NVidia Geforce 7800GTX ROM file for G5

Hi
I have tried to contact Rubytuesday for the ROM for this card with no luck so i was wondering if anyone had or knew where to get the best ROM file for this card.
Thanks ahead

Hi Japamac
Thank you for replying.
Where in the OS is it - I have done a search in finder and it does not show.
What do I type in to find it / location on OS10.4.11
That said I need to know how would I flash the graphics card (7800GTX 512mb) so it will work in my Power Mac G5 2.3GHz.
As I have never done this before.
Just so you are aware I have had mac for over 10 years so know most things, but this is all new to me - so dont know how to go about it.
I would really appricate your help.
I have virtual pc for mac - could I run this and flash the  card from this programme or does it need to be flashed from a real PC (I hate that word)
Can you tell me what "Flashing the card means ????
Also I have been given from someone else on here - 7800GTX PCIE ROM - whats this all about
I really appricate your comments & help
many thanks

  • NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT driver for Vista x64

    Hello,
    I have an issue with my new MacBook Pro 2.4Ghz 17" that was released on the 5th of June, 2007.
    It has NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT installed on it and I simply cannot find Vista 64 bit drivers for it.
    I have tried the latest beta Vista x64 drivers (163.11) downloaded from nVidia's official website. I have tried several previous versions including 100.97 one, which contains drivers for 8600M GT model. But they don't work with me. All the driver installation programs allert the following error and quit:
    'The NVIDIA Setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware. Setup will now exit'.
    I also tried Vista 32-bit drivers for 8600M GT. The driver installation program claims the operation system is wrong and quits.
    Anybody has the same issue?
    Does a working driver of nVidia GeForce 8600M GT for Vista x64 exist at all?
    MacBook Pro 2.4Ghz   Windows Vista   nVidia GeForce 8600M GT

    There was one Apple's presentstion where they boot into Windows Vista. So if you claim you can do it why do you forget about Vista x64 customers? I reckon it is because of Leopard that is coming. But it's not an excuse.
    I'm currently working in Vista x64 and everything is fine except one thing, I cannot find a working graphics card driver and it is manufacturer's responsibility to provide it. Apple knew there going to be customers who will install Vista x64 on their computers and they at Apple didn't care about it because I guess it's a lame war between you know who.
    So why you don't make everything perfect to attract even more Windows customers but instead you hint that you don't care about Vista x64 as you are getting your own 64-bit OS soon. So now they are forcing me to wait having been announced that I can use Vista. But isn't that kind of lame that it's slightly tardy? Why I should wait for Leopard launch if I was insured that Windows will work on my Macbook Pro? Because Apple claim you can run Windows. And don't say it's not official. Who else if not Apple made it possible to run Windows on Mac.
    Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to insult you. I'm just angry that I cannot find a working driver.

  • NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS upgrade for 24" aluminum iMac -- can it be done?

    I have a one-release-previous 24" aluminum iMac (bought about 2 months before the newest one was released). I play a lot of World of Warcraft, and would love to upgrade the video card to the new NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS that works in the current 24" iMac.
    Is there a way to do this at all? Apple solution, third-party solution, anything? I've heard rumors, but can't find out anything for sure.
    All help appreciated.

    Yes, I think it's technically possible, but you'd have to purchase the stock part from an Apple specialist (a corporate store probably wont do it) and have them install it. Expect to pay $300+ for the part alone. Even then, there's no real guarantee that it will work, even though they do indeed use the same form factor. There may be power/thermal issues.

  • New MacbookPro with Nvidia Geforce GT 750M 2GB for Premiere and Aftereffects CS6, CC and CC14?

    I have Premiere Pro and AE CS6.
    My Mac got stolen, now i have to buy a new one.
    I think about buying the new Macbook Pro Retina with Nvidia Geforce GT 750M 2GB Graphicscard.
    I want hardware which works fine with both Premiere Pro, AE CS6 and the later versions! (Maybe i want to upgrade some time).
    What is the best configuration on a MacBook Pro that i can work with CS6 and later versions as good as possible?
    What is Mercury Playback Engine?
    What's CUDA?
    Can i use this GPU acceleration on the latest Macbook Pro with Nvidia GT 750M card in CS6, CC and CC14?
    Thanks very much!
    Greetings!

    Considering the new 15"...( 13" is USELESS) ...Macbook Pro starts at over $2,500 with the necessary i7 CPU, ( forget i5).....you would be WAY better served to go with a powerful Windows gaming laptop for HALF that price from a company like Asus,or, others.  If money is no object and you MUST go Apple, then, there are SOME pros and some cons.
    1. Pro - has Thunderbolt, for hi-speed EXPENSIVE external storage, or, for Hi -res external monitor....however, MY 2 year old Asus laptop HAS a "thunderbolt" port , TOO...which I use to drive a hi-res monitor.
       Con - though NVidia 750m 2GB GPU is adequate for much of the CUDA accelerated operations, newer Windows laptops have more advanced 800 and 900 series GPUs with far more video memory...for HALF the price !
    2. Pro -  PPro and AE runs best with Windows 8.1
      Con -  Mac operating system in the recent past has had issues and hiccups vs. Windows in running Premiere Pro....I'm not sure if all that has been fixed at this time.
    3. Pro -  newest mac book pro uses PCI SSD storage...amazing transfer speed of data !.....however, a 1TB flavor of this costs an additional $1,000
       Con - not sure of the maximum amount of system memory that can be installed in MBOOK PRO..."Apple Chat" guy says 16GB.....you need at least 24 GB...better to have 32 GB for best  operation. Also, some Windows gaming laptops offer internal RAID options for high speed storage ,or, at least two internal HDD bays for SSDs.
    In addition : The "Mercury Playback Engine" is a feature of Premiere pro which allows for the "acceleration" of certain effects and operations on the timeline...in many cases eliminating the the need to "render previews" to see what you are doing. When coupled with a capable NVidia GPU, this acceleration can produce a TEN TIMES IMPROVEMENT in processing the effects,or, operations, ( like "scaling"  and resolution conversions ) using the NVidia ONLY CUDA technology.
    In summary, the 16GB memory limit , the lower level NVidia mobile GPU, and EXCRUCIATING HIGH PRICE all tip the scales for me to say : NOOOOOO !!!!!......DON'T DO IT !!!
    IF a laptop is a MUST.....go with a Windows gaming rig and READ as much as you can first. If a desktop is a possible solution, you can get WAY better performance than a laptop...especially with today's Haswell E CPUs and the X99 motherboards.
    I would wait a little bit for all the machines to hit the market which have the NEW " NVMe" PCI SSDs in them, or, build your own on a motherboard which will NATIVELY have that feature.
    Good Luck !

  • Anyone experience flashing a NVIDIA GEFORCE 8800ULTRA (PC-version) for Mac Pro 3.1 ...?

    I have a NVIDIA GeForce 8800ULTRA (that I bought new, a few years ago, for my PC) that I would like to use (if possible) for my Mac Pro 3.1
    I know... There are 8800GT's for the Mac Pro 1.1 & 2.1 ...
    But the 8800ULTRA was the flagship, so I would like to use it for my Mac Pro, if possible.
    Anyone experience in flashing video cards...?

    As the User Tip indicates, there are tradeoffs. It will not work "just like a genuine Mac" card:
    If you are Meet ALL of these:
    • running 10.8.3 or later AND
    • don't care about "no boot screens" etc AND
    • can re-wire or otherwise "work out" the power cabling, THEN:
    You can use many more cards, even most "PC-only cards".

  • NVIDIA GeForce 2 Ultra drivers for Solaris 8

    I am having trouble making the GeForce 2 Ultra drivers from NVIDIA. I have the latest gcc and make from GNU, but I keep getting errors. Has anyone been able to successfully load them and get them to work with the GeForece? Thanks in advance.

    unixforall,
    I had the same problem under linux. I can only tell you what I did for Linux as I haven't had a chance to download Solaris yet. Get the following file:
    ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/4.0.2/Install
    If you follow this step by step (it is very self explanatory) then you should end up with a few binaries that are compatible with the GeForce. In particular the XFree86 X server module. I don't know if there are any other catches with Solaris but with Linux (RH7) this worked like a charm (except I overwrote my previous config files and had to reinvent the wheel - be careful backup all config files if you are going to overwrite them). Anyway I hope this is of some use.

  • Nvidia Geforce 8600M GT Driver for Vista

    Hi mac-world!
    I'm using BootCamp to start Windows Vista on my Mac Book Pro. I recently bought a seperate TFT-Display from Belinea, which I connect to my Mac Book via DVI. This isn't a Problem while using MacOS, but in Vista I can't adjust the resolution of the seperate Display to more than 1024x768 px. I already installed the Belinea Driver, but that doesn't solve the problem.
    I am wondering, if I maybe need a driver update for the grafic-card. Unfortunately, Nvidia doesn't provide a driver download, but says, I need to contact my Laptop-Vendor for this issue. I didn't find a driver-download section on this page. Does someone know a solution? Where do I get the new driver?
    Thanks in advance
    regards
    Thorsten

    In my case after going through normal Shut Down procedures, I
    noted that after I go through normal shut-down-from-Windows, the machine does not power off. I can only turn off the machine by pressing the power switch for a few seconds.
    When I do not press this switch, Windows restarts after about ten minutes;
    after, however, I receive a brief report (which I never manage to read in full)
    informing me that a software may not have been properly installed or that I
    need a windows update.
    This problem appeared long after I installed all the software that I use,
    and I have checked whether I'm fully updated (I am).
    Lately when I start-up after experiencing this problem, Windows indicates
    that the problem is caused by an NVIDIA graphics driver and suggests that I
    check for a driver update. I have tried the NVIDIA Website but there was no
    reference to the graphics card installed in my machine, namely GeForce 8600M
    GT - I only found a driver for GeForce 8700M GT.
    I have since solved the problem as rerported in http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1492731&tstart=0
    However, I stll wonder why there is no reference to 8600 in the NVIDIA site.

  • Nvidia Geforce 650m driver problem for windows 8.1 on macbook pro

    Hey guys. I installed windows 8.1 on my macbook pro (mid2012, Intel core i7, retina, Geforce 650m) of course only for game, but I have a disappointing problem with the graphics driver. First I tried to instal graphics card driver by bootcamp (not the last version, the one before the last) .It started to install drivers one by one starting with graphics card, but suddenly the screen got black and remained black forever! I restarted the windows and guess what! after windows logo it got black and nothing more! Then I installed windows again and tried to install driver from windows update. It checked for update and found the driver for it and downloaded it and started to install, but again the black screen !!! Please help me thanks.

    no this does not work. bootcamp drivers are broken for windows 8.1 on an efi install. apple is withholding the discreet gpu drivers from microsoft to trick people into thinking osx is more stable/efficient and thus windows cannot detect which gpu it is supposed to use when it can see both. the discreet gpu is hidden in the fake bios setup that bootcamp wants you to install with. the problem with doing this is that the more powerful gpu is all you can use in windows so the computer runs more hot and is louder which is annoying and hard on the battery life.
    thanks apple, if i knew that when i bought the laptop i would have gone with something else.
    This is not correct. If you force an EFI installation on a preUEFI Mac, you will see GPU and Audio errors. A non-EFI Hybrid MBR installation works correctly. Does Windows have the ability to switch GPUs? OS X, using external monitors, uses the non-Intel discreet GPU and the machine does not run hot. If Windows can provide dual-GPU support (which they have) and also provide GPU-switching (missing), this can be done. Can it be done for older hardware, highly unlikely. MacRumors has threads with PCI Register changes to expose the Intel GPU and the machine still runs hotter.

  • Driver Update for NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 for Windows 10.

    When will HP put out a update to this Display card so we can upgrade to windows 10. This card is in a lot of HP computers and they cannot upgrade to windows 10. This is the only item that is holding me back from upgrade.

    You may want to give my suggestion a try. Worst case scenario is you add a $35 video card or roll back to W7. Here is how to roll back to W7 from W10 if things don't go as planned. I still think my idea has a good chance of working. http://www.askvg.com/how-to-restore-previous-windows-version-after-upgrading-to-windows-10/ Yes, it would be nice if the hardware manufacturers would develop W10 drivers for all devices that worked on W7. You get this hype about a free upgrade and then you can't, because the hardware doesn't have driver support. But if you read the system requirements for W10, your PC meets those requirements. Basically any PC that could completely run Vista should have been able to run W10. But nVidia won't be developing any W10 drivers for that chipset and graphics.  They didn't develop any W8.1 drivers either. I have an old HP nc6400 business notebook PC, and there is only driver support up to Windows Vista. I installed W10 and it works just fine.  I manually installed some of the Vista drivers and used the W7 Intel graphics driver from Intel. Sometimes if you can't go through them, then you have to go around them. 

  • Compatibility of Nvidia GeForce GTX 780 Ti for Premiere Pro

    Hi,
    I am upgrading my workstation and plan to buy a good quality graphic card which will support smooth editing of 1080p footage and some after effects rendering.
    I chose GTX 780 Ti but unfortunately in the compatibility list provided by Adobe, only GTX 780 is supported. So if GTX 780 Ti is used, can I use the Mercury Playback Engine and take full advantage of the graphic card?
    Also is my select correct? I was at first confused selecting between Nvidia  Quadro K4200 and GTX 780 Ti. I will not be using Maya or 3D Max. Only Premiere Pro, After Effects and sometimes Da Vinci Resolve will be used.
    Thanks,
    Srijit

    Yeah, it works great as mentioned in the table with recommended video cards, if you have at least:
    An overclocked I7 6+ core CPU, or Dual E5 6+ core CPU's, and
    64+ GB RAM, and
    800+ MB/s transfer rates on all volumes.
    Otherwise it is overkill and the card will be idle most of the time. See Tweakers Page - Exporting Style

    Dear Ms. Andersen:
    Evga handles GeForce GTX 680 MX. Apple has nothing to do with it. However, I can try to help you a little bit
    go here for Evga's Mac support: http://www.evga.com/support/download/default.aspx
    This is one of those video cards that needs 2 power cables connected to the mother board for it to work propertly. It needs 195 watts of power, which  the PCI-E slot will not provide on its own. If you have the power cables connected up okay, then the only advice I can give you is to telephone EVGA and see about a possible replacement.  Apple's policy, as I understand it, is to replace same with same, even if you have the money and are willing to pay extra. This is a 3rd party video card and as such, Apple is not responsible for any problems wth it.  I don't understand either: based on my knowledge of Norwegian,  your screen size is 1280x800 and your bit depth  is 32 bit, and you have 2 gigs Vram, so you should have no problem.
    maybe you have a bad card
    good luck to you

  • Update drivers for NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M

    Need the updated drivers for NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 330M that comes with my Vaio Z  VPCZ128GX , the drivers in eSupport are from 2010, and nVidia software does not detect the 330M card
    VPCZ125GX

    I've updated my VPCZ1 to 340.43 drivers but it still won't accept the transition to Windows 10, seems like they just want to find any excuse to back out of their promise of a free upgrade for windows 7 users. For anyone who is editing .inf files and still not able to get it to work, you need to update your intel drivers first. The process is a bit awkward, I tried to update the Geforce with a few pre-modded drivers, using the device manager. It would always freeze during installation or ask to reboot and start in 800x600 resolution. I also tried the latest intel drivers but was unable to update them at the time, so I gave up on the idea for a while. Later, I ran into trouble running GTAV, the game would start fine but suddenly crash to desktop while loading. I remembered how the latest driver broke the intel driver, so I rebooted with the laptop in "stamina", installed the latest compatible onboard graphics driver and rebooted in "speed" mode, which incapacitated the 2010 nvidia driver so I had a new "unknown device" under "display adapters" in the device manager. I pointed it to the 340.43 drivers (latest driver I could find for 330m which still uses inf files) which I modified earlier and success, GTAV now runs. Editing inf files is surprisingly simple, just find mention of "330m" in one of the inf files (which are lists of subsys numbers) and replace the subsys number with the one from your card in device manager when using the 2010 drivers. (there are alraedy a lot of them in the inf, I guess it's true that no two 330m are the same) I've always left it on "speed", ever since it booted with the new drivers, The GPU is easily underclockable using Precision X for more battery life. http://i59.tinypic.com/swd3lx.jpg Only side effect I know so far is that the screen rotation doesn't work, although I never tried it with the old driver combo.
