Is it possible to special order a new graphics cards for Mac Pro?

I'd like to get either the ATI Radeon HD 4870, 5770, or 5870 for my Mac Pro. I can buy directly from Apple or other retailers, but I have RZ points and a gift card that I would like to put toward the purchase. Any chance either via the website, or by calling in that I can place an order for in-store pickup or delivery?
Thanks in advance!

If the product is in inventory, yes, you can call to place an order for these items.
A quick glance shows the 5770 is available from Best Buy. I haven't checked the rest.
You can use your Reward Zone points (per the Reward Zone policies) on this purchase.
If the item is available to ship to or pick up at the store, you could do that just the same as any other item.
1-888-BEST-BUY, tell the operator what you wish to do and they will transfer you to .com sales.

Any recommendations for a new Graphics card for Mac Pro?

Any recommendations for a new Graphics card for mac pro edit in Premiere 2014 and I need to have output to a monitor my current graphics card is ATI Radeon HD Graphics 5870 1024 MB I find better for what I need?

Upgrade RAM to 16GB or new graphics card for Macbook Pro?

I edit very large photos daily in Photoshop CC, each photo around 25mb, with the finished PSD file at 300-500mb. I also have a dual-monitor display. There's a tiny bit of lag whenever more than one or two programs are open, and when I'm editing the screens will freeze for 10 seconds every minute or so. Is this a RAM issue, or do I just need a more powerful graphics card to power two displays? I'm a college student on a budget and want to keep this as cheap as possible. I've seen 16GB RAM on Amazon for $150, which is a stretch but doable. I don't know anything about graphics cards. Also, how would I go about installing either?

The correct RAM specifications for a 2012 13" MBP are: 204-pin PC3-12800 (1600 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM.
The most reliable sources of Mac compatible RAM are OWC and Crucial.
Look at this video which shows hoe to install RAM in your MBP:

Any recommendations for a new Graphics card for Prem Pro 2014 (Windows) that offers Mercury Playback Engine GPU acceleration?

Hi.
I am led to believe I could benefit from GPU acceleration when editing as my PC is a little under spec. I do have a card but when I switch to GPU acceleration it does work but every time I stop moving / playing / scrubbing on the timeline the preview screen goes black.
I am not sure which might be the best card to obtain for my reqs. I dont think I put the biggest of demands on the software but it does still struggle. Most of my editing is 3 - 10 min long interviews. 2 camera multi-cam editing. I invariably have need to edit RGB curves, three way colour corrector, transitions and sometimes Neat noise reduction. Any of those leaves my PC struggling. All the usual titles, music & voice-overs etc but nothing too heavy going like making films or inserting lots of video lines.
I also do an occasional bit of work in After effects too.
PC spec is:
Intel Xeon CPU 1.86GHz (2 processors)
12GB RAM which I am going to upgrade to 16GB
64 bit op system
Windows 7
Radeon HD 5450 graphics card.
Any guidance would be much appreciated

Thanks for insight. I am not technical but I suspect your right about the base technology of my PC. The processors and RAM (even if I upgrade) are probably too limited. I was not so sure about the relationship between the main processor and the graphic card. I rather hoped that the card would get round the limitations of the CPU's.
I maybe need to invest some time looking in to improving the spec of my PC. Any thoughts on a suitable spec from anyone would be helpful bearing in mind my relatively narrow editing needs.
Even so I will look at the GTX 660 and see what it might offer. The only reason I thought the 5450 might offer GPU acceleration was because the option was available to select in the preferences in PremPro. Figured it wouldn't be an option otherwise. Certainly doesnt seem to work correctly or offer any advantage so gone back to software only.
This is not going to be a quick or inexpensive resolution by the looks of it :-)
Thanks again for input.

Which New Graphic Card For 2008 Mac Pro?

I'm going to buy Final Cut X, so I'll need a new graphic card for my 2008 MacPro. My current card is an ATI Radeon HD 2600.
I asked AppleCare and they sent me a link to a lot of compatible cards (copied below).
But it turns out that most of these cards need Windows - at least according to specs - and the rest don't have the (2) DVI-D connections I need - so which card should I buy?
The card has to work with my 2 Acer P243W 24" screens at 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz.
Here's Apple's list:
•    NVIDIA
o    GeForce 320M
o    GeForce GT 330M
o    GeForce 9400M
o    GeForce 9600M GT
o    GeForce 8600M GT Note: OpenCL compatible, but does not meet system requirements for Final Cut Pro X, Motion 5 and Compressor.
o    GeForce GT 120
o    GeForce GT 130
o    GeForce GTX 285
o    GeForce 8800 GT
o    GeForce 8800 GS
o    Quadro FX 4800
o    Quadro FX5600
•    ATI
o    Radeon HD 4670
o    Radeon HD 4850
o    Radeon HD 4870
o    Radeon HD 5670
o    Radeon HD 5750
o    Radeon HD 5770

Once you look at what is sold, limits the list. None of those listed require Windows though. What specs? I don't see any specs. And of course nothing listed are Windows, that would be strange. Why you pasted notebook and iMac graphic adapters... unless Apple is selling FCPX for Windows.
Forget the GT120 though some use it with FCPX and are okay with it, save a little though I think 5770 has more processing, bandwidth and of course 1GB DDR5.
support for 6870 PC card is looking like a possible option now, too.
It is more mainly just 5770 vs 5870. Or Quadro 4000.
Amazon has PNY Mac Pro edition $790 vs Apple's $1195 for same card
PNY Quadro 4000 2 GB DDR5 Mac Pro
When FCX came out we had a couple threads on same topic.

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.

New Graphics card for P965 Platinum

My good old P965 Platinum has lost its graphics card lately and I need to look for a replacement.
The old graphics card was an ATI X1950 XTX 512MB and has stood up well considering the vast advances in everything since then.
The problem is compatability since all new cards these days are PCI Express 3.
Does anyone have any recommendations on what newer graphics cards would work on this motherboard (if any)?

We had excellent results with GTS450 and GTX460 on MSI P965 Platinum.
But they are PCI-E 2.0 graphic cards.
You may also try GTX 650 and GTX 660, but it may fail in case of BIOS/VBIOS incompatibilities.
In any case, you need a good (single rail) PSU (at least 450W for real).
The additional PCI-E power connector is a must, because the PCI-E 1.0 slot cannot provide the power for a PCI-E 2.1 and 3.0 graphics card.

Creating A New Boot Drive For Mac Pro Desktop

I have a Mac Pro 1,1 using Lion:
I would like to create a new and bigger boot drive but having not done this before I would appreciate any direction that would make this as painless as possible. I will continue to use Lion but am a little lost when it comes to doing this with the download process of Lion as well as transferring what has been created on the current HD in the MacPro. I have a new WD Black 2 TB SATA that I would like to use as the new boot drive. Again, thank you for the help.

Don't. Use. 2TB for system. Seriously.
Use that for data.
Get yourself a $89 Samsung 840 120GB instead along with Icy Dock $15. You will. Love it.
You don't need a large drive for the system. All you need to do is MOVE all the data and media files and every thing else, just leave the small 4GB /Users/myuseraccount/Library on the boot drive with the OS and apps. Everything else gets off loaded.
Leave your drive you ahve now as is for backup. Move data and clone the system.

New Graphics Card for DKA790-GX Platinum

Hi guys, looking for some advice on a discreet graphics card solution for my DKA790-GX Platinum PC build. I've just purchased a new 27" LED monitor (not arrived yet) that natively runs 1920 x1080 and my friend told me that the inbuilt Radeon HD 3300 graphics in the 790GX chipset will struggle with that resolution ?
Now first, I should explain I don't play games on the PC at all, but am a photographer, so regularly use Photoshop CS 5, Lightroom 4, Nikon Capture NX2 etc, and also play a few DVD and Blue ray movies though the PC. Because of this I'm not after a full blown graphics card, as to be honest, I want to spend the minimum possible, but obviously want a meaningful performance increase over the in built graphics.
Something else to throw in the mix is that I'm currently running without the side port memory enabled in Bios, as whenever I do enable it, I get corrupted graphics within a few seconds and eventually a BSOD. Without the side port enabled, it runs fine on my current 22" Monitor running 1680 * 1050.
My set up currently consists of the above motherboard, an AMD Phenom Black X4 940 3.0ghz black edition processor (not overclocked), 8gb Crucial Ballastix DDR2 PC2-6400 Ram, DVD re-write and Blue ray player / DVD burner. OCZ 256mb SSD boot drive and WD Cavier 2TB 7200 rpm HDD. 700w Power supply.
Do you think my friend is right or will the Radeon HD3300 be fine for my purposes ?
Any advice gratefully appreciated.

To the original question, for a non gaming environment, do you think the HD 3300 (with or without Side port) would be man enough to run 1920 * 1080 ?

Trying to find a new Graphics card for G4 Quicksilver Dual 1 ghtz

Hello All,
I am looking to upgrade my video card for gaming purposes. I have been doing research and thought I had found a card I could use. Then I researched more, and confused myself. There comes a point when one must ask
So I have the Geforce 4 MX right now and want to upgrade. At first I read that the ATI 3850 AGP would be a nice card to use, though I don't think it will work in my machine. I then came across the ATI 2600 XT. I also see that the 9800 pro is good. Then I hear about flashing....help?
So my questions are:
What is the best card that I can put in my trusty ole G4 Quicksilver?
A rough price range perhaps? Would I need to add a fan, or is the fan that comes on the graphics card sufficient?
Should I look solely at flashed cards, and if so would I flash it myself or buy one that is flashed already?
I am looking at spending no more than $200 on a card, is that a good amount for a card? It seems like it it isn't the top, but will do pretty good at buying a decent card.
I really appreciate these forums, and have read quite a bit here. But once I start researching I soon find myself reading about other interesting things (since there is so much great information here) and 2 hours later I remember why I came here in the first place.
Thanks in advance,
Etin
Specs:
G4 Quicksilver Dual 1ghtz
1.5 GB ram
AGP
Apple Cinema Display
(let me know if you need more information)

Ok, no answers huh?
Well, I purchased a ATI 9800 Pro Mac Edition.
*_A warning_*, if you have an Apple Cinema Display check the connection type. If it is an older display, you probably have a ADC connection. The newer models have a DVI connection. Make sure the video card has that type of connection on it or you will have to buy a ADC to DVI converter from Apple. This costs $99.00.
When purchasing a video card keep this in mind and add this to the price you will be paying to use the video card.
Thanks for the wonderful help.

New Nvidia Quadro/GeForce Drivers for OS X 10.8.5 (12F45) + CUDA Update
Monday's news had a report from a Mac Pro owner that the (Sept. 19th) Nvidia Driver Update for OS X 10.8.5 (12F37) were broken by the OS X 10.8.5 Supplemental Update (12F45). Wednesday he sent a FYI on another driver update. (Popup from the previous install's web check I assume.)
"New Nvidia driver for 10.8.5 Supplemental restores functionality
Recently I send you a mail, describing a problem with Nvidia drivers (for build 12F37) after updating to the latest supplemental OS update (12F45).
Yesterday, a friendly window popped up, asking me to download a new Nvidia Geforce driver. After finishing, I can use the NVidia driver again within 10.8.5. (12F45)
Just for completion.
Kind regards, Jörg"
Thanks Jörg. After getting his mail I checked the Nvidia drivers download page again and there is now a new update available (as well as a later Cuda version). See Quadro & GeForce Mac OS X (12F45) Driver Release 313.01.03f02 which also refers to a later CUDA driver - v5.5.25. (Driver page's Additional Info tabs have install info.) '
GTX from EVGA is a 680, but some do go for a PC version 670.

New ATI cards in Mac Pro

This may seem somewhat off-topic, but I am wondering if the new cards require monitors with higher refresh rates to be fully effective? I have a 4 year-old monitor that has a 60 hertz refresh rate. My Pro has the standard Nvidia 120. Does an ATI 4870, or a 5770 or 5780 need a 120 or 240 refresh rate?

Would there be any advantage to getting a new monitor with a higher refresh rate?
Hi,
as long as your 'old' one is serving you well, I would say no.
Of course, there are some people who consider 60Hz on a TFT-display as not enough, since they are indeed capable to recognize some sort of faint flickering due to the refresh rate.
If don't have this problem (I know that I don't) theres no need for higher refresh rates.
One thing to consider although is what connections your old display offers.
I know of some TFT-displays which only have a VGA (= analog) connection and don't have any digital connection like DVI or DisplayPort.
Since the video-signal has to be converted twice when using VGA (from digital-to-analog in the graphics card and then back again from analog-to-digital in the display) this usually degrades the video-signal to some extent.
Especially when using higher resolution (1280x1024 and above) it is very advisable to use digitial video-connections.
Oh, and not forgetting the wanting of a bigger display with a higher resolution.
Ever since I have the 27" iMac with its 2560x1440 resolution I see my 20" (1600x1200) with different eyes than before
Regards
Stefan

Looking for a new graphics card for new display

I recently purchased a 24" LCD monitor to increase my screen real estate. I was anticipating using the DVI connection on the monitor, but found out that the connection I have on the PM G4 Dual 1GHz is an ADC connector instead. Presently I'm using it in analog mode which works fine, but in anticipation of Leopard, I was planning on upgrading my video card (GeForce 4 MX, 64MB VRAM) with one that will support CoreImage, as this one doesn't. In addition, this monitor can pivot to 90 degrees in a portrait orientation, and I would like a card that supports this feature as well.
I tried my PowerBook G4 1.5 GHz with its ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 card, and find it supports CoreImage as well as screen rotation--just what I was hoping for. It works like a charm with the new display. I just need to find out what 4x AGP desktop cards support these features. Any suggestions? I appreciate your input.

No new OS updates for Mac Pro 2.1.

I'm wanting to use FCPX on my MacPro 2.1 3Ghz and the last update I've been able to get was 10.5.x and I think i need 10.6.x (sorry I'm not in front of my Mac right now)
Any work arounds on this?

You have reached the end of your ability to update 10.5 for free, and will have to buy a new DVD for 10.6 to upgrade to the 10.6 Snow Leopard level. Luckily, it is not very expensive (US$20, free shipping).
