P55 GD65 support dual slot video cards?

can anyone confirm this?

Yep, just make sure that you do not have any PCI cards on the next slot and you will have no problems fitting it in.

Any suggestions for dual dvi video cards that will fit the Elite 8000 SFF?
Thank you,

Hi:
The standard card is the Radeon HD 6350.

10.10.3 breaks support for ATI video cards

The 10.10.3 update has broken support for a bunch of ATI video cards that worked just fine under 10.10.2. This is for my Mac Pro 5,1. Some folks also reported issues with breaking support for Nvidia cards, but have mentioned that the latest Nvidia beta drivers might work.
There is a thread that may be found here that has some details:
OS X 10.10.3 Update
and here (reverting back to 10.10.2 fixes things):
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1864352
Specifically, my Visiontek Eyefinity 6 7750 stopped working, and another users Radeon 7770 stopped working. Yet, the 7970 continues to work. Reverting to the old ATI 5770 that came with the machine renders it usable. This is a problem as the 7750 only took a single slot, and the two 5770s eat up 3 slots so I can't use my USB 3 card, etc.
I remember this once happened before. I think it was with the 10.9.2 update which borked a bunch of video cards that worked fine under 10.9.1, and then were again made to work just fine with the 10.9.3 update.
All the 'standard' fixes have been attempted. Clean installs. Fix permissions. Etc.
Not sure why apple would seemingly disable support for these cards, other than by accident, I assume, much like happened with the 10.9.2 update.
Also not sure if just copying the correct driver from 10.10.2 might solve the problem until Apple get's around to fixing the issue. Has anyone tried? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, i am using dual Cinema Display 30 and 23 with a HIS ATI 7750 1 GB on a Mac Pro 3.1. Post upgrade from 10.10.2 to 10.10.3 my display eded unusable blurry. Therefore I have tried to replace the 10.10.3 kext with the previous 10.10.2. But it did not work out as expected. I managed to get some video output but no acceleration at all. Therefore the system is unusable. Therefore i full downgraded to 10.10.2 now.
Never the less it might be a good starting point for someone to get acceleration running. This is what I did:
I have to set the nvram variable kext-dev-mode=1, but be warned this will allow any unsigned > .kext to load, including rootlets, malware, etc.
I did this in order to allow me to modify the kext if necessary and to ensure that if 10.10.2 kext might be locked that they still be loaded and the computer will not be prevented from boot.
sudo nvram boot-args="kext-dev-mode=1"
sudo shutdown -r now
Post this i copied from my other Mac running 10.10.2 the file /System/Library/Extensions/AMDRadeonX4000.kext to my Mac Pro 3.1 running 10.10.3 with no proper video output. Basically i copied all ATI related kext from one mac to the other.
copied [MAC10.10.2]/System/Library/Extensions/ATI* ----> [MAC10.10.3]/System/Library/Extensions/ATI*
copied [MAC10.10.2]/System/Library/Extensions/AMD* ----> [MAC10.10.3]/System/Library/Extensions/AMD*
someone needs to do a diff here to identify the file with is necessary the only one i found with a significant change seems to be AMDRadeonX4000.kext
I forced to rebuild kext cache manually
sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions
sudo kextcache -m /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/Extensions.mkext /System/Library/Extensions
And reboot!
sudo shutdown -r now
After the reboot I had display output but no acceleration at all. Seeing the video out put made me happy but the system is unusable to to the lack of acceleration of the display. I am really looking forward for Apple to fix the update and to reapply support for the ATI GPUs hence it allows to save environmental resources to keep good products like the Mac Pro 3.1 running...

Which dual DVI video card for Mac Pro?

We just got a Mac Pro at work with a single DVI port video card. Want to use 2 monitors, but don't want to order an incompatible card. Don't need screaming performance, just a stable setup for a sprawling desktop with some applications running low-res/low-frame-rate animation.
One Evga card that looked like about the right specs was shown on MacMall's site as 'platform: universal' but the manufacturer's site specifed Windows and Vista. Called MacMall and tech support said it wasn't supported. So, now I'm suspicious.
Anyone have a list of decent cards that will work? Would like to keep it at or under $100.

You could just add an adapter, though not everyone is happy with that, for your 2nd port on the GT120.
Could wait for Nvidia eVGA GTX 285 Mac Edition next month.
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/EGVA/01GP31080TR/
There is/was and should be 8800GT with nice specs and dual monitor support.
Barefeats is a great resource of tests and benchmarks.
This gives a good idea of what cards and what to expect:

Got 970A-G46 No support for 4 Video cards?

Hello, Got this board under the impression I would be able to run 4x individual video cards under a Linux install for work related projects, thus each card is on its own processing data. Right now I have 3 video cards working, but once I introduce the 4th video card, the motherboard starts to not work correctly as in sometimes 1 video card works, and none of them are detected, I do a reboot then a different card is seen and that's it.
I have verified I have enough power from my PSU
I'm using x1-x16 power risers so each card is hooked up for power to reduce the strain on the motherboard itself.
I have verified that each card is non DOA, each riser is correctly working and tested.
I'm trying to figure this out so I don't gotta swap to another board which will allow me to run 4x Video cards for my work related projects at my job. Thanks.
Latest Video drivers, latest BIOS, RAM working correctly, nothing is overheating. each PCI-e slot is alive.

It is not possible to run the board with four vgas. NO 970 board is meant for that tasks. Abnormal usage for mining is not officially supported and a matter of your luck and your research to find products working with odd configs. This board features two physical X16 slots and these are obviously the only slots to support vgas. There is no X1 vga. Risers aren't supported. The maximum possible with 970A-G46 is using two vgas in the x16 slots (x8/x8 config). That means besides using two vgas for multimonitor/physx setups also SLI and Crossfire (each two-way) are possible.
Well I was using it for non-mining projects, running ocl-Hashcat. Not sure why everyone assumes its for mining coins.

Dual Radeon video card -- Second card Unknown/4th monitor

My initial plan was to use four monitors on my Radeon HD 6790 as follows:
1 Single-link DVI-D = monitor1 dvi
1 Dual-link DVI-I = monitor2 dvi
1 Display Port = monitor3 dvi with adapter
1 HDMI = new monitor
This did not work as I could not use the hdmi port with the second dvi plugged in so I decided to buy a second cheaper ati card (the 6450) to power the fourth monitor. Well of course that did not work as well since the 2nd video card was identified as UNKNOWN via the Ctalyst control Center(amdcccle).
This is how I currently have my monitors plugged in:
6790 (Main card):
1x dvi
1x dvi via DisplayPort
1x hdmi
6450 (Secondary card):
1x dvi
I tried for two days to get the second card identified by the Catalyst driver and I ended up borking my system in the process. So now I am on week two of getting this setup to work with no avail so I decided to post a new thread.
Here is some relevant information that may help:

Notice the fourth monitor is labeled as "1-Default monitor" instead of hdmi (or whatever) and the second card is not listed.
I am literally at my wit's end trying to figure this out. So basically I am wondering if anyone has a clue where to begin trying to get the 2nd video card identified or is it even possible with the current Catalyst driver? I know my hardware can power it fine as it works perfectly on my Windows gaming partition.
Thanks in advance

[Solved] Well-supported and powerful video card?

I'm sick of dealing with Catalyst updates breaking my system and crashing Starcraft 2, so I'm thinking I'll buy a new card for my rig. I want to get something that'll work better and make my life easier.
So I'm looking for a desktop (PCI-e) video card, probably nVidia, that can replace my current Radeon HD 5770. I'd like something relatively quiet and not too power-greedy (this PC is right next to my bed and on 24/7) but powerful enough to support my two monitors, play back 1080P h.264 easily, and do some occasional gaming, the most extreme of which would be SC2 in WINE (I don't need to max out the settings, but a good framerate with more-than-minimum settings would be nice.)
My price range is flexible. Maybe around $200, preferably less, but I'd spend a bit more if it's justified.
So: what are you guys using that's working well for you? Anyone have any recommendations on what card to buy?
EDIT: I ended up getting a GTX 460. It's everything I wanted - quiet, powerful, good driver support. Well, I haven't confirmed yet that Starcraft 2 runs without crashing (as it had a habit of doing under my 5770) but at least it runs unlike under the most recent ATI drivers.
Last edited by mDuo13 (2010-09-10 04:46:14)

My card (the aforementioned GTX 460) arrived. I installed it today with no hitches. Everything worked great except it took me a couple tries to get Starcraft 2 to run (it initially crashed because it couldn't resize my Twinview desktop). I fixed it by creating a Metamode in the nvidia-settings utility where I turned my secondary monitor to "Off". Just switch metamodes, open SC2, and switch metamodes again when done. I may come up with an even simpler solution eventually, but in general, I'm super-happy with how effortless it was getting everything installed, set up, and configured.
And as to the comments on the size of the card - this card is not small at 9.5" or something, but that's comparable to the 5770 I had before and like I said, my case is HUGE. I had like 6 inches to spare behind the card. XD That said, people with ordinary cases probably should measure.

Dual Monitor video cards for HP Pro 3400

I am looking to add a 2nd monitor to my HP Pro 3400 MT and want to make sure I get a video card that will not have any compatibility issues. I'm not doing any gaming so I don't think I need anything super fancy and I would prefer not to have to upgrade the power supply.
So my questions are:
Is the HP Pro 3400 MT compatible witha PCI Express 3.0 card? 2.1 ?
How much power draw from the video card would require me to upgrade the power supply (my PC is stock, no added peripherals). Is there a way for me to determine how much is being currently (no pun intended) drawn?
Are there any drawbacks to usnig the built-in video card for 1 monitor and a new, single-ouput card for the other (vs a dual-output card) ?
Anything else I need to consider when deciding on a new video card?
Thanks.

Best dual DVI video card for 2009 MP running Windows

Sorry if this question has been posted before, or if I'm in the wrong forum. I searched the Windows Compatibility forum and didn't find the answer.
I have a 2009 Mac Pro (8 core) running Windows Server 2008 64 bit. I would like to upgrade the stock GT120 video card. I don't play games on it, but I do need to drive a pair of 24" widescreen LCD monitors at 1920x1200 or higher and extend the desktop onto the second monitor.
I see that the 8800GT (Apple part MB137Z/A) is still available, although Apple is pushing the ATI 4870. Does anyone know which of these cards would work the best with Windows?
Thanks!

Thanks Hatter. I thought the video card had to have special EFI firmware in order for the Mac Pro to even recognize it as a video card (regardless of which OS's are installed).
Are you saying that if I'm only running Windows, I can use ANY PCI-Express video card? Sweeeeeet!
Now, for cards that ARE available in a specific Mac version (such as the GTX285 and ATI 4870), are they as well supported in Windows as they are in Mac OS (from a driver point of view)? I suppose other than the MAC-specific firmware, the graphics chipset for both versions of the card are the same, therefore the drivers should be the same.
Thanks for your help.

Does MSI P55-GD65 support eSata hot-plug?

I believe the title is self-explanatory, but I'll explain anyway..
I have a MSI P55-GD65 motherboard which has an onboard eSata port. I have a second eSata port in the front plate of my case.. The thing is, that the only way for it to recognize my eSata external hard drive, is if the drive is connected and powered BEFORE I boot my PC. Not very convenient when it comes to portable devices. Is there anything I have to change in the BIOS or any drivers I should install (for Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit) so that I can power on and off my drive while my PC is working?

Actually, I did some more digging after my post, I figured out how to do it (I tweaked the registry because I had installed Windows 7 with sata mode set to IDE), and now it works fine..
There's only one issue. My external drive does not appear in the devices I can "safely remove". So I don't know how risky it is to just turn of my HDD while the PC is powered on..

PowerMac G5 2.0 dual processor video Card installation

I installed a Radeon7000 64M DDR AGP VGA/TVO/DVI-I card in my powerMac G5 2.0 dual processor. I starts up with both screens fine, but freezes immediatley on startup. I started up in Safe Mode and it was fine. I repaired my permissions then Zapped the pram and it will start up fine and even got to adjust dual displays before it froze. It will not start up and operate correctly. I know Mac has the drive in its operating system. I am just frustrated because all I wanted to do was used an extra VGA screen that I have and the installed card only had one DVI and an Apple screen conector that I cannot get an adapter to VGA for.

Hello, are you sure that card can support 2 monitors your size?
I don't think that card suports core video or maybe even quartz, both essential for 10.5.x, but disabled in Safe Mode.
BTW, not sure what adapter is...

Dual DVI video card

Have a P7-1280t - i5-2320 QUAD 3.0GHZ 6GB
Would like to have a dual DVI setup since I have two monitors. I had a Nvidia Qaudro card laying around...tried it but it's looking for that additional power source for the card and the powersupply doesn't have it.
What card is compatible with my new Desktop
Thanks

You could just add an adapter, though not everyone is happy with that, for your 2nd port on the GT120.
Could wait for Nvidia eVGA GTX 285 Mac Edition next month.

There is/was and should be 8800GT with nice specs and dual monitor support.
Barefeats is a great resource of tests and benchmarks.
This gives a good idea of what cards and what to expect:

Supported Dual Band Wifi Card for s230u Twist?

I just bought the s230u Twist and realized that the Intel 2230 wifi card is *not* dual band (2.4 GHz only). I also realize that the BIOS has a whitelist for mini-pci cards and need to know if there are any dual band cards that are supported. Thanks.

Hey there guys,
Jccheng, the ThinkPad a/b/g/n Wireless & Bluetooth 4.0 (2x2 ABGN & BT 4.0) is a dual band adapter that is compatible and comes as upgrade with the ThinkPad Twist s230u. The 802.11a only runs on a 5Ghz Frequency, and the 802.11n can run on either. I have listed all the adapter options with part numbers below:
04W3763 Cybertan BCM43228+BCM20702 abgn WLAN & BT 4.0 Combo (ThinkPad a/b/g/n)
04W3764 Liteon BCM43228+BCM20702 abgn WLAN & BT 4.0 Combo (ThinkPad a/b/g/n)
04W3765 Intel 2x2 11bgn + BT4.0 Combo Jackson Peak1 (Centrino 2230)
As an option, you can call the Lenovo Contact Center, 1-800-426-7378, for a Parts Only order. Hope this helps!

Inexpensive Dual-DVI video card for Cubase 6.5 & Adobe Premiere CS6, on Win7x64

I need a card for both and I can't find one that is "approved" for both. Is anyone using these two programs together? I'm currently using a pair of ATI FireGL V3350 cards that, so far, play video fine in Premiere (haven't done any editing or AE yet) but not in Cubase 6. I'm not a pro so a high end card would be lost on me. An inexpensive card that can handle standard editing in Premiere with some AE, no advanced 3-D (titles only?), and will also play video in Cubase 6.5 is what I'm looking for.
Thanks in advance

hello, @ MD: this should be fun: i use Reason7
in the general forum there is a thread about mulitple monitors
some of the PPRO users here might get a kick out of this as well and/or have comments/advice
here is most of it:
CELTICDALE:
Hi! I`ve been using 3 screens for 7-8 years on 4 different systems.
This solution works on any system I can think of, laptop or desktop.
Matrox TripleHead2Go (Digital Edition) (TH2Go)
It works by splitting the signal from 1 DVI or VGA port to 3 screens.
I just bougt a GTX690 which have 3 DVI ports, but I only use 1 with
the TH2Go because it works perfect without any hassle. The beauty
of it, compared to what others are suggesting, is that you can use
this whith whatever system you have, and you don`t have to by a new
solution (graphics card) if you upgrade. It`s external, so you can
easily move it to another computer. There are no fans and it gets
power from a USB port and use almost no power compared to an extra
gfx card. I also still have to free ports from my GTX690, allowing
me to add 2 more screens if I want.
If you hook it up to a laptop, you can use the laptop screen + up to 3
extra screens. I can run this on an 8 year old laptop I have, with no problems..
People who are suggesting that DVI is getting phased out, are wrong.
The worlds newest and fastest single GPU highend card comes with
2 DVI ports (GTX780, and is released tomorrow)
When I travel, it fits easily inside my laptop bag. Only thing I need
extra is the cables and adapters to hook up to different types of ports.

http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/pr...connect_video/
The only way to go in my opinion...
Good luck!
PS. There are different models, with HDMI also, but I reccommend the
model I linked to, as you can just go with adapter if you want to
connect to HDMI and don`t need to send sound to the screen. In the
rare cases I connect sound to the screen, I just use a minijack cable.
But of cource, you know best what you need..
hope this helps in some way, cheers, j

X48 Platinum+ 2 dual slot VGA cards x16 + Pci card???

Is it possible to combine two (2) ATI 4870 cards in crossfire x16 mode, without loosing the PCI slot??(needed for an XFi sound card)
In other words, can a yellow Pci Xpress Slot x 4 , work in x16 mode, using two VGAs???

...or, sell your 4870 and buy a 4870 with 2 GPUs.

The yellow slots will only work at 4X.

P55 GD65 support dual slot video cards?
