Radeon 9000 from MDD - compatible with Sawtooth?

Hello!
I just found a MDD (Firewire 800 model) for a great price, and will be upgrading from a Quicksilver in a day or two when it gets here. I plan on using an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro in the MDD - meaning I won't have a use for the Radeon 9000 that comes in it, as I'm selling the QS to pay for the MDD. My parent's old Sawtooth, however, is still using the Rage 128 that shipped with it in 1999. Can I use the Radeon 9000 in the AGP, or with the ADC port cause issues?
Since the Radeon 9800 functions in the Sawtooth, I"m assuming any compatibility issue would be due to the ADC port rather than 2x AGP in the Sawtooth - correct?

Hi-
The card will work just fine through the DVI port.
The ADC port won't work due to lack of ADC support in the Sawtooth.
Other than that, no problems.

  • MacPro3,1 w/ Radeon 2600, or 5770 compatible with 10.9?

    Hi, I'm currently on MacPro 3,1 w/ 10.6.8 and I am using a Radeon 2600 HD, which works fine -- but I'm wondering if either the Radeon 2600 XT or Radeon 5770 HD will work fine on 10.9 Mavericks? I am only upgrading because Nexus2 by ReFX won't work on SL. It will be a disaster if I upgrade and neither video card is incompatible. Couldn't find a straight answer on the net. Any help would be great!

    If you can afford to and find a card I would ditch the OEM 2600XT in a heartbeat, it is not well suited, lacks features now req'd, has a paltry 256MB.
    Barefeats tests the big ones, AMD Mac 7950 is one choice, GTX 680 and 770. Keep the 2600 around for troubleshooting if needed and use a PC card, better price and has the performance, just lacks early boot video out.

  • Radeon 5450 compatible with IdeaCentre?

    Hello, I'm looking to purchase the Lenovo IdeaCentre 1169XF1 (Is this the k330?) from Newegg: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883108695 and I'd like to buy a dedicated video card as well. However, the 280 watt power supply somewhat limits my options. After doing some research, I found that the Radeon 5450 consumes very little power. Unfortunately, I'm seeing a lot of people saying that the 5450 is not compatible with the Lenovo ThinkCentre line. Would this also be the case for IdeaCentre systems? Thanks.

    I understand that it has a free PCI-e slot and that in theory, any card that fits should work, but like I said earlier, it's been reported by multiple sources that the 5xxxx series of Radeon cards aren't compatible with the ThinkCentre series motherboards. They fit, but the machines won't boot.
    Here's an example from these forums:
    http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/A-and-M-Series-ThinkCentre/ati-5450-not-compatible-with-ThinkCentre-M57p...
    Unless you're saying that you know that the IdeaCentre motherboards don't have the same restrictions?
    A 6450 is an option, but it's slightly more expensive than the 5450 where I am, it's reported to have overheating issues and it's only negligibly more powerful than the 5450 for what I need it to do.

  • ACD 23 and Radeon 9800 Pro - strange behaviour with color profiles

    Hello,
    I have just purchased a 23" Cinema Display. The first one I got in the store exhibited ghosting effects that ceased to exist after a few hours (self healing effect?) and I also noticed after a while using it, that the left side and especially the lower corner were darker than the rest.
    So I took it back yesterday and got a new one which is close to perfect. Neither of them had any dead pixels! I am very pleased with it and knocking on wood, hope that it stays that way;-)
    My hardware: The display is hooked up to a G4 MDD dual 1,25 with a Radeon 7000 pci card and a Radeon 9800 Pro AGP card. The latter card was put in for the Radeon 9000 pro that came with the computer. So far I have been running a dual display setup with a 21 and a 17 inch CRT.
    Now comes my problem:
    I calibrated the cinema display hooked up to the 9800 Pro with the eye-one and the eye-one match software. The profile I got was not a smooth curve, but a zigzag curve. Of course that is by no means usable for anything.
    By numerous trial and error attempts, I did find out the following:
    - If I calibrate with the eye-one, I can have only one monitor hooked up to the computer, otherwise I will always get zigzag curves in the profile.
    - If I look at numerous testcharts(greyscale, etc.) with the newly created profile, all looks very good and in specs. As soon as I hook up the second monitor again, something changes on the cinema display, even though the profile has not changed. My testcharts look a bit contrastier and on the greyscale the two darkest and lightest fields do not seperate anymore.
    Rebooting does not help either. As soon as I unplug the second monitor, everything looks perfect again.
    I know that this is an unusual issue but I hope that someone here has a clue to where the problem could be. I have tested so much and do not find a solution.
    I will call the apple hepldesk, but I already know what they will say:"The display is working as designed. Your issue has to do with the graphics card and that is a third party product. You have to call ATI for support".
    So, maybe I can get some help here.
    Cheers
    Peter

    Hi Bryanus,
    Did you have an ADC port on your old card? Do you still have your old card? If this is the case, you can verify that the new card is implicated by re-installing your old card and seeing whether the problem repeats itself.
    If you only have DVI on your old card, you would have to borrow an adaptor, but then you are relying on the adaptor to function properly.
    If the problem doesn't repeat itself with your old card being used, then the new card is the culprit, in which case I'd ask to have it replaced, or get a refund.
    If the problem does repeat itself with the old card, then you might want to consider other possible contributing factors such as the physical state of the monitor connection (dirty or tarnished contacts, bent pins etc.).
    If the problem repeats itself with a new (replacement) card, you could add AGP slot issues to the above paragraph.
    "Sleep" in an Apple Mac often generates issues with third party hardware, so your primary consideration that it is probably the card is (to me anyway) still the most likely.
    All the best with the diagnosis!
    Cheers!

  • Is the apple watch compatible with iPod touch

    I Know the apple watch is compatible with iPhone but what about iPod touch? Would it work with Bluetooth?

    I do know that it will work with the iPhone 5 and later, and I doubt that Apple wouldn't make the Apple Watch compatible with the iPod Touch. The fact that the Apple Watch will be able to make calls concerns me. You can not make calls on the iPod Touch with any built-in app, so that might make the iPod Touch excluded from being compatible with the Apple Watch. I am almost one hundred percent sure that IF the Apple Watch is compatible with the iPod Touch it will only be compatible with the 5th generation.

  • Is Sony DCR HC 96 MiniDV compatible with MAC

    I have read mixed reviews on this - some folks say they have been able to use it with iMovies (through firewire) while others have not.
    Is this model from Sony compatible with imovie HD? Any feedback on usage or experience ? Thanks very much

    Hi Vikmac:
    Welcome to discussions!
    While I own several Sonys that work very well with the Mac, I do not own the Sony DCR HC 96.
    But, as long as you have the proper 4-pin to 6-pin firewire cable, I see no reason at all that it wouldn't work!

  • Is Mac Pro 2007 compatible with new 6Gb/s SSD harddrive?

    Hi,
    I'm using my old Mac Pro from 2007 for music production. It works very well, but I want to upgrade it with a new SSD harddrive.
    Is the Mac Pro from 2007 compatible with a new SSD SATA 6GB/s harddrive, like a Crucial MX100?
    As I see it, there are three possibilities:
    1) It will run fine.
    2) It will run, but only on half the speed (3GB/s).
    3) It will not run.
    What will happen?
    Thanks for helping me out.
    All the best,
    Anders from Denmark

    RE: SATA Bus speed:
    Most Rotating drives available today, whatever their SATA spec, can source data off the spinning platters no faster than about 125MBytes/sec.
    SATA 3 is rated at 6G bits/sec, which theoretically is about 750 Mega Bytes/sec
    SATA 2 is rated at 3G bits/sec, which is theoretically about 375 Mega Bytes/sec
    SATA 1 is rated at 1.5G bits/sec, which is theoretically about 187.5 Meg Bytes/sec
    None of the SATA Busses is a bottleneck for consumer Rotating drives you can buy today. Trying to speed up the SATA Bus will not provide any real-world performance increases for Rotating Drives.
    Even most common SSD drives are not bottlenecked by SATA 2.

  • Final Cut Pro with a ATI Radeon 9000 Pro

    I have an older Power Mac G4 that I have upgraded from 400Mhz to 1.4Ghz and a ATI Radeon 9000 Pro video card. I recently bought Final Cut Pro 2.0 and do not want to upgrade the video card yet again. Does anyone know of any work around to get Final Cut Pro to work on this computer?
    Details are as follows:
    Error message -
    The installed graphics card does not support the OpenGL features recommended by Final Cut Pro.
    ATI Radeon 9000 Pro:

    VRAM 64
    Any work around at all would be great. ATI told me to upgrade to 9600 AGP or 9800 AGP. I am not even sure the 9800 AGP will work on this vintage Power Mac.

    It looks like http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/specs.html you will be able to run the basic Final Cut Pro program but, obviously, its not going to scream. Many of the individual elements of the suite i.e. Motion, Color, are not going to function as they should without a significant boost in several things, memory, processor speed, video card.
    In all honesty, you should be running FCP 4.5 or 5.0 which will run very well with your hardware. But since you already have FCS2, (I assume that's what you mean, not really Final Cut 2) hang on to it for when you decide to do what all of us eventually will have to do; buy an Intel based box.
    My G5 is fast approaching obsolete, and I'm just waiting for the next version of Final Cut Suite to see how much box I need to go to. Didn't think this time 19 months ago I would be saying that... but time does roll on.
    You'll enjoy FCS2 (FCP6)

  • ATY radeon x1900 not compatible with Final Cut Pro X ???

    It looks like my ATY radeon x1900 Graphics card is not compatible with Final Cut Pro X and the new motion and compressor?
    I have a Macpro 2 x 3Ghz quad core Intel Xeon with 16gb RAM
    Any suggestion to which card I should Purchase?

    There are several threads here and abroad that mention the installer will notice and approve the ATI 5770 in older mac pros.
    I just now bought a 5770 from Apple's online store for my 2007 Mac Pro 2,1 so I'd have the compatibility if I ever decided to upgrade -- assuming at some point they'll run out of stock and not make any more.
    Keep in mind the 5770 has 1 dual link DVI and 2 mini display ports so you might need to pick up necessary adapters depending on your monitors.
    Hopefully FCPX will be usable in the near future and an upgrade will be pragmatic.
    (I sure hope they don't pull this stunt with the next Logic upgrade.)
    I may have a 1900XT for sale soon.

  • Problem using dual monitors with Radeon 9000 Pro and 2 x Samsung SM223BW

    Hello all
    I really need an expert opinion here:
    I am using quite a lot my MDD 1.25Ghz that is still equipped with the OEM ATI 9000 Pro Mac Edition with 64MBs of Video RAM and as most if not all Mac-specific cards it has an ADC and a DVI port. I recently purchased a couple of Samsung monitors; the afore mention in the subject SM223BW. The monitors have two inputs, both DVI and D-SUB (Analog VGA or otherwise plain old RGB).
    I have purchased a Formac ADC to DVI converter and connected this output to the DVI input of the first monitor. It works like a charm and the picture quality it is quite good (not as with an Apple Display but I couldn't afford them at this stage). For the second monitor I used a DVI to VGA cable (going from the DVI output of the card to the VGA In of the monitor).
    Now here is the problem: The monitor that is connected ADC to DVI has all the available 16:10 ratio option that are suitable for this monitor. The DVI to VGA one gives me only a 1680x1050 and all the rest are 4x3 resolutions.
    Would anyone know why this happens? Could it be a monitor issue? Could it be that perhaps TFT monitors offer different resolutions according to the input used. Or could it be the graphics card? Or even perhaps the cable?
    Under OS X, same settings and same computer I am given more resolution options. Would that mean that it might be as well my beloved OS 9 in combination with the card?
    Or am I stressing this too far?
    Please any ideas are more than welcome
    PS: I have a dual 2.0Ghz G5 connected to the rest of the DVI and VGA inputs to be able to run both without having to repatch. Otherwise a DVI to DVI connection would have made more sense and solved the problem

    Hey Simon
    I bought these monitors for their dual input functionality. The reason that I have the G4 connected to VGA is because I have another G5 connected the other way around in order to be able to use both computers, at any given time, with two screens.
    Perhaps to make clear the connections I've done (if of course anyone is interested :)) ...
    The G4 connects via ADC to DVI to the DVI input of Monitor No.1
    The G5 connects via VGA to VGA to Monitor No.1
    The G4 connects via DVI to VGA to Monitor No.2
    The G5 connects via DVI to DVI to Monitor No.2
    Another question would be why simply one mac isn't connected solely via DVI and the other one via VGA? The reason is that the VGA input looks awful on these screens for whatever reason. The image is seriously not sharp, the fonts looks horrendous and even with a lot of tweaking from the monitor settings, still I'd say the image is minging. If anyone knows why a VGA input can look that bad and still a monitor being in the market please let me know. It could be that this monitor is aimed to PC users and with the accompanying PC-only drivers all such are non-existent...Anyway I decided to go with the half DVI-half VGA solution to get the best out of the situation.
    But on the question asked, I decided to use a 2 DVI input Avocent KVM that I've got with interesting results. I am pretty sure it is boring to read but if anyone has spare time here it goes:
    The G4 connects via ADC to DVI to Monitor 1.
    Monitor 2 DVI output connects to DVI KVM Input
    The G4 connects via DVI to DVI to KVM Output 1
    The G5 connects via DVI to DVI to KVM Output 2
    The G5 still connects via VGA to VGA to Monitor 2
    In this manner I am guaranteed to utilize the DVI inputs for both monitors, at least on my G4 and the G5 be forced to utilize one VGA. The plus side of the situation is that I can use both systems with the flick of a button without having to get up to change the Source on the monitors plus of course one keyboard and a mouse. Now here is the interesting bit:
    Under OS 9, with the resolution 1280x800 on Monitor No.1 (the one connected via ADC to DVI) flips to - I think - 1680x1050 - it could be higher than that - with a thick black frame around the Desktop occupying a good chunk of the screen and the actual OS 9 looking minuscule at the center of it.
    Monitor No.2 (the DVI to DVI connected one) looks just fine.
    Now on top of that, when the G5 is switched on but the KVM is outputting the G4 desktop on Monitor No.2, whenever the mouse cursor slides on this monitor, it goes black! Just simply black and when I move the mouse cursor back on Monitor No.1 goes Desktop again.
    Under OS X, none of the afore mentioned problems exist. Everything runs fine and I am give more 16:10 resolutions as well.
    Confused? I am

    Do you have other virtualization or security software that might protect .ini and possibly other files in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) and prevent Firefox from updating them properly?
    You need to do a clean reinstall.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.

    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
