Mac pro 1,1 highest graphic card support 2012
Hi I wanting to know what is the highest graphics card to put in to a mac pro 1,1 ?
Apart from the ati 5770 and 5780 can I put newer models in to this mac pro?
newer as in.... you need 10.7.5 and can then look at but you want get full hit from GTX 570 for instance. And there are long thorough threads and all the rest on MacRumors Mac Pro section asked multiple times (but stay with threads don't create new ones!)

Mac Pro & ATI Radeon 9200 graphics card
I just bought a new Mac Pro but upon set-up I realized that I couldn't use my existing Apple monitor that has a ADC connection. I would have to buy the Apple DVI to ADC Adapter. Instead of doing this, could I take the ATI Radeon 9200 out of my old Quicksilver and put it in the new Mac Pro? This older video card has the right kind of connection that I need for this monitor. I could put it in and try but thought I would ask before I did just in case it is not compatible.

The Apple adapter will work for a LCD with ADC, but not for a CRT.

There are no ADC graphics cards that will work in a Mac Pro. -
Cannot install FCP X on Mac Pro (2,1). Graphics card issue.
I have a Mac Pro 2,1 (2 x 3 Ghz Quad Xeon, 16 GB RAM, and ATI Radeon X1900 XT (512 MB)) AND I cannot install FCP X. It says graphics card not supported. What do I need to run FCP X? If I need a better GPU, what card is recommended for this machine? It's hard to believe I can run the software on my Macbook Air but not my Mac Pro supercomputer...
Radeon HD 5770 (as inserted into the current MacPros) will do it. Make sure it's the unit bought from Apple, not a big box store.
Plenty of discussions about it, here's one:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2544029?start=0&tstart=0
Your "super computer" is more of a super computer than mine, but it did start life in 2007. Things have moved on... your MacPro isn't obsolete, by any means... in fact your original graphics card is probably just about to give up anyway! Mine did last year (I had an older card in a MP 1.1) and am glad I changed it. -
Early Intel Mac Pro--what are my graphics card upgrade options?
I bought my Mac Pro in June, 2007 and want to improve my ability to use it for games--right now it's a bit of a dog in that respect. I have a 3 GHz dual Quad-Core processor setup that my hardware overview says is a MacPro2,1 model identifier. My stock graphics card is the GeForce 7300GT using the PCIe bus. Any help would be greatly appreciated--I know there are some expensive cards out there for newer models and that there is some discussion on what is compatible with earlier models like mine, but I would hope that my $5,000 system has no viable upgrade path for this.
RocketmanThe card is dead silent on idle. I haven't tried it on any games yet, but with 720p HD content like .mkv files playing in VLC, the fan only goes up to 20-25%, and even at that I can't even hear it.
Idle fan speed is about 5%
Idle temps are 63 deg celcius (note that its summer, and my ambient room temps are hot)
Note these temps and fan speeds are under Windows 7 on ATI CCC. I can't get the temps and fan speeds under OSX, but I doubt they are different, the card is very quiet. And yes it does work under bootcamp
Aside from maybe dual flashed PC 1GB 4870s in crossfire, this is most likely the best gpu upgrade you can do presently; it is the best upgrade if you want to stay with apple oem parts.
There is always the dark horse: the GTX 285 from nvidia, however I doubt (wish) that it will be supported for 1st gen MPs. It's possible, though highly unlikely. -
Does Mac Pro auto-detect USB graphics card?
Hi
I have Mac Pro with a half dead motherboard. For whatever reason it can't recognize graphic cards. I've tried switching around with other similar graphic cards from other working Mac Pro's with the same specs (early 2008).
If I plug in a USB graphics card, does that start working immediately or does it need to be installed before anything happens?
I realize this Mac Pro is probably going to die on me any day now. But the USB cards are cheap (since work is paying), I can utilize it until it dies, even with weak graphic power.
Thanks.I doubted there was anything to be done about the internal graphics, that's why I neglected to give other details.
I just realized it was an older Mac Pro than I originally thought.
It's this one with 2x3.0GHz Xeon processors (A1186) (EMC 2113)
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP30
We run Lion on all our machines.
It used to be spending it's days as a Metadata controller for an XSAN 2.0. But we've upgraded to Lion Server, on two Mac Mini's. So it's out of a job until I can get it to give me an image on a screen.
So the card it's not seeing is a NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 256MB (probably died).
I tested these
NVIDIA GeForce 6600
NVIDIA GeForce 210 512 MB
NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT
But none of these appear to be on the list of compatibles for my Mac.
I just need it to work for cheap right now. Buying a internal graphics card is to expensive because it's basically going to be an oversized and overpowered harddrive (maybe subjected to some SMB share experimentations).
Right now I can't even get it on our network because I can't see the MAC Addresses
So no remote controlling either... -
Mac Pro 3, 1 Upgrading Graphics Card Help!
Hello to all and I first apoligize before hand incase there is a similar post.
I am currently in the mix of getting myself a new graphics card and upgrading the RAM I have on my early 2008 (3, 1) Mac Pro and dont know what I am looking at.
My current specs are as follows:
Model Name: Mac Pro
Model Identifier: MacPro3,1
Processor: 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory: 4 GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM
Graphics: ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 MB
Software: OS X 10.8.2 (12C60)
I am currently having issues with not waking up from sleep and the performace with the graphics card rendering and fps in games are very poor. Tired of having all of my video settings on low.
I play League of Legands, Dota 2, Portals, CounterStrike . . . etc. There are a lot of different options now for cards than ever before but I am looking to stay within a budget. For the graphics card I am not looking to spend over $400 and would love to find something even cheaper than that. I have researched many of the forms within discussions.apple, apple insider and as well have talked to a senior advisior with apple. She recomended the Nvidia Quadro FX 5600.
I specificly want something at or above 1.0 GB VRAM to handle my 2 Displays which are:
HP 2711:
Resolution: 1920 x 1080 @ 60 Hz
DELL 2405FPW:
Resolution: 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz
If anyone can point me in the right direction as to what to buy for a graphics card because I am not that well educated in that side of the computer. I can handle upgrading the RAM by myself but would also like a little push.
Any help/response would be great!The "regular" Apple Mini Displayport to Single-Link DVI adapter (is not an ACTIVE adapter) is US$29. for displays up to 1920 wide.
Third party Mini Displayport to Single-Link DVI adapter ACTIVE can be had for about US$35 from Amazon or NewEgg. for displays up to 1920 wide.

The Apple Mini Displayport to DUAL-Link DVI ACTIVE Adapter with additional power from an attached USB cord is US$100. required for for wide displays. -
Mac pro ati radion HD5870 graphics card, is it CUDA ready for 3D Modeling
I would like to move over to MACs from PC but use autocad and 3DStudio. The ATI radion graphics card HD5870 must be CUDA ready for 3D modeling, but the tech description at the online store doesn't confirm if it is CUDA ready.
CUDA is NVIDIA's parallel computing architecture. It enables dramatic increases in computing performance by harnessing the power of the GPU.
It is not offered by ATI/AMD Radeon cards.

Mac Pro with X1900 XT graphics card EFI boot display
Hi all,
I've got this problem with my mac pro with ATI Radeon X1900 XT - 1st DVI connected to the 23 inch apple display and the 2nd DVI connected to my optoma dlp projector.
My problem is that the EFI boot menu shows up on the 2nd DVI connection. So basically I see the boot menu only on the projector when it should have been on my apple display.
Can someone please help me figure this out. Can't seem to find any on google or anywhere else.
Thanks in advance for the help!Sorry, I forgot to add that small detail..
I can switch both connections and it'll work for the mac part of the deal but the windows end cant switch screens - making the apple display the primary display on windows..
now it sounds like a "windows" issue doesnt it!?heh -
New Mac Pros offer only ATI graphics cards
http://www.fudzilla.com/graphics/graphics/ati-also-wins-macpro-deal
This might be a concern for CS5 users, if the hardware MPE continues to be nVidia only.
I also noticed that the Fermi line of Quadro cards have been announced.I'm not sure that this means you can't buy an NVIDIA card...just that Apple isn't going to offer one in a stock model.
As far as Fermi is concerned...Adobe has said it will update the list of eligible cards as new models arrive and are tested. -
Need info about nvidia graphics card supported with premiere pro cs5
Hi
I need information about nvidia graphics card supported with premiere pro cs5
If I have a computer(portable) with this video card or graphics card :
nVIDIA® GeForce™ GTX 285M with 1GB DDR3 Video Memory available in Single or Dual (SLi) Configurations
Microsoft® DirectX® 10 Compatible
is it going to support MPE in premiere pro cs5?

VinayTo be clear:
You asked about supported cards. Here is a list of supported cards. Others on this thread are telling you how to make an unsupported card function to some degree using a method that is not advocated by Adobe. -
Looking for advice on Mac Pro with a dying video card. This the early Xeon dual core 3.0Ghz with an ATI Radeon X1900. Maybe the Nvidia Quadro 4500. I know there is s Quadro 4800 which I don't know if will will work with this older Mac Pro. Links and advice is appreciated.
Both cards will work with your computer although that's not stated on Apple's website. I'm using a 5770 in a first generation Mac Pro and it works quite well. I can't get the best performance from it because my MP only has PCI Express 1.0 slots.

Graphic card support Java3D?
Here you the detail for my graphic card:
http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/chipsets/k8-series/k8m890/
and here the detail of the mobo:
http://www.asus.it/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=101&l3=324&l4=0&model=1282&modelmenu=2
I've installed DirextX 9c on my pc.
I'm training on the Java3d libraries, but I got a problem, with my first example:
DefaultRenderingErrorListener.errorOccurred:
CONTEXT_CREATION_ERROR: Renderer: Error creating Canvas3D graphics context
graphicsDevice = Win32GraphicsDevice[screen=0]
canvas = javax.media.j3d.Canvas3D[canvas0,0,0,248x229]
Java 3D ERROR : OpenGL 1.2 or better is required (GL_VERSION=1.1)
Now, the question: can my graphic card support Java3D libraries?
I've tried to use theese (https://j3d-webstart.dev.java.net/test/) example, but they don't work too!
I hope in some suggest. Thanx in adviceHave you tried updating your OpenGL version? Java 3D may need that for somethings that DirectX can't give...?

Need info about graphics card supported with pre pro cs5
Hi,
I checked one information about supported graphics card about pre pro cs5 on aodbe.com,
http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/search_result.html?manuSearchVar=1&modelSearchVar=0 &supportSearchVar=0&brand=&dataFormat=&version=CS5&device=graphic&format=&buttonSubmit=
Under SUPPORT column it is mentioned for ATI and NVIDIA "Legacy support" and "Full support".
What is the difference in "Legacy support" and "Full support"?
I am not able to understand
VinayPremiere will use just about any graphics card to write to the screen so you may see what you are doing
For hardware MPE you must use a specific nVidia card... or a non-supported nVidia card with a small hack
For a list of supported nVidia CUDA cards go to the FAQ
