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 & 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
    Rocketman

    The 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.

  • 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!)

  • 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 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

  • I have an early 2008 Mac Pro, 8 gb ram with a Dell 27" display and a 42" LG TV. I am thinking about upgrading the stock ATI Radeon 2600 graphics card for better resolution, preferring 2 dvi outputs. Does anyone have any suggestions on the best card?

    I have an early 2008 Mac Pro, 8 gb ram with a Dell 27” display and a 42” LG TV. I am thinking about upgrading the stock ATI Radeon 2600 graphics card for better resolution, preferring 2 dvi outputs or 1 dvi and 1 vga vs 1 dvi and a mini.

    Does anyone have any suggestions on the best graphics card for these larger displays for the best value?
    Thanks,

    I recommend you install nothing older than the Apple-firware 5770, about US$250.
    RE: Mac Pro Replacement Graphics cards
    1) Apple brand cards,
    2) "sold in the Apple store" cards, and
    3) "Mac Edition" cards ...
    ... show all the screens, including Boot up screens, Safe Mode, Installer, Recovery, debug screens, and Alt/Option boot screens. At this writing, these choices include:
    1) Apple brand cards:
    • Apple-firmware 5770, about US$250** works near full speed in every model Mac Pro, Drivers in 10.6.5
    • Apple-firmware 5870, about US$450
    2) "sold in the Apple store" cards
    • NVIDIA Quadro 4000, about US$1200
    • NVIDIA Quadro 5000, about US$2500
    3) "Mac Edition" cards -- REQUIRE 10.8.3 or later:
    • SAPPHIRE HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 MAC Edition, about US$480** Vendor recommends Mac Pro 4,1
    • EVGA GTX 680 Mac Edition, about US$600
    The cards above require no more than the provided two 6-pin aux power connectors provided in the Mac Pro through 2012 model. Aux cables may not be provided for third-party cards, but are readily available.
    If you are Meet ALL of these:
    • running 10.8.3 or later AND
    • don't care about "no boot screens" etc AND
    • can re-wire or otherwise "work out" the power cabling, THEN:
    You can use many more cards, even most "PC-only cards"

    Thought it might be helpful to start posting specific card info and see if a pattern emerges.
    There are 3 main places on the bottom side of the ATI card where potentially relevant information is written. There is also info in System Profiler. Please include what you can but at least Part Number, Serial Number (mask the last few digits), and a brief summary of the problem symptoms you are seeing -- or that your system runs trouble-free.

  • Video card upgrades for Mac Pro 3.0Ghz quadcore, Video card upgrades for Mac Pro 3.0Ghz quadcore

    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.

  • 10.5.5 + PowerMac G5 w/ ATI Radeon X1900 Graphics Card (256MB) Bad combo.

    10.5.5 is not displaying video properly. Elgato seemed to have narrowed it down to a specific computer setup with an OpenGL change from the 10.5.5 update.
    http://support.elgato.com/index.php?m=knowledgebase&a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=3097
    My screen shot is the one used in the knowledgebase document. I now see that Apple DVD Player and flip4mac in quicktime have the same look. The audio is fine. VLC can play all of the files with no problem.
    If you have the same setup:

    The fastest way (which will take a while) is to:
    1) Make sure you have an up to date backup with time machine.
    2) Boot from your Leopard install disc or disc that came with your computer.
    3) When choosing an install method you can choose an archive and install or erase and install.
    4) After the OS is installed it will ask you if you want to restore files from another drive, partition, mac or time machine.
    5) Choose time machine and get your files restored.
    6) Once the mac is started up.
    7) Go here http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1054comboupdate.html and download the 10.5.4 combo update.
    8)You then need to use software update to install all of the updates that came after 10.5. UNCHECK the 10.5.5 Combo Update. You can even select to ignore that update by checking the box next to so that it is selected and then selecting ignore update from the update menu in the menu bar.
    I have not tried using Time Machine to go back an OS version. I will experiment with that.
    I can also tell you how to clone your drive to another drive using the same DVD as above and two hard drives.
    I hope this helps.

  • Is my ATI Radeon 3100 Graphics card wielded to the MotherBoard?...

      Hello guys, I was just needing to know if my ATI Radeon 3100 Graphics card wielded to the MotherBoard, the reason I'm asking is BC I'm needing to upgrade my Video Card to NVidia so that I can get 60 FPS in my Games, right now I'm getting half that which is 30 FPS and sometimes it drops to 4 FPS. LOL can you believe that?, 4 FPS LMAO come on man, somethings gotta be better than ATI Radeon 3100....Hope to hear from you...

    I'm just not sure what is going on - that error is what Mac Mini's and others with onboard video have when they try to run FCE/FCP, and there is a workaround mentioned here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1609878
    Of course, your MBP has the ATI card, not onboard video.
    I did a clean install of FCE 3 HD ( PPC ) and then upgraded immediately to FCE 3.5 HD ( Universal ) and have experienced no problems with it.
