Need compatible video card advice

I've got an msi 865pe neo fisr2 mobo. ati radeon 9700 pro has problems and is not compatible with my board. so, what from nvidia will be fully 100% compatible and compare in performance to the ati radeon 9700 pro or be slightly better? I'm thinking for price, $150-$200 at most.

I know it is not compatible cus i tried a GF 3 card with no issues. my brother in law has the same mobo and same card yet had the same problems. so that is incompatible. his card works fine on his older pc with different mobo, same for me. so i bought an nvidia card from leadtek. i dont trust ati and might not ever.
back when i first got the system built, i had the same problems. just i wasn't as upset because it was new. after time the same issues started getting on my nerves. i never not had issues. i always have, just at first it didn't bother me as much cus it was new, then after it got old i was poed at the issue. my brother in law same issues, got a new card for his pc and no problems. i tried an nvidia from my own pc and no problems. so the problem is the ati 9700 pro is not compatible with my motherboard nor my brother in laws. and my card is under warranty, it's already sent back to zipzoomfly, but since they have to wait 6 weeks or so from the date i sent it to them and will not exchange and i pay the difference on a new card or something, i am without a video card in this pc. they had to send back to ati, wait for ati to send them the thing, then send me the card. they said 2-3 weeks 3 weeks ago, and now tell me another 2 weeks or so. screw them. but i can't wait this long, so i got a new card, should be here tomorrow, will never open the radeon 9700 pro once i get it back and i will just sell it. also i know for fact this is fact cus an ati rep said this as well as someone else on these forums long time ago. with cerain radeon 9700 pro, it was not compatible and never would work reliably.
the problems are that the monitor would go black, the pc running still, frozen totally. had to reset the pc with the reset button on the case. also some other issues as well. reinstalling windows never fixed it, drivers never fixed it, only fix was a diff card. same issues on my brother in laws pc.

  • [VIA] Do I need a video card to make this MB run?

    My MSI KM4M-V arrived today. It replaced a Shuttle motherboard I just could not make it show anything on the monitor.     I returned it as defective.  Well, I just installed my MSI and darn it, the same thing is happening.  Nothing shows on the monitor. 
    My son said I need a video card.  It has a monitor connection sticking out the back, so I assumed it came equipped to run a monitor.   
    Now, I'm not a pro at these things, but I followed the installation book to a tee.  And since is the second motherboard that has performed this way, I think it must me something I am doing wrong.   But what can it be?
    I am assuming I can hook it right in and it wil run my old hard drive like they came together.  Am I wrong?  Must I format the drive and  run the software?     I can't load rhe software fi I can't see the monitor.   
    When pluged in and unconnected my monitor flashes a blue and white "please check video cable connection" message.  When I connect it to the MSI motherboard the flash stops.  So something is working. 
    Any suggestions and advice will be greatly appreciated.  My computer is devoted to genealogy and it's ben down for 2 months and I am very anxious to get it tuning again.

    Save this reading till the power and beeps from Wonkanoby have been resolved. I think "used" is a relative thing...
    No, if you plugged everything in while power was off it is alright.
    Now comes the processor part, which one it was. This motherboard can hold most, but XP3000 and XP3200.
    It is getting a bit late here, so I want to prepare you for some other things that might come up:
    The seating of the processor is very important. This is best done while the motherboard is out of the case.
    Between the motherboard and the case there are stand-offs. Too many is a bigger problem than too few.
    You might even have to test-run the motherboard out of the case, to eliminate the risk of shorts.
    What memory do you have? Stick of RAM, that is. Model and speed, please.
    Off topic: I didn't know either, Wonkanoby, you used a 500W in a Shuttle - half should suffice. A new one for you, maybe: Too big a PSU. But it is one overstated, again: http://www.amamax.com/pomaxceb5020.html "+3.3V-24A, +5V-36A, +12V-16A"

  • Imac 24 inch compatible video cards

    What are compatible video cards to update to? I want to use imovie 10. But it needs something from this list
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4664?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    From what we know, your 24-inch iMac has got a replaceable GPU, so you can replace it if you want, and users say it can be replaced by a NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS, which is supported by iMovie 10.0.
    Apple won't help you do that, so you have to get the GPU yourself and install it yourself

  • I have CC and while attempting Light Effects, the Layer will appear in the layers panel, but the option bar will not appear and neither will the Properties panel. All my preferences are set correct, and my computer has a compatible video card and RAM. Ple

    I have CC and while attempting Light Effects, the Light Effects Layer will appear in the layers panel, but the option bar will not appear and neither will the Properties panel. All my preferences are set correct, and my computer has a compatible video card and RAM. Please help!
    I tried to delete the layer attempt again. I am in a Photoshop class, but the work is all online, so all my teacher is going to do is send me to this site. I am trying to edit a photo for this class, and without this working, i go to filter>render>light effects. the bar and panel will pop up for about 2 seconds, then disappear. How do i get the options bar and properties panel to display?

    I was about to suggest resetting LE from the Workspace drop-down top right corner, but if you can't see the Options Bar, I guess that is not going to happen.  The normal Tool reset is grey out for LE, so it might be a case of resetting Preferences.
    Reset Preferences
    Windows — Hold down Shift Ctrl Alt immediately after starting Photoshop
    Mac — Hold down Shift Cmd Opt immediately after starting Photoshop

  • I need a Video Card for Adobe Premiere Elements, what is recommended?

    I wish to buy the Adobe Premiere Elements Video Editing. I shoot on a Cannon GL1 & GL3 mini dvd and need a video card to capture my video footage. What Video Card is recommended for use with the Premieire Elements software? and what is the price? Please advise...

    farney1946
    Is the purchased Premiere Elements 12 still in its sealed packaging?
    If you have not already, I would suggest that you install Premiere Elements 12 from the purchased installation disc
    and evaluate its performance in your computer environment.
    a. Does the program fail to install?
    b. Do you get Display Card errors?
    If you are worried about not being able to return 12 once the package is opened, then you can try the following
    a. Download the Premiere Elements 12 tryout files from the following web site and evaluate it as a tryout (full
    featured).
    http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-12-direct-download-links-premiere.html
    Read and carry out carefully the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the web page to avoid Access Denied message.
    b. If the tryout performs well for you, then delete the tryout and install your purchased version with the purchased
    serial number included on the packaging.
    ....other possibilities, but just the above for now.

  • 24" 2008 iMac with busted video card, advice needed.

    I have a 2008 24" iMac in which the video card is busted. The machine will turn on, get to the log in screen with no issues, however there is absolutely no video output to the screen.
    I have attempted connecting it to an external monitor using mini DVI to VGA and a VGA cable, but the machine is not set to display to an external monitor.
    Having the video card replaced will cost in the region of €300, an amount I'm reluctant to spend on a machine which is seven years old.
    I have it backed up, so I'm really looking for advice to to how to wipe it so I can sell it on for parts, or other suggestions...

    Your welcome, your new iMac likely does not have a Firewire port so you will need a Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter like:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD464ZM/A/apple-thunderbolt-to-firewire-adapte r?fnode=51
    I noticed several available on E-Bay however where you decide to get one is totally up to you.

  • Compatible video card?

    does anyone know a video card, preferably a 64MB one, but I would go with 32MB, that is COMPLETELY compatible with Solaris x86 v9? incuding the whole webstart installation such that it very smooth and easy like?
    what video card do you have running and how did you get it running?
    I've got some reccomendations for old ones, and ones less than 32MB, but I would really like something that has some speed
    THANKS

    I don't know why you want to use webstart. It is really, really broken. You are much better
    off using disk 1 of 2 for the install. Seriously - Forget it, unless you are only installing
    Solaris. Webstart forces you to use 2 Fdisk partitions. Install disk 1 of 2 allows you to
    install with one Fdisk partition, which is important for multi-boot systems.
    WRT video cards: Generally speaking, the stock solaris drivers, with the exception of the
    Matrox G200/G4x0/G5x0 don't perform very well.
    Why do you need at least 64MB of video memory? Are you planning on running OpenGL
    or some sort of 3D rendering? Is the 3D rendering software even supported on Solaris-X86?
    Are you planning on multibooting your system (running Solaris with Linux and/or Windoze
    from the same boot drive)?
    If you're planning on running OpenGL, then you need to look at which cards are supported
    by XIG, (see www.xig.com) because that's the only place to get OpenGL for Solaris-X86, other
    than some free GL implementation that some folks in the user community are working on.
    See the Solaris resource page at http://www.bolthole.com
    If you're not going to run OpenGL, and you can live with a text install mode while you get
    your machine installed, I'd look at getting the Xfree86 Kit 4.3 .0. This is a patched set of
    Xfree86 drivers which use the Solaris DDX stack, so Solaris can use the drivers from
    Xfree86. This allows you to use kdmconfig to configure your video card, as with stock
    Solaris video drivers, and things like Display Postscript work. You can find the latest
    bits at http://www.tools.de/solaris
    Depending on your budget, I'd recommend the ATI 9500 or ATI 9700 series cards.
    The drivers at http://www.tools.de/solaris work very well with them. NVidia cards up to
    Geforce2 will work, but the later cards are a problem because Nvidia is now doing the
    Xfree86 drivers and AFAIK, they only work on Linux.

  • Windows compatible video card for OSX?

    I have a windows PC with an ATI All-In-Wonder 9600XT card that i put in it a few years back. I was wondering if this card is compatible with my PPC Powermac G5 Dual 2.7 machine to add on as a second video card. It's only purpose would be for me to import analog video into FCP so I can edit VHS footage. Also, if the TV tuner worked, that would be pretty sweet, but its not that important. Can someone help me????

    "was wondering if this card is compatible with my PPC Powermac G5"
    Sorry, but no. The card must have been specifically built for Macs.

  • G4 MDD Dual 1.25 - Aperture 2  - Do I need newer Video Card to run the app?

    I am hoping someone can help steer me in the right direction. I spent all morning reading about Aperture 2, decided I must have it, downloaded the trial version and THEN found out my computer will not run it. When I try to install it, it says that I don't meet the minimum requirements but doesn't specify exactly what the problem is. The Aperture minimum requirements are confusing to me in that it says Power Mac G5 with Intel processor, BUT it says you can have a G4 Powerbook with a 1.25 GHz processor. My Powermac G4 has a 1.25 processor. Not sure if that is the problem or if it's my video card which is the standard ATI Radeon 9000 Pro. If I replace my video card will I be able to run Aperture 2? If so, which ones would be compatible with my older Mac? — Thanks, mark

  • Six Spare Monitors...MacPro Video Card Advice?

    Greetings,
    I have six spare monitors (Dell 19" 4ea and Dell 24" 2ea) leftover from a PC and I would like to get some advice on MacPro video cards to conncect all six monitors to a single machine.  When I had my PC, I purchased a single eVGA 9500 (two DVI video ports built-in) and two eVGA PCI cards (2 video ports each for four ports).  Once installed, these cards worked flawlessly with the six monitors under Windows Vista and the Aero interface.  The 9500 was $99.00 and the PCI video cards were around $50 each.
    I currently have a late 2009 iMac i7 with an external display, but I find having two screens is somewhat limiting since I had six with my PC.  I've enabled Spaces in Snow Leopard, but all the screen flipping gets on my nerves.  I miss being able to dedicate a monitor to email, another to iTunes, another to the Calendar, another for web browsing, etc.
    Unlike Wintel PCs, the selection of video cards seems to be limited and specialized for MacPros. 
    How would someone go about adding video cards to a MacPro to drive six monitors?
    I've read that the older MacPro video cards aren't very good.  My late 2009 iMac i7 has a Radeon 4850, and I've never had a single problem with it, so I would probably want something similar in my MacPro if that is possible.  
    I'm considering buying a used MacPro off eBay in the $1,000 to $1,500 price range.  I'm planning on using the machine the same way I'm using my iMac today which consists of basic photo editing with iPhoto & Aperture and light video editing with iMovie. 
    Thank you,
    Derrick

    there is a similar discussion over here;

    where these two pages are mentioned;

    but you can add another (or more) card in a mac pro for more monitors.
    yes, the choice in cards is limited.
    some PC cards can be flashed, but with no garantees.
    then there is USB, where you can add up to 4 monitors;

  • Need a video card for Dual G5 w/ Apple 23" LCD

    The ATI Radeon 9600 Pro AGP video card has died in my Dual G5 1.8GHz. I ordered the machine CTO with that card in October 2004 because I was doing some amateur video and graphics work.
    Having changed career paths completely my big-bad Mac has been relegated to bookkeeper and web-surfer status so I no longer need any more video horsepower than is necessary to drive the Apple 23" LCD.
    Please suggest a fair to good card I can get as a replacement, preferable at or near $100.
    Thanks for the help!!

    Here is a selection of video cards which will all fit your particular model G5:

    There are many workstation class or high end games laptops and you can change/swap video cards on them. Normal laptops can't.

  • Help - Need OpenGL Video Card for G4 with ADC

    OK, I've got a G4 with 1.8 GHz Dual Processors. I just upgraded from FCP 5.1 to FCP 6.0 and it tells me that FCP 6.0 doesn't like my video card because it "doesn't support OpenGL." So I need a new video card - problem is, my G4 Quicksilver utilizes an Apple Flat Screen with ADC connector. I really like the Studio Display and don't want to change it. Does anyone know of a video card with "OpenGL" (that will work with FCP 6.0) that also has a ADC connector????
    Thanks, Gilbert

    As far as I'm aware, the Radeon 9000 is ATI's most powerful card with an ADC connector and the GeForce4 Titanium is nVidia's, although I don't think either supports Tiger's Core Image etc.
    The following utility can monitor VRAM usage, which may help decide whether the 128MB version of the 9000 would be noticeably better:

    I'm about to purchase a used Xserve G5 Cluster Node, which doesn't include a video card. I was wandering if anyone had any suggestions. I want something cheap and basic.

    Hi
    ATI Rage Pro, ATI Rage 128, ATI Rage 128 GL. A quick search found these:

    If you have an older PowerMac G4 350Mhz/400Mhz hanging around (M7631 or M7826) you should be able to use the card that came with it.
