Radeon 7500 Mac Edition Quicksilver 2001

I have installed a Radeon 7500 Mac Edition video card in my 2001 Quicksilver. This card was an option in the 2002 Quicksilver. I am having problems installing OSX software and notice that Mac warns that it may be necessary to install the original graphics card for installation. I no longer have my original card.
Is the 7500 compatible with my machine? In general the card works fine with my dual moniotrs but I do have problems running iChat with frequent freezes and dropped service.
If the 7500 is not a good choice for my machine what should I buy for dual monitor support and Mac compatibility?

Hi,
The 7500 Mac Edition is kind of an oddball. Good card, but ATI doesn't support it with Mac Drivers. You can download the latest Radeon Universal Driver ROM's from here;
https://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894&task=knowledge&folder ID=27
Run the program and see if it helps.
If not, depending on budget, I'd get an ATI 9800 Pro Mac Edition, either the 128MB or 256MB. You will then have the best video card available for a G4, the QS will handle it just fine. I just noticed that Newegg.com has the 256MB available for $199 after rebate, a deal -for the best.
Regards,
Dave

  • Radeon 7000 Mac Edition

    Just got my Radeon 700 64MB Mac Edition, and I am already frustrated of installing it in my B&W.
    Up to last week I could play DVD's without a flaw, that's with the old ATI Rage 128, without (first) and with (after) the DVD decoder card.
    I have followed the instructions for the installation to the slightest detail:
    - Downloaded latest drivers and ATI Displays from ATI, and installed them;
    - switched off my beloved B&W, and pulled the plug from the powerpoint;
    - installed the card (50 seconds, probably....);
    Machine did not startup properly, but eventually I managed to start.
    Now the card works, but with the following flaws:
    - DVD's are sluggish. I can manage to play them, but whenever the DVD
    player controls are on the screen, the playback gets choppy. This did
    not happen with the Rage 128, at all.
    - Startup: before the screen gets blue, the spinning cursor just under the
    grey Apple stops spinning, which is something that never happened with
    the old card.
    - Starting from the DW CD (Jaguar 10.2.3), only starts in black and white,
    meaning that hardly anything is visible on the screen.
    Am I doing anything wrong? I read and heard of other users (many) with the
    same type of card installed in Beige and B&W G3 machines, and working happily.
    Can anyone help?
    thanks guys

    When your Mac does not start up properly after pulling the plug, you should be suspicious of a bad PRAM backup battery.

  • Installed ATI Radeon 9800 Mac Edition and know QT Pro 7.1.1 has error's

    I have a G4/1.2ghz (OWC Mercury 1.2ghz Processor Card Upgrade)
    I added a ATI 9800 Mac Edition a couple of weeks ago so I could contiue using Apple's iLife and now when I try to open a QT movie it sends me to
    Apple's QT 3rd party updates and I don't have any idea of which or any plug in I need at this point I have updated my card with ATI's January 2005 update and
    all is well except for the QT movie I'm trying to play which is in .avi format and I do know that QT Pro doesn't play some .avi movies but this one played before the installation of the ATI Video Card ?

    I don't know how it is related, but I, too added a 9800 Mac Edition to a G4 Gigabit. Worked great for about 2 weeks, then it began freezing during 3D graphic games... StarWars Battlefront is way addictive.
    When I finally got around to testing, I found I could no longer convert .avi to dvd through Toast 7. I had also updated to Tiger with QT 7.1
    The freezing seems to be related to the power supply. While every indication was that my PSU was over 300watts. Apple now says that at that time they measured power in Amps, just because... hey why don't you buy a new mac....
    I am sourcing out a replacement supply and am temporarily back on my original rage 128 card.
    I wonder out loud, I have the guts of a few external hadr drive cases, that have a similar power connection. Can one of them be used to power the card.
    Does the video card absolutly have to be powered by the internal power supply...?

  • G4/QS  128 radeon 9200 mac edition & 24" monitor

    Hello everyone!I just bough a 24" samsung lcd/tft display.I have the radeon 9200/128 agp card.This card is the PC version,flashed to work in the G4.When I 'm playing a tv show i downloaded and when i choose full screen the black seems to have bloches of purple and small amounts of green.But when i stand back a little it looks more black.When i play it at normal size it looks great.Do i need a bigger and better card to play it on full screen mode? Thanks,John

    I think you may have been a little confused by my suggestion...I was not suggesting that you change your monitor setting to 640 x 480 +and leave it+. For example, my monitor is at 1680 x 1050 when I run all my apps and whatnot. When I watch movies, I simply open the movie I want to watch, then change the resolution of my display to the appropriate size and then enter full screen mode in the player. Trust me, the movie will look much much better. Then after I'm done, I switch back to the normal resolution.
    This is why the movie looks so good at normal size-it is running at it's native resolution. You need to change your monitor's resolution to that which is the resolution of whatever video it is that you are watching if you want full quality. Yes, this means that there is an unwanted step of changing resolutions back and forth whenever you want to watch videos. But it is worth it if you want to get full quality.
    One suggestion if you decided to use this method-if you go to the displays pane in system prefs, there is an option to "show displays in menu bar". If this box is checked, a little monitor icon will be placed in the menu bar to the left of the time. This menu will make it much easier to switch between resolutions you often flip between, so you don't have to constantly open the system prefs window. In the bottom of the menu, there is an option to change the number of recent items so you can have even more resolutions that you use often stored there. It makes changing resolutions much quicker. =)
    Trust me this will work - I do it whenever I am watching movies.

  • ? to buy - ATI RADEON X800 Mac Edition

    Hello,
    I'd like to buy one of these to power a 30" display on a dual G5.
    Anyone heard of where they are available?
    thanks,

    Steve
    I had purchased the X800 XT MAC and unfortunately recieved a defective unit (it happens) anyway got the rma and returned it to ATI/AMD they provided me with another card (1 week turnaround) it too was defective and wouldnt allow my G5 to boot even!! Yikes!! So I returned the unit to Microcenter (where I purchased the unit) and I am in the process of getting my money back (home office is issuing a check so I must wait 10 business days to get the check). So I like you must now wait to get my 30 inch to where it is really useable.
    Unfortunately there are no other options really as the X800 XT MAC is available for AGP and supports the 30 inch (dual link DVI) and has a max resolution of 2048 x 1536 verses the 30 inch at 2560 x 1600 resolution as I have researched this quite exhaustively. Its apparent AGP isnt the future (obviously) and Nvidia Quadro FX at 1600 bucks is clearly outside my budget.
    Perhaps someone else knows something different. Do shop around as I paid around 300 bucks for mine, however understand the wait limitations you face once you get that price and note some retailers are discontinuing availability of the unit itself for whatever reason (support may be an issue). Some places are even asking 389 bucks!!
    Thanks for letting me know about the 9800 as well. Kinda regretting getting the 30 incher now!!!!

  • Ati radeon 9200 mac edition pci on my powermac g5

    hi rencently bought this card and was wondering if anyone has any experience on this card. is it faster then the stock agp card in the g5? i have tried this on my g4 qs and it actually made everything slower as it was pci. would pci-x be better? thanx all!

    Hi, You had me going there for a minute.
    I then looked into the specs on this card at NewEgg.
    Dude, it's a 39 dollar card, vs a 5-6 hundred card.
    Seems very odd you would down grade a fine high end machine.
    I just spent all night researching cards, till I finally found it.
    The one I plan on is water cooled, and $800.
    If it fits. I haven't verified if it's Mac attack grade.

  • PM 7500 with ATI radeon 7000 PCI mac edition - slow running OS 9.1

    Hello to all,
    Well now have a PM 7500 with a G3 500 MHz, USB 1.1 and just installed a PCI ATI radeon 7000 mac edition video card from OWC.com. Installed the card, put in the ATI drivers that owc.com says I need and bummer, the card (32 meg of VRAM) is actually slower than my system video (doing tests with norton system info).
    With this system, cannot upgrade to 9.2.1, most managed to go the "legit" way is 9.1. Any help again on this one would be appreciated.
    Thanks

  • ATI Radeon 9600 Mac & PC Edition will not work with leopard

    When I installed a new ATI Radeon 9600 Mac & PC Edition, 256MB; my Dual 2 GHz G5 (June 2004) will not allow me to drive my Apple Cinema Display while running under leopard, (neither 10.5.1 or 10.5.2 with Leopard Graphics Update).
    The mac starts up as usual and gets to the white screen with Apple logo -then the progress ring eventually stalls. The mouse pointer becomes visible and can be moved freely around this screen.
    I can connect from other macs on the network and navigate files, but screen sharing results in an all black window.
    The Radeon 9600 works fine if I start up the mac with the Tiger installation disk.
    I have tried every suggestion that I could find on these boards and elsewhere: zapped the pram, reset the SMU, installed older ATI Drivers, etc...
    Of course the G5 is far out of warranty. I've been running Leopard since the day it shipped - so that's out of warranty now, and there is little help to be found on the ATI/AMD website. I'm afraid I'll have to return the card before Apple releases another graphics update.
    The stock graphics card that came with this mac is the nVIDIA 64MB GeForce FX 5200 - but it's having trouble keeping up with Leopard's demands - my isight barely works, most special effects in iChat and PhotoBooth are unusable, and of course I'm not given the option to use a transparent menu bar,
    I am really good at swapping video cards in the G5 now - but I'm so frustrated.
    Does anyone else have any suggestions?
    thanks

  • Does 10.5.6 Support Dual displays for Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Edition cards?

    Does 10.5.6 Support Dual displays for Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Edition cards?
    And is there driver updates for anyone using the all-in-ones HP printers...has anyone been able to use their scanners since the update? and has the dual screen support been added to avoid the blue screen on startup?

    The ATI Radeon 9600 PC/Mac edition 256 MB should work in the MDD G4. It has two DVI ports (one is dual-link and can support a 30" display). You will need adapters for ADC displays.

  • Can I replace an ATI RADEON 9800 PRO-(256MB)-MAC EDITION with Mac ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb Video Card For G4/G5

    Hi,
    I am trying to help a friend whose graphics card has bust.
    The old one was an ATI RADEON 9800 PRO-(256MB)-MAC EDITION.
    I've been looking on ebay and it seems a lot cheaper to get a Mac ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb Video Card For G4/G5.
    Can I just swap them over?  The connectors are not identical according to the photographs.
    Thanks.

    I'd like to thank everyone for all the really useful information in this thread. It helped me solve a similar problem, which I'll describe here briefly in case it helps someone else.
    I have a 2004/5 dual 2 Ghz PowerPC G5 and an Apple Cinema HD display linked, as I later found out, with the now defunct ADC connector. The display suddenly started to look like that scene in The Matrix, when code falls like rain down the screen, and I worked out I needed to replace my Radeon 9800 pro video card (I discovered the board was blue when I removed a thick layer of dust).
    I took japamac's excellent advice and bought a Geforce 6800 Ultra from the linked eBay seller in Hong Kong, who delivered it extremely quickly, along with the cables to plug it into the DVD drive power source and a CD with installation instructions. It was only then that I realised the card had two DVI connectors and my display needed ADC (I hadn't understood the difference).
    eBay came to the rescue again with a seller who had a secondhand DVI to ADC adapter, which Apple produced  when it phased out ADC about six years ago but no longer sells. It has its own power supply and looks like a large version of the Mac laptop power cables - and has added signifcantly to the pile of spaghetti under my desk.
    Installing the Geforce 6800 Ultra is fiddly, and a bit scary if you're not used to delving into the insides of a Mac, but the instructions were clear and illustrated with useful photos. The video cable has four connectors. Two fit into the end of the card, the other two (linked in a Y shape) form a bridge between the DVD/superdrive and its power cable. You have to remove the DVD drive, unplug it, and then plug one of the two Y video card connectors into the DVD power cable and the other into the DVD drive itself. Then you replace the DVD drive, plug the two remaining cable connectors to the video card and ease it into the old card's AGP slot.
    Finally, with the G5 reassembled, plug the adapter's DVI connection into the back of the card, plug the Cinema Display ADC cable into the adapter block, plug the adapter's USB cable into the G5 (this enables the the USB ports on the back of the display to work), and power up.
    At the time of writing, the display has been up and running for a couple of hours and all seems fine.
    Thanks again everyone for all your help and advice. If it wasn't for communities like this, it would be virtually impossible to solve problems with old but still serviceable Macs.

  • Radeon 9200 PCI Mac Edition not working properly

    I recently purchased a Radeon 9200 PCI mac edition for my G3 B&W on ebay but it doesn't seem to like my B&W. It displays fine but refuses to load the driver and makes OS 9.2.2 freeze upon booting. I already have the latest drivers for it (january 2005 update). I haven't seen any similar issue around the net. Here is my B&W specs:
    It has a G4 400mhz from the Yikes! running at 450MHz with voltage tweak help and 3 additinal fans attached to the heatsink (which is also original from the Yikes!).
    1GB RAM
    80GB + 40GB HDs
    2x Voodoo2 8mb cards running in SLI.
    ADB Keyboard + Mouse
    removing the Voodoo2 did not fix this. I currently use a Radeon 7000 64MB PC flashed to Mac which works out of the box and share the same drivers. I don't have OS X installed. Please help, I don't know what to do anymore.
    LFTHFY,
    Filipe

    Try this driver update (again):
    ATI OS9 RADEON Update.zip
    If you have an older mac w/G4 CPU upgrade (beige G3 or older for instance), for years there's been reports of conflicts (boot hangs, etc.) with ATI OS 9.x extensions (graphics accelerator extension IIRC) and cache enablers. Renaming extensions (space or tilde first letter) to change load order may help. For OS 9.x users, install the 9200 OS 9 drivers before installing the card. Also there's been several problem reports from older macs w/PCI IDE cards or SCSI PCI cards and the 9200 PCI card,

  • ATI Radeon 9000 PRO Mac Edition supported under Tiger ?

    Hi all,
    we are still using OS X 10.3.x for our venerable G4 AGP mac. Back in 2005 when Tiger was the new OS, we were told that our ATI Radeon™ 9000 PRO Mac Edition graphics would not be supported under 10.4.x. Has this changed? I don't want to upgrade to Leopard yet, but would like to use some Tiger features as Mail 2.0 or improved iSync.
    Thanks for any input ...
    Asbjoern

    So is this why all my fonts are screwed on my G4 MDD dual 1.25 using a ATI 9000 Pro?
    Seems as tho it works perfectly fine when i had 10.4.10 but when 10.4.11 was released all my fonts are screwed. Even when booting from a OSX CD. I installed 10.5 and still doesnt work.
    looks like i need a 9600.

  • Original Radeon Mac Edition card and G5

    Can someone tell me if I can use my original Radeon Mac Edition PCI video card with my G5? I'm concerned about the voltage and which slot to use, not to mention the ROM version of the card.
    My goal is to hook up a third monitor to my computer and I'm hoping I can use this card that has been sitting on my shelf for the last couple of years. I'm not gamer or anything, so the additional card doesn't have to be powerful, just compatible.

    I have one working as a 3rd display in my Rev A Dual 2.0 Ghz with PCI-X. It is not a pretty sight though, and has caused problems waking from sleep, with audio cutting out, and other minor annoyances. That is not to say I'm not still using it, it supports a host of display resolutions and refresh rates that my 9600 AGP can't touch, not to mention Composite out.

  • Mac Edition G5 PCIe ATI Radeon X1900GT 256MB Video Card power cord

    I have a G5 2.5 quad, serial number YM5*2EQPS. It has a ATI Radeon 9800 XT on board now. I have two monitors connected.
    I want to add a Cintiq graphics tablet, so I need additional video (it is also a monitor). I purchased the Mac Edition G5 PCIe ATI Radeon X1900GT for this purpose.
    I can't find a place to plug in the auxiliary power supply. I see several plugs (including a couple centered over the memory slots), but all are filled and none appear to be the six-pin type.
    Perhaps I purchased the wrong card for this machine? Or maybe I'm just too stupid to open the back of my computer? Help!
    <Edited by Host>

    HI-
    I am confused by your statements saying that you have a G5 Quad (Late 2005, right?) and that you have a Radeon9800 XT installed.
    The 9800 XT is an AGP card and won't work in a Quad...
    Putting that aside, the Radeon X1900 G5 Edition connects to the G5 logic board at a connector that is centered on the upper edge of the logic board over the memory slots.

Maybe you are looking for
