you have the developer package installed, you can also find an application called 'Quartz Composer' that you can use to define effects, screensavers etc).
Core Image also intents to leverage your GPU. Apple's Documentation alleges that if there is no GPU available it will use the CPU instead. Theoretically, your Mac should support Core Image. Yet...
From Dennis' System specs:
Core Image: Not Supported
This may be the reason why you can't use these effects in iMovie. Because of shortcomings in iMovie's plug-in API, the plug-ins may still show up in the f/x panel - they simply will not function when selected.
Perhaps a later version of OS X enables CoreImage on all Macs?
Hope this helps,

Dual G4, MDD: Cheapest Core Image graphics card?

I have read some of the comments about graphics cards on various threads, but what I'm after is the cheapest card which supports Core Image and will run on my dual G4 MDD.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
William

Thanks, Allen.
Is that really the cheapest at $180 ?
Well that's the cheapest card retail card currently available on the market. The other retail card available is the ATI Radeon 9800.
If you don't go retail, then your choices divide basically between:
1. OEM Apple cards that can work unmodified in an MDD
2. OEM Apple cards that can be modified to work
3. Flashed/modified PC cards
I'll take them in turn.
*1. OEM Apple cards that can work unmodified in an MDD*
I think the only OEM card that supports Core Image specifically designed for the MDD is BTO (build-to-order) ATI Radeon 9700. It wasn't available for long as an option, is rare, and is pretty price.
*2. OEM Apple cards that can be modified to work*
These are typically 8x AGP cards for the G5 that can be modified fairly easily (if you don't need to drive an ADC monitor) to work in the MDD. The cards I've seen people try this with are the ATI 96x0 OEM Apple cards: 9600 Pro, 9600 XT. I think the 9650 may work as well, but I haven't read anything.
The modification to work (without ADC power) can be done easily with tape. See here. The ADC port works (provide video signal) with DVI and VGA monitors (with the appropriate inpensive adapters). It's just that to use the ADC port with an ADC monitor (to supply) power the modification is more involved -- see the above linked page.
For awhile OWC sold the 9600 Pro pre-modified. That used to be the cheapest route to Core Image with an OEM Apple card. I use an 9600 Pro, but didn't get it from OWC.
You can at times find these OEM 96x0 on eBAY both modified and unmodified for an MDD. If you want an OEM card make sure it's OEM -- they have DVI plus ADC, with the ADC being the dead-giveaway.
*3. Flashed/modified PC cards*
Some people do this themselves, some people do it and sell them eBay. Some sellers are better than others, some cards are better than others. Some modify the cards with bigger ROM chips because the Apple ROM are typically bigger than the typical PC cards. If they don't swap the chip, they may be using a hacked smaller ROM.
For Cubes, this route sometimes is the easiest, and coolest way to go.

Core Image Cards for Powermac G4 Dual MDD FW800

Hello there Gentlemen, currently running my Dual G4 with a ATI Pro Radeon 9000. This card does NOT Support Core Image. i need however ADC for
my flat panel from Apple 20". So what are my choices to get a card
that does core image and will drive my Cinema display?
cheers
sir double null

Hey null,
looks like we have close to the same machine. I have the 9000 card in my machine also and recently purchased the ATI 9800 which is supposed to be a great card. Unfortunately, it isn't working for me yet. I don't know if the problem is just my computer or something else. I have an open thread just two below yours:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=264933&tstart=0
Here's the link for graphics cards that support core image..
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301347
I don't see the 9800 listed in this list? But I could have sworn it was on the list a couple months ago, at least the 9800 was in order to run Motion. It's so completely frustrating.
Post back if you get a video card working and what it is.

Core image and acd compatible cards for cube

I recently bought a second hand G4 Cube online and I am going to update it to Tiger. Now I haven't received the cube yet, but I was thinking along with the OS update, to change the graphics card too with something better. The cube has the Apple Cinema Display along and Tiger have core image. I can find a list with the core image compatible cards on this site, but I cannot find anywhere a list with all the cards that support both acd and core image and are agp x2 compatible. Any info would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Christos

For a Cube, I think there is only one possibility for both ADC and Core Image.
The Radeon 9700 which shipped with G4 MDDs.
Here is one, priced insanely...
Link
From the picture, it looks like this particular one is 4x/8x AGP only (the AGP connector is shown with only one notch instead of 2).
One other possibility would be to use a compatible Radeon 9800 or Geforce 6200 and an (expensive) ADC adapter like this one.

What is a "Core Image-capable video card" ?

Roxio Toast 10 Titanium Pro recommends in its System requirements that a core image-capable video card be used. I don’t know what this means, nor do I know whether my iMac has this video card.
I checked the System Profiler for my aging 2005 iMacG5 PPC and under Hardware / Graphics/Displays, my iMac has an ATI Radeon X600 XT. Under the Displays description, there is a “Core Image: Hardware Accelerated” feature. I don’t know how important the recommended video card is, nor whether my existing card would meet Roxio’s recommended system requirements.
I picked the Final Cut Express HD Forum to post this question; if there is a better Forum, please advise.
I want to purchase this Roxio software so that I can burn Blu-Ray discs of 1080i video footage downloaded from my Canon Vixia HV30 into Final Cut Express 3.5. After video editing in FCE, I want to export into Toast 10 because iDVD will not produce hi-def DVD’s.
I’m sure there are some experts out there who know whether my video card is sufficient for what I want to do, and may have other comments/suggestions about my hardware and its ability to work with Toast 10 and meet Blu-Ray objectives.
Thanks in Advance
BoBo

Alchroma,
Thank You for responding to my question; that was a very good reference.
I think I'll be OK with my old iMacG5PPC to handle the requirements of Toast 10 BluRay.

Core Image Question New ATI 9800 in QS 2x1ghz

I just installed a Radeon 9800 Mac Edition (128MB) in my Quicksilver 2002 Dual 1ghz w/ 1.5 GB RAM running Leopard.
I downloaded and installed the latest version of ATI Displays (4.5.7).
In System Profiler, under Core Image, it says, "Hardware Accelerated" instead of "Supported" like I expected it to say.
I do have two CRT monitors connected to the card, but it says the same thing if I only have the main connected.
Profiler says this:
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro:
Chipset Model: ATY,R350
Type: Display
Bus: AGP
Slot: SLOT-1
VRAM (Total): 128 MB
Vendor: ATI (0x1002)

Resolution: 1152 x 870 @ 75 Hz
Depth: 32-bit Color
Core Image: Hardware Accelerated
Main Display: Yes
Mirror: Off

Should I be concerned about this? Is there a way to change it to "Supported"? Is there something obvious I'm missing?
Thanks!

When I installed Leopard on my Quicksilver I noticed the wording went from Supported to Hardware Accelerated for my Radeon 9600.
From what I've read about Core Image in the past, if a programmable GPU isn't available, AltiVec may be used. The following link contains some additional information:
http://arstechnica.com/reviews/os/macosx-10-4.ars/15
I'm wondering if the wording has been changed to reflect whether it's performed by the GPU or not. It would be interesting to see what's shown for graphics cards that don't support Core Image.

Can the imac core duo support dual band wifi?

I have a core duo 2GHz iMac intel. Can the imac core duo support dual band wifi?

Do you mean will your iMac work with a router that supports dual band? If this is correct, the answer is yes. If that isn't what you intended please look at the system specification for your machine. You can find that by clicking Support - Tech Specs

GeForce 8800 Core Image issues finally worked out?

Getting ready to order a new Mac Pro, and deciding between the Radeon 2600 and GeForce 8800 I have been reading that for games the 8800 is smoking fast - but for normal work in Aperture/etc it's actuall slower than the Radeon. Also saw some people reporting issues playing back HD video on the 8800...
Have these issues finally been worked out? Is the 8800 working well for HD video, moving windows around without stuttering, core image, etc...??
Thanks in advance for the replies...

I'm quite sure the 8800 will do well as a gaming card under windows. But if you use the computer mainly for CS3, Aperture etc, then I think you should go for the cheaper 2600 and then upgrade.
Barefeats has recently tested the ATi 4870x2 and the GTS280 under Vista and the former is significantly stronger. http://www.barefeats.com/harper19.html.
Note that in that article it is said that ATi "has optimized their Mac Edition drivers and firmware for the Radeon 2600 XT and 3870 so that they run Core Image effects much faster than comparable nVidia cards including the GeForce 8800 GT and Quadro FX 5600." This was news to me but perhaps it answers your question in part at least.
I have not seen any solutions for the HD video playback issue. I'm using the 8800 but don't do HD so I have no personal experience of that.
Btw note Barefeats finding that a 2,8 Mac Pro is as strong as a 3,2 Mac Pro for graphics work.

Is there a way to fix this? Please tell there's a way. I wanna see all those nice transition effects when using VirtueDesktops or Desktop Manager
Thanks!

Hi Leek Mibles;
May I welcome you to the Apple Discussion Forums.
The reason your system is telling you it can do Core Image is because it doesn't have the hardware to support it. Since your system is a PowerBook, you are unable to upgade the graphic card because it is soldered in. So I am sorry to say that the only way for you to get Core Image is to upgrade your whole system.

Core Image Question

In System Profiler, it says Core Image: Hardware Accelerated.
Could someone enlighten me as to the difference between "Hardware Accelerated" and "Supported"?

UMRebel,
"Supported" means that the graphics card (or chip) is able to display images generated via Core Image. "Hardware Accelerated" means that the card is able to actually execute the Core Image instructions, taking that much load off the CPU.

ATI Radeon 9600 Pro 256MB 8x Dual (DVI/DVI) (AGP) Video Card for PC/Mac

We want to be able to use our 30" cinema display from the G4 and was advised in a previous discussion to buy the ATI Radeon 9600 Pro 256MB 8x Dual (DVI/DVI) (AGP) Video Card for PC/Mac. It doesn't seem to be available anywhere. Does anybody know of an alternate video card that's currently available that will get us there? (We had the display running from a G5 that quit / logic board failure).
Many thanks,
Philip

The Nvidia 7800GS is a flashed card, runs a 30" with ease.
BruinMacs on Ebay is a great place to get one, you support the guy who wrote the original ROM for these.
He doesn't seem to have any for sale right now, but if you email him, maybe he will list one.
There are also flashed X800s that work on your MDD and can run a 30". They are pricey but will offer dual DVI while the 7800GS is single DVI with VGA for second display.
There are also flashed 6600GT AGP cards which will work, but harder to find.
Any of the above 3 will run circles around a 9600.
