IBook G4 ---Does it have a 3D Video card?

Hi
I am trying to figure out if my iBook meets the requirements to get a game called Railroad Tycoon 3. On the list of system requirements, it says 3D video card. I cannot find anything about a video card at all in the System Profiler. Does anyone know if the built in video card will be sufficient to run this game?
Thanks!

Hi Duane and Frozen Apple
I am happy to report that I did order the game and it arrived yesterday and I installed it today and all went well there and my 9 year old son is thrilled! He has been playing the game and is quite happy.
Thanks for the help on this issue!

  • Satellite A660-149 - Does it have a 3D video card?

    My notebook has been a surprise gift for me - day after day I'm now discovering its many wonderful features. A bit of a struggle though 'cos I'm far from being well versed in computing.
    One thing I'm uncertain about is this: Is my NVidia GeForce a 3d video card? I 'd better be sure because a couple of the drivers Toshiba Tempro suggests I install come with the warning: *This driver is only for the model with the nVidia 3D video card*. Is anyone around who can confirm the Satellite A660-149 does have a 3d video card?

    Thank you, folks, for helping me clarify my very hazy ideas on this subject. Then this screen with 1366x768 res/ and 60 hz refresh rate is for sure not up to reproducing 3d, but Xardas must be right in thinking the A660 may support 3D on an external monitor which would explain why the Toshiba utility advises on the installation of a 3d driver for the A660 series. Oh well, I won't bother with 3d one way or another, enough complications in life as it is at the moment. Cheers all. :)

  • Does aperture require a dedicated video card? If not a requirement? does it improve the performance of aperture?

    Does aperture require a dedicated video card? If not a requirement? does it improve the performance of aperture?

    Aperture can work with integrated video, but the consensus here is that Aperture is fairly demanding when it comes to graphics cards, as it relies on them for various processes. So, if you have the option to get a machine with a dedicated video chipset, do so.

    Either add a credit card or maybe another payment method will work
    or
    Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.

  • Does iMovie have Sound and Video Effects?

    Before i begin filming my college film i wanted to ask and see if imovie has sound and video effects. what i mean is like, say in the film a gun is shot, well does imovie have a shot going off sound? are there sound effects? or am i asking in the wrong place and see if garageband has these?
    also, video effects? i know imovie has like sepia and black and white tones among others but can i add other types of effects? if so, what kinds?
    thanks!

    you're looking for specific effects for your specific needs.. why not launching iM on your MacBook.. and look for your own..???
    BEFORE doing a "serious" project, I would allway do some test/dummy projects, just to get comfortable with some software ...
    plus:
    the two additional audio tracks allow easiely to place small audio snippets, downloaded from anywhere in the web to your movie.. if you need explosions, gunshots, lightsabres, whatever, the iNet is full of sources...
    plus:
    you can teach iM lots of new tricks by installing/purchasing 3rd party plug-ins, if you need very special effects , iM does not support out-of-the-box.

  • How does Photoshop CS6 choose the video card for its Graphics Processor?

    Running a Intel Mac on 10.74 - CS6
    I have two video cards running three Dell Monitors.
    The ATI 5770 (runs the 24") is on the 16 lane PCI slot and the older Nvidea 8800 GT (running two Dell 19") is on the 8 lane slot.
    But photoshop chooses the slower card on the slower lane.
    Any advise welcome to change this.

    It's not really Adobe's fault.
    The simple fact is that most of the software design that supports display processing is still mired in the days where a computer had one monitor.  Making things worse is the fact that the GPU makers don't really have any incentive to make their hardware/software work in a system with other GPU makers' hardware.  In a selfish sense, quite the opposite.  Who's at fault when your ATI and nVidia cards don't work together?
    Macs have just as many problems as PCs - possibly more, since Mac users don't have the luxury of mixing and matching driver versions.
    Many modern video cards are made now to support sometimes up to 4 monitors.

  • Team Site default site assets library does not have support for video, images, etc..

    Greetings,
    Our users have noticed that when they create a new subsite that the default site assets library does not give them the option to create a new document type of video, image, etc.. just a word document.
    If I create a new asset library I do see all the options when creating a new file from the drop down menu under the ribbon >files>new document
    Is this default behavior when creating a new team site or is there something that I can configure so that the default site assets library that is built is really a site assets library and not a standard document library?

    i think you are talking about the "Site Assets" Library and this is not meant for the Asset Library.Yes this is default behavior.
    Site Assets: Use this library to store files which are included on pages within this site, such
    as images on Wiki pages. jsut think about the other OOTB libraries i.e Style, Pages libraries etc.
    Assets Library is the one you need to add in your site collection to take the advantage of it.
    Please remember to mark your question as answered &Vote helpful,if this solves/helps your problem. ****************************************************************************************** Thanks -WS MCITP(SharePoint 2010, 2013) Blog: http://wscheema.com/blog

  • Does anyone have problems with video playback, jerky video?

    Video playback on my MacBook Pro is jerky, really not workable at all.  Has anyone else had a similar problem?

    This is my pet checklist for questions regarding FCP X performance - you may have already addressed some of the items but it's worth checking.
    Check the spec of your Mac against the system requirements:
    http://www.apple.com/finalcutpro/specs/
    Check the spec of your graphics card. If it's listed here, it's not suitable:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4664
    Make sure you're using the latest version of the application - FCP X 10.0.3 runs very well on my 2009 MacPro 2 x 2.26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon with 16 GB RAM and ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB. I run it with Lion 10.7.3.
    Check that you have at least 20% free space on your system drive.
    If you have not already done so, move your Projects and Events to a fast (Firewire 800 or faster) external HD. Make sure the drive's formatted OS Extended (journalling's not required for video). You should always keep at least 20% free space on the Hard Drives that your Media, Projects and Events are on.
    If you are getting crashes, there is some conflict on the OS. Create a new (admin) user account on your system. Do NOT import any of the settings etc from the old account - simply use FCP X from there - if it runs a lot better, there's a conflict and a clean install would be recommended - but remember, if you reinstall the system, and then use Migration Assistant (or anything else) to import all your old settings etc etc, you may well be importing the cause of the conflict in the first place.
    Keep projects to 20 mins or less (about half that for Multicam). If you have a long project, work on short sections, make them into Compound Clips and then paste these into a final project for export.
    If you ever experience dropped frames, I strongly recommend you use ProRes 422 Proxy - it edits and plays back like silk because the files are small but lightly compressed (not much packing and unpacking to do) - but remember to select 'Original or Optimised Media' (FCP X Preferences > Playback) just before you export your movie, otherwise it will be exported at low resolution.
    If you have plenty of processor power, for the ultimate editing experience, create Optimised Media - most camera native files are highly compressed and need a great deal of processor power to play back - particularly if you add titles, filters or effects. ProRes 422 takes up much more hard drive space but is very lightly compressed. It edits and plays back superbly.
    Hide Audio Waveforms at all times when you don't need them (both in Browser and Storyline / Timeline). They take up a lot of processor power. (Use the switch icon at the bottom-right of your timeline to select a format without waveforms if you don't need them at the moment, then switch back when you do).
    Create folders in the Project and Events libraries and put any projects you are not working on currently, in those folders. This will help a lot. There's a great application for this, called Event Manager X - for the tiny cost it's an invaluable application.
    http://assistedediting.intelligentassistance.com/EventManagerX/
    Unless you cannot edit and playback without it, turn off Background Rendering in Preferences (under Playback) - this will help general performance and you can always render when you need to by selecting the clip (or clips) and pressing Ctrl+R.
    The biggest single improvement I saw in performance was when I upgraded the RAM from 8 GB to 16.

  • Why does Apple have HDCP?  Videos I purchased years ago no longer play!

    If there's actually a solution besides a new monitor, please post.

    There are solutions to HDCP.   However, the answers are usually deleted.
    Please search your issue elsewhere on the Internet.  HDCP was demanded by the Hollywood cartel (not Apple), primarily to harass their customers.
    In future, I strongly recommend that you purchase movies on DVD or Blu-ray.  That way, you can watch them anywhere hassle free.
    Good luck !

  • Video Card Issues

    Hello.
    I am bit of a newbie at this PC building game and I am having some issues I was hoping you could help out with.
    I am running:
    AMD 3500+
    MSI K8N Neo Platinum/SLI
    ATI x600 All in Wonder (PCI-Express)
    1 GB DDR Dual Channel RAM
    Window XP SP2
    Initially, Windows would boot fine, but when I attempted to run a DVD or a game (BF 1942), the video card would choke and the PC would reboot.  I realized I didn't have enough power from my PS, so I upgraded.
    Things are much better now, however, after a certain amount of time running, I get either a matrix style green pattern interlaced in DVD or a purple checkerboard pattern in my game.  Everything still runs OK, so I am assuming I just don't have a setting right somewhere.
    I have the latest listed BIOS from MSI (Dec 2004).  I am running the Catalyst 5.3 drivers from ATI.
    Does anyone have any suggested video card setting to try?  BIOS settings?  Could it be temperature?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Thanks for the replies, I will answer as many as I can now and hopefully more later.
    Power Supply - Rosewill AP600X
    12V-35A
    5V - 50A
    3.3V - 30A
    I am not overclocking and I installed the Catalyst 5.3 first, so I didn't do a driver clean.
    I will try to check my temps although I believe I have ample ventilation.
    I will try the AA and AF settings.  Any suggestion on a screen resolution?
    Thanks for the help!

  • Java plug-in does not work on DELL laptop w/ ATI video card

    Hello there,
    I try to run Java Web Start on my new DELL laptop with ATI mobility radeon 7500 video card. When I run the SwingSet2 App, the whole system locks up, so I have to do a hard re-boot on my laptop. I found that this problem happens to other DELL laptops when I address this issue to my co-workers. Nevertheless, this problem is fixed when I run Java Web Start on some other desktops that does not use the ATI video card.
    Have any of your experience this? Does any know any workaround for this problem?
    Please help. Thanks.

  • Does PCI Express Video Card compatible on a MSI KM4M Motherboard

    Does a PCI Express NVDIA Video Card (8500GT 512MB/128Bit/DDR2) compatible on a MSI KM4M Series Motherboard (System Model: KM400-8235)?
    Is it possible to setup the PCI Express NVDIA Video Card on the MSI Motherboard PCI Bus Slot?
    Thanks for any response.

    Maybe this is a dumb question..
    There's no way a PCI-e card will work on that board. AGP yes, PCI yes, PCI-e no.

  • Won't really see a video card in the PCI slots

    I have a G4 MDD 1.23 GHz. I have a 32 MB video card in the AGP slot, but I also have 2 PCI 128 MB video cards lying around.
    Every time I try to throw a PCI video card in, though, I have problems. The image is only 640 x 480 grayscale, nothing else. I tried to change the settings, but those are the only options.
    I have a 3DFX Voodoo 2 and a TwinTurbo 128. Do I need drivers? Does the MDD not support video cards in the PCI slots? What's wrong with this picture?

    For what it's worth, here's a few quotes:
