HDMI video cards

hi all,
I bought a DVI to HDMI adapter to use on my G4 and it works like a charm. Do they make any straight forward HDMI video cards to use on older G4 Macs?

Hopefully japamac drops in, but you might look to see if something like this can be flashed with Mac Rooms & taped off to work with less that 8x AGP...

Video Cards with Standard DP & HDMI Ports

Since the NVIDEA 120 and ATI 4870 both have mini-DisplayPorts, they require an <adapter> to use with any monitor other than Apple's 24" LED (correct me if I am wrong); and, since use of the adapter does not allow <audio> pass thru . . .
I am looking for a Video Card (with comparable performance) which uses a <Standard size DP and HDMI port> in order to directly connect to other monitors of my choice (without using an adapter).
Does anyone have recommendations, or corrections of what I describe?

USE THE ADAPTER...Go with the ATI 4870

Going from video card w/ micro hdmi & 2 dvi into monitor w/ 2 hdmi & 1 vga; ??

trying to determine which would give me the best resolution. video card has 2 dvi and 1 micro hdmi outs; monitor has 2 regular hdmi and 1 vga. would the micro hdmi to a regular hdmi work best or would a dvi to hdmi give better resolution. getting conflicting answers and msi not answering phone today, thanks!
also can i go from 2 dvi into 1 or 2 hdmi to get better resolution?

Resolution is dependent on what your monitor (display device ) supports. It makes no difference which connector you use, as DVI and HDMI are both digital outputs

ATI 5770 1GB Video Card For Mac Pro dvi hdmi cable

I am sending video signal over a 50FT HDMI To DVI from my Mac Pro (3,1) via ATI 5770 1GB Video Card For Mac Pro (5.0 GT/s) (181062917108) and I cannot get a constant signal to my TV. The signal stays on for a few seconds or several hours or my TV (Samsung) says there is no signal or I get just a gray static screen.
I never had a problem before with my previous video card the 512MB nVidia GeForce 8800GT with a 25ft long cable. Any ideas people?

A cable of about 5 meters (16 ft) can be manufactured to Category 1 specifications easily and inexpensively by using 28 AWG (0.081 mm²) conductors.[114] With better quality construction and materials, including 24 AWG (0.205 mm²) conductors, an HDMI cable can reach lengths of up to 15 meters (49 ft).[114]
from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI
You may need a higher-quality cable or a lower resolution for your display to make this work without an HDMI Repeater.

HDMI video capture card

I need to specify a HDMI video capture card to work with Adobe Flash for the DCO application on a Dell T3500 PC. The system also includes a Black Magic Designs H.264 Pro Recorder for recording training sessions. Can anyone recommend a card that will work?
Thanks

No problem. Be warned, though. As far as I know, M series camcorders are only available on secondhand markets right now, and if you happen to find, say, a Vixia HF M500 new and unopened, the after-market price might be a little higher.

Msi video card n240gt and n9800gt problems with output HDMI

Hello to all
I have a problem I just bought a new Video card because I needed HDMI output. The previous card I have is a BFG Ge Force 8800GT 512 DDR2 running @ 1920x1080p 60Hz which works perfectly the only downside is it does not have HDMI out with 5.1. Now i installed the n240GT 512 DDR5 and tried watching BD ripped to the HDD and playing them back all i get now it jerking lagging bad also and have horizontal red and green lines scattered across the screen.Which i did not have with my 8800GT card thinking its a bad card so i bought another card from another dealer this time its a MSI N9800GT 1gig DDR3 and still the same problem.I Checked the resolution and its set to 1920x1080P refresh at 60Hz,i also changed the Hz to 24Hz and it cleaned up the lines but not all and picture still jerky picture. I have a MSI K9N NEO V3 Motherboard and all drivers updated current Bios. l used a DVI cable 40ft long with my Ge Force 8800GT and every thing worked fine, once I installed the new MSI Video cards N240gt and N9800GT I have the above problems and using a 50FT HDMI cable. I have a Samsung PN50A550 with 3 HDMI inputs 1 has my BluRay player hooked up with HDMI running at 1920x1080P at 60Hz and crystal clear picture no problems, input 2 has my HD Bell receiver running at same specs as input 1 no problems I tried the other HDMI inputs from the Samsung TV from the HDMI out from the card same thing. It has to be the cards that can`t support the TV what else can it be if not the MSI cards. Please respond ASAP Thanks Thumpalong

You may want to borrow and test with another PSU.
We always recommend Corsair and Seasonic
I can't find anything on Topower other than that opinion piece of linked... getting frustrated. Most of the time I can find detailed info on most psu's not this time, so best to borrow and test.
Assuming of course that the older VGA's worked fine.

Video card for HDMI output?

Hey guys,
We've got an old PowerPC G5 in the office that we'd like to set up for viewing HD footage on an HDTV. I know that there are DVI to HDMI adapters out there, and that's ideally the route we'd like to go. Unfortunately, we also need dual monitor support on this machine. Are there any hardware options available on this older machine that will give us what we need? i.e., can a machine support two video cards?
Specs
Dual 2GHz PowerPC G5
14GB DDR2 SDRAM
OSX 10.5.8
Currently installed card: GeForce 6600LE
Thanks so much for your help guys!

Hi Joe, and a warm welcome to the forums!
All G5s support Dual Monitors on one card...

USB 3.0 to HDMI External Video Card USB32HDE Mountain lion?

Hey!
I bought one of those USB 3.0 to HDMI External Video Card Multi Monitor Adapter (USB32HDE) and read it should work on MACBOOK Air before purchase. However at the same time i installed mountain lion and it seems nothing is happening?
Do anyone have an idea if its due the Mountain lion or it just dont work on macbooks at all?
thanks guys!

TL;DR, J5Create has a similar device to the StarTech USB32HDE called the JUA 350. So similar in fact, they use the same drivers, and J5Create distributes the OS X drivers.
Hi, I found this post through Google and thought I'd provide my solution for anyone else who runs into this. I also bought a StarTech USB32HDE for my Air, which was not my smartest purchase ever since I can now clearly see that StarTech only officially supports Windows, supplying a zip file containing drivers from a company called Trigger. Thankfully, while I was looking at alternatives in preparation to return the USB32HDE, I found the J5Create JUA 350, which looks almost identical. On a whim I decided to grab the JUA 350 drivers and give them a shot. When I opened the dmg, lo and behold, the drivers provided were also by Trigger, specifically 1.0b11 for Lion/Mountain Lion, and after a restart they're working perfectly with the USB32HDE so far. So while I wouldn't recommend it, my bet is these devices are actually the same, and hopefully this helps anyone else who makes the same inadvisable purchase.

MSI NEW P.E. Series Video Card - GTX670 Power Edition 2GD5/OC with Twin Frozr 4

Glad to be back in the forum and I was been busy for awhile. By this time lots of PC hardware already came out especially from Nvidia. Just like today my share would be MSI's N670GTX PE 2GD5/OC video card.
First of all lets talk about the GTX670 GPU chip. This GPU is the younger sibling of GTX680 which uses the same 28nm GK104 chip but with one disabled shader cluster/core.The reference or standard GPU clock is 915Mhz with a turbo boost of 980 and as for the memory is concerned, it has a 256bit memory bus connected to a 2GB GDDR5 memory with speed of 6008Mhz. Just like with any Kepler based architecture, the card would also have all the goodies like "Adaptive V-Sync", "AA TXAA (Temporal Super Sampling)", supports "DX11.1" and improved 3D Vision Surround.
Moving on, let's check out now what MSI did with their GTX670 SKU based video card. The card is under a new Series named "Power Edition" (series comparison table below) and it comes factory overclocked from GPU clock of 915MHz to 1020MHz and Turbo boost of 980Mhz to 1080Mhz. It also comes with the 4th version of Twin Frozr Thermal Cooling design with a theme color of Black and Blue which matches the color of MSI's midrange to high-end motherboards as well. The dual 8cm PWM fan based cooler are equipped with Propeller Fan Blades which draws air better and now has the so called "Dust Removal Technology", basically as you startup your PC the fan will rotate counter clockwise for 30 seconds clearing the dust from the cooling heatsink. Adding a finishing touch, MSI equipped the video card with their Military Class III components ensuring the best performance, efficiency, higher overclocks and durability.

@Bernhard
The card is not with me already :( it was just left for few days. Don't worry next time I will make some tests using Virtu MVP.
@Update
Afterburner 2.2.3 is already out and with this new version. You can overclock the PE better

Dual Radeon video card -- Second card Unknown/4th monitor

My initial plan was to use four monitors on my Radeon HD 6790 as follows:
1 Single-link DVI-D = monitor1 dvi
1 Dual-link DVI-I = monitor2 dvi
1 Display Port = monitor3 dvi with adapter
1 HDMI = new monitor
This did not work as I could not use the hdmi port with the second dvi plugged in so I decided to buy a second cheaper ati card (the 6450) to power the fourth monitor. Well of course that did not work as well since the 2nd video card was identified as UNKNOWN via the Ctalyst control Center(amdcccle).
This is how I currently have my monitors plugged in:
6790 (Main card):
1x dvi
1x dvi via DisplayPort
1x hdmi
6450 (Secondary card):
1x dvi
I tried for two days to get the second card identified by the Catalyst driver and I ended up borking my system in the process. So now I am on week two of getting this setup to work with no avail so I decided to post a new thread.
Here is some relevant information that may help:

Notice the fourth monitor is labeled as "1-Default monitor" instead of hdmi (or whatever) and the second card is not listed.
I am literally at my wit's end trying to figure this out. So basically I am wondering if anyone has a clue where to begin trying to get the 2nd video card identified or is it even possible with the current Catalyst driver? I know my hardware can power it fine as it works perfectly on my Windows gaming partition.
Thanks in advance

I had to manually edit my xorg.conf and add the values for the second video card/fourth monitor. I cannot figure out how to take a screenshot of all 4 X sessions so here is a picture of the setup:

Video Card upgrade for HP Pavilion HPE h8-1256s Desktop

I wanted to upgrade my current graphics card which was an NVIDIA GeForce GT 620, the mother board is a H-Joshua-H61-uATX. I recently bought an EVGA GeForce GTX 750Ti Superclock. I unistalled the old drivers took out the old card, added the new one and when I started up my PC i would recive 3 beeps and a black screen. I did some research and found out that it may be due to the BIOS. There is no BIOS upgrade I can find and my BIOS vers is AMI 7.11, 4/28/2012. I would appreciate a list or a recommendation of compatable Video cards so I do not have to keep buying and installing these devices or if there is a new BIOS update.
Graphics card (Bought on Amazon): EVGA GeForce GTX 750Ti Superclock w/G-SYNC Support 2GB GDDR5 128bit, Dual-Link DVI-I, HDMI, DP 1.2 Graphics Card (02G-P4-3753-KR)

Hi,
The EVGA 750 will not work with a version 7 BIOS. Look under Windows 8 for BIOS version 8.19.

If you are running Windows 7 then I haven't seen a post on this forum indicating if the EVGA 750 will work when the BIOS version 8 is set to legacy mode.

Graphics/Video Card [REPLACEMENT / UPGRADE] on HP Pavilion Desktop - Help

I have the following:
HP Pavilion Elite m9152p Desktop
Upgraded to Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (upgraded 11-2009)
The video card seems to have gone out and I have tried the following:
Reinstalling Operating system
Uninstalled & Reinstalled & Rollback drivers
Prior to the above attempts, no changes had been made to software or hardware only leading to the same result: The video seems to be fine and then it freezes and crashes and ultimately has to have a hard-restart at which point, the computer loads the onboard video/graphics.
I need to purchase a replacement video/graphics card, but I am unsure what specs I need to be aware of or what my computer can handle as far as a replacement and maybe a possible upgrade (not necessary) - any help in this regard would be most appreciated.
Thanks!

I think it is a good choice.
The reviews seem positive for the most part including that the fan appears to be quiet.
I don't know if your previous card had HDMI.
When you install your new video card, it may disable your onboard audio due to the HDMI audio chip on the video card.
If you do lose your onboard audio, after you install the video drivers, reboot the machine, go into the BIOS, find the onboard audio setting. It may be set to Auto or Disabled. Change the setting to Enabled. Save the setting where you made the change and again when you exit the BIOS.
Upon reboot you will have your onboard audio back.
Looking forward to hearing back from you.

Question on my video card.

I am curious if there is a way to hook my pc up to my flat screen tv. I have a 570 GTX video card that has a mini hdmi port on the back of my video card and I was wondering if by getting a cable to hook up from there could I connect it to my flat screen tv that has hdmi. Since I would really like to try my computer out with this new big screen I have. Would it be as simple as getting the right cord or would I have to go through a lot just to do it.

Alright thank you. I was hoping it would be as simple as having one of the cables with the mini hdmi on one side and normal on the other since I have never done anything with hdmi before.

New video card for HP Pavillion Elite HPE-170t

Hi, I'm starting to get some screen artifacts sporadically, Ithink my video card is starting to go bad. i want to get a new one, but I am not sure what will fit. My computer HP Pavillion Elite HPE-170t:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-860 quad-core processor [2.8GHz, 1MB L2 + 8MB shared L3 cache]
8GB DDR3-1333MHz SDRAM
1TB 7200 rpm SATA 3Gb/s hard drive
1GB ATI Radeon HD 4850 [2 DVI, HDMI and VGA adapters]
Lightscribe SuperMulti DVD burner
15-in-1 memory card reader, 1 USB, 1394, audio
No TV Tuner
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium
I see by some other questions here several video cards suggested, but those replies were a few years old and those video cards are no longer available.
So, any suggestions on newer video cards under $200 that will pretty much fit and work as easily as possible? Thanks!

Thanks for the quick reply. I don't have another monitor to try, but the artifacts seem to sometimes move along with the mouse cursor. Sometimes I can scrill the artifacts away, other times the screen freezes.
I do have room for a double width card, but I was looking at the XFX R7 250E 800MHz 1GB DDR5 DP HDMI DVI Graphics Card, which seems to be a newer model of the XFX AMD Radeon HD 7750 1GB GDDR5 . Both are single wide and don't need an extra power connection.

Building a new computer.. video card help?

im building a new system, planning to use after effects CS5 on it, and these are the specs.
Intel Core i7 930 2.8 GHz w/ 8mb cache
Asus P6T SE Motherboard
2 x 500GB Caviar Black 7200 RPM SATA HD (linked somehow.. raid, maybe? he said it's show up as one drive and be faster)
2 TB 5400 RPM Additional storage drive.
Patriot Extreme Performance Viper II Series DDR3 12GB (6 x 2GB)
GeForce GTS 250 512MB PCI-E w/ DVI, HDMI
and a 24" Samsung Display.
This has run me 2200, already a little over over my budget?
My question is, is it worth the upgrade to a 285 (or maybe a Quadro)? This'll cost probably 300-400 more dollars. How different will it really be with this Mercury Playback Engine?

If you build the PC and it has RAID you can use a RAID 0 (striping). It
reads and writes faster but if one drive fails all is lost as each drive only contains half of
the data. I run an ICor7 920 2.66 that boots from a Western Digital 10K hard drive and runs two 500 GB drives in a RAID 0 for data drive. I didn't get the boost I expected from the RAID 0. I run two monitors with a 512 MB NVidia 8400 video card running my editing screen and a 1 GB NVidia 9500 running my display monitor. It works pretty well. The CS5 x64 really made it better but if I have too many layered sequences I have to reduce the monitoring to 1/4 res. I run Windows7 x64.
