OS X Pc Video/Graphic Card Universal Compatibility - Lets Get This Rollin

OK, I've been searching ALL OVER THE NET! to find this answer and I know alot of other people are looking to. What a lot of people wanna know and me being one, is what PC video cards are OS X as well as Windows Compatible. Either through flashing,hacking or just straight up plug and play, we all want to know. So if you can provide links to other forums or websites that have this information or if you can enlighten us on how and which video cards are compatible that would be great!
I'll start it off. I know its not a MONSTER VIDEO CARD, but its a cheaper PC then it is MAC. http://www.tenthousandpercent.com/?section=other&article=76 there you can find info on how to make a PC x1900 Windows and OS X Compatible. If I find more I will update this post if I find more info.

The dialog is slowly happening, Matrox, unlike apple replied today.
They are interested in gaming cards that fit the Mac
This what they said, it's a start, we will have to see what happens next..
Hello Paul
The quick answer is that Matrox already have technology that allows all
three groups of users to drive multiple screens. That technology is the
Graphics eXpansion Module (GXM). This connects to the graphics output of
the computer and persuades the GPU to deliver enough pixels down its
existing connection to support multiple screens.
In that sense we already have a 'universal' product.
At the point where this device sits (outside the computer enclosure),
the behaviour is dictated by the EDID mechanism rather than which OS is
being used. (EDID, in case you're not sure, is the protocol/mechanism by
which the screen identifies itself to the graphics chip).
Look here for more details: http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/gxm/
(Mac users are most attracted to the Digital Edition of TripleHead2Go -
since Macs have the DualLink DVI output)
I'm happy to enter into dialogue with you if you wish.

What graphics card is compatable with my presario sr1710nx pc.

What graphics card is compatable with my presario sr1710nx pc? The current one died and I get nothing on my monitor and I tried connecting another monitor and still nothing. So I assume it is the grahics card.
This question was solved.

Hi:
That is an old model.
The specs state it has onboard (integrated graphics).
If you are sure it is just the graphics that is kaput (you would know that if you hear Windows boot up and the logon music sounds or something) then...
I would get a used Dell Radeon HD 2400 on eBay which should work just fine for you, but you will need to have a monitor with a DVI connection and a DVI cable.
This is the cheapest one I could find.

Do I need to replace video graphic card or power supply unit on hp compaq presario sr2180nx

hello all
i saw a similar post over 4 years ago, however it doesn't address my issue.
my pc started stalling when i attempt to turn it on. It wouldn't come on. Then after several tries every now and then it would come on. I was told through searching that it could be the video graphic card or the power supply. Therefore once i had the computer back on. I never shut it off. However, i could reboot and it would come on.
Now it won't come on again. So i don't know what to replace. The video graphic card or the power supply. If it is the graphic card, do i replace the one previously installed or add a new one. And if adding a new one, what is recommended to be compatible with my 300 watt supply unit? I'm lost as what route to take and how.Below are the details of my unit.
HP/Compaq Presario SR2180NX desktop PC with a P5LP-LE motherboard with an Integrated graphics using Intel GMA 950.
*Integrated video is not available if a graphics card is installed.
Also supports PCI Express x16 graphics cards
300 watt supply.
thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

Is there an add-in video card in the slot? If so, remove it and try to turn on. If the problem is the video card it will turn on. If not it is the power supply.

How can you tell if your video/graphics card is failing?

I have been playing World of Warcraft for over 7 months now (insert geek jokes here), and I have never experienced the problems that I have been experiencing with WoW this weekend.
I was hoping that it was just a connection/internet issue with WoW, but when i play on my laptop (and older Powerbook G4), screen loads aren't slow like they are on my Intel iMac.
Yesterday and today have been horrible. I'll get disconnected at least 4-5 times (which NEVER happens) and when I am finally logged into my account for game play, it's horrible lag. And even then, it takes a while for the background or other characters to load.
I'm worried that it's my video/graphics card and might be failing. How would I know if this was the case?
I am still hoping it's just a connectivity issue and has nothing to do with my card. But I don't know at this point.
I'm very frustrated.
Any help and/or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Suzanne

Wow, ok, sounds like you are on the exact same path that I'm on. I'm a WOW player also, have had my iMac since 2008 (and play wow alot, raiding, etc) and recently it fried it's graphics card. I just replied to your thread about HDDs... so please see that response.
I'm convinced it's a heat issue and I have a feeling the latest OSX update may have changed something about the fan speed that caused extra heat to build up. Just a theory.
Anyway, your options are very limited for "fixing" a screwed up graphics card. Hopefully you have AppleCare, otherwise you're looking at ~$500 to fix this.
I'm not going to bother. Just bought a new monitor and graphics card for my 4y.o. Windows machine and will be using that from now on. I'll miss the Apple display and the operating system, but the hardware doesn't make me happy at all.
Good luck!

Video graphics card after wiping dv6000 clean and starting over with windows 7

i recently had a virus on my hp pavilion dv6000 notebook and it ate pretty much everything. the person who worked on my computer just started it over new with windows 7. this notebook was originally windows vista. i have tried to install the sims 3 which i have just bought brand new and it keeps saying that the video graphics card is not supported. i went to the update i found on hp.com but there isn't a choice in the systems options for windows 7 on this notebook model. what do i do now?

seems like sims 3 does not support your hardware w/c is your graphics card. updating drivers wont do much
but still if you want to update your graphics driver try going to hp.com and place in the search box your laptops product number and the hit enter, look for software and driver downloads link and you will see therer all the applicable updates for your hardware..

Model hp a622n desktop ... upgrade video graphics card for Windows 7

I have a hp a622n desktop that has a Micro Star International motherboard.
The Serial Number of the motherboard is 4311483428 ... bus clock 100 mghz ... Bios Award Software 3 26 05/09/2005
My monitor is a Samsung SyncMaster s/n GS19H9NX601526
Intel 82845 G/GL/GE/PE/GV Graphics Controller
It came with Windows Xp and I have done a clean install of Windows 7
I am able to use the monitor but ... when trying to activate the screen saver or putting it into the sleep mode ... I get a message that I need a video graphics card that supports 3D ...
Through my research I have found that a Radeon X1300 card ... #400558-001that is supposed to solve this problem ...
I was told that I need a PCI card ...
I have located this board at VisionTek ... their customer service told me to make sure that the motherboard will work with this ...
Will this board work ? and are there other boards out there that would also work ?
Thanks ...
This question was solved.

Lets start out with that is an antique system with limited options because it only has PCI slots and no normal video card. The card you are asking about does have "High Definition 3D Performance & Image Quality to Your PC" If you are considering getting one, try the EBay market as this is really old hardware and you can get one for near nothing. For Example: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Visiontek-Radeon-X1300-Graphics-Card-256MB-128bit-900106-/191175474229
Just make sure the one ordered is the PCI version.
There are other possible choices: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814187213

Sims 3 HELP (video graphics card)

Okay so I play the Sims 3 for around an hour and then all of a sudden the screen freezes up and after a minute or two the game closes and when I try to restart the game a message appears that says:
Unable to start game.
Device 0 cannot run this title. No supported video graphics card detected. Please check your system hardware.
So apparently I need a video graphics card? Any suggestions on which one?

I have the same problem. Here's what I posted on the official Sims 3 forum:
When trying to start the game, I get this error message:
Unable to start game.
Device 0 cannot run this title.
No supported video graphics card detected. Please check your system hardware.
This error just started popping up yesterday. I played all day before I started getting it. I have NVIDIA GeForce 88oo GTS 512s in there, and have no problem playing graphics intensive games. It's pretty funny that I can play Far Cry 2 with the settings maxed out but not Sims 3.
I have seen people mention this error on various other forums around the web, but no one seems to have an answer. I've reinstalled the game, graphics card drivers, and Windows itself trying to fix this. Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be?
I see a few other people have had this problem but haven't seen any answers yet.

Video/Graphic Card Upgrade

Hello,
I am looking to upgrade/replace my current video/graphic card to new one so that I am able to do video/photo editing (Adobe Photoshop CS6)
I am using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Service Pack 1
Here is my Video/Graphic Card infor:
Adapter: Inter(R) HD Graphics Family
   Current resolution: 1920x1080
   Refresh rate: 60
   Version: 8.15.10.2291 (1/27/2011)
Graphics memory: 1,696MB
Aero status: Enabled
Thanks for your help.

Here are the System Requirements for PS CS6.
The problem that you are facing is, the power supply unit (PSU) in the computer is 300W. Any of the video cards that will work properly with it will not be much better than the Integrated Video. Therefore, it will require a PSU upgrade, as well. I normally recommend at least 500W, but 600W is better for future upgrades. I like Corsair products. Any standard ATX PSU will work.
Now, for a video card. The video card that you buy should be PCI Express x16. A generation 2.0 or 3.0 will be backward compatible, but you will not get full benefit of it. I recommend finding a card that you like and making a template of it. If the card has extra PCIe power connectors, you should add at least 1" to the template. This will help you determine if the card will fit into the space provided. Here is a card the will do what you need. You should definitely make a template to assure that it will fit into the space provided. If not, it will give you a good idea of what you need.

Can i add a video graphics card to the HP TouchSmart 420t

I just purhased an HP Touchsmart 420T and I'd like to know if I can add a video graphics card?

This is the same answer that has been given for every model over the past 3 years and continues to be the case.
For all intent the graphics cards in the Touchsmart desktops are NOT upgradable, even with a "standard" MXM card since the motherboard and BIOS are custom made for HP and do not support additional non-HP graphics cards and their firmware/BIO

Video/Graphics Card to raise Windows Vista Readiness Score

If your like model desktop PC is like mine, then your Vista Readiness score for video/graphics/gaming is the lowest of all of the scores, or somewhere under 3. I would like to improve that score with an add of video/graphic card. I am not looking to go too wild, I just want to bring that score up to be on par of the rest of scores of 4-5 to a little over 5. Is there any recommendations from anyone who has tried this. What card did you use? One that will not eat up too much memory The addition of more memory will be my first step ahead of this one. I am not into gaming much, I just want my PC to work not so hard when displaying graphics and video.
Anyone, any idea?
Thanks,

About six months ago I installed an NVIDIA GeForce 8600GT. My graphics score is 5.9 and the Gaming graphics score is 5.6. It installed easily, and I haven't had any problems with it.

Video Graphics Card and the iMac

Can the video graphics card you have in the iMac be replaced with another graphics card?
Or is it hardwired in? Sorta like a wysiwyg?

Darren, thx for the list. I didn't think think the graphics card could be changed out, but I think it was worth asking.
Besides that, I think the Radeon 9600 card is a good enough card anyway

Video Graphic Cards (Dimension DXC061)

I am not very tech savvy so I am really confused about what graphic cards I need to get for my Dell Dimension DXC061 computer.
I've been having a lot of trouble playing a game (specifically called League of Legends) and I believe it's the problem of my graphics cards? It is a slim computer so I did hear that I would need a specific kind of graphics card that can fit in the slot.
My current graphic cards name is I believe: Intel(R) G695 Express Chipset Family
Can anyone help me on what graphics card I may be able to get that would meet the requirements of most game? (Nothing too hardcore, just normal typical games).
Thanks to anyone in advance.

You have a PCI-Express 16x slot available.
The good thing is that your computer came with a 375Watt power supply, so you most likely won't need to upgrade that.
Without knowing your budget, I'll throw out two options.
First one : http://www.bestbuy.com/site/PNY+-+GeForce+GT+620+Graphic+Card+-+700+MHz+Core+-+1+GB+DDR3+SDRAM+-+PCI...
Second : http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Asus+-+NVIDIA+GeForce+GT+640+1GB+DDR3+PCI+Express+3.0+Graphics+Card/6957...
Both are compatible with your system, and your power supply can handle them. Granted with the more expensive one, you'll get slightly better performance, I'll leave that up to your budget to decide.

Graphic card problem maybe? Since when I have changed the hard drive to my macbook pro and I installed all the new softwares, my mac is very slow and the screen gives crazy pictures,could maybe be the graphic card, does anybody have experienced this?

Graphic card problem maybe? Since when I have changed the hard drive to my macbook pro and I installed all the new softwares, my mac is very slow and the screen gives crazy pictures,could maybe be the graphic card, does anybody have experienced this?

after a restart it works for a time, but always slow. I went to the Applestore this afternoon and the made a check and said it would be the logicboard and they would have to change it for CHF 600 and it would be ready in 10 - 15 days
