New 8 Core - bad graphics

I have a 3 day old 2.8 with the 2600 card hooked to my older 22" cinema display along with a Samsung 920n 19".
First off, both displays using my G5 look great. When I hooked them up to my new mac pro, the 22" wasn't as crisp - it looked like I was getting jagged edges on fonts and small details and the Samsung has a blue hue to everything. Nothing looks as white as when I use the display with my G5. SInce I can't use the Mac Pro for all my work until some 3ed party apps are ready, I have the G5 running both displays and then a switch box for the 19" between the G5 and the Mac Pro out so I can switch that display between the two computers.
When I left the computers on for a short while and came back, the Mac Pro on the 19" was so blue that it there was no white left. After a reboot, it came back to the normally dingy blue tint that it seems to always put out. I messed with the color settings, but it still not right.
Overall, I have to say that the graphic out put on this new mac is a huge dissapointment. I was expecting great grahics - instead I get what looks like what I used to get on my old Mac G3 with it's dying CRT display years ago.
The G5 with the same displays is much better.
I know others with the 2600 card are getting freezes. I'm wondering if my graphic issues are also related to the problems with the 2600. Anyone else notice the color issues?

I noticed the difference between my 2.66 and the new 2.88. I calibrated the monitors and have had no color problems since. A couple of times I have had the line across the screen or a left over block on the screen. I noticed that my 2600 defaulted to the 66mhz refresh rate. I changed that to 75mhz and have had absolutely no problems since. On the PC this seemed to always be an issue and several people more techie than I have always recommended the 75mhz refresh rate since the win 98 days.

  • Adobe reader really slow on brand new Core-i7 machine

    Opening of a PDFs is very very slow on my brand new Windows 7 64-bit machine. Machine is a new Core-i7  system with 16Gb Memory
    PDF's which open on other much older pc's within a second take 20-30 seconds on this new machine.
    The machine has a Radeon R260 Graphics card which was used in the previous machine with no issues. Just to be sure I have removed the card and used the on-board graphics to try to eliminate the card but the problem is exactly the same so must be windows related.
    Reader has been uninstalled and re-installed with no Joy.
    The rendering of the image is a problem as when zooming or panning the image again redraws very slowly (20-30 seconds) each time.
    PC is otherwise very fast.
    Can anyone help ?
    Thanks

    Hi VS2015,
    Have you noticed this issue with any other program too or just with Adobe Reader?
    How much on-board graphics memory do you have on your system?
    Moreover, As you had mentioned that "The rendering of the image is a problem as when zooming or panning the image again redraws very slowly (20-30 seconds) each time." I would recommend you to Update your Video Driver from Device manager option in Control Panel.

    webweave,
    Welcome to the Apple discussions!
    Generally, as discussed above, having 2 mount points for the same disk in the volumes folder won't prevent a successful backup. But in your case (#15!), that's a problem. More often than not, they are being created by Time Machine because you already have one or more instances of the Time Capsule disk mounted on your desktop. Ejecting the TC disk when it is not needed is the best way to avoid creating multiple mount points.
    If you have any further questions, please post them in a new thread. You can refer back to this discussion with a link if necessary.
    Cheers!

  • Bad Graphics Card? Replacement?

    Over the last 2 days my computer has been very, very sad Bad graphics glitches. Freezes. Bad startups, etc.
    All my RAM seems to be okay, and my startup disk does, too.
    So I was wondering if my graphics card had gone belly up?
    I have a GForce 8800.
    My buddy at work had a fairly new ATI Radeon HD 2600 HD, and he gave it to me today to test.
    I came home, and swapped them out. But I get BLACK on my monitor. Nothing. Nada.
    The Nvidia still works (although it gives me the glitches and the now-frequent panics).
    Do I need a DRIVER for this ATI?
    If I can't boot up 100% how can i hope to install it?

    Thanks for the response!
    I've actually been able to share my sreen via my MacBook.
    It's pretty obvious that it WAS my old GPU. Ugh.
    What's WEIRD is that I haven't seen my MacPro this FAST in a while! Its' pretty obvious that this card was on it's last legs for a while!
    This "zippiness" makes me think that I could get a few more years out of this puppy yet!
    Any other suggestions for cards?
    I'm having a real time finding viable options that I KNOW will work with this 3,1 model. Not a lot of "enter your model, and we'll list the options for you" kind of sites. At least that I know of.
    For instance, would this one from Amazon work?

    Again, thanks a TON for your help.

  • Second hand Core Duo or new Core Duo 2?

    Ok, I am really in doubt at this moment. I can buy a second hand Macbook 1.83 Core Duo with 2 Gb mem. for EUR 950 which seems like a good deal to me, but... should it be a better choice to go for the second generation Core Duo processors of the current Mac Books considering the upcoming OS? Or is speed more about internal mem than CPU? Can anyone figure this one out for me?

    We really can't answer this one for you - it really comes down to personal preference and what you are planning to use the laptop for. Check out the technical differences between the two and think about whether or not the differences are really important to you. There are three big differences, off the top of my head:
    - Core duo is 32-bit, while Core 2 duo is 64-bit.
    - Core 2 duo ships with an 802.11n capable wireless chipset
    - Battery life seems a bit longer with Core 2 duo, and it tends to run a bit cooler.
    There are quite a few more minor differences between the two (and several not-so-minor ones that I'm forgetting about, I'm sure). If your price for the core duo is significantly lower than the newer core 2 duo, and if the differences between them don't really matter to you, then I see no reason not to go with the cheaper laptop.

    Implementing BADI
    The use of object orientated code within SAP has lead to new method of enhancing standard SAP code called
    Business Add-Ins or BADI's for short. Although the implementation concept is based on classes, methods and
    inheritance you do not really have to understand this fully to implement a BADI. Simply think of methods
    as a function module with the same import and export parameters and follow the simple instructions below.
    Steps:
    1. Execute Business Add-In(BADI) transaction SE18
    2. Enter BADI name i.e. HRPBSGB_HESA_NISR and press the display
    button
    3. Select menu option Implementation->Create
    4. Give implementation a name such as Z_HRPBSGB_HESA_NISR
    5. You can now make any changes you require to the BADI within this
    implementation, for example choose the Interface tab
    6. Double click on the method you want to change, you can now enter
    any code you require.
    7. Please note to find out what import and export parameters a
    method has got return the original BADI definition
    (i.e. HRPBSGB_HESA_NISR) and double click on the method name
    for example within HRPBSGB_HESA_NISR contract is a method
    8. When changes have been made activate the implementation

  • Error: -69774: Couldn't bring the new Core Storage Logical Volume online

    Hi,
    I have a filevault encrypted drive (750GB).
    I first noticed a problem when it prompted my for the FileVault passphrase (which I had stored in my keychain) and entering the correct passphrase resulted in the typical "error" response (the sideways "bouncing" entry field) asking me for the passphrase again.
    So I get a list of the corestorage to get the UUID of the encrypted volume:

    looking at the kernel log I see the following interesting entries:

    BTW: after a while I also hear a single clicking sound (head jumping back on drive) so I am not sure if it might be a physical disk failure.
    Any ideas anyone?

    Also, I've tried Terminal command: diskutil corestorage revert UUID -stdinpassphrase which returned "Error: -69854: A disk with a mount point is required"
    Also, I've tried Terminal command: diskutil corestorage changeVolumePassword UUID -newpassphrase which returned "Error beginning CoreStorage Logical Volume unlock: The target Core Storage volume is not encrypted (-69755)"

    Please suggst.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    First try to create a table with some values in it and bind it to the node.
    When you create the BG there are thow things- Series and Category.
    Category is the X Axis and Series is the Y-Axis.
    Bind the respective properties to the node defined above.
    Select the type of graph as Chart/Line type using the Chart editor.
    When right cliecked on the BG you can see the Chart settings there you set the Chart type, X and Y axis.
    Create a  Business Graphic, under that create Category for X axis and  Series fror Y-axis that dispaly values from a table.
    Bind the Category to the context node->attribute and also the bindthe values to the respective Series and to the BG UI element.

  • New Core Duo just won't start up again

    Hi Everyone,
    I am having a problem with my shiny new Core Duo Mini which I received yesterday. I would contact Apple support but today is a public holiday in Australia so I figured I would try the forums.
    All went well with the set up. I ran software update and got all the updates (10.4.6, iPhoto, iTunes, Java, Front Row, and a couple of others that I can't remember) and did a reboot. All was fine.
    I opened up iPhoto and imported all my photos but as it neared the end of the import the machine just cut out, gave me a black screen, made it's boot-up chime and started rebooting. I have owned Mac's for years and never had one do this to me before.
    I figured maybe I had worked it too hard (I just imported 12000 raw images which probably gave it a good workout) so I thought I would do a shut down and let it cool down for a while. Before I got a chance to shut it down it cut-out again and powered off.
    I left it for a while then tried to start it up but all I got was the flashing power LED (it flashes very breifly about once a second - sort of like blip............blip...........blip.........blip......... etc. ) and no display signal. I checked out Apple Support and tried a PRAM reset using CMD-OPT-P-R and SMC reset by unplugging all the cables and leaving it for a few minutes but to no avail.
    I am using Apple wireless keyboard and mouse and I when it all started to go wrong I had an external firewire drive connected. I also have a blank CD stuck in the drive that I can't eject.
    I wondered if it had somehow changed the start-up drive and is looking for another start-up disc or something?? At this point any advice would be really appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.
    Paul.

    Hi Tom,
    Thanks for that. I tried ejecting the CD as you suggested by holding down the mouse button (I tried with both my Apple wireless mouse and an old MS USB mouse that I have) but it won't spit the CD out.
    When I power-up the Mini the CD drive makes the usual mechanical noises that it should and it spins up for a few seconds but all the while I still have the flashing power LED and nothing else happens. I noticed that when I used the MS mouse the optical sensor on the bottom of the mouse didn't light.
    I am suspecting that this Mac Mini may be taking a trip back to Apple very soon.
    Thanks again for the suggestions.
    Paul.

  • -69774: Couldn't bring the new Core Storage Logical Volume online.....What Now?

    Hey,
    I'll start from the begining.
    I have a 1TB that was running Mavericks, which I decided to perform Firevault 2.  Anyway my hard drive crashed and now I have Mavericks running on a different 250 gig hard drive and have been trying to decrypt my original 1tb harddrive through terminal.
    So I originally did the "diskutil corestorage unlockVolume UUID -stdinpassphrase thing and it said that it could not mount it but I notice that it was converting.  So after 6 hours the converting stopped and now it says that decyrption is no longer neccessary and that it needs to be reverted.  So I am try to revert it with terminal and it tells me that it is unable to find mount point. So ive been trying to mount the disk and comes up with the above error -69774: Couldn't bring the new Core Storage Logical Volume online.  So does anybody have any suggestions??
    -Thank you

    To anybody that read this and has the same sort of problem:
    I just recovered my stuff using stellar pheonix Mac Data Recovery, even after I coundnt mount it on my other mac machine.   Great software.

  • New Core Duo 2 Macbook benchmarks?

    are there any new Core Duo 2 Macbook benchmarks out yet?
    MacBook Pro 2.16 2gb RAM 256mb X1600   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   20" Cinema Display

    Well, 46°C idle do seem high, even for the 4MB Core 2 Duos. I think with the stock cooler you should idle around 38°C to 40°C, depending on your ambient temperature. You can overclock your CPU moderatly without burning it, and if you dont increase the v-core, things are pretty safe anyway. Just make sure your memory can handle the speeds, but if you set the divider to 533MHz (1:1) 300MHz for example shouldnt be a problem. Set the v-dimm (RAM voltage) to 2.1v.
    Your CPU temps dont have anything to do with the PSU you use. Its more about the other components in your system and your airflow. Do you have a case with fans sucking air in? If not find some fans that fit into your case (lower front, rear). Using the stock cooler a better airflow will give you better CPU temps immediately.

  • When does apple integrate the new Core 2 Duo Processors into the MacBooks?!

    Does anyone know if apple decided to integrate the new Core 2 Duo processors from Intel into the Macbooks, yet?
    When does it happen?!?!?
    Thx
    backbeat

    In order to keep up with the core 2 duo processor enabled laptops, apple must sooner or later have the new processors in either the MB lineup or the MBP's...however, if you want to fully take advantage of the new core 2 duo processors, might as well wait 'til next spring..when they come out with the new logic boards for the core 2 duo's...the current core 2 duo's share the same pin lay-out with the core duo's, so they can be used in the same logic boards,....(the people who buy the MB's with the core 2 duo processors are gonna regret buying it if they buy it before spring....cuz of this..)
    wait 'til next spring so you'll be fully happy with your MB...or , like me, you can just wait for your order right now and be satisfied with it.....
    when you do wait 'til spring, they'll probably have another new technological advancement, so you'll wanna wait for that.....sooner or later....we'll get 3D computer screens!!!!~~~
    my point is, you must evaluate what you'll be using your MB for...if the current MB's can fully service you, don't wait...
