Geforce video card

hello, i just bought a geforce fx 5500 pci card and i need a driver for the mac platform, where can i find one?

For what OS?
For Mac OS X, if it is not included with Mac OS X, it is probably not available. You could check the manufacturer's web site to be sure.
For Mac OS 9, it may be available separately from the manufacturer's web site:
http://www.nvidia.com/page/home.html
This card does not sound familiar to me, but I am no expert on this subject. Are you certain that this card is useable on a Mac? The first nVIDIA Card I saw was the GeoForce2 MX. That is an AGP-slot card, and cannot be used in a Blue and White G3, which has only PCI slots.
edit: I think Langdon has it right. His post was not there when I started my response.

  • Video capture driver for MSI GeForce 2 Pro video card

    Hi,
     I am in need of the nVidia WDM video capture driver for my Geforce 2 Pro video card. Model #M-8831. I was able to download it from the MSI/TW website over a year ago just fine. My computer crashed from a game bug a couple of months ago and MSI/TW does not list the capture driver I need any longer. I did email the company asking for help with no response back yet (after 2 weeks). You people may be my last hope.
     I do have the cd that came with the video card, but I've never been able to install the capture driver from it. There is a button to install it, but it never gets loaded. I've tried browsing the cd and also tried installing it using the windows wizards with zero results. My only successful install was from the MSI home website.
     If you need more information, please let me know.
     Thank you,
     Bruce ?(

  • Problems with FCP and Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT video card

    Not sure if this should be in the MacBook Pro forum or this one...
    I am having trouble with the GeForce 8600M GT video card while editing in final cut pro (and after effects). I have talked with numerous people at applecare, but they say that they are unaware of issues regarding the video card.
    The problem: It's almost like the card is unable to keep up with professional video applications. Whenever there is movement in the video I'm editing, I get lines across the screen. Not sure to how better to explain it than to say it looks like the video card is having a tough time refreshing. (I can take the same video to a much older power book, and it plays perfectly, so its not the source file.)
    At first I thought it was an FCP issue, but I just started using after effects, and I'm having the same problem in there. If I edit in after effects, when I play it back (in after effects), I get the lines. I can then export the project to a quicktime file. The quicktime file plays perfectly (no lines) when not involved with a professional application. Then if I import the same quicktime file into FCP and play it back in FCP, the lines happen again.
    Is anyone esle having this problem? Any thoughts? Any solutions?
    Thanks!

    I had searched the macbook pro forum, but not this one. It seems that the "screen tearing" issue has been talked about a lot, so I apologize for the repetitive nature of the post. I will say that I am fairly shocked that given how many people have clearly called applecare, no one there seems to have a clue that there is a problem with this video card. I have talked with at least 4 different people in the FCP specialty group, and not one had any clue what I was talking about... 3 of the 4 were fairly insistent that it was a video source issue on my side.

  • Video Card Dead Geforce 4 ti 4600

    My Video card died the other night and i was wondering if warrenty will still be valid. i was in the middle of playing return to castle wolfenstein when the computer froze so i had to turn it off. when i tured it on i got nothing but a blank screen. now i have another video card in the computer and it works fine. i took the dead one and put it in another computer with the same result i get a blank screen. now my question about warrenty is i had taken off the heatsink and put new heatsink compound between the chip and heatsink and it was done very professional. i put artic silver 3 between and none of it is near the end of the chip it's all on the metal part of the graphics chip. now when i montored it the temp was lower then before. that was a long time ago. i did that 2 days after  i bought it. now i have been using it for about 5 months. and all of a sudden it died. will i still have warrenty on it. i also have another question if i don't have warrenty can i send it in for repairs because this card cost me $550 dollers when i bought it, and whatever it costs to repair it should cost less then buying one brand new one. if you have any information that could help me on this please e-mail at unknown1337@hotmail and type Dead Geforce as the subject. thankyou in advance

    when i try to fill out the rma form in pdf format all the text I write onto it is not saved, i sent the rma department an email with all the required information but not the form, and haven't heard back from that yet.   It has been about 2 days.   Is that a bad sign?  How long does it usually take to get an rma number?

  • DVI to Component video w/ MacBook Pro and NVIDIA GeForce 8600M card...

    I just got a new MacBook Pro with the NVIDIA GeForce 8600M video card. On the NVIDIA website for the card, it states:
    "Integrated HDTV encoder provides analog TV-output (Component/Composite/S-Video) up to 1080i/1080p resolution".
    I have a Sony HDTV that only has component video (Y Pr Pb) inputs (the red/green/blue inputs). It is capable of HD up to 1080i.
    If the NVIDIA card does output an analog TV (Component) signal, it should work. However, when I went to the place that sells the DVI-to-Component adapter, I got some bad news:
    See it here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000E8V0YI/ref=pdluc_sbs_0202
    I wrote a question to the Sewell folks about this product and asked this:
    Will this work with the dual link DVI-I port on my macbook pro? Graphics card info: Nvidia 8600 GT 256MB of GDDR3 memory Here is the link to the card's site: http://www.nvidia.com/object/geforce_8600.html
    They answered:
    Unfortunately this will not work. While the GPU may support the function, the Mac Version of the cards do not implement the component signal.
    I think they are still thinking about the older MacBooks that use the ATI chipset and don't know about the new NVIDIA cards.
    Is component really not implemented in the new MacBook Pros?
    I have the 17" model that has more VRAM than the 15" and I got the HD screen upgrade.
    Does anyone know any solution that will work with the MacBook Pro with the NVIDIA chipset? As I said, I'm trying to output an HD signal from the DVI port on the MacBook Pro to component video input on my HD television.
    Thanks for the help.

    Sorry, the website for the Sewell adapter is here:

  • NVIDIA GeForce GT650M video card and CS6 Premier Pro

    How can I get CS6 Premier Pro to recognize my video card; NVIDIA GeForce GT650M? Or can it be used at all with CS6 Premier Pro?

    Yes, your NVIDIA GeForce GT650M should be suported.
    features added or changed in this update
    Windows 8 certification
    updates for HiDPI display, which improves appearance on computers that use Retina Display, such as MacBook Pro computers
    added GPUs to the list of those that Premiere Pro CS6 will use for GPU processing: GT 650M (which is in the newer MacBook Pro computers) and GTX 680Note: Premiere Pro can use either OpenCL or CUDA for GPU processing on the GT 650M. The default is to use OpenCL. You can change this in the General project settings.For details of GPU acceleration in Premiere Pro, see this page. For details of OpenCL features in Premiere Pro CS6, see this page.

    Here you could activate your Graphic Card and enable the Mercury Playback Engine and GPU acceleration to take full advantage of the CUDA or OpenCL technology.

  • Is CS4 compatible with Dell Computers and GeForce Go 7400 video cards?

    I have been told by this forum I needed to uninstall and re-install CS4 because Encore and the Media Encoder do not work even after the fixes and updates. I have two Dell computers with Nvidia video cards. Someone told me CS4 and Encore will not work with the GeForce Go 7400 and will not install correctly.  Is this true? Is there a site I can go to to see what cards are compatible?

  • P6-2133W not recognizing EVGA GeForce GTX 750ti video card

    Hello,
    I currently have a stock HP P6-2133W desktop, and I wanted to update the graphics.   I purchased an EVGA GeForce GTX 750ti video card ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487025 ), but I could never get video to display through the card.
    I disabled the onboard video through Windows Device Manager,but I couldn't find any setting in BIOS to explicitly use PCIE instead of the integrated video, and EVGA's driver installation utility reports that it could not detect a compatible device.   The fan on the card spins, so it seems to be properly installed, and I tried re-seating it into the PCIE slot several times over the course of my troubleshooting.
    Through all of my digging around online, I found a few mentions of UEFI BIOS.   Unfortunately, I'm at work, so my computer is not handy at the moment, but  I do remember that my motherboard was AAHD3-HB, and I had v. 7.16 of its BIOS (AMI, I think?), and the HP utilities did not indicate that there were any sort of updates available.
    I'm not very familiar with UEFI, so, I guess my main questions are: is my BIOS incompatible with this particular video card?  If so, is there a way to install a UEFI BIOS on my motherboard that would support this card? 
    I liked the idea of the 750TI, because it seemed to offer pretty decent performance without requiring a new Power Supply, so if this card is simply incompatible with my computer, then do you know of a comparable card that would work for my computer?
    I appreciate any and all help with this.

    Hello @BCAstronaut,
    I understand that you are having issues getting your HP Pavilion p6-2133w Desktop PC to recognise your new EVGA GeForce GTX 750 Ti Graphics Card. I believe the reason you are experiencing this issue is the the break in the downward compatibility on the PCIe slots was broken at around the Gen 2.1 mark and you are trying to put a Gen 3.0 card in a Gen 1.0 slot. This in essence makes your computer incompatible with the graphics card you have chosen to use.  I am providing you an article on the overclock.net website titled The final answer to the controversial PCIe x16 version compatibility., where the author explains what I described and goes into how he made the determination. I would advise you review the article if you have any questions concerning the issue you are facing.
    I hope I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • Z77A-GD65 issues with Geforce GTX 780 Video Card

    Hey Guys,
    I have a issue with a new PC build.
    I think it may be a driver or BIOS setting issue, I hope
    I bought a MSI Z77A-GD65 motherboard and below are the specs:
    - Intel Core i7-2600 CPU 3.4 Ghz
    - BIOS Version E4451IMS V10.8
    - Balistix Sport 8GB sticks (Total of 24 GB memory installed)
    - Kentek 875w power supply
    - Geforce GTX 780 Graphics Card
    My problem is with the Geforce GTX 780 video card, I installed a fresh install of Windows 7 64 bit and
    everything runs and works fine,but when i install the Geforce GTX 780 video card and install the
    drivers its all good up to this point but when i restart the computer i get this message in the device
    manager ""Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems (code 43)"
    I have installed different versions of the driver, a few older and few newer versions with the same
    outcome.
    I tried to flash the BIOS to the latest version 10.11 but had problems with it picking up my harddrive
    after it flashed successfully. I even checked the boot up setting and it all looked good just would not
    boot up, so i had to revert back to the v10.8 BIOS version for it to work.
    I'm not sure if there is a setting in the BIOS that i need to turn on or off. I'm not familar with this BIOS,
    is there a place in it so i can see if the BIOS is picking up the video card, it has to or Windows would
    not see it right?
    I'm stumped here, do you guys know of a Geforce driver version that works well with this video card?
    I truely think the card is fine because when i install the card to the motherboard i dont get any weird
    issues until the driver is installed and Windows is restarted.
    I would greatly appreciate any help and advise that you guys can give me.
    Thanks alot

    UPDATE 
    Well i wanted to post an update on my new build issue.
    Here are my specs:
    I bought a MSI Z77A-GD65 motherboard with BIOS v10.8
    - Intel Core i7-2600 CPU 3.4 Ghz
    - BIOS Version E4451IMS V10.8 (i had a issue with the newest BIOS flash v10.11 it wouldn't detect the harddrive, could figure that one out so i went back to v10.8)
    - Balistix Sport 8GB sticks (Total of 32 GB memory installed) I first had 3 sticks so i got another 8GB stick to fill all 4 banks for total of 32 GB
    - Corsair Professional Series 860 Watt Digital ATX/EPS Modular 80 PLUS Platinum Power Supply AX860i (Bought this PS to replace the Kentek PS)
    - N780 TF 3GD5/OC (GeForce GTX 780 GAMING) (traded Geforce GTX 780 card for the MSI version of the GTX 780 card)
    OK... I got the new Corsair 860w power supply installed and i installed the new MSI GTX 780 video card with the specs above everything installed fine no problems and my son was playing the Bio Shock Infinite game on Steam and about 1 hour into the game he got a blue screen of death, says something like "to prevent damage windows is now resetting" and it turns off so fast can't read the rest of the message.
    I'm going to here in a little bit and update all device drivers with MSI Live update utility and also update the motherboard BIOS again to v10.11.
    I'm really confused here, I'm also going to take out some memory and try to run it with sticks only in slot 2 & 4 to see if it runs more stable like that, also should i update the video card to the latest driver, i know the latest is not always the greatest driver.
    I want to think you guys again for your help & time with this issue. I really dont know what else to do here, everything is new in this PC.
    Thanks

  • Upgraded to GeForce GTX TITAN Black video card. Everything is too small to read.

    Upgraded to GeForce GTX TITAN Black video card and a Samsung 4K monitor, recently. Now, everything in Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 is too small to read. What can I do to make it readable?

    UI scaling for larger displays was just added in the latest CC update, so I don't think there's much you'd be able to do on Premiere's end in CS6. If you're in Windows, you could use the universal scaling in the display control panel, but things might get chunky pretty fast with that.

  • What video card do I need to make Photoshop CC 2014 to use 3D? I have NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4096 MB graphics.

    What video card do I need to make Photoshop CC 2014 to use 3D? I have NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4096 MB graphics.

    A couple of questions:
    1.  Have you tried resetting your preferences?
    2.  If you go to Preferences > Performance - is "Use Graphics Processor" enabled?  If not, can you select it?
    Your system should be fine to support 3D in PS CC 2014.  Once I have more information from you we can move onto next steps if necessary.
    Thanks,

  • 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.

  • Does GeForce 7350LE video card fan run all the time or at certain temperatures?

    I have a HP Pavilion m8147c  Media Center with AMD Atlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5600+ 2.80 GHz  3GB Ram and when running lately the monitor has started to go into sleep mode or something.Sometimes there is a warning that says something like no signal from DVI and one more but doesn't stay on long enough to read it all.I am running Vista Home Premium 32 bit.I had just installed a new game but pretty sure that has nothing to do with it as I used System Restore and backed up to a time before it was installed.At first it was only when playing games but now it happens with hardly anything running.This pc was bought in july 2007 and I have another desktop but I let my wife use one and I use the other.I opened the case and cleaned out all the dust but noticed when I started it up again the fan is not running on the video card.I don't know if it comes on at certain temps or runs all the time but I feel this is the problem.It has been on for about an hour and not come on at all.Any information will be appreciated.

    Hello captna, Usually when you purchase a new video card or other hardware device, the drivers that are included on the CD are an older version, sometimes as much as six months old. The chipset on any Brand of a given model would be either an Nvidia or an AMD ATI.
    The chipset is the main component of the video card that controls most of the operations of the video card.
    Since all the manufacturers of the Nvidia video cards use the chipset purchased from Nvidia, they are all the same chipset for any particular model. The different manufacturers can and do add or enable features for their particular cards, but the chipset is still the same.
    Since the drivers from the manufacturer would be an older version, and Nvidia releases new versions quite often, it would be best to use the Nvidia drivers, since they would have updated fixes and sometimes features, and added support for some newer cards.
    Your reference to the Memory Interface on both cards is 64 bit, has nothing to do with your version of the operating system. It just relates to the way, and speed of the interaction of the video card with the system (buss).
    The higher the number of the Memory Interface, the more data that can be moved in and out of the video card, which results in a faster video performance. This just becomes important when playing games for the most part.
    Using the system just for web surfing, emailing and some light gaming, would not have that much effect on the system.
    More important to the system would be the amount of video card onboard memory. The Gigabyte has 1 GB of onboard memory compared to your original video card with 128 MBs of memory. This additional memory would likely show a slight performance increase in any light gaming.
    You want see much, if any difference in the performance of your system, with the exception of perhaps the light gaming performance increase, with the new Gigabyte video card over the  GeForce 7350LE. You should not  experience the heat related issue as you had with the faulty fan on the  GeForce 7350LE.
    You can go into your personal settings on the Forum and select to not receive the email notices when someone responds to one of your post. Several years ago while on the Dell Community Forum, I would receive over a hundred emails every day until I disabled this feature.

  • No sound after installing geforce 210 video card in hp pavilion a1430n

    I've seen the advice about changing bios sound device setting from auto to enabled, but there is no sound device choice in the bios of this model.
    Control panel>sounds shows "no audio device installed"
    I installed this new geforce 210 video card (in addition to existing GeForce 6200) in order to support 3 monitors. I previously had a Geforce 5200 FX installed for this purpose, but it died. The new 210 has HDMI output. Some of the responses in this forum credit this as part of the problem.
    I only need audio out of the headphones on the computer - not using any external audio like speakers, monitors, etc.
    IN device manager, under sound, video and game controllers there is a long list

    Legacy Audio Drivers
    Legacy Video Capture devices
    Media control devices

    Hi,
    Installing a new video card can disable the on-board sound chip so check the following.
    Shut down the PC. Tap away at f10 as soon as you press the power button to access the Bios Menu - the option you want is most likely under the Advanced Tab.  Look for an entry titiled 'Onboard Audio'.  If it shows as Disabled, navigate to it using the arrow keys, hit enter, use the arrow keys to select 'Enabled' and hit enter again.  Press f10, select 'Yes' or 'Ok' and hit enter to save the change.
