Gigantic problems with graphc card GeFore 8800GT under MacPro

Hello
I'm a user of MacPro 2 Quad-Core 3GHz computer with NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT graphic card.
This is my second card like this one becouse I can't find any other with low price for exchange and for good using OpenGL.
Now I have gigantic problems with this card under Mac again, please help.
It have extreme temperatures and graphic crashes when I use on any game or anything which harder use it. At real, my older card before burn out and go to trash after this. Now it comes again
Is there any software to speedup windmill or any thing in my system what I can change for this? I have a plan to buy a cooler, but I need help in software before this.
Why good quality company like Apple use this bugged cards in expensive computers, I can't understand this.
Regards
Dawid

Nvidia had / has had / a run of problems - and Apple can choose Intel integrated, AMD.... or Nvidia basically. Though on PC side there are reference designs and then HIS (makes a really good ATI with its own design and cooper cooler), EVGA on Nvidia front.
We don't get all that many options.
Drivers always get a lot of "heat" and criticism.
Was so glad to have X1900 as a choice, but not the $399 (or wait and $250 BTO) 5 yrs ago, and its history of problems. And recalls. Or ATI 2600XT. Can't win for losing sometimes.
One reason I went and bought GTX 460 and run Windows on my Mac Pro today of all things. Other reasons too over the years. Locked into EFI graphic cards and you can have anything you want on the salad bar, as long as you want either shrimp or chicken.
So heat up the oven, get out the egg timer, and have at it!

  • Problem with RSC card on sun fire v490

    Hi all,
    I have a little problem.
    I got few v490 that were already used.
    When I connect to the management port of the RSC card I get the prompt of the RSC password, somthing i don't have.
    The OS doesn't get loaded and I can't do anything. ( if I had access to the OS I would have reseted the password)
    So now, I got left with the only option i thought of.
    1. Disconnect the RSC card,
    2. This will force the output of the consol to go to the serial port(tty).
    3. Jumpstart the machine (beacuse I don't even have the password for the machine)
    4. connect the RSC card, and reset the password.
    There is someone here that encountered this problem??
    Maybe there is a jumper that can reset the RSC password. i don't know... every response will be great!
    Thanks!!!

    I had a problem with my card reader also.
    When I run the command "groups" noticed my user wasn't in the avahi group.
    Ran :
    sudo gpasswd -a <myuser> avahi
    (substitute "<myuser>" by your user)
    Inserted the card again and.. voila, it worked!

  • Problems with Airport Card

    I move back and forth from school to home, and I've never had a problem with my card before. I recently restored my compuer back to its factory settings, and it was running great with my Airport Express. I came home after moving, and my computer won't read the WPA hooked up in my house. It says I am connected, but won't let me access the internet. I'm not sure why. We tried rebooting the connection, I've looked on my computer, used system preferences and everything. I did notice when I tried to use the Network Setup Assistant, it said the password I used to connect was wrong, but when my computer uses the airport icon at the corner of the screen, it accepts the password. Any ideas on how to fix this?
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    An additional distressing note -- I went back to aforementioned building with the 10.4.5 Powerbook last night. Did a cold boot...and the Airport Express picked up the correct network DHCP info immediately. Roamed between a couple of WAPs, surfed a couple of sites, then sat down and tried to duplicate this feat...by re-booting at least 6 more times. Nada. I once again got factory default IP addresses on each attempted reboot. I changed nothing from the network settings I'd tried last week with this machine nor were any changes made to the network or WAPs. DHCP didn't work last week on several attempts (and reboots), worked ONCE yesterday on the first boot, then nothing again on the subsequent reboots.
    Again, I'm stressing that there don't "seem" to be problems with the network or WAPs because Windows clients consistently obtain DHCP and authenticate without issue.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

  • Problem with my card ..

    hi ,
    i have a problem with my card , that i use it before and its fine but now itunes tells me  " Your payment methon was decline "
    and there is no none Option to choose  .
    i cant download anything now , cuz the store need to edit my payment first !!
    Any idea ?!

    If the reason you can't initialize your PCI-MXI-2 is because you can't find vxiinit, the good news is that you probably are initializing your PCI-MXI-2 automatically.
    The functionality of vxiinit is now performed automatically by the driver when the system starts. This has actually been true for the last few versions starting several years ago. For a while, we continued to provide a version of vxiinit that didn't actually do anything, for compatibility with installations where legacy code required the existence of vxiinit; if you think something like that would still be useful, please describe your situation so we can consider it as a use case in future versions.
    If you are seeing some other error saying that you can't initialize your PCI-MXI-2, please reply
    to this answer with further details.

  • Problem with credit card verification with firefox 4 (works with safari!)

    I recently upgraded to Firefox 4 and tried to book train tickets online. I have done this many times before with earlier Firefox versions. Now however, after being redirected to the card verification page and submitting my security details, instead of confirming my booking Virgin trains asks me to log on again! I thought it was a problem with the website but I subsequently booked the tickets using Safari so I guess that means there is a problem with Firefox 4. Can I go back to the previous version?

    I, also, have previously made credit card purchases with Firefox version 3 without any problems.
    I only encountered this problem with credit card verification after downloading Firefox 4. I was however able to book tickets successfully, the same day, using Internet Explorer and the card verification went through as normal. I am confident that the problem was due to problems with the new version of Firefox.

  • Problem with Decklink card during voice over

    Hi,
    i have PMG5 2.5 GHz with FCS & Blackmagic Decklink extreme card.
    all these days i had a great time working on FCP . till i faced a peculiar problem
    when i am capturing video from Beta or DV 50 , i am able to select video Only or Audio only , or Video & Audio .
    but when iam trying to capture Audio Only option through the the Mic which is connected to the mixer, i am not able to capture audio.
    even i have noticed one more strange thing, i have tried Voice Over tool in FCP 5.04 with Decklinik card and i am not able to grab any audio through the Decklink card.
    but i can use built in audio for my voiceover.
    has anybody come across this kind of problem,
    can somebody help me .

    Hi Rajendra,
    your questions is marked as solved, but I haven't seen your question answered, so I might be wasting time. Anyway.
    I bumped into the same problem not long ago. I'm using a Multibridge, but the problem and solution are the same. Here's the reply I got from Kristian Lam over at Blackmagic:
    In order to get vo tool in Final Cut Pro HD to work, these are the
    steps to follow:
    1) Video Input in Blackmagic DeckLink preferences is set to match the audio input type. For example, if you're recording via the XLR connectors of your card, then then 'Inputs' under 'DeckLink Video Connections' must set to analog. It doesn't matter if it's component or composite analog video.
    2) In the View menu of Final Cut Pro HD, set External Video to “Off”. When finished with the Voice Over tool, set External Video to “All Frames” to use the broadcast monitor.
    3) You must have a stable video signal going into the card when using the vo tool or Final Cut Pro HD will not see the audio. (or use a Blackburst generator)
    4) Use the Displays menu to set the DeckLink desktop to the same format as the video source, eg. NTSC 720 x 486.
    Well, then select your Decklink Card in the Voiceover Input selection. Even after I had done all that, I couldn't see any audio coming into FCP. The solution to that was to raise the Trim at the top of the mixer. I got a nice signal into the Mackie and voilà also sound into FCP.
    Hope this helps,
    Colin

  • Problem with SD card files on Lumia 1520

    Dear all, my Lumia 1520 keeps giving problems with files on SD card.
    I normally put pictures and music files on the SD card but everytime when I restart the phone, all the files on SD card disappear. According to the WP app all the files are turned into other data and I have checked that a hidden file (with no data type) could be found in the SD folder with the equivalent size of all the files I put on the SD card. 
    What can I do about it?
    Attachments:
    SD storage.PNG ‏6 KB

    I also noticed this issue with a Sony 64GB microSD card. I had some pictures/videos on this new card and suddenly all disapeared. The card space used by some files is displayed under "other" and phone message says something about the file format is unrecognizable hence it has placed them under "other" to be managed by the user via PC but I don't see "other" folder when my phone is connected to the laptop with Windows 7.
    Can someone on this forum help me?

  • Problems with graphics card with CS5

    I am working a freelace gig using a G5 computer with Lion.
    When using CS5 photoshop there seems to be a problem using
    Mode/Index/Custom when using the eyedropper to select colors.
    I use the work around "key command" which is totally anoying.
    There is also a bug with the color picker/eydropper within the documents.
    I read that this has to do with the graphics card.
    Which graphics card do I need to resolve this issue?

    There are known issues/limitations with graphics cards in earlier machines.
    Known issues | Adobe on Mac OS 10.7 Lion
    Tested video cards | Photoshop CS5 - Adobe

  • Problems with graphics card (GPU)

    I'm having problems with the graphics card (GPU) in my 2010 MB Pro leading to screen distortions.  It seems similar to the problems described here:   http://9to5mac.com/2014/10/28/apple-class-action-lawsuit-2011-macbook-pro-gpu-gr aphics-issues
    Unfortunately, my machine is not eligible under the class-action suit (and well out of warranty).   Is anyone else dealing with this and how did you fix it? 
    Thanks!

    What was updated? Care to pastebin your pacman.log so we might actually know what went wrong? Also, in the future, naming a thread "update broke <package>" is not very helpful. Something like "OpenGL-dependant programs fail to run after updating <the package you think to be most relevant>" would be much more helpful and likely garner you many more people willing and able to help.
    All the best,

  • Problem with video cards and posterization effect

    Hello everyone,
    I have problem with posterization effect in Lightroom 4.4 and 5.
    When monitor uses integrated video card (Radeon HD 4300) everything is ok. But when I plug in other video card (tested on GeForce GT630 and Radeon HD 7770) I have posterization effect in shadows in every Lightroom module. When picture is exported to jpg then everything is ok. Here is screenshot with NEF in Lightroom and jpg in IrfanView: https://www.dropbox.com/s/yftnnk6w1guii70/Lightroom_problem.png . Of course with colour images I have the same problem. Anyone have an idea what can I do? I have installed the newest drivers for video cards but it didn't help.

    For how and why this could have happened, would you mind sharing your capture and sequence settings?
    As far as applying parameters to multiple clips, I think you can make use of the Paste Attributes function in FCP...
    Alter one of your problematic clips
    Select that clip in the Timeline, then press Command-C (or control-click and choose Copy from the contextual menu)
    Select the remainder of your problematic clips
    With your clips selected press Option-V (or control-click on one of them and select Paste Attributes from the contextual menu) to bring up the Paste Attributes dialog
    Select Basic Motion - under the Video options, on your left-hand side - then click OK
    (Basic Motion because, if I understand your solution correctly, you altered the Center property - either in the Motion tab of the Viewer or manually in the Canvas - of your clips. You nudged them all up a bit, right? If you did, then that would fall under the Basic Motion attribute.)
    All your selected clips should be nudged up appropriately.
    But, again, I'm making a bit of leap since I'm not entirely sure what caused your issue in the first place.
