HDMI Out Graphics Card

(This is for my friend who's too lazy to create an account)
My friend just got a Mac Pro (standard specs) and hooked it up to a monitor he just got from newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009154
Since it only has HDMI ports, he has it hooked up through an HDMI to DVI adapter, however there is random flickering here and there (which is probably due to the refresh rate, but there's no option to change it other then the one selected). I'm assuming the graphics card can't interface with the display properly causing this flickering to happen every once in a while. Can you reccomend a Graphics Card that has an HDMI out port on it that's good and not too expensive (around $250 range or below)?
Thanks.

I don't think your assumption (that the graphics card can't interface with the display properly) is accurate. HDMI has the same video signals as DVI, and no real conversion is done.
If you're seeing flickering "once in a while" it is unlikely that it's a problem with the frame rate. I suspect you're seeing a phenomenon other than flickering, like the graphics updating too slowly. If it's flickering due to frame rate issues you'd see it constantly with a white screen. And even then it could still be caused by a bad inverter or even your ambient light source.

No sound output on installing a hdmi support graphics card on HP Compaq dc5800 Small Form Factor

when i inserted a HDMI support graphics card on g-force nvidia on my HP Compaq dc5800 Small Form Factor no audio output was availabe i need a support for this problem

You will have to switch the sound Playback from Speakers to the Digital Audio output.
Disconnect the speakers from the default output at the rear of your PC. Sound will be output through the HDMI cable to the device it is connected to if the video device has HDMI sound capability. If you have it connected to an HDTV it should not be an issue. All you will have to do is use the TV's menu to accept the computer input instead of cable.

Swapping out Graphics card on HP Envy 17-k251na

Hello! I have a feeling that i may have been given the wrong information by the assistant i bought my machine from in PC world...
I was assured i would be able to swap out my graphics card, which is a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 850M (4 GB DDR3 dedicated)
and upgrade.
I was also told i could upgrade the processor.
I've been told by a few people that this simply isn't true and to upgrade the Graphics Card i'd need a whole new motherboard... but the term "dedicated" is what's confusing me... am i wrong in thinking that it works seperately and the term "intergrated" means that it's part of the motherboard?
I spent a lot of money on this laptop on the premis of what the assistant told me! Ultimately that i would be able to upgrade this laptop as time went on. (I want to primarly want to use this for gaming)
I'm hoping what people are telling me is all hear say.. it doesn't seem to make sence to me that i can choose between two different graphics cards to run games with and they'd BOTH be intergrated into the mother board....
The other one that's in my machine is an Intel Graphics HD 5500.
Also this machine has a 1 TB HDD and an 8GB SSD, i'd like to also swap out for a larger SSD... i was also told that this was possible.
Hoping for good news here, any help woud be appreciated!

Right now the links to your product manual are down but assuming the 17-k200 series is like the 17-k000 and 17-k100 series there is no easy access to the hard drives and memory. That is, no customer accessible panels on the bottom you can open by just removing a screw. Further, there is no graphics "card" to just "swap out". "Dedicated" and "integrated" refer to the use of memory. An integrated video card shares system memory; i.e. the RAM supplied by the RAM modules you clip into the RAM slots. Dedicated video memory is memory built into the video chip. On a laptop, both kinds of video cards are soldered to the motherboard and cannot be upgraded. Your laptop has "switchable" graphics and most definitely has two different video chips soldered onto different places on the motherboard.
As for the processor, you already have one of the newest and best laptop processors offered. The video you have is also pretty top-notch. I am always a bit baffled by people who buy a laptop with the idea of upgrading it. Laptops just do not work that way. Components are way crazy expensive. Your processor is so new there are none to be purchased but when it does become available it will be over $350. On the very few super expensive engineering and high-end gaming laptops that do have a kind of removeable graphics card (mxm) high-end ones run at least $450. So even if you could do the upgrades, which you cannot, you would be looking at over $1000 with labor. I understand people do not appreciate the cold reality of this.
And just to hit you with more bad news, on your model the CPU might be soldered to the motherboard so it cannot be upgraded at all. I can confirm when your Manual is back online.
Upgrading memory and changing the hard drive for an SSD also requires extensive complex disassembly.
You have one of the best consumer laptops on the market. There is just not much upgrade headroom. It sounds like what you really want is a gaming laptop. HP makes one called the Omen which sells for about $1500-1800US, and would be a little stronger than what you have, particularly in the graphics. But even that is kind of a middle of the road thing. You can order a custom gaming laptop from a company like Sager and it is going to cost upwards of $2500 for the very best. Maybe you can complain to PC World and just return the one you have and start over a little wiser for the trouble.

Get "TV Out" graphics card for PAL monitor?

I'm having problems acheiving an external PAL monitor thru my camera. What if I cut out the camera with a new card for 'TV out', would this make the set-up more robust. Would the 'TV out' merely duplicate the computer monitor display? This is really frustrating, I need to see what I'm doing. Please help if you can!

It depends on what you mean by a new card. If you are talking about a Kona or Decklink - sure. A less expensive alternative may be the Canopus series of Digital Video/ Analog converter boxes. They take firewire in and output analog.

Graphics Card Swap Outs

PCs using MS operating systems can just swap out graphics cards. I want to buy the 17" MacBook Pro, but want the ATI Mobility Radeon X1800 instead of the 1600 currently packaged in the system so I can game as well as use it for business.
Question: Can you just swap out the 1600 and replace it with the 1800, or is the proprietary system too inflexible to allow that? A wantabee Mac owner.....

I want to get a 17" macbook pro with an upgraded ATI card, the 1800 or the 1900 - but there is NO WAY TO TALK TO TECHS! It is not a hard switch, bet there is no special requirements as it is just a faster model that fits in the same PCI express slot. I want someone IN THE TECH DEPARTMENT to tell me that the Mac is so propriety that it is totally inflexible to make that adjustment. OR, tell me that the new operating system 17" will have the new 1800 or 1900 ATI card - I will wait to buy then. Otherwise, I will go get the Dell 2010 that has the 1800 already in it (BUT i WILL NOT BE HAPPY ABOUT THE BUY.) By the way - it was your own sales agent at an Apple store that told me the 1600 was a dog compared to the 1800.....

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.

No audio from hdmi output from graphics card

hello, i have a ms-7191 motherboard that has on board graphics, i installed a visiontec ATI 4350 card so i can output the a/v to my vizio 46" TV using one of the hdmi ports. , the video works but no audio. tried to update the drivers from msi-no help, tried to update the graphics card drivers from visiontec (added the hd audio driver)-no help. tried updating the realtek driver-no help. tried swapping hdmi ports on the TV-no help. i know that i'm not the first to not be able to do this and i have searched for the answer, but i out of ideas, is it possible the problem is that it has a onboard graphics on the board? what should i do now?
Joel

This board came with a spidif bracket-installed into the pci e connector, maybe i am missing something here, is it that is there is no audio connector to the graphics card, so there will be no sound from the hdmi connector? if so how does one get a card to work with the hdmi for both A/V? i thought this card will be able to access the needed info, maybe not then, and if that is the case, then, i don't understand why we have graphics cards with the hdmi interface if it is not useable. i should be able to get by just fine with a dvi out to the tv and add a audio out ( but this tv doesn't have a dvi port ,just the vga-crap. well i do have the s video port-it ani't all that either,,please shed more guys...

ASUS EAH5450 silent graphics card to my Pavilion m7210 desktop but get no audio via HDMI output.

I have installed an ASUS EAH5450 silent graphics card to my Pavilion m7210 desktop but get no audio via HDMI output.I have 2 high Definition Audio Controllers in Device Manager, One has an exclamation mark with message
" This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12)
If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system.
You need to restart your computer before the changes you made to this device will take effect."
What do i need to do to get this to work ?
Thanks

The other HD Audio device is likely to be the Realtek ALC880 8-channel High Definition onboard sound. This is a bit of a decision point. If you plan on always using the AMD High definition Audio as your default ouput through an HD TV with HDMI out, then you can disable the Realtek HD audio device. Once that is done then restart the PC. Go to the Control panel and select sound, now sellect the AMD HDMI out and right-click and select it as the default. There should now be a green checkmark next to it. Now you can select Configure to test it.
Kind regards,
erico

Slimline s5-1010 - HDMI graphics card upgrade, what graphics cards will work in slimline box?

Slimline s5-1010 - HDMI graphics card upgrade, what graphics cards will work in slimline box? Cheap will do, under 100. Has 1 PCI Express x16, but the slot on back of pc looks about 2" too short for this?

Hi-
I think you will find there are more users of the ATI Radeon 9800 that DON'T have a 300w PSU, than those that do. It would leave out the majority of the G4 line if it were absolutely necessary. As I see it, it isn't absolutely necessary, and, it is also the ONLY higher end upgrade graphics card commercially produced for 2x, 4x AGP systems, most of which, DON'T have a 300w PSU.
My Sawtooth has a 237w PSU, and the 9800, and my processor upgrade, and 2 internal drives, all work just fine!
As for the piggyback connection, that is how you connect the power to the 9800. A splitter molex cable is used to split power from the superdrive connection, between the superdrive and the 9800.
G4 AGP(450)Sawtooth Mac OS X (10.4.8) 2ghzPPC,1.62gbSDRAM, ATI9800, DVR-109,(IntHD)120&160,LaCie160,23"Cinema Display

I think my graphics card went out?

Ok I looked for about an hour and found nothing on this. I just bought a power mac G5 with dual 2.0gig processors and 4 gigs of ram. It has 8 ram slots. I think its early 05. Anyway I used it for about a day I had it plugged in to my monitor which has a vga and a dvi port on it. I had the vga plugged into my g4 but I didnt have a power cable or anything else plugged in it. I dont know why but it was. I had my G5 plugged in the dvi. It worked fine. The next day I decided I want to move the G5 to the other side of the room. I shut the computer down unplugged everything moved it and put it back together, but I didnt plug in the G4 cause Like I said I didnt know it was like that till I saw it. Tried to start it and the screen just says no cable attached. I went and bought a DVI to HDMI to plug it into my flat panel TV and same thing. I noticed when I turned it on it bongs, all the lights are normal, but the fans slowly start speeding up after a few mins. I guess its the AGP card if you know for a fact it is and could recemend a good graphics card that could drive two 20" apple cinema displays for normal use and could drive one monitor with really good graphics for games and stuff that would be great oh and It cant be more than like $200 - 250 if possible.
Thank you!

thanks again japamac. I tried that though. I grounded myself, took the card out reseated it. I even got dust remover and dusted the slot and the card. This really *****.

I am trying to find out the proper graphic card for mac.

I am trying to find out the proper graphic card for imac. The graphic card which is mentioned in the web sit, that Graphic Card is not available in the open market. In open market NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M and NVIDIA GeForce GT 755M is available and this card is not mentioned in web site. So please help to select a proper suitable GPU.

Are they supportable for After Effects ray-traced 3d renderer.
I am confused because adobe recommended on the following graphic card.
Mac OS
GeForce GTX 285
GeForce GTX 675MX
GeForce GTX 680
GeForce GTX 680MX
GeForce GT 650M
Quadro CX
Quadro FX 4800
Quadro 4000
Quadro K5000

I accepted/installed an update for iMovie and it turns out that this version is not compatible with my graphics card. So now I can no longer open or use iMovie. Any ideas on how to get around this - how to revert to the previous version.

Look in your Applications folder. If your system behaved as expected, you should have an iMovie 9.0 folder in your Applications folder. Apple moved the old version there as even they suspected the new versions was a train wreck.

How do I get the best performance out of my graphics card under bootcamp?

I have a 20" iMac, I think it was 2009 I got it, maybe 2010. It has an nVidia 9400 graphics card. I have installed windows XP under bootcamp with which to play games specicially Star Trek online and Star Wars The Old Republic (also online game). Now the minimum graphics spec for SWTOR is an nVidia 7800 yet with the 9400 I can only play if I run everything on the lowest possible settings. I'd assumed that the 9400 being several models higher than the 7800 I should be able to run a higher level of graphics and seem to be capable of running better quality when playing games under OS X.
I may be wrong but it seems under bootcamp windows doesn't run my Mac at as high a level as it is capable. For one thing when I look under the specs it states I only have 2.7GB ram when the iMac actually has 4GB.
Am I just over estimating the graphics potential of my iMac or am I right in thinking that Windows under bootcamp isn't utilising the iMac's full potential and how can I fix this?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

you run into the limits of XP and built in graphics.
I would hope that you found in all these years how to install and get new moddified gpu drivers.
XP is limited and is 32-bit where each app gets 2GB address space also.
Windows 7 64-bit (or 8 even free for now to test out) otherwise wait to buy a new Mac.

Mega 180/Media Player/Graphic Card/TV-Out

Hi,
after very long research I decided to use Mega 180 as a dedicated PC for media center purpose and to connect it directly to my TV (Siemens 100 Hz real flat 16:9) and to upgrade my second PC and to connect the two PCs wirelesly and to use Media Portal software.
And then I have started to read related posts and forums. But this time I learned that there are new issues I have to deal with.
1. TV-out: The TV-Out of Mega 180 is not good enough on a TV. My question is do I have to buy another powerful graphic card? I need recommendation. My TV has composite and scart inputs.
2. Media Portal: This software has lack of some features. If I use MCE 2005, will it be better?
3. If I use a video converter, will it help me to find better picture on my TV?
Yes bodies, unfortunately there is no way to find the best solution. And I am at the final stage. If this solution does not run, I will give up. I need your recommendations.

This is copied from another reply I made today. The Mega 180 can drive a TV just fine. But you need to spend alot of time making it work.
How you hook up to your TV depends on your available TV connections and your quality standard. The Mega 180 does have an SVideo output. I don't use this however. I have a VGA input port on my 42 inch plasma monitor. It accepts VGA 640 X 480, 800 x 600, or 1024 X 768 standard computer resolutions. It also accepts 480P or 1080i TV inputs using the VGA port. Many quality TV monitors have a DVI port or component video. These would require some sort of physical adapter to attach to a Mega PC.
So I actually run in 1080i mode most of the time. This makes DVD's and HDTV look really nice. When using the XP computer screen I keep it in 1080i mode but map this to 960 X 540 resolution using PowerStrip. This way I can read the text on the display without it being distorted. However this is pretty low resolution for most web browsers and email programs. So it is kind of cramped... When playing computer games I switch to 1024 X 768 computer mode. The good thing is the on board Nvidia MX440 graphics work just fine to generate all these modes. So I do not have a card in the AGP slot.
