New video card

Have an H8-1559 that Im having video issues with
I bought the computer used with a 5670 video card, wanted to upgrade to something non legacy
I bought an asus r7 260x (2 gig ddrs) with some over clocking ability
Since installing the software, I have lost my regular catylst suite. asus has a seperate overclock utility
Im not too concerned with overclocking the cpu but that option is gone now too
The card seems to work fine, but I have the comuter set to turn off the monitor and when the monitor goes off the pc shuts itself down too, which I dont want.
I have tried with and without secure boot and legacy mode, reinstalling the drivers . still same issue
Any help would be appreciated

Yes it originally came with a 7570, and a 450 watt psu,
its running its original bios, i havent updated it unless it updates itself.
I bought it used, and had to tell the previous owner to disable secure boot, enable legacy mode
I was not aware the limitation on psu with hp computers, I am runningan 850w tr2 thermaltake, but it doesnt report right in speedfan, i guess know I know why.
it looks like others are as well.. with issues..

(dunno if external links are cool here)
I have looked at the voltages in hwmonitor and they seem way too low.. it is an older psu and probably taken a few surges.
I tried with the r7 260 card and had issues with it while it was turning off the monitors and I have tried the 750 which i know takes less power, but as soon as i installed its driver the pc went dead.
I have ordered a 600 watt psu and will go with the evga 750ti oc when it arrives. I may have to format to deal with all the reinstalls at this point but ill be glad to put it behind me and maybe play a game some time soon lol.
its weird because it has no issue whatsoever meeting the 5670's power needs, never had this issue until i tried new card.
my cmos battery did get popped last week and reset my settings, pushing me to look into all this this week, maybe next week ill be able to afford it if new psu doesnt work ill reset the jumpers i think the 750 will be ok in secure boot mode?
thanks

New video card for HP Pavillion Elite HPE-170t

Hi, I'm starting to get some screen artifacts sporadically, Ithink my video card is starting to go bad. i want to get a new one, but I am not sure what will fit. My computer HP Pavillion Elite HPE-170t:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-860 quad-core processor [2.8GHz, 1MB L2 + 8MB shared L3 cache]
8GB DDR3-1333MHz SDRAM
1TB 7200 rpm SATA 3Gb/s hard drive
1GB ATI Radeon HD 4850 [2 DVI, HDMI and VGA adapters]
Lightscribe SuperMulti DVD burner
15-in-1 memory card reader, 1 USB, 1394, audio
No TV Tuner
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium
I see by some other questions here several video cards suggested, but those replies were a few years old and those video cards are no longer available.
So, any suggestions on newer video cards under $200 that will pretty much fit and work as easily as possible? Thanks!

Thanks for the quick reply. I don't have another monitor to try, but the artifacts seem to sometimes move along with the mouse cursor. Sometimes I can scrill the artifacts away, other times the screen freezes.
I do have room for a double width card, but I was looking at the XFX R7 250E 800MHz 1GB DDR5 DP HDMI DVI Graphics Card, which seems to be a newer model of the XFX AMD Radeon HD 7750 1GB GDDR5 . Both are single wide and don't need an extra power connection.

New video card and now my computer wont sync the majority of my songs

My computer just got a new video card(not a motherboard i was wrong on my last question) and ever since they shipped it back whenever i plug in my ipod it says that most of my songs were not copied to my ipod because i am not authorized to play them on this computer. 700 of my 800 songs will not transfer to my ipod. i tried deauthorizing and reauthorizing several times and i deleted the sc folder too as suggested.
help please????
i dont know what to do. and i want my songs back.

Are you sure it meets all the requirements.. like at least 2 gb of ram and at least an intel core 2 duo proccesor?

When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive. It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas? I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

I need a new video card any suggestions?

Okay people I am in the market for a new video card and I need to choose between ATI and Nvidia. I plan to get either something in the X800 series or in the 6800 series. My budget is $400.

I cant complain with mine. I got it on sale for 245$ @ Compusa. Its quiet, never goes above 63C(? I havent seen it that high anyhow). However there is that problem with the vpu( full cpu usage or something when watching some media formats???). I would go X800 if you want to spend it all, or 6600gt AGP and something else like an mP3 player.

MS-6714 trying to install new video card

Well, I have done everything I can think of short of sledgehammering my computer into oblivion. Just bought this comp it is a 2.8 celeron using the 6714. Thought I could just stick a new video card in. It recogzines the video card, but will not use it. Even when I disable the on board through the device manager. It just uses generic vga drivers. Any clue how I can get this card to be used?

Hi,
Which 6714 are you using???
Check link:
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/search/ser/SerConProRes.php?keyword=6714&kind=1
Also,
1)have you disabled the ONBOARD graphics in the BIOS???
2)which video card you trying to install and which version of drivers?
3)what PSU do you have and model number?
Every single piece of info you give, shortens the answer/solution time...

So i am buying a new video card MSI GTX 970 and my PC is an h9-1300ex so i was wondring if i need to update bios or anything.
Thanks.

Hi, Your PC should be able to run the GTX 970. Open up your PC and check the auxiliary PCI-E power connectors and make sure that your PC has the correct plugs based one the GTX 970 model that you plan on using.

I purchased a new video card a few months ago to upgrade my somewhat-aged system. when i put it in the slot and started it would load for a second, but then restart in an infinite cycle.figuring it was a power supply issue i purchased a 650W PSU and plugged it in however this did not fix the problem.am i doing something wrong or does my motherboard not support such a new video card?

I am also suffering from the same problem. I have purchased a new video card and when installed the system is continually powering up then off. I have also replaced the power supply with a new 600W unit but still the same. I have checked that I have the latest driver and bios. Any help would be great.

My new video card shows me a small grey artifact at the bottom edge of the white screen at startup.

2 months ago I needed a new internal hard drive and a new video card. For the past months my white start-up screen shows me a small grey artifact that looks somewhat like a floppy disk. There are other small odd shaped artifacts around the lower corners of the start-up screen. Should I return my computer to the Apple repair/dealer to replace the video card?

Desktop frozen on startup after installing new video card. Please help!

Recently we upgraded my computers graphics card to a Gigabyte Geforce GTX650 and we have also upgraded the power supply to an EX2 525W power supply. When we plug the PCIE into the video card and enable the slot the screen goes to the standard startup screen and says press escape for startup menu but then freezes there. We have tried updating the BIOS and we have made sure that all the connections were secure. If we try having the video card plugged in and run the onboard graphics the computer will beep several times and there will be no screen output.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated on this!

I understand a new video card isn't working as expected.
What is the product number and model of the PC? The following document details how to find this information should you need it.

Add a New Video Card to K7N2G

I've added a new video card to my K7N2G, an ATI Radeon 9700 and it's working, but there seems to be lag when I'm moving between my applications. Do I need to disable my onboard card? If so How do I do it, does anybody know?

Thanks Wonkanoby !!!!
Moved from slot 1 to 2, IRQ changed to 16.:D Happy Days :D are here again. I've been agonizing over this for a few days now. While in my IRQ settings I noticed That my Standard Open HCD USB Host Controller is sharing IRQ 21 with NVIDIA NFORCE MCP Network. Does this have to be addressed also?

New Video Cards- Motion Performance

Anyone have any early insight on the new video cards and their expected performance with motion? Do you guys think the nVidia will out perform the ATI? As I recall, in the last batch the x1900 was the strongest for Motion.
Here are the new available build options for Mac Pros:
ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256MB (Two dual-link DVI)
2 x ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256MB [Add $150]
NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512MB (Two dual-link DVI) [Add $200]
3 x ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256MB [Add $300]
4 x ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256MB [Add $450]
NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600 1.5GB (Stereo 3D, two dual-link DVI) [Add $2850]

Some offline discussions and various lists of high end users indicate "no one knows yet." The new systems have not been tested by experienced users who can offer opinions I would trust. I'd certainly not rely on Apple's promises or claims. Give the motion graphics and video worlds a few months to play with them.
We also have no definitive answer to "Will any of these new cards work in older Intel Macs?" There is already uncertainty whether the newer form factor cards will work in the older form PCI slots. The mfrs a[[ear to suggest they will.
Save your money for a few more weeks!

System PSU requirements for new Video Card

I need to know if my system can support a new video card (fx5600 or radeon 9600 up) considering that I only have 300 watts psu. What voltage railing and how much current does these cards use? I cannot find any technical specs for these cards so I cannot compute for the power requirements my system will need if I change video cards.

Given a 300watts PSU, I would not placed my bets on either cards as the Fans don't really eats up the powers, it's the CPU + RAM + Mobo + VGA that are the main power consumers!!!
Considering a recommendation for you to go with the current PSU you have, most probably a GF4 MX440 will max out every supplement there.

Trouble adding new video card to p6-2310

I have the Pavilion P6-2310 (Windows 8.1, 64-bit) and I would like to add a new video card to the empty PCI-E slot in the machine. I would also like the keep the onboard video capability, as I'm looking to drive 3 monitors. I have an older GeForce 7300LE that I tried putting in last night and was able to get the card working by turning off Secure Boot and enabling Legacy Mode in the BIOS, but the machine would then not recognize the onboard video.
There were no settings in the BIOS to enable/disable onboard video (BIOS is AMI 8.04), so I'm wondering if there was a trick to keep the onboard video while using a PCI-E graphics card.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi:
When you install a discrete video card, the onboard graphics is automatically disabled.
Please see the video specs for the motherboard in your PC at the link below.

ITunes error with a new video card

I just installed a new video card. Geforce 9800gt.
Now when I start iTunes, the grid that lists the songs is shades of pink rather than gray. And the playlists appear blurry.
I have the latest drivers.
Has anyone else encountered this? Any suggestions?

Thanks!
That was exactly the issue.
I never thought about looking there. No telling how long I would have overlooked it.

Should I get a new video card?

Hello,
I currently have a Power Mac G5 with dual 1.8 GHz processors and the GeForce 5200 video card.
I have Final Cut Studio 2 and I cannot use Color.
Not being able to use Color is not a deciding factor at this point for getting a new video card, but I just purchased a new Canon XH-A1.
So from now on I will be editing in high definition. My main question is: Will getting a better video card effect render times, or is that strictly how fast your processor is?
If I should get a new video card and am not looking to spend a whole lot of money, what kind of video card would be reccomended? Also, is there such thing as third party companies making video card for Mac computers like, for example, EVGA does for windows computers?
Any help would be appreciated thanks!

Hi:
Will getting a better video card effect render times, or is that strictly how fast your processor is?
More memory will NOT give you better render times. You'll get better performance on using FxPlug (GPU accelerated) effects in FCP.
Motion is almost "unusable" with your standard GeForce 5200.
