IMac G5 Graphic Card Replacement for blue screen problem

When I turn on iMac, I only see blue screen, the apple technician said Need to replace graphic card, Nvidia Gforce 7600GT 256.
1, can it install in IMac? Seem like it work for PC?
2, I had blue screen problem several time, I think I turn on iMac too long, so it burn out graphic card.
3, I have 2007 G5 24" screen model, is any durable and afford graphic card you recommend?
Where to buy for cheaper price?
Do I need to change mother board?
4, can I replace it by myself? Any picture or video for graphic card replacement?
Thank you.

If you look around, you might be able to find someone who will replace just the chip on the graphics card, which is what usually fails. It will take someone highly skilled; they really have to know what they're doing--it's not an ordinary soldering job.
Here's someone who found a non-Apple service to do this, and it proved to be far less expensive than a full logic board replacement. But I think this was in the UK.

What USB 3.0 card should I get for early 2009 Mac Pro so I can connect the Drobo 5D? They say get CalDigit or Sonnet. Anyone have preference or experience with reliability. Trying to find which is better.

What USB 3.0 card should I get for early 2009 Mac Pro so I can connect the Drobo 5D? They say get CalDigit or Sonnet. Anyone have preference or experience with reliability with this. I am running Lion and Trying to find which is better as I know from experience not all cards are created equal. Thanks in advance for your help!

High Point RocketU Quad USB 3.0 for Mac is working great for me. Had an issue with CD/DVD Drive which was resolved with most current driver downloaded from the support site.
Running Moutain Lion on Early 2009, mirroring two Seagate Go Flex 2TB USB 3.0 Drives. Installed in Slot 4.
Using it primarily with VMWare Fusion for Virtual Drives. Windows, Unbuntu and other OS running really well.
HPT Support was responsive and very helpfull using the WEB Portal under the product page.
I have some comments and a suggestion:
Have you tried your setup with a SD/CF combo card reader (like the Lexar or Kingston FCR-H63)? Does the card appear on the desktop when first plugged in?
Did you need to fool around with any kind of power issues in installing this card in the x4 PCIe slot of the MacPro?
Suggestion. Have you tried one of the fixed in this article to cure the BT issues in MacPro 3,1?
Good luck.

Can I use a Geforce GTX570 on Early 2009 MacPro running Mavericks

...fairly new to all this so please bear with me;
I have bought an early 2009 MacPro with a single Geforce GTX570 graphics card which is running fine on Mac OS10.7.5
I would like to start video editing and color grading using Final Cut Pro 10.1 and DaVinci Resolve lite 10.1 (and Resolve 11 when it is released in the near future)
A system requirement for Final Cut Pro 10 is OSX10.9 (Mavericks).
So, the question I am trying to answer is; can I upgrade the OS to Mavericks and will the Geforce GTX570 work with it?
I'm not sure where to start to find the answer, the NVIDIA Geforce support site wasn't very helpful and I haven't real
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks

Geforce GTX570 works well with Mavericks. Take a look at this https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4391012?start=45&tstart=0

Graphics card Mac Pro (Early 2008) What is supported

I desperatly need a new Graphics Card for my Early 2008 Mac Pro.
Bellow are the listed and supported graphics cards from apple site.
None of the cards listed for early 2008 is possible (Very hard) to get here in Norway.
I've read some treads here saying that ATI Radeon HD 5870 will work on Early 2008 Mac Pro.
- Can someone please verify that this will work?
- On the Note for early 2009 The radeon HD 5870 card requires Mac OS X v10.6.4 or later and it requires the use of both auxiliary power connections?
Both auxiliary power connections. Do Early 2008 Mac Pro have this possibility?
Graphics cards for Mac Pro (Early 2008)
ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT
NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT (part number 630-9191 or 630-9897)
NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600
ATI Radeon HD 4870, offered as an upgrade kit
Note: The Radeon HD 4870 card requires Mac OS X v10.5.7 or later for use with the Mac Pro (Early 2008).

Robban1978,
I have 27 Apple Mac Pro's (between work/office, home, and clients), and have four Apple Mac Pro's (just at home) and I have purchased the Diamond Radeon HD 7970 graphics cards (7970PE53GHZ) for each of the 27 computers and the graphics cards do work great in all of my Apple Mac Pro computers (2008, 2010, and two 2012 Apple Mac Pro).
The only problem is that I have to boot directly into Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8 to use the graphics cards because Diamond/Radeon/AMD have not released graphics drivers for the Radeon 7970 for OS X 10.8.x Mountain Lion (as of yet?)
See here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20289120
See here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20289931
See here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4391012
Hopefully AMD/Radeon/Diamond will release updated graphics drivers for OS X 10.8.x Mountain Lion, and I believe the Diamond Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition graphics card is probably the best graphics card out on the market (based on it's price/performance), the only problem/issue is there are no OS X 10.8.x Mountain Lion drivers for the Radeon HD 7970 series graphics cards yet.
Hopefully AMD/Radeon/Diamond will work on developing and releasing OS X 10.8.x Mountain Lion drivers.

Apple graphic card replacement

Hi,
I own mid 2011 iMac 3,4 i7 model with 6790 2GB graphic card which is broken.
Found Apple replacement program for those cards :
http://9to5mac.com/2013/08/16/apple-opens-graphics-card-replacement-program-for- some-mid-2011-imacs/
Can someone tell me is this program available for Europe, (Croatia or Bosnia & Herzegovina) ?
Best regards,
Dzenox

Thanks for replies,
I found almost everything what you already mention here but it will be easy if would live in US.
Europe is also not a big problem, but my country Bosnia&Herzegovina does include some other conditions due to fact that isn't listed at Apple page of countries.
We do have some resellers, but I want a clean proof so I can get some benefits from it.
Btw: it is the second time I have to change graphic card and I dont want to be charged.

IMac 2011 graphics card replacement program - service says no to me!

Hello everyone,
I have a mac with the exact specifications that are stated here in the graphics card replacement program: iMac (27-inch): AMD Radeon 6970M Video Card Replacement Program
And the exact symptoms as well. Computer was taken to a service that is approved by Apple, but as I'm in a different country, it's not an Apple store itself. After doing diagnostics for a few weeks, they told me that this does not apply to me. They that the serial number doesn't note that Apple covers anything.
I have no receipts or anything, had no Apple care either, but this is a replacement statement by Apple and even after having the serial number and seeing that it is the exact model having the exact symptoms - can they still say no to me? What should I do? There are no Apple stores like in other countries and if I took it to one of the official dealer stores, they're just gonna take the computer to the same official service provider. It is really unfair at the moment and I don't know what to do.
P.s. Should I post my serial number here so maybe someone who works in an official store could help me clear up if it really does not apply?

I had to have my graphic card replaced. I was told that I was under the 3 year from date of purchase time limit so got it for free. How long has it been since you purchased your iMac?

Graphics Card Replacement Suggestion

My current ATI Radeon HD 4350 graphics card fan is making a loud noise and I need a suggestion for a compatible graphics card replacement. I don't play video games but I do watch streaming videos from HULU, Netflix and YouTube often. I have a dual monitor setup as well.
Current PC; HP Pavilion Elite HPE-110f running Window 7.

Hi:
I would go with the Radeon HD 6450.
Get one of the fanless models listed. Then you have no fan to make noise or conk out on you (such as the ASUS or Sapphire cards listed at the link below).
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=-1&IsNodeId=1&Description=HD%206450&bop=...
The card has a maximum power draw of less than 30W and it is the optional card offered on HP business desktops with 240W power supplies.
Make sure you uninstall your old graphics card and driver in the device manager, shut down and unplug the PC before installing your new video card.

Graphic card help for Pr and Ae use

Hi there great community :)
I'm currently working with only the on-board graphic card, and of course I should upgrade as my GPU is working on 99% on large renders and they are slow...
I've been recommended the GeForce nvidia 2-4GB gtx 760, but neither the 750 or 760 are listed as supported graphic cards in the premiere cc system requirements.
Is there a reason for this or should I ignore that?
Is there a good reason for spending a little extra cash on the 4 GB vs the 2 GB card ?
What exactly will a graphic card do for my performance? (I'm not a computer expert)
My general use is premiere cc and after effects cc
Hope you'll help. Greatly appreciated!
Nice weekend to all :)
- Simon

Premiere accelerates both playback and export with the GPU. AE Ray Tracer acceleration is far more limited and will only be used for a limited functions.

All I can find is the graphics card matrix for CS3. Does anyone know where I can find the matrix for AE7pro?
Thanks,

What card do you want to use, if it's a common one perhaps some of us can remember if it was on the list.

PCI video card replacement for PowerMac G3 (Blue and White)

Hi, I am new to this forum. I apologize if this issue has been addressed before, but I have been reading over the forum for the last 2 days and tried all the steps I could find. I have an old PowerMac G3 (Blue and White).
It used to run fine. I had a friend with a similar computer and he
needed a video card, so I gave him the one in my Mac G3, because I was not using it at the time.
Now, I have decided I want to use it. I am running into an issue with the video (It takes PCI), I get no display, but I can hear the hard drive spin, it lights up, I hear the Apple "ding".
I have about 6 PCI video cards laying around, and I have tried all of them, resetting the CUDA each time. Still cannot get a display.
I have tried different slots on the motherboard, checked the PRAM battery, (it was good). Tried booting off a live Linux CD for power PCs, tried the commandoption+pr until I hear the apple "ding" go off 2x, I have tried a different monitor and monitor cable.
Nothing seems to work, I need to know what I should try next.
Thank you for your help in this matter.

"I have about 6 PCI video cards laying around, and I have tried all of them, resetting the CUDA each time. Still cannot get a display."
If these graphics cards are designed for use in PCs, they won't work in your Mac. Compatible graphics cards must be programmed with a Mac ROM. Some "PC" cards can have their EEPROM chip flashed with a Mac ROM, provided that someone has extracted the particular Mac ROM code for the card in question. A web search will provide leads for that. If you just want a decent graphics card, go for a Radeon 7000 Mac Edition (2002 vintage card). If you check eBay, you should be able to find a flashed "PC" Radeon 7000 card. I'd try to get the one with 64 MBs of DDR memory, as opposed to the 32 MB model. If you don't mind spending more $$, you can find a more current PCI graphics card for your G3, like the Radeon 9200 at Other World Computing.
