Finally a graphics card for Apple Laptop's Nvidia 7950 mobile released.

7950 = apparently dual ( 7800 gtx 256bit 256mb+ / g70/1 / 35gb/s / 800m )
Now Apple has no more excuses to delay building the first Apple Intel Laptop " NOT Apple ATI X1600 PDA ".
http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2006/10/12/nvidiageforce_go7950/

Sorry to have fried your nerf's but I do love Apple and would gladly purchase another Apple if they give me something to buy and not provide weaker machines then 2 year old Dell Laptops.
I would have bought the Mac pro desktop until I found out it only has 2 x dual cores "4 cpu's" . LOL who would pay for that LOL
I wanted / expected and informed all my friends about it having 2x quad core xeon's ie: 8 cpu's until they called back and laughed at me
Well my 2 year old Dell E1705 Zippo has a 7800 gtx 256bit 256mb ram running at 800m thingy's / 35gb/s at normal settings.
The 7800 gtx comes from a 9300 celeron m Dell laptop model that was prior to the 9400 celeron m that was prior to the e1705 core duo.
I payed $1500 way back when I purchased it and added 2gb 667 ddr2 + 7200rpm 100gb hd 2.5". Not $2500 for a $900 dell clone. "Ebay" I do not pay for half a broken cup of coffee, I want the real deal not some ripp-off.
Now if Apple expects me to buy again from them they will have to provide a Apple laptop that comply's with my orriginal reason for switching to Apple = Power / Performance / Design / Craftsmanship and extremely high prices in relation to the other junk out there for sale "NON Apple Stuff / alternatives"
So when they think of returning to APPLE and stay away from the Dell clones that they are trying to produce now $900.00 stuff "Mac Book Pro actual value , then I will gladly pay $2500 - $3000 for a laptop that will in any case be plugged in to AC 96% of the time ie: battery = backup power.
Surely they will then have to provide power / performance / design / craftsmanship and a non mobile phone graphics card ie: 7950 or at least the 8800 g80 that will be released in november 2006
http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2006/10/02/nvidiag80_to_shipnovember/
SO why get so upset it is a good product for children and teachers "Mac Book Pro" but for the idiots like me and NASA and any other normal person over the age of 10 we need power and don't mind paying for it.
Or we would have bought the MacBook to play with.
Surely the 110v/220v light bulb that light the room you are in will not be satisfied with 2 AA 2x1.5v battery's to power it as it will not be able to do it's job ??????

Hi,
What is your G6 ? G6 is a series of many models/laptops and normally we can't upgrade video card on 99.5% of them. Not just G6 series, other laptops from HP and other vendors as well. We can only upgrade video card on some REAL games and work station class machines.

Do I need a dedicated graphics card for my laptop if I mainly use Photoshop CS6 to paint?

I'm looking to buy a laptop and having a dedicated graphics card is obviously more expensive, but is it necessary for painting on Photoshop CS6 without lagging? I use a lot of layers, adjustments, masks, and large brushes, but that's mostly it, also I don't spam the undo button.

LOL, those are very compute-intensive operations. That's basically saying "I need the most powerful computer I can find" to run Photoshop.
It's hard to generalize an answer to your specific question, because not all GPUs or systems are created equal. If I had to generalize, I'd say you should try to avoid DUAL GPU systems, in which an Intel and some other brand are combined to try to deliver power saving and high performance capabilities. Photoshop traditionally doesn't really like that kind of arrangement, and forum members often advise folks with dual GPU systems who are experiencing problems to just disable one of them (usually the lesser one) anyway.
Keep in mind that a laptop isn't going to be able to achieve as good performance as a desktop for a resource hungry application like Photoshop, yet will be more expensive. You really will want a high-end machine (possibly even mobile workstation class) to paint in the manner you describe.
I invite others who use modern laptops to chime in here and relate their actual experiences, as well as provide information on their specific configurations.

Windows Graphics Card for Apple Display (23")

I gave my wife my 23" Cinema Display when I bought my 30". She is using an Alienware that is about 2 years old. The computer works fine except that the monitor must be unplugged when she starts it up or it will not boot. She will normally unplug the monitor, hit the power button, and wait for the mouse to light up before plugging the monitor in. She is becoming quite frustrated.
Anyone know a trick to get it fixed and it not, do you know how to be sure we wont have the same probably if we get a new graphics card? I'm assuming hers does not support DDC but when I look on Nvidia's website, they don't really say any of their cards do. She is happy with the card she has except for this issue so I would hate to buy a new one if we don't have to.
Thanks,

A search of this forum (or of the web) should return many hits for posts regarding which peecee video cards are compatible with the Apple displays. As you have discovered, not all are. And not all "compatible" cards give the same results. For example, some will display the windoze boot screens and some will not.

NVIDIA Quadro FX3800M Graphics Card for PC Laptop

I am looking to buy a new laptop PC.
Does the NVIDIA Quadro FX3800M graphics card work with the Mercury Playback engine.

I can tell you first hand that it works on my laptop with the "soft-hack". I am using a Sager custom build with 3 internal drives and an eSata external drive for my media.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. My response may be a bit slow as I am on assignment in Afghanistan.

Graphics Card for hp dv7 6135dx

Hi i just would really like to know if there is any way to upgrade my graphic card for my laptop?

Hi:
Yes, you can upgrade the video card from your existing one, to any of those listed in chapter 3 of the service manual at the link below, starting on page 26.
In order to upgrade the video on your notebook however, the entire motherboard needs to be replaced.
The costs attendant to doing such an upgrade would exceed the cost of buying a new notebook with the graphics solution you want, after selling or trading yours in.

Which New Graphic Card For 2008 Mac Pro?

I'm going to buy Final Cut X, so I'll need a new graphic card for my 2008 MacPro. My current card is an ATI Radeon HD 2600.
I asked AppleCare and they sent me a link to a lot of compatible cards (copied below).
But it turns out that most of these cards need Windows - at least according to specs - and the rest don't have the (2) DVI-D connections I need - so which card should I buy?
The card has to work with my 2 Acer P243W 24" screens at 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz.
Here's Apple's list:
•    NVIDIA
o    GeForce 320M
o    GeForce GT 330M
o    GeForce 9400M
o    GeForce 9600M GT
o    GeForce 8600M GT Note: OpenCL compatible, but does not meet system requirements for Final Cut Pro X, Motion 5 and Compressor.
o    GeForce GT 120
o    GeForce GT 130
o    GeForce GTX 285
o    GeForce 8800 GT
o    GeForce 8800 GS
o    Quadro FX 4800
o    Quadro FX5600
•    ATI
o    Radeon HD 4670
o    Radeon HD 4850
o    Radeon HD 4870
o    Radeon HD 5670
o    Radeon HD 5750
o    Radeon HD 5770

Once you look at what is sold, limits the list. None of those listed require Windows though. What specs? I don't see any specs. And of course nothing listed are Windows, that would be strange. Why you pasted notebook and iMac graphic adapters... unless Apple is selling FCPX for Windows.
Forget the GT120 though some use it with FCPX and are okay with it, save a little though I think 5770 has more processing, bandwidth and of course 1GB DDR5.
support for 6870 PC card is looking like a possible option now, too.
It is more mainly just 5770 vs 5870. Or Quadro 4000.
Amazon has PNY Mac Pro edition $790 vs Apple's $1195 for same card
PNY Quadro 4000 2 GB DDR5 Mac Pro
When FCX came out we had a couple threads on same topic.
Apple Graphics Cards
OSX and Graphics Cards
Radeon 6870 3DMark 30% gain on 5870
Flashed PC Radeon HD5870 Mac Pro 2008
Flashed PC Radeon HD5870 Mac Pro 2008 - dual DVI works
I include the above for same reason why when the 4870 came out, PC card was 1/2 price and $450 for 5870? really? when XFX and Saffire are under $199.
Radeon 5870 vs 5770 GTX 285 4870

Best graphics card for uncompressed HD?

I am going to buy a new 8 core mac pro (yay!), but am wondering which graphics card to go for.
I want to edit uncompressed HD in Final Cut Studio, and use After Effects, but am unsure which of the current Apple Store cards to go for.
I CANT afford the NVIDIA quatro FX

Uh...graphics cards for uncompressed HD? To WORK with the footage or CAPTURE and OUTPUT the footage? There are two different things. The graphics card will increase Motion performance, and FCP performance with certain plugins, but as for dealing with the uncompressed footage itself, the GRAPHICS card really does nothing. CAPTURE CARDS are what you need. And the top of the line best one is the AJA Kona 3. The Black Magic Eclipse is a great second...

What's the best graphic card for FCP X and a Mac Pro (early) 2008?

I have a Radeon HD 3870 in my Mac Pro, it seems that I cannot use this configuration with Final Cut Pro X. Then what's the best graphic card for FCP X usable in a Mac Pro (early) 2008?
Thx,
Phil

You can get a 5770 radeon ATI MAC card
Avoid the 5770 cards on ebay and Amazon - many are black market or manipulated cards.
Buy it from Apple online store or B&H photo or Macconection
And in my case, I was able to sell my old 2600 XT card on ebay for $65 and put that money toward a 5770 card (Which was about $230 minus the $65)
I installed the 5770 in my early Mac Pro 2 x 2.8 and it works great

I need an "Open CL compatible graphics card for an early 2008 Mac Pro with 1 gig of V-Ram", any recommendations? Thanks.

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?

I am thinking about upgrading the stock ATI Radeon 2600 graphics card for better resolution, preferring 2 dvi outputs or 1 dvi and 1 vga vs 1 dvi and a mini. I don't do a lot of Final Cut Pro, gaming, etc. I am interested in best value for the graphics card.
Does anyone have any suggestions on the best graphics card for these larger displays for the best value?
Thanks,

I recommend you install nothing older than the Apple-firware 5770, about US$250.
RE: Mac Pro Replacement Graphics cards
1) Apple brand cards,
2) "sold in the Apple store" cards, and
3) "Mac Edition" cards ...
... show all the screens, including Boot up screens, Safe Mode, Installer, Recovery, debug screens, and Alt/Option boot screens. At this writing, these choices include:
1) Apple brand cards:
• Apple-firmware 5770, about US$250** works near full speed in every model Mac Pro, Drivers in 10.6.5
• Apple-firmware 5870, about US$450
2) "sold in the Apple store" cards
• NVIDIA Quadro 4000, about US$1200
• NVIDIA Quadro 5000, about US$2500
3) "Mac Edition" cards -- REQUIRE 10.8.3 or later:
• SAPPHIRE HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 MAC Edition, about US$480** Vendor recommends Mac Pro 4,1
• EVGA GTX 680 Mac Edition, about US$600
The cards above require no more than the provided two 6-pin aux power connectors provided in the Mac Pro through 2012 model. Aux cables may not be provided for third-party cards, but are readily available.
If you are Meet ALL of these:
• running 10.8.3 or later AND
• don't care about "no boot screens" etc AND
• can re-wire or otherwise "work out" the power cabling, THEN:
You can use many more cards, even most "PC-only cards"

Can I upgrade my (Graphics Card) on my laptop?

Hello can my (Graphics Card) on my laptop be upgraded
this is mine http://gyazo.com/e10f4147557ec792856f20c0e215e553

Hi:
There are no graphics 'cards' in your notebook. The graphics is part of the motherboard and cannot be upgraded or replaced without replacing the entire motherboard with a supported one listed in the service manual for your model--assuming one has better graphics.
Replacing the motherboard would cost you about as much as buying a new notebook with better graphics.

Can I upgrade graphics card of my Laptop?

Hi folks,
I want to know whether I can upgrade graphics card of my laptop.
Now a days most of the high end games are not
working in my laptop and I'm pretty disappointed.
Please let me know whether I can do that. My laptop model is
HP Pavillion DV5 1106AX.
This question was solved.

Hi:
Unfortunately in most of today's notebooks (including yours), the graphics cannot be upgraded.
I looked at the service manual for your notebook, and there aren't even any other motherboards with better graphics available.
You can try the latest drivers from AMD to see if that helps, any but you can't do anything with the hardware.

PCMCIA firewire card for G4 laptop (follow-up to excessive timecode breaks)

1.) It was recommended that I get a new firewire bus to resolve excessive timecode breaks when importing from a Canon camcorder to an external hard drive. I've been reading through posts on this topic...and saw getting a new firewire port mentioned a few times... How come when I called Apple to check on the cost of a new firewire card for my laptop Powerbook G4, I was told that nothing could be added without replacing the entire logic board? Am I missing something? I didn't say "PCMCIA firewire drive" - is that something special? Any idea of the cost to purchase and install?
2.) Apple recommended just capturing to my internal hard drive, and transfering the projects. Apart from this being cumbersome... I need a little verification: if I transfer PROJECT X to my external hard drive, then do I also need to transfer my Audio Render, Autosave,Capture Scratch, Render, Thumbnail, and Waveform folders? [I realize this is basic, but I'm wary of losing the information the project needs and getting it all messed up]

pcmcia is an card slot. If you have a 12" PB you may not have one.
If you have a pcmcia slot, buy the card. Slide the card into your computer and start up. Put the camcorder on the card and your fw drive on the port built-in to your computer. Even if this does not solve the timecode issues, it will save you other headaches in the future.
Question. Does capturing to your internal drive solve the timecode issues you are having?
I disagree with the advice of capturing to your internal drive and transfering the project after the fact. There are a bunch of reasons why, and all of them are qualified, so I hesitate to go further until I know whether or not capturing to the internal drive is making your timecode headaches go away.
I suspect capturing to the internal drive will not help the timecode issues which will make the whole point moot. But hopefully I'm wrong :>

ps
When you talk to representatives from Apple, you have to be conscious that if they are not specialists in the area you are focused on their advice may be based on general recommendations from an IT or home user perspective. There is a difference between talking to a sales person on the floor of the Apple Store and someone from the Genius Bar. And the person at the Genius Bar may have a tremendous background in network installations, but never have opened FCP. Or you might get lucky and get a FCP savvy genius, who would be a bit weak when talking about some other area.
This is not a knock, just a reality. It is difficult to be deeply conversant with even one area. It is not realistic for the generalists you usually deal with to know the best answers to very specific questions.
I'm working toward becoming a certified trainer with FCP and it is not easy or cheap to become an expert at this one application, never mind all the possible applications and hardware combinations for wildly different needs and budgets.

Finally a graphics card for Apple Laptop's Nvidia 7950 mobile released.
