New Graphics card for P965 Platinum

My good old P965 Platinum has lost its graphics card lately and I need to look for a replacement.
The old graphics card was an ATI X1950 XTX 512MB and has stood up well considering the vast advances in everything since then.
The problem is compatability since all new cards these days are PCI Express 3.
Does anyone have any recommendations on what newer graphics cards would work on this motherboard (if any)?

We had excellent results with GTS450 and GTX460 on MSI P965 Platinum.
But they are PCI-E 2.0 graphic cards.
You may also try GTX 650 and GTX 660, but it may fail in case of BIOS/VBIOS incompatibilities.
In any case, you need a good (single rail) PSU (at least 450W for real).
The additional PCI-E power connector is a must, because the PCI-E 1.0 slot cannot provide the power for a PCI-E 2.1 and 3.0 graphics card.

Any recommendations for a new Graphics card for Mac Pro?

Which New Graphic Card For 2008 Mac Pro?

I'm going to buy Final Cut X, so I'll need a new graphic card for my 2008 MacPro. My current card is an ATI Radeon HD 2600.
I asked AppleCare and they sent me a link to a lot of compatible cards (copied below).
But it turns out that most of these cards need Windows - at least according to specs - and the rest don't have the (2) DVI-D connections I need - so which card should I buy?
The card has to work with my 2 Acer P243W 24" screens at 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz.
Here's Apple's list:
•    NVIDIA
o    GeForce 320M
o    GeForce GT 330M
o    GeForce 9400M
o    GeForce 9600M GT
o    GeForce 8600M GT Note: OpenCL compatible, but does not meet system requirements for Final Cut Pro X, Motion 5 and Compressor.
o    GeForce GT 120
o    GeForce GT 130
o    GeForce GTX 285
o    GeForce 8800 GT
o    GeForce 8800 GS
o    Quadro FX 4800
o    Quadro FX5600
•    ATI
o    Radeon HD 4670
o    Radeon HD 4850
o    Radeon HD 4870
o    Radeon HD 5670
o    Radeon HD 5750
o    Radeon HD 5770

Once you look at what is sold, limits the list. None of those listed require Windows though. What specs? I don't see any specs. And of course nothing listed are Windows, that would be strange. Why you pasted notebook and iMac graphic adapters... unless Apple is selling FCPX for Windows.
Forget the GT120 though some use it with FCPX and are okay with it, save a little though I think 5770 has more processing, bandwidth and of course 1GB DDR5.
support for 6870 PC card is looking like a possible option now, too.
It is more mainly just 5770 vs 5870. Or Quadro 4000.
Amazon has PNY Mac Pro edition $790 vs Apple's $1195 for same card
PNY Quadro 4000 2 GB DDR5 Mac Pro
When FCX came out we had a couple threads on same topic.
Apple Graphics Cards
OSX and Graphics Cards
Radeon 6870 3DMark 30% gain on 5870
Flashed PC Radeon HD5870 Mac Pro 2008
Flashed PC Radeon HD5870 Mac Pro 2008 - dual DVI works
I include the above for same reason why when the 4870 came out, PC card was 1/2 price and $450 for 5870? really? when XFX and Saffire are under $199.
Radeon 5870 vs 5770 GTX 285 4870

Need recommendations: New graphics card for HPE-400y

Hi! I'm in need of a new graphics card, but I don't know which one is best for my computer. My computer is a Hewlett Packard HPE-400y. Click here for specs!
My computers has all the original parts except the PSU and HDD. I recently changed the PSU to a Corsair CX430. The current hard drive is a WD Caviar Black 2TB.
I use my computer for Guild Wars 2, Maya (models and animation), Zbrush, Corel Painter, and Photoshop.
My current graphics card (Radeon HD 5450) has issues playing Guild Wars 2. The FPS is 30 or lower if I try to play the game with medium or high settings. The FPS also drops when I'm playing the group PVP event known as World Vs World. I often have to have the graphics on the lowest setting in order to get 30 -45 FPS.

Hi,
You should be able to get a double wide card in your PC. Length may be a problem due to all of the cables. If the space below the optical drive is open then you might try to stuffing the extra cable lengths into that location.
BTW-- very nice photos. Not many will go through the effort to do so.
Consider trying one of the below graphics.
MSI NVIDIA GTX N750 TI and the MSI GTX N750 TF Both of these graphics cards are significantly faster then your existing 5450.
Know what the return policy is before your buy.
You have an excellent Corsair power supply. I would prefer that you had a 500 watt PSU so that the higher performing graphics cards could be tried. This NVIDIA GTX 660 specifies at 450 watt minimum but the 12v amperage from your Corsair CX430 is more than sufficient. It might be worth giving it a go. It's about 50% faster than the above two graphics cards. I typically don't recommend that graphics cards be used with PSUs below the graphics card manufacturer's minimum requirements but the Corsair CX430 should work.

New graphic card for a G5 ?

Hey..
I want to replace a ATI Radeon X1900 PCIe with a better and faster card.
Its hard to find graphic cards for Mac in the first place but i found this ?
http://stores.ebay.com/LOCAL338-ONLINE-STORE
Would these be safe to use ? what do you guys think.
Thx for all your help everybody

Hi-
Local338 is very professional in his/their service. I have two 6800 GT cards that he did, and absolutely no complaints.
A very reliable seller. Check his feedback.
The 7800GTX that he sells should be a good step up from the X1900.

New Graphics Card for DKA790-GX Platinum

Hi guys, looking for some advice on a discreet graphics card solution for my DKA790-GX Platinum PC build. I've just purchased a new 27" LED monitor (not arrived yet) that natively runs 1920 x1080 and my friend told me that the inbuilt Radeon HD 3300 graphics in the 790GX chipset will struggle with that resolution ?
Now first, I should explain I don't play games on the PC at all, but am a photographer, so regularly use Photoshop CS 5, Lightroom 4, Nikon Capture NX2 etc, and also play a few DVD and Blue ray movies though the PC. Because of this I'm not after a full blown graphics card, as to be honest, I want to spend the minimum possible, but obviously want a meaningful performance increase over the in built graphics.
Something else to throw in the mix is that I'm currently running without the side port memory enabled in Bios, as whenever I do enable it, I get corrupted graphics within a few seconds and eventually a BSOD. Without the side port enabled, it runs fine on my current 22" Monitor running 1680 * 1050.
My set up currently consists of the above motherboard, an AMD Phenom Black X4 940 3.0ghz black edition processor (not overclocked), 8gb Crucial Ballastix DDR2 PC2-6400 Ram, DVD re-write and Blue ray player / DVD burner. OCZ 256mb SSD boot drive and WD Cavier 2TB 7200 rpm HDD. 700w Power supply.
Do you think my friend is right or will the Radeon HD3300 be fine for my purposes ?
Any advice gratefully appreciated.

To the original question, for a non gaming environment, do you think the HD 3300 (with or without Side port) would be man enough to run 1920 * 1080 ?

Trying to find a new Graphics card for G4 Quicksilver Dual 1 ghtz

Hello All,
I am looking to upgrade my video card for gaming purposes. I have been doing research and thought I had found a card I could use. Then I researched more, and confused myself. There comes a point when one must ask
So I have the Geforce 4 MX right now and want to upgrade. At first I read that the ATI 3850 AGP would be a nice card to use, though I don't think it will work in my machine. I then came across the ATI 2600 XT. I also see that the 9800 pro is good. Then I hear about flashing....help?
So my questions are:
What is the best card that I can put in my trusty ole G4 Quicksilver?
A rough price range perhaps? Would I need to add a fan, or is the fan that comes on the graphics card sufficient?
Should I look solely at flashed cards, and if so would I flash it myself or buy one that is flashed already?
I am looking at spending no more than $200 on a card, is that a good amount for a card? It seems like it it isn't the top, but will do pretty good at buying a decent card.
I really appreciate these forums, and have read quite a bit here. But once I start researching I soon find myself reading about other interesting things (since there is so much great information here) and 2 hours later I remember why I came here in the first place.
Thanks in advance,
Etin
Specs:
G4 Quicksilver Dual 1ghtz
1.5 GB ram
AGP
Apple Cinema Display
(let me know if you need more information)

Ok, no answers huh?
Well, I purchased a ATI 9800 Pro Mac Edition.
*_A warning_*, if you have an Apple Cinema Display check the connection type. If it is an older display, you probably have a ADC connection. The newer models have a DVI connection. Make sure the video card has that type of connection on it or you will have to buy a ADC to DVI converter from Apple. This costs $99.00.
When purchasing a video card keep this in mind and add this to the price you will be paying to use the video card.
Thanks for the wonderful help.

Now I need a new Graphics card for CS4

Hi -
So I took the plunge and upgraded to CS4 - then discovered to my annoyance that Matrox aren't bothering ('corporate decision') to write drivers for their AVPE card to support WYSIWYG with CS4. Great, so a £200 card is now on the ebay pile and my 10 year (expensive) relationship with Matrox is over.
Now I'm faced with a problem, I've always had Matrox graphics cards in all my edit machines, the WYSIWYG plugins make things easy and they do work well- or did.
Please can anyone advise me if there's a card out there which will give me the ability to run two monitors as a desktop, and have a feature monitor showing my edit.(all VGA connected) With Production Premium CS4 I'd like 1GB of memory as I'm planning on editing some footage from a RED camera (or trying to) - with the Nvidia or ATI cards - is there software that allows you to set up which monotor does what - and does this plug in to Premiere After Effects Photoshop etc?
I have 2 PCIE slots, and don't mind I suppose having two graphics cards in the machine, will this work, if I insert a for example Nvidia GTX 260 alongside the AVPE will that work, letting the Matrox handle the desktop and the Nvidia the Feature monitor, or would I be better having two GTX 260's ??
I have asked the boffins at PNY if they think this'll work and they say - maybe, though the card will only support certain codecs.....really? they're getting back to me on what those might be.
My system is
Supermicro X7DWA N 16 gb ram
XP pro SP2
PSU 600watt
monitors are Benq - analogue all VGA
Adobe Production Premium CS4 with Cineform 4K
This is an area that is quite hard to research - none of the manufacturers websites answer the questions that come up and so I have to keep calling up tech support in various different countries, then wait while they go and find out.
I'm hopeful that someone out there has an answer - thanks for reading - any help appreciated
Billy

Hello Harm
Thanks for the reply, I was hoping you would, and also hoping that wouldn't be your reply.
I don't want to tie up my camera and have it on full time, just to get less quality than I was getting on the computer monitor as a feature monitor I was getting last week. The quality is really good, and I find it much easier to see for drawing masks etc and for colouring and grading - I guess die to having loads more pixels.
I can't accept that there isn't another solution and so I'm looking for one, even if I have to buy two GTX260's, I'd rather spend the £175 twice (or the extra £175) than have the camera in and out of it's box every time I want to edit and then the cables everywhere, I went tapeless to get away from that and sold a couple of cameras that I could have used.
I'd like to find out if having one nvidia 260 and my lovely obsolete matrox card will work, or if two 260s will give me the result I need, and so in the absence of any person who can tell me, I'll just have to give it a try, annoyingly, my mobo isn't SLI capabole, so I'll be wasting some of the potential of doing this, but may get the system to work again.
Can't express here how annoyed I am with Matrox, if they produced a card tomorrow which could shoot edit and composite award winning material which would keep clients happy from now to eternity for $1 - I wouldn't buy it.
I'll post the results as I go along.
My alternative is to go and buy a 6 foot monitor to use as a desktop.
Can't believe I'm the only person to have fallen foul of Matrox's failure to provide service.

Any recommendations for a new Graphics card for Prem Pro 2014 (Windows) that offers Mercury Playback Engine GPU acceleration?

Hi.
I am led to believe I could benefit from GPU acceleration when editing as my PC is a little under spec. I do have a card but when I switch to GPU acceleration it does work but every time I stop moving / playing / scrubbing on the timeline the preview screen goes black.
I am not sure which might be the best card to obtain for my reqs. I dont think I put the biggest of demands on the software but it does still struggle. Most of my editing is 3 - 10 min long interviews. 2 camera multi-cam editing. I invariably have need to edit RGB curves, three way colour corrector, transitions and sometimes Neat noise reduction. Any of those leaves my PC struggling. All the usual titles, music & voice-overs etc but nothing too heavy going like making films or inserting lots of video lines.
I also do an occasional bit of work in After effects too.
PC spec is:
Intel Xeon CPU 1.86GHz (2 processors)
12GB RAM which I am going to upgrade to 16GB
64 bit op system
Windows 7
Radeon HD 5450 graphics card.
Any guidance would be much appreciated

Thanks for insight. I am not technical but I suspect your right about the base technology of my PC. The processors and RAM (even if I upgrade) are probably too limited. I was not so sure about the relationship between the main processor and the graphic card. I rather hoped that the card would get round the limitations of the CPU's.
I maybe need to invest some time looking in to improving the spec of my PC. Any thoughts on a suitable spec from anyone would be helpful bearing in mind my relatively narrow editing needs.
Even so I will look at the GTX 660 and see what it might offer. The only reason I thought the 5450 might offer GPU acceleration was because the option was available to select in the preferences in PremPro. Figured it wouldn't be an option otherwise. Certainly doesnt seem to work correctly or offer any advantage so gone back to software only.
This is not going to be a quick or inexpensive resolution by the looks of it :-)
Thanks again for input.

Upgrade RAM to 16GB or new graphics card for Macbook Pro?

I edit very large photos daily in Photoshop CC, each photo around 25mb, with the finished PSD file at 300-500mb. I also have a dual-monitor display. There's a tiny bit of lag whenever more than one or two programs are open, and when I'm editing the screens will freeze for 10 seconds every minute or so. Is this a RAM issue, or do I just need a more powerful graphics card to power two displays? I'm a college student on a budget and want to keep this as cheap as possible. I've seen 16GB RAM on Amazon for $150, which is a stretch but doable. I don't know anything about graphics cards. Also, how would I go about installing either?

The correct RAM specifications for a 2012 13" MBP are: 204-pin PC3-12800 (1600 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM.
The most reliable sources of Mac compatible RAM are OWC and Crucial.
Look at this video which shows hoe to install RAM in your MBP:

I need a new graphics card for my iMac Apple will not sell me one so I can repair it myself, help

my graphics card as gone on my iMac Apple will not sell me one so that I can repair it myself, any suggestions

not sure which iMac you have but since the old 24" model the video card is not a separate board but a part of the main board so to fix it you would have to buy a smd gpu chip and solder the smd legs manually few people can manage such feat the only leg compatible gpu chips would work of cause in which case it would be more of a nvidia or amd having to sell you the gpu chip then apple as apple don't make gpu chips

Compatibility with new graphics cards for CS6

Hi,
I'm a video/photo editor and I'm looking to upgrade my graphics card to one with mercury playback. I noticed on Adobe's requirements page that cs6 only supports the geforce gtx 500 series but I want to upgrade to something more recent like the geforce gtx 700 or 800 series. I'm wondering if I upgrade will adobe automatically support it or will I have to go into adobe's coding and add it in?

Ask in the Premiere or whatever forum.

Can any body tell me were I can get a replacement card?
Thanks

How you know your notebook has separate graphic card?
Have you had success to remove it from the mainborad?
Sorry about these questions but Im a little bit confused. As far as I know graphic card is part of mainborad and cannot be replaced separately.
