Quadro or ati?

I'm planning on buying a mac pro and i can't decide wether i should get a quadro or ati graphics card. I will mainly be using this to do work in maya, photoshop, etc. but i would like to know if the quadro would deliver the same gaming performance as the ati cards or 4x 7300 cards?
also, would i be able to say... replace the cards with 4 comercial 7950 cards?
Thanks

If you are after the absolute best performance you will need to go with the Nvidia Quadro 4500FX. Otherwise, I think for most who want the best performance for the best value for money you can't go past the ATI X1900XT. The X1900XT is near in performance to the Quadro and no where near the price.
Having more graphics cards will in no way add performance to each other so there is no benefit to having four Nvidia 7300GTs… or any other card for that matter.

  • How can I upgrade my Mac Pro

    Hello,
    I have a Mac Pro. Here are the specs :
    Mac OS X 10.5.8
    MacPro1,1
    NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT
    When OS 10.6 came out, I found out that I couldn't upgrade to it because of my graphic card. In the technical specifications it is mentioned that :
    OpenCL
    requires one of the following graphics cards or graphics processors:
    NVIDIA GeForce 9400M, GeForce 9600M GT, GeForce 8600M GT, GeForce GT 120, GeForce GT 130, GeForce GTX 285, GeForce 8800 GT, GeForce 8800 GS, Quadro FX 4800, Quadro FX5600
    ATI Radeon 4850, Radeon 4870
    Now, OS 10.5.8 is becoming more and more outdated. I would like to know how can I upgrade my Mac Pro ? What kind of graphic card can I put in ?
    Thank you for any help and/or information !

    It's been a while since I've used it but I installed Snow Leopard on my old Mac Pro 1,1 with the 7300GT and it worked. OpenCL may not have but the rest of it did. I don't think what you've quoted says you can't upgrade but only that an upgrade won't deliver all of the features in Snow Leopard. Indeed, I was able to move the HD in the 1,1 Mac Pro into the 5,1 Mac Pro, boot from it (10.6.4 is the minimum the 2010 Mac Pro will boot with), clone it and then updated it.

  • Photoshop CS lighting effects rendering malfunction

    You know I am really angry with Adobe regarding this issue. I have spent hours on the phone with them and they have no clue what they are doing it would seem. I have lost a client job because of this.
    If you have this issue please let me know:
    Try to render lighting effects in your image and you cannot manipulate your lights as in scaling and moving them. You will see the light but cannot do a damn thing with it.
    I spent 2 hours online with Adobe tech support which involved them taking remote control of my machine. New account was made in Windows and Photoshop launched under that account which solved it temporarily. Then it was decided to throw out all my ADOBE preferences under may account which worked until today when I started working again only to find out the problem is back.
    I am just completely dissapointed now with Adobe in general. If they cant fix their own software what is a user to do.
    Can anyone help with this issue from experience? Please do not guess - I am need an actual permanent solution.

  • New Mac Pro + Graphics Cards

    I recently placed an order for the new 12 Core system. I presently have a 2009 Mac Pro which has 2 x Quadro FX4800 graphic cards.
    My new system i specked the ATI 5870 HD card. My question is this, most probably a silly question but need to ask.
    Can I install the two Quadro Cards along with the ATI card at the same time. Or must I only install either the Quadro or ATI card.
    Any performance gain from having all 3 cards installed at the same time?
    My apologies if the question is silly!
    Regards,
    Allan

    Can I install the two Quadro Cards along with the ATI card at the same time. Or must I only install either the Quadro or ATI card.
    No. The Mac Pro has only two auxiliary power connectors for PCIe cards. Each Quadro FX4800 graphic card uses one auxiliary power connector. The ATI 5870 HD card uses two.
    Any performance gain from having all 3 cards installed at the same time?
    No, even if there was enough power.

  • I'm Confused about OpenCL

    hi everyone!
    i was looking at the tech specs and system requirements of SL and came to OpenCL requirements. I saw that NVIDIA graphics and AMD are listed, but not Intel. On the OpenCL part of the SL Technology page, it mentioned Intel, NVIDIA and AMD, indicating that OpenCL should be able to work with an Intel GPU.
    Does anyone have an Intel GPU and is everything working OK, and is that a mistake by Apple to not include Intel chips in the requirements?

  • Which New Graphic Card For 2008 Mac Pro?

    I'm going to buy Final Cut X, so I'll need a new graphic card for my 2008 MacPro. My current card is an ATI Radeon HD 2600.
    I asked AppleCare and they sent me a link to a lot of compatible cards (copied below).
    But it turns out that most of these cards need Windows - at least according to specs - and the rest don't have the (2) DVI-D connections I need - so which card should I buy?
    The card has to work with my 2 Acer P243W 24" screens at 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz.

    Once you look at what is sold, limits the list. None of those listed require Windows though. What specs? I don't see any specs. And of course nothing listed are Windows, that would be strange. Why you pasted notebook and iMac graphic adapters... unless Apple is selling FCPX for Windows.
    Forget the GT120 though some use it with FCPX and are okay with it, save a little though I think 5770 has more processing, bandwidth and of course 1GB DDR5.
    support for 6870 PC card is looking like a possible option now, too.
    It is more mainly just 5770 vs 5870. Or Quadro 4000.
    Amazon has PNY Mac Pro edition $790 vs Apple's $1195 for same card

  • Should I get the 17 inch MacBook Pro, Dell Precision M6600, Lenovo Thinkpad W520, or the HP EliteBook 8760 W

    I already own an old MacBook Pro running Core 2 Duo processor and have no problems with it. I was told by my friends not to go with the new Snow Leopard Operating system as they crash often and produce very slow performance. I am not sure if they will resolve all these issues in Lion. I do intensive work on Adobe and Autodesk products and I require an extremely fast processor, best display, and graphics card. If I choose MBP, I will take the anti-glare screen as I also do desktop publishing. I also don't understand why Apple doesn't ship their MacBook Pro's with Nvidia Quadro or ATI FireGL pro graphics cards. I was told that they are better cards for working with Pro apps. Are there any benefits of choosing Quadro or FireGL instead of GeForce or Radeon. I also saw the comments at Apple store and almost all have given the least possible rating to Quadro cards for Mac Pro. I don't wanna spend money unnecessarily if there will be problems with compatibility and I am also considering if I should switch to a PC as Snow Leopard is very slow. I also wonder how the gaming performance is in the Pro GPU's.

    Your friends don't know what they're talking about.  SL is quite good...  far better than Leopard in my experience.  The issue is that many people have systems that get screwed up a little bit, and then they install some major update, and suddenly a slightly screwed up system becomes badly screwed up.  (Imagine building a second floor on a house with undiscovered structural defects.)  This is often unfairly blamed on system updates...  if you rely on word of mouth, every version of the Mac OS ever has been the worst ever. 
    Of course, I've got no experience with Autodesk.  Perhaps Autodesk has issues with SL, if your friends are all using it and having problems.  SL did change a lot under the hood, so older software may be incompatible with it.

  • Model S10 looses video on Hibernation

    Many times now when restarting from hibernation I hear the drives but no video. When mometerialy hitting the power button the computer will shut down, do not have to hold it in. Cold reboot and all is well.using XP enterprise with all the latest updates.

    I have an S10 that has weird video issues coming out of hibernation and sleep. I have a couple of different machines running Windows 7 64 bit that do odd things. They are all S10's with identical builds. At the moment I have a GTX 260 in a machine and it will come out of sleep fine 90% of the time except I will have to wake up the computer and then hit the keyboard a second time to wake up the monitors.
    Latest Bios
    Latest Drivers.
    The other issue I have is when my other s10 goes to sleep, it will not wake up from sleep but instead go through a whole hibernation wake up sequence (which is much longer, etc).
    These systems most definitely have issues with Windows 7, I'm unsure about XP since I have not used that in quite some time on these machines. I have a feeling it might also be the fact that I'm not using the original video cards that the machines shipped with, although I've tried a few different cards from Quadros to ATI's and get different weirdness with each.

  • UPGRADING?? What 45nm board/processor/ram/PSU/VC combo for stability and speed?

    Greetings all.
    See from Aaron Yuri's list of compatible MBs my wife now gets my Nov'06 [a fast end of line] P975X PUE.
    Not sure why MSI designed it without 45nm support - but that's a cat I cannot skin - so never mind!
    Want 'stable' and fast - no overclocking needed - just brute force speed and graphics representation of time-series on-line financial data.
    Use is primarily as a 24/7 equities data - calculations and graphs of 2D value [Y] vs time[X] data.
    Continue WINXP SP3 for stability and compatibility with many Video cards and programs.
    HDs: RAID 0 on two WD RE Caviars 320 gb drives for excellent R/W speed [Backup nightly w 1TB NAS].
    Graphical display will be a quad-DVI linked to 4x24" flat panel screens.
    Would appreciate Reccys as to:
    1) MSI board - proven stable for the new 45 nm chips, with great PCI-E or PCI EXp2 VideoCard support.
    2) PSU - more than adequate  but also very 'quiet'?
    3) CPU [looking at the E8200 - as quad CPUs just not yet ready for most Softs to justify price premium]
    4) v. stable RAM [DDR 2 or 3?] - Here I need big time help as I want forward looking but need no hassles with new issues that are not yet stable.  [Nov06 -my 975X had many hassles with 800 RAM]   No sense going to DDR3 yet I think.
    finally - if anyone out there has experience with:
    5) quad-dvi Video card?  Looking at the NVidia Quadros and ATIs
    - workstation or high end multi-monitor graphics.
    I see Asus has the new quad-Ati base EAAH3870X2 but many 2D packages do not use this - so may stick to workstation cards.
    [I have tried doubling up on 2x-DVI cards -seems they need to be absolutely identical or all kinds of hassles installing them] - so we will stick to a good 2D card - like the PNY NVS 440 or the ATI Radeon
    Thanks folks for the feedback and reccys for Stable and very fast.

    Quote from: NovJoe on 21-May-08, 21:37:46
    Sure, if you can wait further, the P45 series seems to be a good grab as well. I'm anticipating for it.
    NOVO JOE - yes - but here is my concern and I was just wondering also about the P45.
    BUT - I jumped in Nov06 - for the P975X PUE - after some great Reccys all around - and I ended up fighting the darn thing for a couple of months with memory issues...Took me about 3 months to get it frigging stable- and with RAID ...   So I was concerned that the P45 also was early - and also at a premium price.  I want something for 2 to 3 years - til the next IMPT generation comes along.  SO was going to get a sterling performer with stability - and not spend a lot of time building it to work....
    If you all have any insight into the upcoming P45 that looks like we might not have this sort of start up issues - I'm happy to listen.  Have seen some reviews so far - all pretty good - just don't have days and weeks to fritter with it....

  • Detected Graphics Processor Quadro 4000 vs ATI 5770

    Hey there,
    I'm in Photoshop CC on a mac tower.  I've got a quadro 4000 installed as well as a Radeon 5770.  Just updated the latest NVIDIA drivers.  In Photoshop under detected graphics processor it's saying it sees the Radion HD 5770 OpenGL Engine.  Is there a way to see both cards? Will it make a difference?
    I only noticed because my graphics processor wasn't working and I had to reinstall drivers. 
    Thanks

    I don't have this setup anymore as I'm using a modified GTX570 in my Mac Pro now.  It's far faster than either of the aforementioned.  But, when I had both in, I was only using the nVidia for card-specific work.  In other words: just Premiere Pro.  I had an LCD panel connected to each of the cards, and the nVidia was the primary display.  At no point did I ever stress the ATI.

  • ATI 8800 vs. Quadro 4000 / 5000 Rendering Speed

    Fellow Forum Members,
    I'm building a system to run Premiere Pro at an optimum level.  However, the conflict I'm encountering relates to Quad Monitor Support.  Every single CUDA card offered by Nvidia (i.e., GTX 580, Quadro 4000, 5000, 6000) seem to only offer Dual monitor support.  The third mini HDMI port is worthless since it doesn't run together with the two DVI ports.  Not happy with Nvidia about this decision.
    I'm building a Windows 7 64 bit system and It's my understanding that if I want to run Premiere Pro CS5 using the Mercury engine to speed  up rendering, then the only game in town is an Nvidia Quadro graphics card.  I wouldn't have a problem with this only if Nvidia would offer a video card with Quad Monitor support like ATI does with the 8800 card they sell.
    So my question is, "Does Premiere Pro render at the same speed on an ATI 8800 card vs. a Quadro 4000/5000?"  If the answer is yes, then I'm buying the ATI 8800 since this card supports  4 monitors.  If the answer is that the ATI 8800 is slightly slower with rendering, then I'm still buying an ATI 8800 since a slight difference in rendering doesn't matter that much to me.   However, if the answer is that Premiere Pro rendering on an ATI 8800 is serioiusly handicapped.  Then I have a problem, since I really want Quad monitor support and Premiere Pro to render fast.
    I hope to hear back from Premiere Pro users that have used Premiere Pro on platforms equipped with ATI 8800 and / or Nvidia 4000, or 5000.  Did you notice any performance change between ATI 8800 and Quadros? Thanks in advance.

    Hi there,
    I was wondering if you have found an alternative solution to buying two quadros. I once came across a post in the nvidia forums about putting a Geforce Card and a Quadro in the same machine...
    Also, I've seen that GeForces don't need to be in SLI to give you more than 2 monitors but you will need more than one card. Two cards in SLI will only support 2 monitors while a third card can support another 2. giving you 4 ports. As seen on the link, you might be able to pull of up to 6.
    Alternatively, there is the Quadro NVS cards that have up to 4 display ports.
    Hope this helps!
    Heaven forbid SLI and Premiere together, do not even think about it.
    Here is my suggestion.
    Just for you I tried adding a GTX 550 Ti to my system which has a GTX 580.  I had two monitors on my GTX 580 and while I did not have two more spare monitor I did have of additional 1920 x 1200 monitor.  I powered up and it found and installed another driver for the GTX 550 Ti, I do not know why it did not install a second copy of the 267.59 driver but installed 266.58.  It all worked I then had three surfaces all connected and then I ran our PPBM5 benchmark and it was not affected by the the addition of the second board.  By default it used the CUDA of the first board.  Of course I cannot guarantee other drivers or other GPU's or for that matter other motherboards. Make sure you have lots of power available I would not mix Quadros and GeForce boards and why would you want to anyway.  After all that I suspect that when you add the other realtime software you probably will ruin any editing capability you might of had.
    I just took a look at the prices, the two board nVidia solution is about half the cost of your ATI V8800 solution!

  • Okay to run Quadro 4000 and ATI 5770 in MacPro?

    I have switched from FCP to Premiere CS6 but still use Apple motion for graphics and titles. Unfortunately the Nvidia Quadro 4000 performs pitifully in Motion so I was hoping to run both cards at the same time and get the best of both worlds if possible.
    Anyone else try this mad experiment?
    I have both cards but wanted to ask first before I embark on this journey...

    I contacted both HP and PNY customer support. They've not found any solution yet.
    Only the suggestion I heard from HP customer support is change the graphic card w/ PCIe 3.0 support.
    I believe PCI slot should be backward compatible w/ 2.0 version. 
    Does it really matter install PCIe2.0 graphic board on 3.0 slot?
    My ohter option is AMD FirePRo V4900, which is one of the certified graphic card for the Autodesk.
    However, I'm not sure wether it works with this machine.
    Please give me an answer.

    Only the suggestion I heard from HP customer support is change the graphic card w/ PCIe 3.0 support.
    I believe PCI slot should be backward compatible w/ 2.0 version. 
    Does it really matter install PCIe2.0 graphic board on 3.0 slot?
    My ohter option is AMD FirePRo V4900, which is one of the certified graphic card for the Autodesk.
    However, I'm not sure wether it works with this machine.
    Please give me an answer.

    Hello masterqueue.
    This desktop was a CTO (Configured-to-Order) model.  As such, there is a lot of information I do not know about the machine.  Most importantly, how large is the power supply?  According to the computer's specification page it could have anywhere from a 300 watt to a 600 watt power supply.  That is a very big difference.
    I'll keep an eye out for your response.  Have a great day.
