Looking for Video Card

My searching through the forum answers some questions, but still wondering ...
My 450 AGP (Sawtooth) is going to get a new video card, part of an upgrading I've been doing.
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro Mac 128mb? Will this work for my 450? I'm not understanding the 2X, 4X, 8X relevance.
Also, in the name of $$$, I've seen it posted that perhaps I could get a PC version and flash it for Mac. Is this straight away ok?
Thanks for any insights.

Hi-
The biggest limiting factor in upgrading the Sawtooth graphics card is the AGP bus. The Sawtooth has a 2x AGP bus, 32-bit channel operating at 66 MHz doubled to an effective 133 MHz resulting in a maximum data rate of 533 MB/s.
A graphics card must be compatible with this speed to br used in the Sawtooth. Current AGP cards are predominately 4x and/or 8x AGP (266mhz and 533mhz respectively), and don't work at lower bus speeds.
Signaling voltage is another factor, with 2x being 3.3v, 4x being 1.5v and 8x being 0.8v. When modifying a card from PC to work in a Mac, and to make a faster card work at lower AGP speeds, some cards can have pins blanked out (taped) allowing use at the higher voltages.
The reason the 9800 Pro is so often recommended, is that it is one of very few 2x AGP compatible performance cards available. From the world of flashing, the PC version of the 9800 is one of the most easily, and succesfully converted cards. Some of the last modern cards with 3.3 V support were/are the Nvidia GeForce FX series and the ATI Radeon 9500/9700/9800(R350).
The 9800 Pro, Mac version or flashed, will work in your Sawtooth. Either way, the card is plug and play in OS X, and will provide graphics performance far beyond that of other 2x AGP compatible cards.
Often mentioned, is that the 9800 requires a 300w power supply. This may be true from a manufactures "warranty" standpoint, but the card will work fine with the Sawtooth's 237w PSU. Adding a processor upgrade (single) and up to two internal harddrives will also work within the PSU's wattage. The main enemy of all, heat is the biggest concern.
Reducing heat/increasing cooling by using a third party fan is highly recommended. The 9800 is a hot card, and the stock fan is prone to early failure. Adding additional cooling to remove the extra heat produced by the 9800, by using an exausting PCI fan, will also help the PSU provide adequate voltage to the system, by reducing the amount of hot air moving out of the PSU..

Looking for Video Card for Power Mac G5 August 2005

I have a Power Mac G5 built August of 2005. My ATI Radeon X850 XT G5 Mac Edition 256MB Video Card is toast. Is it an AGP card? I need to replace it. Will the Apple G5 PowerMac ATi Radeon 9600 XT 128MB Video Card ADC DVI Graphics work on my G5?

The 9600 XT will work, but you won't be impressed after life with a X850.
The occasional X800XT OEM can still be found.
This trusted seller has OEM X800XT cards available.
Might get a bargain in this auction.
X850XT cards are dear when available.
IMO, the performance difference between X800 and X850 doesn't really justify $100...
http://www.barefeats.com/radx800.html
If you don't need the ADC port, a flashed FireGL X3 makes a nice dual DVI X800XT .
The Geforce 6800 Ultra DDL is always a performance value.

Updating Drivers for video card?

I have a G5 Quad with an Nvidia Geforce 7800 GT video card (installed by Apple at the time of purchase). I wanted to see if there were any new/updated drivers for my card, but when I go to Nvidia's website the card is not listed, nor are any Mac drivers that I can see. I checked Apple's site, CNET Downloads, and Google, but I'm coming up with nothing.
How are the drivers for video cards updated? Are the drivers included in various OS updates? Am I just looking in the wrong places?
Thanks.

Thanks, maclover. And thanks for the warm welcome
My problem is specific to a piece of software... I'm using Lightwave, and recently added FPrime to Lightwave's functionality. FPrime is a third party plugin, and is widely used in the Lightwave community.
The problem is that if I open FPrime before OpenGL renders the objects in a scene on screen FPrime crashes (hard)... it's like a kernel panic and my only option is to shut down and reboot. However, if I let OpenGL render the objects first then FPrime opens fine.
I'm an active member of the Lightwave community, and I've been in contact with the maker of FPrime regarding this issue. My question about drivers stems from the fact that usually if something like this occurs then it may be related to the need to update card drivers.
Thanks agian.

HP Pavilion DV2716ca - Reduce the amout of RAM allocated for video card

Looking for memory card(s), GPX MP3 player

I have a GPX MP3 digital player, the MW3337, and am looking for memory card(s) as it only holds 1GB. I do not have the manual any more. My questions are; What have you used and liked for memory cards, what will work best for this model, and any other information that is relevant to the MW3337 and memory cards. thanks

Hey drumset09 -
In examining this unit, it appears that any SD card or MMC card will work for this unit. You have options up to 16 gb presently. I would recommend whatever size will fit your needs. There is a plethora of choices out there these days.
I hope this helps!

External PSU (power supply unit) for Video Card

Hello guys. My 7979 6gb Radeon card arrived, but my Mac Pro only has 6-pin connections for video cards and two molex inputs, when my video card needs two 8-pin ports (or four 4-pin molex ports, 2 for each 8-pin), since I tried running the card simply using one molex for each 8-pin port (the card just turns off when I try to load a graphic intense video game, but otherwise runs) and it fails. To solve this, I am purchasing new psu tomorrow morning at best buy. 2 questions
1. Since this psu will be external and not a replacement for the Mac pro psu, do I have to connect anything from the psu to the motherboard, or do I simply plug it into the wall outlet, and then plug the video card 8-pin cables into the psu ?
2. The "requirements" on the video cards website says that I require a 500 watt CPU. But I believe this assumes a 500 watt CPU that is powering the whole computer (fans, ram, hard drives etc), so does that mean that getting a 430 watt psu will be fine since its exclusively for the video card? I read online that at max usage, the card only uses about 370 watts.
Thanks

The PCI-e bus can provide 75 watts, as can each of the two 6-pin auxiliary power connectors, so you only need a 150 watt supply. It is possible to mount it internally, below the optical drive.

Logs for video card.

Hello,
I had a problem with the video card on my custom-build macbook pro. I ran the diagnostic test (from the instalattion CD), which confirmed the issue and reported that the card had 256mb of VRAM. I then took the machine into the apple store and they replaced the logic board. They replaced the card with one that has 128mb of VRAM and claim that this is what I originally had. I checked this with Apple on the phone, but there appears to be confusion. Apple has not explained to me why the diagonstic test would be wrong. Is there any way that I can see old logs that report the size of the VRAM that I used to have? I looked at system.log, but have not found anything.
Thanks.

I see, Tiger makes the logs no use for that, as you say.
I can't think where else that info would be noted, although an overnight EasyFind looking for content like geforce (or whatever is appropriate for yours) would find anything there is. Probably have to use it as root to search every last hidden system folder.
http://www.devon-technologies.com/products/freeware/index.html
I haven't been able to check, since it seems the site's having problems... but I thought that maybe https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do allowed (after registering the item) seeing specs that went further than just general 'mbp 2007' and possibly included original customisation. I might be confusing it though.

Looking for Video playback app, like a DDR

Hello, I'm looking for a program to cue up and playback quicktime files for live broadcast off of the computers hard drive. Kind of like a DDR but all running on the computer. It needs to have the ability to cue up files based on keystrokes, like 123 enter = playack of 123, and be pretty quick about it.
I found Playbackpro.... at WWW.DTVideolabs.com but I'm looking for some other options.
Thank you.

Unfortuately I cant load the clips into quicktime since it's crashing when I load them..
Just hoping for a light weight app that's sole function is video file inspection

Looking for video effects

Hello everyone:
I'm relatively new to Adobe Premiere CS4 (although I have some experience working with digital video). I seemed to have mustered the controls for Premiere itself but what seems to be lacking in my understanding is how to create certain visual effects with it. I'm looking to create a video clip with effects like in this particular video: (Sorry for the link but it's much more easy to show it.)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePDR3Pza1_g
What I'm looking for is this:
1. The way they have the Id logo expand, shrink and distort in the very beginning.
2. The "broken TV reception", or "TV-snow" effect. Also the effect how they have the picture twitch at some points.
3. The way they implemented titles in the beginning -- "The Union Aerospace Corporation is the largest ..."
I'm not looking for a free solution in particular, so if someone knows some third-party plug-in, or something I can integrate into Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, I'd greatly appreciate it.
I'm not sure if it's Premiere or After Effects, either. So I apologize if I posted it in a wrong forum.
Thank you in advance.

As for the picture jitter, I'm not sure I saw the appropriate effect for it, but I'll keep looking, maybe I missed something... You said there's an effect for that in AE. I don't really know it that well, so I'm curious, is it possible to take a track from PrPro, send it to AE and then back to PrPro (pretty much like with sound track and Soundbooth)?
Depending on the version of PrPro and whether it's one of the full "suites," you can use Adobe Dynamic Link (DL) to quickly move footage into an AE Comp and back again. Each version of what was once called Production Stuido has improved the function of DL.
Now for the jitter, I seem to recall a plug-in, something like "unsteady cam," or similar. It is just the opposite of "stabilization." Do not recall either the official name, or software company, or even if it was part of an Effects "pack."
Speaking of which, I know it's off topic here, but do you know any idea where can I get some sound effects like in that clip? Maybe even some sound bites/background music/anything.
Not at all OT. Here's a list of SFX and music sites. Some are free, some are for a fee:
http://www.stevengotz.com/audio.htm
http://www.findsounds.com/ISAPI/search.dll
http://www.freesound.org/index.php
http://www.a1freesoundeffects.com/
http://www.ljudo.com/default.asp?lang=tEnglish&do=it
http://www.sounddogs.com/
http://www.soundsnap.com/
http://www.stock20.com/commerce/index.php
http://www.shockwave-sound.com/index.html
http://www.smartsound.com
http://www.ilovewavs.com/Effects/Music/Music.htm
http://www.jamendo.com/en/albums
http://www.5alarmmusic.com/
Also the voices in the beginning sound quite machine-like, is there a software I can use to dictate some text in?
Audition, SoundBooth, and several other audio editing programs have similar Effects, and many more can be added, such as Reverb and Delay. There are also some free VST plug-ins that do a similar distortion. This GOOGLE Search has yielded a bunch of sites for VST's. Some free and some for a fee.
Again, thanks for your input, you can't imagine how much time you've just saved me... As for the video I'm making, it's supposed to be a fun one. When I'm done with it (hopefully in a couple of weeks) I'll post a link here.
No problem. If I can track down that shaky-cam/destabilizer plug-in, I'll post a link to it.
Good luck,
Hunt

Looking for video sharing app to create .mov

Hello,
I hope I am in the right place and apologize if I am not.
I am looking for a foundation to build a video sharing application for Golfswing.com.
We need to allow our visitors to upload video of their swings (these clips are >3 second) in any video format then convert to quicktime for playback.
Why Quicktime you ask? Because Quicktime is the only player that allows frame by frame playback of the golfers swing. Like this,
http://www.golfswing.com/proswings/daly.htm
Any ideas, suggestions, directions, comments, endorsements are greatly appreciated.
