Is the ATI X1900XT 256MB Or 512MB!

Can someone please tell me how much memory comes on the x1900xt? on Apple's website it's listed with 512MB, on ATI's website it's listed with 256MB. In addition, can I use the X1900XTX or the X1950XT with the Mac Pro?
Thank you very much...
Mac Pro Dual 2.66 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

The ATI X1900XT card

the ATI X1900XT card ....is that good for video production..
or the n-vidia...geforce 7300 gt
and do u think fcp will be that much faster with the new mac pro quad 3ghz

While I'm sure FCP is fine with a Nvidia 7300GT I do refer to the entire FCS suite of applications which includes the blood-sucking Motion 2. Regardless, in a video production scenario I would always recommend the most GPU performance you can buy, similarly the most drive size and performance. But hey… that's me.

Anybody got the ATi X1900XT yet? Is it loud?

Hi,
Iwas just wondering if anyone's recieved their Ati Radeon X1900XT graphics card yet?
I've just ordered one and i'm looking at 6 weeks plus but i'm more interested on users opinions of the card, mainly how noisy or loud the card is?
If it's loud like past Ati cards i've had (AGP 9800 for example) it would be too noisy for me and i would probably cancel the card.
Thanks.

Dead quiet? I have an ATI X1900XTX in my quiet PC (quiet case, fans, cpu cooler, etc) and with the stock cooler, it was very noticible even when runing idle. When cranked up with Half Life 2 it sounded like a friggin dust buster. If everything else about the PC wasn't quiet, I doubt I'd notice it so much.
I quickly bought an Arctic Accelero X2 GPU cooler and its VERY quiet now.

The Arctic cooler does add height to the card. I haven't verified whether it will fit in the Mac Pro.

Is the ATI X1900XT noisy ?

To all of you lucky gents out there with your X1900XT, is the card more noisy than the 7300 ?
Thanks

Hmmm kind of strange says no display. Is this normal 30 inch cinema . I do hear the fan kick in at startup. When I first installed I did not hook up the power connector and the Mac pro told me to do that so went back in and did that

Is the ATI Radeon HD 4870 512mb Graphics card good

I'm thinking about getting a new mac pro and i've been looking a this graphic card and i've also been reading comments about this card and just wondering is this card good at all.

I don't want to sound like a jerk but don't want people to wast their money because
You said
"If you have a 2006-07 mac pro, and want the most power you can get, crossfire two flashed pc 4870s."
That is wrong because a 2006-2007 mac pro only has ONE PCI.1.1 X16 slot you can only make it so you have two X8 slots or one X16 & one X8 To get anything from a CrossFire or SLI setup using any PCI X16 card you need two card slots that are X16.
I do agree & know if you have a 2006-2007 mac pro, then yes the apple 4870 is most likely the best you can get, besides going a flashing route. (I don't like to flash & the 4870 WORKS IN THE 2007 Mac Pro)
I have a 2,1. Mac Pro 8 Core 2007 & just got the New 2009 8 Core with 2.93 GHz Duel CPUs & I got the new GTX 285 came in the mail before the Mac Pro I got the 4870 from the 2009 to work in the 2007. But I have not tried the GTX 285 in the 2007 as the drivers have to be loaded from the disk that comes with it first & I did not take the time to do that & had the reformat the 2009 after trying to put the GTX 285 in the 2009 I found myself removing the 4870 I had just put in the 2007 then back in the 2009 then reinstall OS X 10.5.7 after that loading the driver disk from the GTX 285 first in the 2009 before placing the card the new Mac.
So I will when I have less work try the GTX 285 in the 2007 Mac Pro & let you know what happens.
I hope I was of Help

OpenGL not working with Photoshop CS4 on MacPro + ATI X1900XT

Hi,
i am running a MacPro 2x2 2.66 Ghz with 12GB Ram, an ATI X1900 XT 512MB and a GeForce 7300GT. The ATI is in Slot 1. Connected to the ATI card is an Apple CD 30", connected to the GeForce is an Apple CD 23" and a Sanyo TV-LCD.
*The problem:* when running Photoshop CS4 (Beta) i can not enable OpenGL as Photoshop does not recognise any video card (selectable under PSCS4/Preferences/Performance/...).
Adobe says in a TechNote (http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb405711&sliceId=1#mac) that this card should be working. The ROM of the ATI is up-to-date.
What - or where - else could i change something to get this to work? Any hint?
Thank you.

Like some of the other posters, I have a MacPro with two video cards, the ATI X1900XT and the OEM graphics card. I bought the ATI to drive a 30" display. I have been using the OEM card to drive the Wacom. When I learned of bird's eye view in CS4, I too looked in preferences for the OpenGL status and found it disabled. Following the above suggestions regarding the potential two card confusion, I moved the Wacom to the remaining open spot on the X1900XT and removed the OEM card.
Voila! OpenGL became available in CS4 preferences and I also noticed a significant improvement in the screen redraw rate (I went into the advanced options when turning OpenGL on and also checked use for image drawing). Bird's eye view is also an excellent feature which I will use constantly. Note: To use bird's eye you must hold down the "H" key (even if the hand tool is selected). While holding the "H", start to drag the mouse and the image will zoom out to show you where you are in the scaled down image. Makes the Navigator view obsolete.

"solarization" w/ ATI X1900xt Card in Aperture (RAW only)

I have installed the ATI x1900xt card and have a solarization issue with images in the Canon .CR2 RAW format. JPG images are fine.
This started happening soon after the upgrade to Leopard 10.5.2.
I had done a re-install of Aperture to bring it back to 2.0 but still had the problem (and upgraded back to 2.1.1)
I run dual cards, and have the GeForce 7300 as secondary (the ATI x1900 as my main card)
If I run just the GeForce 7300, I have no issues, the issue is only present with the x1900. Even with the latest upgrade to 10.5.5, there is no 'fix.
If I move the Aperture window to a monitor running off the GeForce 7300, minimize and then maximize so that Aperture runs off that card, no problems.
Anyone else having this issue and know of a fix other than buying a different video card. I just bought the ATI x1900 4 months ago and can't afford to just buy another one.

The release of Leopard 10.5.6 has solved this issue, within the release notes is reference to Graphics updates to increase speed and stability within Aperture.

Do I need to buy another ATI x1900xt?

It seems that the ATI x1900xt is the best card in it's price rage to work with color effectively for professional use? yes?
Well, after a year has passed, my $400 card just broke, just like everyone else. Apple sells this card knowing its a faulty card, with it's over heating flaws, and glitchy behavior. How many cards does a post color guy have to buy? One a year? No warranty for the after market sale. I would have to buy a whole new computer with the crappy ATI graphics card with the additional warranty, so I may be able to go to Apple ever 6-12 months to replace the card without cost.
When will Apple feel responsible and make the color software fully compatible with a DECENT graphics card, so little struggling post facilities like mine will sleep well at night knowing my freaking computer monitor will actually stay on?
My fellow Apple lovers, Color is arguably the best software Apple has. Is there no other affordable card to buy? Any news for a better card for the future?

It's not the card preventing you from playing realtime uncompressed HD, it's disk speed.
Right the first time.
Here's some numbers: 1080i29.97 10-bit 4:2:2 requires a sustained throughput of 155MBytes/sec. Thats Bytes. Times 8 for bits, so 1.24 Gigabits/sec. eSATA is supposed to deliver that, but I've never seen it.
I use a Quad FibreChannel RAID3 side-by side dual MediaVault and have never dropped a frame.
In point of fact, the PCI bus isn't fast enough to support uncompressed HD, so everything is done proxy to DVI displays, and everything full scale has to happen on a dedicated card, like the KONA on PCIe.
So, given these numbers, why is it that COLOR can't achieve full frame-rate playback and takes so long to render? Well, let's take another look at those figures...

Apple lowers price of ATI X1900XT

Apple has lowered the price of the ATI X1900XT from $350 to $250 when ordering it with a new Mac Pro....When ordering a stand alone version, it's still $399.
Dual 1.42 Mac OS X (10.4.3) MacBook Pro 17", 2.16

Low and behold, aren't those Apple people nice?
I too received an email announcing the reduction in price and the adjustment of my billing. No change in delivery date tho' (September 26th....)

Airport & ATI X1900XT

My airport has stopped working after installing the ati x1900xt. It can still see the networks, but gives me an error while trying to join - and if it rarely joins a network it can get an internet connection...
Anyone else tried thies (and hopefully solved this)
Best regards
Anders

Well… I guess you can try the usual suspects… reset PRAM and the SMC. Additionally try removing the network profile (and it's password from the Keychain) and see if that helps.

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...

Which monitor to buy for the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro w/256MB?

Has anyone successfully hooked an LCD through the DVI port at a resolution other than the 1920x1200 max resolution stated on the ATI box? Would a native resolution of 1680x1050 work with this card?
I was thinking about getting the Gateway FPD2185W monitor. Has anyone else had good results with this monitor?

I have settled on the Gateway FPD2185W. This is a great 21" widescreen, and the ATI card handles the pivot capability very nicely. It's not automatic like on a PC but it does work.

256mb and 512mb on graphics card

hello, i was curious to know how big of a performance jump is from the 256mb to 512mb w/ the new graphics card? right now, i am leaning towards the ati for obvious reasons, as we all have read about. but, i am also thinking about the future and think (or hope) apple will resovle the issue.
also, does anyone know if this is someone that can be fixed with an update or is a new card needed?
thx

I upgraded my video card to the 256 MB ATI 2600 XT and I am quite pleased with the performance over the base card that came with my 2.66 GHz Mac Pro. The performance of the memory card will probably be determine on which applications you will be running. Since I'm not running any games, 256 MB on the graphics card seems to be fine with me.

ATI Radeon HD 4870 512MB

Does anyone know if 1 ATI Radeon HD 4870 512MB uses how much power, because in the new Mac Pro (early 2009) it can't use more than 300W of graphics power consumption. So, i am thinking of getting 4 of those ATI Radeon HD 4870 512MB graphics cards (because i'm a real gamer) and stick them all into my new Mac Pro (early 2009)but if it does exceed 300W, then would anyone suggest a powerful gaming graphics card that is both compatible with Mac and Windows as i am planning to get windows vista on boot camp. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512MB is said to be a very crappy graphics card so i'm saying NO WAY!! to the NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512MB.

Get what you need for OS X, then get a PC card just for Windows. The GT120 might do normal things in OS X and grab whatever you want.... there is 75W and two aux power connectors of 75W each. GTX 275 Nvidia or something perhaps.

Display shift with ATi X1900XT

OK… it's my turn to ask a question and have a problem. In actual fact is less a problem than a big annoyance.
What is happening is that when I either boot, reboot or come out of sleep, the entire displayed image/desktop is shifted 1 pixel both up and to the left. The simplest way to tell is that the top left corner isn't rounded like the top right corner because it's chopped off by 1 pixel each way.
I can however rectify it by turning my display off then back on again else resetting the display to default via the OSD. This can get hugely annoying as one could imagine.
Anyone else get this problem with or without an ATi X1900XT?
By the way, I'm using a Dell 2405FPW 24" display although I doubt it's the display as it's be working fine with both a Mac mini and a PowerBook.

Ned you have a tough one here
LOL!! Why is it always my problems that are the tough ones. I would have thought it would be fairer if we shared them.
As for your suggestions, I didn't think of trying a lower, yet "incorrect", resolution though I'll give it a shot after I finish installing Windows… for the 100th time . Hmmm… I'll see if it does it in Windows too.
Like you, I think the issue is either with the card or the driver although right now I'm leaning towards the driver. I've still got to install Mac OS X on another driver so I'll see if it happens there as well.
To anyone else, if you wouldn't mind taking 2 seconds to have a look at the top left of your display the next time you reboot to see if I'm the only one with this. Thank you!

Is the ATI X1900XT 256MB Or 512MB!
