K9VGM-V and KFA GeForce 9400 GT

Well I've had this PC awhile, got a K9VGM-V motherboard and now I'm trying to install a KFA GeForce 9400 GT so I can play some video games XD
Anyways I load up the comp and I hear some ticking and then it finally goes, then when I get in and try to install the drivers it tells me something like a compatible hardware couldn't be found. And when I go to hardware wizard it also doesn't find it. I've looked around and it seems like there's some conflict with VIA chipset an PCI-E 2.0 graphics cards or something, anyways that's the situation I'm in and wondering what I need to do to get this to work. Thanks,

MSI K9VGM-V Bios 1.0
AMD Athlon XP X2 4400+
2*1 GB Corsair DDR2 RAM
320 GB Western Digital Sata HDD
450W PSU
Windows XP Pro SP3
I think those are the specs offhand. If I unplug my monitor and plug it into the graphics card I get a black screen, but while unplugged I get a no signal message, so apparently I'm getting a signal from the graphics card it's just not sending anything. As I said before when I try and install drivers from the CD it tells me something like no compatible hardware found, and when I run the device wizard or check device manager there's no mention of this new graphics card. No I haven't disabled the onboard vga in bios or uninstalled the onboard vga drivers either. The drivers for the KFA GeForce 9400 GT that I've tried to install are: ForceWare 177.42 WinXP 32Bit, ForceWare 177.31 WinXP 32Bit, ForceWare 177.19 WinXP 32Bit Those are the drivers that come on the CD with the graphics card. Mostly I haven't disabled the onboard vga and uninstalled those drivers is because in the past I've always been able to install my graphics card and use display settings to switch graphics cards around and I'm a little afraid that if I uninstall and disable onboard graphics that I'll have trouble getting them back on if I can't get the graphics card working.

Does Sims 3 Pets work with Snow Leopard and NVIDIA GeForce 9400 graphics?

So I recently purchased Sims 3 Pets, because as I'm sure someone has heard, my computer met the tech specs published on the game box. But I have the problem in the game that whenever a horse appears, the game freezes. I've heard that updating Leopard (I have 10.5.8) to Snow Leopard fixes the problem. However, I've also heard that Sims 3 does not work with NVIDIA GeForce 9400 graphics. (But apparently Snow Leopard needs this graphic card to run?).
So my main question is does anyone know if Sims 3 Pets works with a NVIDIA GeForce 9400 card and Snow Leopard?

*** Just a Note: I've been playing the original Sims 3 game on my mac since it originally came out. I haven't had problems until this particular expansion pack.

I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro, I am trying to run MW3 but it will not work without crashing a few minuets into the game. The general specs on my computer are a dual processor 2.53 ghz. 4 gb ram and a NVIDIA geforce 9400 (9600 is the alternate card)

Things to note:
I have been unable to update firmware on this computer for about a year now. Im not sure why.
I am running a bootleg copy of Windows XP on this computer, I would not like to spend $149 to get Windows 7 if possible.
any thoughts on the matter would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Why don't you take your 'old' MBP into your local Apple Store and have them check out everything that's wrong with it - and I mean everything? Then, when you get an estimate about how much it would cost to get the machine completely repaired, ask about the Apple flat-rate repair pricing?
It's worth a shot - and with what you may save, you can put in the bank for a new MBP.

Is NVIDIA GeForce 9400 the same as GeForce 9400M?

Final Cut Pro X system requirements claim I need a GeForce 9400M to use the software but my Mac says I simply have a GeForce 9400. Are they essentially the same?

Hi,
Going to the Nvidia website, it is clear that they regard the 9400 and the 9400M as different. Is it only the form factor (M seems to be meant for laptops) or are there greater differences? I don't know. Mac users are usually saved from the Windows problems with driver updates, but that's another issue.
But my aging iMac does well enough with FCP X and seems to have the 9400 graphics card.
I agree, try the trial version and see what happens.

MCP7A Ultra Chipset (GeForce 9400) compatibility?

Hello all! I'm planning to purchase a new Core 2 Quad motherboard, for an Arch-based NAS server and secondary box. I was thinking of using one of the GeForce 9300/9400 integrated boards, so I would have the benefits of a video chipset without a separate card, but recently I read that this is not supported in Linux. Can anyone confirm that boards like http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Mot … uctID=2946 are viable? Even on the Nvidia site, they have the graphics drivers, but no chipset drivers for Linux.
Thanks.

Hmmm... on Nvidia's site it seems to insinuate that chipset drivers for Nforce boards (Including the GeForce 9400 ones) are included in the kernal - except for really old versions, which it seems you can download for Nforce1-4 based gear.
Any idea? I guess my key question at the moment is if I should purchase one of these boards, or a P45 based mATX.

21.5 iMac GeForce 9400 - Low Refresh Rate

Anyone have a 21.5" iMac with GeForce 9400 10.6.6? Playing the movie below, I only get about ~30 fps playback according to QuickTime Player 7's info window, and according to the frame meter in Quartz Debug. For you fellow coders, even CVDisplayLink callbacks only go at ~30 fps.
I've freshly restarted the machine, and there's nothing odd installed on the system at all. It really appears there's a hardware problem with not being able to get to 60 fps.

Could be a bad memory problem or an issue with Parallels. Try booting into Safe Mode and see if the panics cease.

NVIDIA GeForce 9400 iTunes video hiccups

On Mac OS, as soon as I start up iTunes, my video display seizes up (drops frames for a few hundred milliseconds) every 5 seconds or so, not just in iTunes playback, but across the entire display. This happens whether or not I am playing a video file. As soon as I quit iTunes, the freezes disappear. My computer is a Mac Mini with an NVIDIA GeForce 9400 video card, which I understand can be problematic with iTunes.
Here's the strange part: When I run iTunes on the Windows 7 partition of the same computer - iTunes plays files perfectly well with no freezes at all. Let me stress - the hardware is exactly the same: iTunes works for me under Windows 7, but not under Mac OS, which seems really weird!
Any advice gratefully accepted.

Looking for how to run both a Quadro 4000 and a geforce card win7 please

hello,
way back when i built the window 7 editing rig i tried to get a quadro 4000 and a geforce 9800 GT (older version) to work together to get 4 displays going
but i had stability issues so i got another quadro and never had a problem
however, reading this recent thread
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1258243?tstart=0
it sounds like users are able to mix quadro 4000 with geforce cards
using the geforce for the cuda processing and the quadro for the output
i still want to run 4 monitors (2 from the quadro 4000 and then 2 from the geforce card (open to suggestions here)
if i can mix cards now i'd like to get a geforce gpu to help out with 4k editing of a feature (probably red scarlet)
and use the quadro for 10bit output
as always positive feedback is appreciated, cheers, j

hello,
no i am still sticking with cs6 for now
and i found where i had read the instructions before
(an answer to one of my own previously asked questions):
Install Quadro Driver full installation via Wizard.
Decompress Geforce Driver latest version but do not run Wizard install.
Manually update Geforce Card driver via Device manager by pointing to Nvidia/Geforce folder
Launch Nvidia Control Panel and set the GPU Acceleration to Geforce card only.

i guess this wraps this one up

Geforce 9400 vs. 9400M

My Mac Mini late 2009 should have the NVIDIA Geforce 9400M graphics card. Instead only the 9400 is shown in "about this Mac". I have reasons to assume that certain problems are connected to the 9400. Why do I not have the 9400M - or is it simply displayed incorrectly in the "About this Mac"?

Per this
Re: Is NVIDIA GeForce 9400 the same as GeForce 9400M?
They seem to be the same except in form factory. M is for mobile applications which is used on the Mini

Where can I find a NVDIA GeForce 9400 driver upgrade?

imac9.1 is continually crashing. The problem report is indicating it is in "com.apple.GeForce(5.4.8)".
I assume what I need is to upgrade the NVIDIA GeForce 9400 driver, but I can't find it anywhere,
not even on the official NVIDIA site. Anybody know ehre I can find it?

Hi, we're stuck with what Apple gives us in the OS, before reinstalling 10.5, try reinstalling the big 10.5.8 combo.
Repair Permissions afterwords, reboot.
1058 Combo Update, 10.5.8...
http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

Problems with FCP and Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT video card

Not sure if this should be in the MacBook Pro forum or this one...
I am having trouble with the GeForce 8600M GT video card while editing in final cut pro (and after effects). I have talked with numerous people at applecare, but they say that they are unaware of issues regarding the video card.
The problem: It's almost like the card is unable to keep up with professional video applications. Whenever there is movement in the video I'm editing, I get lines across the screen. Not sure to how better to explain it than to say it looks like the video card is having a tough time refreshing. (I can take the same video to a much older power book, and it plays perfectly, so its not the source file.)
At first I thought it was an FCP issue, but I just started using after effects, and I'm having the same problem in there. If I edit in after effects, when I play it back (in after effects), I get the lines. I can then export the project to a quicktime file. The quicktime file plays perfectly (no lines) when not involved with a professional application. Then if I import the same quicktime file into FCP and play it back in FCP, the lines happen again.
Is anyone esle having this problem? Any thoughts? Any solutions?
Thanks!
Michael

I had searched the macbook pro forum, but not this one. It seems that the "screen tearing" issue has been talked about a lot, so I apologize for the repetitive nature of the post. I will say that I am fairly shocked that given how many people have clearly called applecare, no one there seems to have a clue that there is a problem with this video card. I have talked with at least 4 different people in the FCP specialty group, and not one had any clue what I was talking about... 3 of the 4 were fairly insistent that it was a video source issue on my side.

Problem with MSI Board and MSI Geforce 4 with Windows XP

I have a MSI 845E Max(MS-6566E)
MSI Geforce 4 - 420
Celeron 1.7 gig
Soundblaster Live
2 Network Cards
and the usual stuff.
I have loaded Windows 98 on my system and it works fine. But then I load Windows XP on and the system starts rebooting. After it reboots my video resets itself and I have to load it back in. I will then reboot and sometimes it will work, sometimes it will not. I try playing a game or even searching the net for awhile, but out of the blue the system will give a very quick blue screen and reboot. And of course when it boots up the video is reset. I loaded all the drivers I could find on MSI's website and used every video driver made by Nvidia and MSI. If I do a Windows XP update to my system the computer will not even boot up. it will just keep rebooting when it is trying to bring up the login screen. Anyone else run into this with Windows XP?

My system sometime freezes. Why ???

DVI to Component video w/ MacBook Pro and NVIDIA GeForce 8600M card...

I just got a new MacBook Pro with the NVIDIA GeForce 8600M video card. On the NVIDIA website for the card, it states:
"Integrated HDTV encoder provides analog TV-output (Component/Composite/S-Video) up to 1080i/1080p resolution".
I have a Sony HDTV that only has component video (Y Pr Pb) inputs (the red/green/blue inputs). It is capable of HD up to 1080i.
If the NVIDIA card does output an analog TV (Component) signal, it should work. However, when I went to the place that sells the DVI-to-Component adapter, I got some bad news:
See it here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000E8V0YI/ref=pdluc_sbs_0202
I wrote a question to the Sewell folks about this product and asked this:
Will this work with the dual link DVI-I port on my macbook pro? Graphics card info: Nvidia 8600 GT 256MB of GDDR3 memory Here is the link to the card's site: http://www.nvidia.com/object/geforce_8600.html
They answered:
Unfortunately this will not work. While the GPU may support the function, the Mac Version of the cards do not implement the component signal.
I think they are still thinking about the older MacBooks that use the ATI chipset and don't know about the new NVIDIA cards.
Is component really not implemented in the new MacBook Pros?
I have the 17" model that has more VRAM than the 15" and I got the HD screen upgrade.
Does anyone know any solution that will work with the MacBook Pro with the NVIDIA chipset? As I said, I'm trying to output an HD signal from the DVI port on the MacBook Pro to component video input on my HD television.
Thanks for the help.

Sorry, the website for the Sewell adapter is here:
