No Video Card Works - 845E-Max

I purchase a new 845E-Max several years ago, and could not find a video card to work on this board. I gave up and put the board in storage until recently (hate to discard a new board). when I place a video card in the board it will not start. when the card is partly removed from the agp slot the board powers up, place card into board it shuts down.
I have tried MSI G4 Ti4200, MSI Ti4400, MSI FX5200, Jaton 3DForce TNT2 4x AGP card. I can remember trying some ATI cards too. I was hoping to put this board together for the holidays and here i am with the age old problem of "no video card works" I know this is a AGP 4X board - Any suggestions ? ? ?
Thanks - Hap

hi I suggest you take the board out of your chassis, assemble it on your desk, then try to slot in your display card. It could be due to your chassis and the motherboard doesn't fit well so whenever you fully slot in your display card, it just couldn't fit in well.

Dual Video Cards with 845e max2

I cant seem to get dual video cards working with my new MSI 845e max2 board.
i have one AGP TNT2 64 this card works fine i have tried two PCI video cards.
i have also flashed the bios to the Latest release.
XP with SP1 finds the second video card but says device will not start, i have also tryed different PCI slots, still the same error.
I would love to get this working due to doing mostly a lot of Video Editing can some one please shed some light on this.
Many thanks
MAV

I have only setup dual Video on 845 Max but
use nvidia chipset on all cards PCI tnt2 m64s and any AGP that is nvidia
Use a new driver detonator 30+ and you may have to shuffle the PCI cards around if you have a'hardware conflict
Works under 9x, W2k and XP
Make sure all the cards are using the same driver version... you may have to manually udate each driver in some cases

Will these video cards work with CS5?

Will any of these video cards work with Premiere GPU?
GeForce GT 640
GeForce GTX 650
GeForce GTX 660 Ti
GeForce GTX 670
GeForce GTX 680
Thanks
Brandon

Yes, provided they have at least 1 GB VRAM. See for instance http://ppbm5.com/MPE%20Charts.php or http://ppbm5.com/DB-PPBM5-2.php
Select Video Card / GeForce 600 Series and sort on the column header. There are no 640 cards yet.

Will other non-supported video cards work with premiere pro?

I have some older Dell Optiplex 755 and 760's that have limited space for graphics cards. Most everything that I find that will fit or I can afford are not on the Premiere Pro system requirements list of supported cards. Will others work?

Initial benchmark results with AMD cards show they are about two times slower than equally priced nVidia cards.
From: Tweakers Page - What video card to use?
To say that one solution is 2X faster across the board on comparably spec'ed cards would be incorrect.
Based on ...???
AMD and Intel cards used with the perpetual license are at least 10 x slower than nVidia cards when hardware MPE is turned on.

Will X1650XT 512MB AGP Video Card work with 865PE MS-6728?

Hi,
My video card is fried, so I'm thinking of upgrading to a HIS X1650XT AGP 512MB video card. I read somewhere that some motherboards have issues with 512MB video cards. Is this true? I can't find anymore info on whether this motherboard will support this video card.
http://www.hisdigital.com/html/product_ov.php?id=276&view=yes
Anyone have any input?
Thanks!

No need to get hostile, I didn't say you were an idiot. Though continuing to make uninformed statements might get you there....

The video cards need at least 30A to make the card run properly. That's pretty damn easy to understand how the last PSU was the problem.
Actually, it doesn't. The 30A figure cited by the manufacturer is a worse case scenario for +12V needs of the entire system + the graphics card. The X1650XT doesn't even need an auxillary PCI Express power connector and can be powered entirely through the PCI Express slot, which supports a maximum of 75W.
If you need further proof of this, for CrossFire setups the manufacturer cites a figure of 38A on the +12V rail. If one card requires 30A, how could two cards require only 8A (96W) more than one? The same requirements are stated for X1950XT (30A single and 38A Crossfire), so its a highly generic target that attempts to account for an entire range of power supply rating methods and total system power demands.
Here are total power consumption measurements of whole systems used in various X1650XT tests:
Intel Core 2 Duo Extreme X6800 @ 2.93 GHz
Corsair TWIN2X2048-8500C4
Western Digital 150GB 10K Raptor
Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Value
AMD ATI Radeon X1650 XT
Total system power under 3D load = 206 Watts MAX
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+
2GB Crucial PC-4000
Western Digital 74GB 10K Raptor
AMD ATI Radeon X1650 XT
Total system power under 3D load = 192 Watts MAX (only 66W higher for 2 x X1650XT in CrossFire)
Intel Core 2 Duo Extreme X6800 (2.93GHz/4MB)
Seagate 7200.7 160GB SATA
Corsair XMS2 DDR2-800 4-4-4-12 (1GB x 2)
AMD ATI Radeon X1650 XT
Total system power under 3D load = 182 Watts MAX
Those are figures for TOTAL system power needs, not the graphics card itself. Here are figures just for the X1650XT from X-bit Labs:
55.2 Watts @ full load
That's not more than 5A MAX from the +12V rail. Even assuming a 20% VRM loss, gets us to around 6A MAX.
As anyone can plainly see, the manufacturer's stated requirement of 30A is a hugely overinflated number to help people avoid purchasing a power supply like this because they are looking only at hugely inflated total power.
Given that your X1650XT could not possibly require more than 6A of 12V+ power, and high-end systems using overclocked Dual Core Extreme don't even consume more than around 250W TOTAL (all components combined, factoring VRM loss), the evidence is now overwhelming and beyond dispute that your previous power supply was more than adequate and that inadequate power was never the cause of your problem. It could have been defective, but that isn't the same as having inadequate power.
Questions?

Will this video card work with my new lenovo desktop? please help!

None of my games work on my new Lenovo Desktop due to the integrated factory GMA3100 graphics adapter! Can anyone tell me if the Radeon will work? Thanks!
Desktop-
Lenovo 3000 H210 57088851
vista. (about 3 months old)
video card-
Radeon 9800 Pro 256 meg.
Intel® Pentium® 4, AMD® Athlon® or higher with AGP 8X (0.8v), 4X (1.5V) or Universal AGP 3.0 bus configuration (8X/4X)
Message Edited by mike114 on 05-01-2009 07:49 AM
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I'm not sure- but it would appear that I'd have to buy a new power supply as well, since the factory one I think is only 265??? Which seems pretty low for a system with an Intel Dual Core, DVD burner, 500 gig HD & 4gigs of memory! Seems most PCI express gaming cards need atleast 300 watts-

What AGP video cards work with the MEGA PC

Hi,
I am a newbie to this forum and a new owner of a Mega PC651. I will be configuing it with the following:
512 MB DDR 2100 RAM
Celeron 2.4Ghz CPU
Digital Research Technologies DVD+-RW/+-R
I want to play 3D games like C&C Generals with the system but am afraid that the SIS651 will not support them.
I have a ATI 9700 All-in-wonder Card in my son's computer but am concerned about heat generation in the Mega PC after reading several reviews. Also, I think that he will be very angry if I steal his card.
Can anyone recommend a moderately priced Video card MSI or other that will fit and will not cause any heating problems?
Thanks,
Charlie G

Windows XP supports up to AGP 8x.
I have a 9600 pro at the moment. I don't think that VGA silencer will work - if it takes up the PCI slot, then there will be nowhere for the cooler to draw air from because it will be pressed up against the case.
I am currently running my 9600 pro without any additional cooling and it seems to be doing ok. I did have a unit somewhat like this:
http://www.frozencpu.com/cgi-bin/frozencpu/slf-01.html
It definately helped the cooling but the noise began to get to me. I recently sorted out my CPU cooling problems and so the main source of noise was my system exhaust above. I have taken it out and have been playing several high graphics games with no problems yet.
As for only supporting up to 4x, the 9600 pro will not be dragged back much. When it gets to the point that games require more than 4x speed to pass full detail for a decent framerate, the 9600 pro will start to struggle anyway. You will have a slight performance decrease, but nothing that will turn a game from being playable to un-playable. I would have bought a better card but the 4x speed would limit the cards actual power so there wouldn't have been any point.

Can a video card work sometimes, but not always?

I'm really confused. After talking with AppleCare, I believe we've determined that my video card is failing. I would frequently get a black screen and would not be able to remove it, regardless of restarts, PRAM resets, everything you name it. Just wouldn't work. Then, all of the sudden, it will work. It's the weirdest thing.
Is this common for video cards? Can they be broken, but yet sometimes work? Or does it sound like there could be another issue with the mac pro?
Thanks,
Josh

Yes, the X1900 can do many mysterious video things. I have one of the originals and now it is out of warrantie and does many things, the screen goes black randomly, but comes back in a second or two. It will sometimes randomly flash black 3 or 4 times and then not do it for days. (It's doing it now! Still flashing, goin' die on me?) I use a second monitor sometimes and the X1900 randomly remembers the second monitor and resets the main monitor to have the same screen settings when the second monitor is not present. The second monitor has never been the main, so there is no logic there. I bought an aftermarket fan and put that on as that little blower that came with it is useless. The card probably overheated many times before finally showing the effects after warrentee period. Now that I know about the problem it is so touchy. It probably only has a few months before it fails outright. It overheats unless I keep my fan running at 1500rpm+ using SMC fan control.

How to tell if video card works at 8x speed on MS-6570 K7N2-ILSR?

my mobo is MS-6570 K7N2-ILSR with the latest bios update and my video card is ATI READON 9600 236mb 8x agp and windows xp pro sp2.
when installing ATI Catalist v5.9 (the latest), it configures the card at agp speed: OFF.
in the bios, all i have for agp speed is: AGP 8x - enable/disable.
my friend have gigabyte mobo with the same video card and ati catalist configured his video in windows xp pro sp2 at 8x speed.
why ?
is there any configuration i should check in the bios and/or in windows ?

How Multiple Video Cards Work?

Let's say I buy a MacPro with 2 video cards and I name the outputs 1 through 4. I want outputs 3 and 4 to mirror output 2, but I don't want to have to run output 2 at the same resolution as outputs 3 and 4. Is this possible?
From output 1 I want to output 1920x1200 (Dell 24" native resolution)
From output 2 I want to output 1920x1200 (Dell 24" native resolution)
From output 3 I want to output 1024x768 (Projector native resolution)
From output 4 I want to output 2560x1600 (Dell 30" native resolution)
This installation is for a church auditorium where the computer operator will have a left and right computer monitor. There will also be a projector and a confidence monitor.
Any insight into how you can assign video to different monitors will be helpful.
Thanks,
Chris

If you mirror displays 2, 3 and 4, 2 and 4 will only use a 1024 x 768 section in the center of the display, with a black border filling the rest of the screen.

Will a double-wide PCIe video card work with my iMac?

I have a 24-inch Aluminum iMac and plan on doing some serious gaming with it on Windows XP.
1. If I were to buy a graphics card, such as the soon-to-come 9800 GTX, would it fit?
2. What currently available NVIDIA GeForce 8800 and 9800 cards are Mac compatible?
3. Would it void my warranty if I switched it out myself?
4. Could I get a Genius at the Apple Store to put it in for me?

There are no solutions that are going to give you better graphics performance than the graphics processor built into your iMac. Any external solution for driving a display would have to connect via USB or Firewire, either of which would be significantly slower than the onboard video.
Sorry, but if you want better graphics performance, you'll have to buy a different computer.
Note, though, that adding RAM to your system (your profile says that you only have 1GB) will offer improvements in overall performance and is highly recommended if you intend to run Windows, either via Boot Camp or a virtualization solution (most especially the latter).

Sorry, NO these will not working your computer. Even if you found a compatible MXM HP graphics card, you would still need to replace the CPU heatsink/fan assembly to one designed for use with the additional GPU.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Will a XFX NVIDIA GeFORCE 7800GT VIDEO CARD work in a G5 quad?

I am thinking of getting a new graphics card and saw this one: XFX NVIDIA GeFORCE 7800GT.
I was just wondering if it will actually work in a Mac?
Thanks

Nope, that's a PC card. The ROM file on that card will be designed to work with a PC's BIOS and won't work with the Mac's Open Firmware.
You either need to find a Mac version of this card, or the firmware needs to be flashed with a Mac ROM. More information is available here.

2nd video card does not work

I have a spare Mac Pro here so I decided to remove the video card and put it in the one I'm using. Both machines were purchased in '09 and use the same video card (ATI Radeon HD 2600). The two monitors I have hooked into the original video card work fine but the monitors I hooked into the newly placed video card are not working. Under the About This Mac specs >> PCI cards it shows up and says driver is installed. Is there anything special you need to do to get a second video card to work?
Thanks.

I tried the SMC reset. I removed the card and reseated it. I'm seating it in slot 2 because that's the only other one that is x16. The other slots 3-4 are x4. Still nothing is showing up. When I go to System Preferences >> Displays >> Detect Dispalys nothing happens. The two displays plugged into the original video card work fine but the newly installed on does not show up. Here is what the Mac Info is detecting. Maybe this makes sense to someone. Not sure what MSI is referring to and the second video card is reading as "display" instead of "ATI Radeon HD 2600". Link speed on the second card is half that of the original.

Matrox g200 Video Card, mga driver not working in Xorg7

Hello! This is my first post in the forum...greetings everyone!
So I'm trying to get a Matrox g200 Video Card working -- but I get an error mga_hal module missing...
I've done a few searches and come up basically empty. I have seen from another user on this forum that I can use the Vesa driver...just wondering if anyone's found a soloution to using this card under xorg7...?
I tried installing the driver from their site...however, it detects that I'm running xorg7 and refuses to install...
Any ideas? Surely someone has already been down this road...
Thanks
nedson

I got the probelm worked out ---
but still getting an mga_hal error which i'm going to ignore :-).
Thanks!
