I need a new gfx card

Hi
I have an ati 5870 card and i use 3 screens with DVI ports incl 1 display port adapter for the third screen.
And now i want a new gfx card but i dont know what to chose because i need to connect my 3 screens with DVI
The card i am looking for must have the following port.
2 DVI
1 HDMI
1 display port
But all the new cards seems to have 1 or 2 dvi and 4 mini display ports.
I have looked on this card MSI R7970 Lightning
http://www.msi.com/product/vga/R7970-Lightning.html
Can i use these mini display ports and some kind of adapter that makes a HDMI and Displayport ?
Or can i get some adapter that makes my DVI screen ports to mini display port ?
Can i plug in 4 monitors on same time with the 4 minidisplay ports ?
Im a bit confused here..so please help me out

At the moment i have 3 samsung syncmaster 245B with DVI ports
So can i conenct 2 of my screens to the DVI ports on the card and use a "minidisplay port adapter to display port"
and then connect my third screen with this adapter i have. It needs a display port.

Do I need a new GFX card for FCS 2?

"An AGP or PCI Express Quartz Extreme graphics card (Final Cut Studio is not compatible with integrated Intel graphics processors)"
I don't speak this language. I have a Power Mac G5 Quad. When I go to "About this MAC" it says that I have PCI something, but nothing about "Express Quartz Extreme". Will I need to update my graphics card before installation.
Many thanks, and pardon my ignorance.

If you have the basic Power Mac Quad G5 it came with the Nvidia GeForce 6600 with 256MB memory.
You have no need to worry about your GFX card.
You can see that you have "Quartz Extreme" supported by looking at the Graphics/Displays tab in System Profiler.
(the "Express" part belongs with PCI, not Quartz Extreme. You have a "PCI Express" card.)

Do I need a new grapics card?

I have a factory(somewhat) Deminsion 3000 from Dell. The only thing that I have upgraded on it was the memory (512MB to 2gigs) I play a game which I think most people are familiar with, World of Warcraft. Now my question is related to FPS. The computer starts and loads decently, but for all of those who play WoW, hearthing is moderatly fast and so is loading screens, but general moving around is sluggish at best with all setting on LOW (average of 3 FPS while moving and 3 FPS standing still). I was wondering if a new graphics card would help fix this, and if so, what do I look for? I was also wondering if a new graphics card would make my youtube video's run faster while having WoW minimized, and possibly streaming with Xfire?
Thanks,
Zef

Your biggest bottle neck is your processor. Although WoW does use the video card, and a new one would help, it's just not worth it imo. WoW is very processor heavy and that is what will give you the biggest increase in performance.
I don't think the computer has a PCI-Express port, so you'd have to get a PCI video card and you might even need a more powerful power supply....all things that are not worth it.
You'll be MUCH better off getting a new computer and upgrading the PSU and video card on the new one. (Unless its a gaming PC out of the box)
Youtube 'speed' is generally based off of your internet connection, not the video card. As far as streaming, you'll need a new video card and processor before you can play and stream efficiently.
I don't play WoW anymore, but I can tell you how big of a different the processor makes vs. a new video card. I used to get 10-12fps mid fight / Dalaran with an old AMD 5000+ dual core, 5gb of ddr2 and an Nvidia 260gt video card. I picked up the Intel i7-970 6-core, 6gb of ram, and the same Nvidia 260gt... but this time around, my fps didn't drop below 60 no matter what I was doing.
On a side note, I guess that explains how people can be so bad at WoW. Getting 3 FPS while moving must make it hard to play well...
Although I do work for the Geek Squad, all comments and opinions are my own.

I need a new video card any suggestions?

Okay people I am in the market for a new video card and I need to choose between ATI and Nvidia. I plan to get either something in the X800 series or in the 6800 series. My budget is $400.

I cant complain with mine. I got it on sale for 245$ @ Compusa. Its quiet, never goes above 63C(? I havent seen it that high anyhow). However there is that problem with the vpu( full cpu usage or something when watching some media formats???). I would go X800 if you want to spend it all, or 6600gt AGP and something else like an mP3 player.

I need the best compatible sound card for this speakers .
I'm using the speakers for Trance , hard rock , games
Please pick me a special sound card , But not expensi've .

Preferably you would use a n AGP based graphics card as your radeon 9600 is. The PCI-x slots have lower bandwidth and would be slower.
Possible Upgrades
Radeon 9800pro
Radeon 9800XT
Radeon X800XT
Radeon X850XT
nVidia 6800GS/GT
nVidia 7800
All of which are in demand and short supply at present due to the new RoHS recycling requirements.

Need recommendations: New graphics card for HPE-400y

Hi! I'm in need of a new graphics card, but I don't know which one is best for my computer. My computer is a Hewlett Packard HPE-400y. Click here for specs!
My computers has all the original parts except the PSU and HDD. I recently changed the PSU to a Corsair CX430. The current hard drive is a WD Caviar Black 2TB.
I use my computer for Guild Wars 2, Maya (models and animation), Zbrush, Corel Painter, and Photoshop.
My current graphics card (Radeon HD 5450) has issues playing Guild Wars 2. The FPS is 30 or lower if I try to play the game with medium or high settings. The FPS also drops when I'm playing the group PVP event known as World Vs World. I often have to have the graphics on the lowest setting in order to get 30 -45 FPS.
You can find the Guild Wars 2 requirements here: GW2 official wiki -- requirements info
Click here for Maya 2015 requirements
Click here for Photoshop requirements
Click here for Zbrush requirements
Click here for Corel Painter requirements (When you get to the page, click on system requirements)
Any and all help is appreciated! Thank you in advance for your advice and help!

Hi,
You should be able to get a double wide card in your PC. Length may be a problem due to all of the cables. If the space below the optical drive is open then you might try to stuffing the extra cable lengths into that location.
BTW-- very nice photos. Not many will go through the effort to do so.
Consider trying one of the below graphics.
MSI NVIDIA GTX N750 TI and the MSI GTX N750 TF Both of these graphics cards are significantly faster then your existing 5450.
Know what the return policy is before your buy.
You have an excellent Corsair power supply. I would prefer that you had a 500 watt PSU so that the higher performing graphics cards could be tried. This NVIDIA GTX 660 specifies at 450 watt minimum but the 12v amperage from your Corsair CX430 is more than sufficient. It might be worth giving it a go. It's about 50% faster than the above two graphics cards. I typically don't recommend that graphics cards be used with PSUs below the graphics card manufacturer's minimum requirements but the Corsair CX430 should work.
HP DV9700, t9300, Nvidia 8600, 4GB, Crucial C300 128GB SSD

New GFX card, Quartz Extreme error, and suddenly FCP 6 will not run. Help me fix this problem please!

Model Name: Mac Pro Model Identifier: MacPro1,1 Processor Name: Dual-Core Intel Xeon Processor Speed: 3 GHz Number Of Processors: 2 Total Number Of Cores: 4 L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB Memory: 7 GB Bus Speed: 1.33 GHz
My old GFX card nVidia GeForce 7300GT which is busted.
I replaced it with a nVidia NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 from a Mac Pro of the same generation.
I'm now getting a Quartz Extreme error whenever I try to run Final Cut Pro 6 or Compressor. "This system does not meet the following minimum requirements: Final Cut Pro 6 requires that your system have a Quartz Extreme capable video card."
Well, I checked the specs of the card and it does support Quartz Extreme. So why isn't FCP 6 running?
Looking under the System Profiler > Graphics/Displays, it doesn't say the Cinema HD Display supports Quartz Extreme, but how could that be, because the Quadro 4500's specs online says it does?!! This was the better GFX card made for the same generation of Mac Pro but somehow doesn't work!
This is also effecting my DVD player App with an error: "A valid video device could not be found for playback: -70017". Which has never happened before either.
I've researched online and can't find anything that works.
The card has power running to it and the monitor is hooked into the closest DVI port to the logic board which most of people with the same problem have done to fix this. I've also gone into the Disk Utility and ran both Verify and Repair permissions and the same for the boot disk.
Nothing. I'm stumped. Short of trying to flash the ROM on the GFX card I'm not sure what to do. And I'm not comfortable doing that. Help please?
I'm using Final Cut Pro 6 and subsequent older versions of Motion and Compressor, not FCP X or companion series.
HELP!!!!

Do I need a different graphics card to run final cut?

No need to worry. You'll be fine with the GPU in your iMac. I've been using a G5 iMac (w/ a second display) since August 2005, and I've had no problems.

Is iTunes needed with new SIM card?

Is it necessary to sync with iTunes before a new SIM card works in an iPad? I'm just thinking about what to do if I got a SIM card while abroad for roaming and obviously wouldn't have a computer to sync with. Thanks.

bigsy66 wrote:
Thanks for the welcome and reply. I suppose another question along the same lines is if I swap over SIM cards I have already registered and used with different providers, does that also require a sync with iTunes?
For example, I live in Belfast and am in Dublin quite regularly. Although the iPad is not yet officially available in Ireland (Republic of), it is here in the North and I will be trying to get a something that will let me roam cheaply and easily in both places.
I just read a question and answer from Apple and Mossberg regarding your question. Apparently, SOMETIMES, you have to connect to iTunes if you switch SIM cards. They gave no clarity as to what may or may not require you connect to iTunes.
I think, from what I've read, you have to connect the first time, but you may not have to do so in subsequent switches.

A dual 2 GHz M9032LL/A G5 needs a new graphics card

I have a ATI Radeon 9600 Pro card (ROM revision 113-A13601- 126) in there now, but the card is failing. There's a temperature sensitive element and I need to put a blow dryer on the graphics card to wake it up. After it's up it runs fine, but dealing with it is a pain.
I can't find new Radeon 9600 pro cards. Is there a replacement?
Regards,
Ty Ford

Ty,
Your G5 uses an 8x AGP slot and OWC has ATI Radeon 9600 and X800 cards available.
But, you might also consider checking eBay for flashed PC AGP cards.
And if you are interested in flashed PC cards, check out The Mac Elite forum and Wiki.

HP Pavillion p6120f needs a new graphics card

Will Asus Low Profile NVIDIA GeForce 210 1GB GDDR2 PCI Express 2.0 Graphics Card Model: EN210 SILENT/DI/1GD2(LP)
work without requiring a new power supply? Running Windows Vista but may upgrade to Win 7. Thx!

Hi:
Looking at the reviews for the card at the link below, no one seems to have provided wattages for the PC power supplies they installed the cards in. That is usually helpful. However many subjectively state low power requirements.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=14-121-422&SortField=0&SummaryType=0&Pagesize=10&Pur...
Below is the link to the nvidia specs...they recommend a minimum of a 300 W P/S.
http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-210/specifications
I will give you my opinion. Unless you plan to tax the card often and heavily by throwing whatever games you can at it, I think it will work just fine in your 250W P/C. The max output of the card is only 30W.
Use this handy tool to calculate the power supply requirements you will need for that card.
I bet it comes in at less than 300W.

Need a new Graphics Card

My GeForce 8800 GT is toast it seems. It has been very flaky since the last OS update and then Apple supposedly fixed the issues with the graphics update. It seemed to improve, but after a week or so I cant even use the card. It crashes the machine hard after startup 100%.
I tried it in Boot Camp with the latest Nvidia drivers for Windows 7 and a similar result, so Im guessing it its the card and not Apple's driver for OSX.
That said, I want to get a new card. But Im not sure whats the best *AND MOST STABLE* in the 10.6.4 environment.
I have a 30" Cinema Display and my Mac Pro specs are listed below. I do a lot of Photoshop workd (CS5), but I also run games like Starcraft II and Final Fantasy XIV in Boot Camp.
Anyone out there know whats the best card currently? Much appreciated!

Nothing really wrong with it, except that it is half of the 5870 and equal to or a bit slower than the 4870.
The price, and availability, is good however.
What I really have against the 5770, is that it is (as usual) a lower end, standard card for a professional grade machine.
The 5870 is now a mid level card, being last years high end card.
I figure that if one is going to upgrade, it should have some future proofing to it.
Having said that, the 4870 is yesterdays news......
One thing that the 5770 has going (in PC circles) is in a Crossfire setup, the 5770 pair is faster than the 5870.
Same said for a pair of 4870's.
Of course, Crossfire is still only a Windows function, as Apple doesn't think that we need it in OS X.....
Flashed 4870's seem to work pretty well, so there is always that option....
Here's one take on comparison (25 pages of tests) from last year:
