New Radeon 3870
My new card arrives tomorrow and I need some advice. I run two displays both calibrated. I do a lot of Aperture and FCE, no gaming.
1. Will I need to re-calibrate my monitors when I install the new card? I think I should do this anyway, I just though I would ask.
2. Is there any point in using the 7300GT for the second display? I think the 3870 will out perform the stock card but not sure if having a second, independent, GPU running the second display has any performance advantage.

The calibration should not change. Everything is digital, and the same values will be loaded into the color lookup tables on the graphics card.
2. Is there any point in using the 7300GT for the second display? I think the 3870 will out perform the stock card but not sure if having a second, independent, GPU running the second display has any performance advantage.
Keep the 7300GT as a spare (not in the computer). You may need it for booting from the install DVD. For just two displays, one card is better than two. With two cards, the graphics processor on the card can't be used as much, since the software has to allow for a window to be dragged between displays, which has to involve the main processor if the displays are on different cards.

ATI Radeon 3870 HD Video/X-Fi extreme Music Issu
Here is a new problem that so far no one has any ideas about.
Got a new Radeon 3870 HD, and it works great, BUT ever since i intalled this card i can not run 5. speaker configuration because all i get is real bad noise and distortion, sometimes the sound cutting out all together. I have tried both the vid card in both PCIe slots and X-FI in different PCI Slots but that didnt help, i have the latest driver version for everything on my system. It works fine in 2 speaker mode and 4 speaker mode. Switched to onboard sound and i have no problems running 5..... This video card also has a realtek HD audio chip on it to output sound through an HDMI cable. Im thinking htere is some sort of conflict between the HD Audio drivers and the X-Fi drivers causing this problem. Disabling this HD audio on the Vid card in device manager helps the problem a little bit, but does not fix it. I have even made sure that the X_Fi was set as default audio device.
Here is my basic system configuration:
Vista Ultimate 64bit, 3 GB RAM, Radeon 3870 HD Video, X-Fi extreme music, Nforce 4 x6 MoBo.
Im thinking its a low level driver issue causing problems with the onboard HD audio on the vid card.lpenix wrote:
hi i had a simular peoblem with the xfi music, and the hd 3870. i could not get my xfi to work at all, in device manager it kept saying error code 0 . in device manager there was a hd audio that i could not uninstall to save my life i thought it was the on board audio for the motherboard. but after i read your email it clicked, i uninstalled the ati drivers and rebooted the machine and bam the xfi started working, then installed the ati drivers, and i think it fixed it. i still get some strange noise sometimes, and i think it is because of the hd audio, i wish their was a way to uninstall it , if you do it in divice manager, it just comes back .
You've got do disable your onboard sound in your bios. -
ATI Radeon 3870 for photomation pan/scan/zoom
Hi all,
I'm thinking about upgrading to the ATI Radeon 3870, but before I commit I would like to know if it will help with faster renders on the photo pan/scan/zoom (i.e. Ken Burns) style moves that make up the bulk of my work. I know it's good for Motion, but what I'm really after is speed on FCP renders for photos that have keyframe animated scale, rotation, and position parameters, as well as basic filters and transitions.
Thanks!I don't know what your workflow is, but I've animated hundreds of photos in Motion before without problem. And if I'm dealing with a long sequence (one was about 25 minutes long), I simply break it up into manageable pieces of 4-5 minutes long and reassemble in FCP. I could do all that and still be finished before I had the chance to animate a third of the photos in FCP alone.
To me, speed is a primary concern because obviously time is money. But as I said, I don't know how your workflow differs.

Quiet cooling solutions on MSI's new RADEON X and GeForce 6 series VGA cards? Which is quietest?
Hi.
I am, like many people are at the moment I'd imagine, trying to find the ideal graphics solution for running Doom 3. Say what you will about it, but I've played it, and I for one want to get my hands on it in a bad way.
The problem is that my PC doubles as a crude workstation for digital recording, and my condensor mics tend to pick up even very faint sounds. My current system configuration is: P4 C 3.2GHz, ASUS P4C800-E Deluxe mobo, 1GB DDR400 in dual channel, WD 3.6GB Raptor SATA HDD for OS and apps, and two 120GB Maxtor drives in RAID 1 for audio data storage, and the weak link as I call it, my gaming-inept Matrox Millenium 64MB. (Great for work...terrible for games, as expected). All this is running in the Antec Sonata case, and boy is it ever silent. I have to turn off my supposedly silent air filtration system across the room just to hear the PSU fan lol. It's been very good to me.
Doom 3 is the only game I intend to run on this system, simply because, call me crazy, but I am an old school Doom level editing addict, and I actualy like the tight narrow repetitive cooridor style gameplay it lets me enjoy. Furthermore, using editors feels alot like tinkering with my audio software, a feeling I very much savor.
I was going to go for a HIS Excalibur X800 IceQ II because they are supposedly extremely quiet, but darned if I can find one for sale anywhere on the planet. Lol.
So, I have decided to turn to MSI, who have never let me down with respect to near-silence in the past with their VGA cooling solutions.
So my questions are:
1) The NX6800 128MB (non-ultra, non-GT variety) is very quiet from what I hear, when the fan is set to the (default) lowest setting. Does the NX6800GT or Ultra feature the same cooling solution, and is it just as quiet, nearly as quiet, or noticeably louder than the plain variety?
and
2) I have heard in general that the new RADEON cards are much quieter than the GeForce 6 series cards. Does this hold true for MSI's X800 cards as well, and is the RX800 XT as quiet or quieter than the NX6800 or NX6800GT, etc. ?
Note that I care more about silence than performance. I would be perfectly happy running Doom 3 at 1024x768 at medium or even low settings, as long as I can keep the framerate smooth. I'm not very picky.
I would be truly grateful for anyone's assistance in this matter. Thanks very much in advance.Thanks for the reply and the info.
Yes, they do run much quieter in 2D. But are there any decible readings anywhere on the net for the stock X800 PRO cooler (in 2d or otherwise)? I ask this because, let's face it, most reviewers tend to focus on the performance rather than the decible levels (as long as the noise level is tollerable to them, they usualy give scores without going into much detail about how loud or silent something is), and being quieter than the competing products doesn't neccesarily mean it's truly quiet.
Basicaly, by quiet, I mean so quiet that it would be hard to hear it unless I get closer than two feet to the tower, and even then, rather faint or even inaudible unless I actualy put my ear up to the tower. My mics are that sensitive. Is the X800 Pro that quiet with the stock reference cooler? I'm thinking it probably isn't, but I could be wrong. The Toxic Pro of course is more than quiet enough, but I have some concerns there.
I would prefer the X800 XT or, at the very least, the plain 6800 128MB, as they both (even the 128MB normal 6800) score higher consistently in Doom 3 benchmarks than the normal X800 Pro (not overclocked). While I'd prefer a 256MB card over a 128MB one, and Sapphire using the VGA Silencer on their Toxic Pro is a nice touch, that card overclocks the memory freq, which is a no-no with Doom 3 from what I've heard. Doom 3 doesn't like overclocked cards, as John carmack said, and that seems to be true given that I've heard lots of people complaining of artifacts with even moderately overclocked cards, be it the memory or core frequency. I could, of course, just not use the "A.P.E." functionality, and run it at stock X800 Pro speed, and with the silence on the Toxic Pro it would be great...but then why not just get the higher performing 128MB 6800 for roughly the same price or less?
See my dilema? Lol.
Idealy, I'm hoping MSI's X800 XT or their GT or Ultra versions of the 6800 will have quiet cooling solutions. If they do, then it would save me alot of work making up my mind. No overclocking, guaranteed stability, total (or near total) silence, and guaranteed to handle Doom 3 (atleast fairly well... like I said, I'm not too picky), and I wouldn't feel short changed on performance either. As it stands now though, unless I can confirm whether or not they do, I'm going to have to settle for their standard (but extremely quiet) 6800 128MB.
Any further thoughts (anyone?) given the above considerations? Thanks again. I really appreciate it. Good idea on the Toxic Pro, just perhaps not ideal for my situation. -
Mac Pro 3.1 and ATI Radeon 3870 running Snow Leopard
Hi.
Anybody who can give me a straight answer here.
I have a Mac Pro3.1 8 Core 2.8Ghz with Radeon 3870 card. (Standard 2600 HD)
Right now it runs 10.5.8 with no problems but i want to update to 10.6.3 Snow.
But someone told me the 3870 card isn't working with Snow Leopard.
Is that right ?Someone? not working? I think they mean that some features won't be supported, like perhaps OpenCL.
Use GT120 cheap and works or shell out for ATI 4870 (or wait and see if anything comes out this year).
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC002ZM/A
Most of what is written seems like it wasn't a tech writer, but then Apple doesn't get into telling customers what UEFI/EFI64 is the over-riding requirement.
Take Apple hardware specs with grain of salt.
The 4870 works in ALL Mac Pro models (and look at the threads, or the comments on the product page why not). No mystery there either.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB999ZM/A
Even the GTX 285 works, if interested.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/TW387ZM/A
And one person has both ATI 4870 + GTX 285, using a couple break out power cables and adapters.
*2009 Mac Pro owner running GTX-285 and ATI 4870 Cards*
(via Aux power Y adapters) And yes, he knows that apple lists 300W Max for the PCIe cards in the manual.
I've got the dual high-power graphics cards running without a hitch. It's rendering with the GTX 285 and CUDA now while I use the computer with the Radeon 4870 (no GUI lag, which is a nice change from using the GTX 285) http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/ -

I am using a mac pro with a 2.7 GHz processor 8 gigs of ram and a Radeon HD 3870 video card with 512 megs of vram.
I want to upgrade to 1 gig of vram if possible.
Can anyone tell me where I can begin looking, what brand to buy, and what options I have?
I want to be able to use the Element 3D plug in After Effects.
Also, would I need to upgrade my operating system?
Thanks,
FaucheuxShop for them at the Apple Online Store. I would suggest the ATI 5770 or 5870 or one of the new Nvidia GTX models - 650 Ti, 660, or 680.
Note that unless your Mac Pro has PCIe 2.0 slots you should stick with the ATI 5770. -
Will the ATI Radeon 3870 help with my photo processing?
I have a Quad 2.66 Mac Pro with 7Gb of RAM and about 3Tb of HD space. It also has the stock NVidia GeForce 7300GT video card in it (256Mb VRAM). Over the past 6 weeks or so, I've noticed that general photo processing functions in Lightroom and Photoshop have started to crawl (I use LR 2.2 and PS CS4 on 10.5.6). Simple tasks as switching from one image to another or going applying relatively light filters cause the spinning ball to appear for upwards of 20 seconds. This never used to happen.
Full disclaimer: I have started processing RAW images taken with my Canon 5D Mark II which are around 25Mb a pop and doing heavy HDR work that creates 400-500mb TIFF files. Also, my current video card is driving a Dell 30" LCD and a Dell 24" LCD.
I was hoping to be able to breathe new life into this Mac Pro until Apple released a refresh to the line (which I assume will be within the next few months as it is due for an update).
So, my question is: should I expect a performance jump by upgrading the video card to the 3870? I am seeing a lot of comments re: fan noise but I'd be willing to put up with it if I can see a marked performance boost.
Thanks for your help, everyone!
BrianI would try a couple things:
Upgrade RAM to 4 x 2GB plus (maybe 4 x 1GB from what you have) for 12GB.
Scratch disk with Spotlight disabled, using a couple drives dedicated stipped RAID.
Pull the 7300GT for now, maybe replace it with ATI Radeon 2600.
http://www.barefeats.com/harper16.html
The benefit of the 3870 is there, but maybe not in ways you wanted or expect (and until GPGPU and other features come to CS4/5 and Snow Leopard).

My new Radeon X800 XT gives me... a blue screen
Hi everyone,
I was lucky enough to find a Radeon X800 XT at OWC, and when I install it, all I get are two solid blue monitors. I swapped back to my old video card (9600 Pro) and everything works fine, but when I install the new one...nothing but blue.
- The fan is spinning on the x800xt
- I have installed the drivers and all the updates from ATI.
- I am running OS X (10.4.8)
- I am using the AGP port ( I have an older G5)
Any suggestions? Hopefully it is I who is faulty and not the card...
thanx,
Massmore
Mac G5 PowerPC Dual 2Ghz, 4 G RAM, Mac OS X (10.4.8)I think either the ATI or Apple website advises not
to install any files, because Tiger already has the
latest versions. Did you try just installing and
starting up?
Anyway, let us know what OWC says. Thanks.
Thought I'd throw in my experience on that. I had to wipe my G5 and installed a fresh copy of Tiger. I ran all the Apple updates from Software Update etc. In my case however I forgot to reinstall any of the ATI software.
After 2 days, the fan on my X800XT would just stop. No warning, nothing, the fan would just stop (and in turn cause the card to start to overheat). After a quick restart/shutdown, the fan would spin right back up. Now, like MANY others have reported, my card's fan makes a lot of noise, so at first I thought the fan was gone. However, since my fan would start right back up after a reboot, I began to look into software stuff.
In the end I reinstalled all the ATI software (prefs pane, and the ROMXtender etc.), and have not had ANY fan issues for almost a month (knock on wood). I know I may have to replace my fan at some point, but these random stops were DEFINATLY a software issue, and just letting the Tiger driver's etc. sit alone caused my fan to just stop.
I know Tiger's updates are more recent than what is on ATI's site, but in my experience, only the ATI software kept my fan from stopping. Just my 2 cents…

Tm2t-1000: any new Radeon Mobility Drivers in future?
It's been a while since graphics drivers for the tm2t-1000 have been released. Being a 4550 mobility family of graphics I know that isn't much of a priority, but I do know that there is an updated Catalyst suite for generic 4550 radeon mobility since February. Will we see any new updates from HP for the tm2t-1000 to support more graphics profiles such as WebGL to today's new standards?
The only drivers are those installed as part of OS X. Or are you referring to the Windows drivers? Need to be clear to what you are referring. Any updated Windows drivers would be found at support.apple.com/downloads/.

In the new 3870 card, when and where is the HDMI output used? I thought none of the Apple Displays had HDMI connections. Is some kind of external box needed? Is this primarily for games?
CarlosOf course. Since that is something I would not normally do I not guess that.
Thank you for your reply.

Ati Radeon 3870 installation questions.
Hi,
I've just ordered a Ati Radeon HD 3870 to replace my nVidia 8800gt in my 2008 2.8ghz Mac Pro.
My question is:
Do i use the internal Power cable that is currently plugged into the 8800gt or the cables that come with the 3870?
I've also sold the 8800gt on ebay so does the current cable have to go with the card?
Also do i need to install the drivers that come with the 3870 or are they in os x?
Reading through bloggs and posts about this people also can't seem to decide weather to install the drivers first or install the card first.
Thanks.Two ideas:
Always backup before running any updates, patches, security or OS X update.
Rerun the full combo update 10.5.6.
At worst, do an Archive and Install, or do a fresh install on a newly formatted drive and then let it migrate your old files. Takes about an hour.
It could be something about how you 'downgraded' the drivers over what was present already.
Is there an ATI control panel?
If you look around, there are reports like yours, but I saw way more last Aug/Setp time frame. Either people are living with it, or RMA'd, or gave up, but it was common. Heck, there is an active thread on Mac Pro forum @ MacRumors site.

I like the 8800, it kicks in on cold boot in the AM and I don't push it, or hear it, but it does have a fan.
I wish there was a graphic driver from ATI/Nvidia, and option to use GPU-Z along with eVGA Precision in OS X. Even Hardware Monitor and iStatPro don't report temp and fan speed and other variables. +(I never used Windows in my life until lately, and I actually have fun playing around and learning more.)+ -
Power problems with Radeon 3870 on 2008 Mac Pro
I've got a 2008 Mac Pro (10.5.7) and I've replaced the 2600 card that came in it with two Radeon HD 3870s and I am having an issue.
The cards are in slots 1&2 (the higher speed slots.) After a short period of time, the card in slot 1 powers off its monitors, but the monitors on the second card remain active. Only a reboot reactivates the monitors on the first card.
In the process of debugging this I've removed all cards and put 1 3870 in slot 1. The problem remained.
I swapped in the other card in slot 1. The problem remained.
I then tried each card in slot 2. The problem remained.
I've reinstalled the 10.5.7 updater, but this didn't help either.
Here's what the card looks like in system profiler:

New Radeon 5770 1GB and old MSI RD480 Neo2 motherboard incompatible?
Hi,
Am having problems getting my machine to post after inserting a new graphics card: Sapphire Radeon 5770 1Gb. Have no problems with my old card in the PCI-E slot (X800GTO) - it works fine. But when I insert the 5770, the machine won't even post.
The core of my machine is ~4 years old, with a MSI MS-7194 RD480 Neo2 motherboard. I've updated the PSU to a Corsair 650W and as the light on the graphics card is on and ATI recommend a 450W PSU I doubt it's a power issue (and yes, I have attached a PCI-E power lead to the 5770)...
Is the issue that my motherboard is too old? Or is there a newer BIOS for it? I tried the MSI LiveUpdate tool which said there wasn't.
So I'm a bit stumped! Am in the process of putting a new machine together, but can only buy 1 or 2 parts each month - I was hoping to make the most of the graphics card before I had to cough up for a new CPU/Mobo!
All help gratefully received - thanks!
PS
Here are my system details:
Mobo: MSI MS-7194 1A RD480 Neo2
Bios: 26/2/2006 version (from msinfo32)
CPU: Athlon 64 X2 3800+
RAM: Crucial, 4x512Mb
GPU: Sapphire Radeon HD 5770 1Gb VaporX (no drivers installed as machine won't even post!)
PSU: Corsair TX650W +3.3V: 24A, +5V: 30A, +12V: 50A. Max combined +3.3/+5: 170W.
HD: SATA1: WesternDigital 200GB, SATA2: Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB.
DVD-RW Sony IDE0, DVD-ROM Sony IDE1
OS: Windows XP SP2There has been an on going problem with that model # in general and that brand & model in particular not working on a wide variety of MB's. On some MB's that have 2 16x slots it will not work in slot 1 but will in slot 2.

Spencer endorses Radeon 3870 card
http://provideocoalition.com/index.php/smartin/story/itsall_in_thecards/
There are a myriad of cards on the market, but if you have a Mac Pro, your choice is a simple one: you want the Radeon HD 3870. It’s quite simply the best card out there right now for Motion on a Mac Pro, it works on all Mac Pro models, and it’s surprisingly inexpensive at about $200.< </div>
Mark includes links to barefeats for perfomance comparisons (ooh, 10G RAM!) and a link to an Apple how-to on swapping graphics cards in the Intel.
Thanks, Mark, may you benefit tremendously from your help around here.

I suppose i should have replaced this thing right away, but ATI's been stringing me along with dumb suggestions. Plus, in my experience all questions asked via email, or forms have to be asked twice.

Haha
They have done this to me every time I've filed a ticket for something.
They ask me to use some Windows Catalyst driver, link to some PC FAQ or generally act stupid.
I does not matter if I repeat "Mac OS X" time after time - I'll get some win driver proposition anyway.
Anyhow - my 3870s fan revs like a mad one in both OS X and Vista and I asked what steps I should take. All they did was to post a link to a Warranty service & repair information for Windows X1900-series cards.
Thats all. So I guess they want me to return it.
