IMac, OpenGL, ATI Radeon

I noticed that on the +Adobe After Effects+ page for supported OpenGL cards that the iMac offered graphics card, the *ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO*, is not supported.
http://www.adobe.com/products/aftereffects/opengl.html
Does anyone have an iMac and use Adobe After Effects on the Mac OS? What are the limitations or inability to use After Effects smoothly?

I think you will have better luck with your question at http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bc24292/
I also found this: "Yes, the 2600 supports all the Open GL 2.0 functions that AE likes. Make sure you update to AE 8.0.1 or 8.0.2 which enables OpenGL on the Mac." in the After Effects forum.

Wondering if I should return my un-opened iMac with ATI Radeon 4850??

Just got my iMac with the ATI Radeon 4850 and wondering if I should return because of all the problems I have been reading about and just go to an Apple store and get the iMac with a GT 130.
I haven't opened it yet, will Apple charge me a restocking fee? And will Apple pay for return shipping if I mention the reason I am returning is all the issues I have been reading about concerning the 4850?
Any opinions will be appreciated!!

I would not base my decision on what I read in the forum. People who have issues generally post topics and replies to report problems. All the people who are having no problems will not bother to post to say +everything is fine and I'm happy+.
You should contact Apple directly to find out their policy on returns, and whether it makes a difference if you opened the package or not.

IMac w/ ATI Radeon HD 4850 512MB

I'm about to order a new iMac but i have a few questions about the graphics capabilities. I'm a long time PC gamer but decided i want to make the full switch to Mac. Ideally a MacPro would have been my first choice but im not that rich.
I intend to order an iMac with the ATI Radeon HD 4850 512MB. Will this card handle games pretty well? I play world of warcraft and EVE online.
Thanks for your input.

only issue here is that EVE for mac has a graphics bug because of driver issues... I dont know if this applies to the ATI iMacs, but it sure affects my Nvidia iMac. And this is a bug that have been present since EVE was released for mac, and Apple are aware of the problem, but has yet to fix it. So if I ever play EVE for more than background playing or in station use, I always restart into bootcamp, to play EVE there...

AE CS6, Imac and Ati Radeon HD 6750M

Hi there,
I'd like to know for sure if my HD6750M (512VRAM) is well recognized by AE, including the OpenGL/OpenCL infos because I have serious doubt about that when
I look at the GPU info in AE, for example the shader model is greyed (it's the "modèles d'ombrages" option in french) ,
this could explained why it 's very slow to navigate in the time line, as the preview too
Please let me know what to think about it ?

thanx for your reply but that is not what I understand in the above link,
it seems related to the ray traced engine which is only for 3D extrusion I believe :
Optional: Graphics card from list below with at least 1GB VRAM and CUDA 5.0 for GPU acceleration of ray-traced 3D renderer
This is not my concern here & it doesnt really answer my question :
does AE "see" my GPU as it should for OpenGL /OpenCL and why is the shader model option grey out ?
PS : I totally understand that my GPU is really not optimum for a sofware like AE, but as I said before I have to understand what's going on here.

Mouse skip imac 27 (ATI Radeon HD 5750) and second monitor

Hi
Yesterday i bought a new mousepad and a second monitor
I noticed that i had some trouble with my mouse skipping around the monitor, and my first thought was for my mousepad texture, but is not that
this morning i tried:
- with different surfaces, but with no luck - still skipping around
- try different mouse: a small laptop mouse - still skipping around
- try different mouse: old mighty mouse (USB) - still skipping around (it is also very slow even a top speed)
- then i try different USB ports - still skipping around
after that i thought at yesterday changes... since the mac is new, i did install some different software and A NEW MONITOR
so i tried to unplug the new monitor and the mouse works fine.... i actually got a little worried
i did plug the monitor again, turn it back on and everything worked... turn monitor off and mouse skips around
SO.. the problem is that with a second monitor pluged in but turned off, mouse get crazy

IMac ATI Radeon HD Graphics Firmware Update 1.0.1

http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/imacatiradeonhdgraphicsfirmwareupdate101. html
I have a 24inch imac with ATI Radeon HD 2600, ROM Revision: 113-B2250F-219.
Upon trying to install the update, it says my computer doesn't need it, even though it looks like my rom is older than the version in the update (113-B2250L-259).

according to ASP on my 20inch iMac Alum;
ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT:
Chipset Model: ATI,RadeonHD2400
Type: Display
Bus: PCIe
PCIe Lane Width: x16
VRAM (Total): 128 MB
Vendor: ATI (0x1002)
Device ID: 0x94c8
Revision ID: 0x0000
ROM Revision: 113-B2250A-207
EFI Driver Version: 01.00.207
And the installer does not continue at all but just say that I do not need the update...

Windows 7 not recognising ATI Radeon HD 5670

Ok, so I have installed Windows 7 32bit, to play SIMS 3. Now the apparent video card should be able to handle it.
The problem is that it only recognizes it as a standard VGA card. I have downloaded the Catalyst ATI Drivers with no joy.
Any advice or suggestions?

Fixed it! Had the same problem too. Windows 7 32bit mid-2010 iMac with ATI Radeon 5670 an all it would show was a vga-adapter, tried everything imaginable as well as trying XP but same problem existed. The graphics card just wouldn't install - windows of varying versions just thought i had next to nothing an nothing would persuade them otherwise but sussed it!
THE SOLUTION - yes there is one - is the same as for the black screen problem at install. In the updates released for bootcamp, one is for iMacs from mid-2010 which would display only a black screen at startup instead of loading. Now mine didn't do this but I figured it was the same basic problem with a graphics card. Follow the instruction and low-and-behold it works perfectly first time!
You'll need to reinstall Windows 7 but worth it. Apple's Article which fixes it: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3173
Good luck all!

ATI Radeon HD 5750 1GB -- Good for GIS?

Looking for new Mac workstation to run QuantumGIS, considering 27-inch 3.2GHz with upgraded graphics and 8GB RAM.
Are owners of iMac with ATI Radeon HD 5750 1GB impressed with graphics performance?
Anyone else going GIS work on an iMac?

That Radeon card is MORE than powerful enough for GIS.

OpenGL 2 drivers for ATI Radeon X600 Pro ?

Help!
I play Second Life, and their latest upgrade 1.14.0 which is about to become compulsory is expecting drivers for OpenGL 2, and this version definitely has big problems with the ATI Radeon X600 Pro video card in my iMac G5 iSight, and will make the game virtually unplayable, and mess up my inworld businesses there.
Since this card is not listed on the ATI site, I guess we have to wait for Apple to update drivers. Are they going to soon, or do we have to wait for Leopard?
I thought Leopard was first quarter, that leaves one day left lol.

This is a fresh OS install on an external HD from my original 10.4.2 disks, and then Software Updated to 10.4.9. There are no outstanding software updates.
From System Profiler:
OpenGL:
Version: 1.4.7
Last Modified: 01/10/2005 05:13
Get Info String: OpenGL 1.4.7.14.0
And yet I have seen Core Duo Macs list OpenGL 2. Is there a problem with the Updater, or can a 14 month old iMac G5 with ATI Radeon X600 Pro not be updated to OpenGL 2?

I have a problem with Imac mid 2010 graphics card (ATI Radeon 5670 512MB)

I have a problem with Imac mid 2010 graphics card (ATI Radeon 5670 512MB). When I play video formats like xvid, mkv, avi iMac freezes and emits horrible sound,in service said the problem is not overheating. Not a problem with memory or hard disk because I placed second correct parts.The same problem is with OSX 10.6.8 and 10.8.4 and other players.Apple hardware test found no problem and tech tool pro found no fault.
After five days of testing in the service they can not found fault and it was decided to change the graphics card.
New graphics have been tested for two days but it is not reproduced divx ... but their test software which did not find any fault on the old graphics...
Do I have the right to complain if repair does not fix the problem because I use non apple softwere and video formats.

You could look at the System Profile for the info it presents for the card. But why wouldn't you think it's not up to date if you have the latest install (according to your sig above)?
What program are you trying to run? Is there anything in the system log?
I think it's the program that's having the problem and not anything with your video software.

IMac and video card ATI Radeon HD 4850

Using my iMac 24"/3.06/SD with OSX 10.6 and trying to access Final Cut Express, it tells me I need an AGP video card! Why isn't the ATI Radeon HD 4850 able to display FCE? It operates all my other Apple software. Please, has anyone an idea about this?

I have been looking for someone with the same or similar problem as mine to no avail
Ok so heres my problem...a few months ago i noticed that the screen saver had frozen on my G4 mac
At the time i didn't think anything of it so i try to reboot but it wouldn't get any further than the "Blue" screen after weeks of trouble shooting, reading through logs and surfing what felt like 90% of the net i tracked it down to the "ATI Radeon9700 Extensions" in my system folder.
As you can see from above i have a "ATI Radeon 9800 PRO" and i presume that it runs off the 9700 drivers because there are no 9800 extenstions in the driver updates from ATI....
Anyway this is the strange bit ....if i boot up in "Safe Mode" and delete all the "ATI Radeon9700 Extenstions" below
ATIRadeon9700.kext
ATIRadeon9700DVDDriver.bundle
ATIRadeon9700GA.plugin
ATIRadeon9700GLDriver.bundle
ATIRadeon9700VADriver.bundle
Then trash...
Extensions.kextcache
Extensions.mkext
Then put a new copy of the "Radeon9700 Extensions" from the 10.4.8 upgrade back in, it boots fine.
These extensions come with the apple OS updates so everytime i upgrade the OS i have to go through the above steps again.
I am starting to think that the openGL capabilities of my card is fooked because the screensaver that im talking about is "Flurry" and it is really jerky now if i try to run it
I know that the SS users openGL
Also if i try and launch UT2k4 i get a crash log error of "unable to create pixel format.
This is what the boot up log looks like before i trash the extensions

Upgrade MacPro1,1 with ATI Radeon X1900 XT 512 MB and Open GL 1.7.7. to recommended system requirements for heli simulator: OpenGL Version 2.1 compatible 3D-graphics card from NVIDIA or ATI with 512MB.

I want to install a helicopter simulator into my MacPro1,1 with ATI Radeon X1900 XT 512 MB and Open GL 1.7.7. Recommended system requirements for the heli simulator are: OpenGL Version 2.1 compatible 3D-graphics card from NVIDIA or ATI with 512MB (at least as fast as NVIDIA 8600, 9400 or ATI Radeon HD 2400). Is there such a graphics card available that will work in my Mac Pro?

Are you really still running 10.6.3? you will need 10.6.5+ so do that and make a clone.
ATI 5770 from Apple Store - like 1000s of others have done and in the comments section on the store page.

I have an 20 inch Imac 2,4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and I want to introduce Final Cut Pro X into the machine, can I change the Vieodcard ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB, into a more suitable videocard? Or is that not possible?

I have an 20 inch Imac 2,4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and I want to introduce Final Cut Pro X into the machine. Can I change the present Videocard ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB, into a more suitable videocard? Or is that not possible? I have upgraded the memory to 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.

The GPU in a iMac is NOT upgradeable.
You should check to see if your model of iMac meets the minimum specs to run FCPX.
I believe that your GPU is NOT OpenCL capable, and hence not supported.
Even if it works, you would probably get marginal performance.
What you can do is download the trial version and see how (and if) it works.
