Radeon 9200 Pci 128 Video Card probelms

Having some probelms here i installed the video card and restarted everything went well but when it booted up to my desktop it froze up and didnt want to do anything

This ATI Knowledge Base article addresses the problem, occurring with a Radeon 9200 in early G4s running OS 9.2.2. Their suggestion is to move the Radeon card to a different slot and/or rearrange the existing PCI cards. They note that this problem doesn't occur in OS X.

PCI Express video cards

Does anyone know of any cheap PCI Express video cards.
I need a second video card for a G5 Powermac that's arriving soon but have not been able to find anything reasonably priced.

Where did u get this information?
I ask as before, if u tried to put a ATI 9200 in the
PCI slot, with an AGP card, your computer would
freeze, lose audio, or some other weird mess.
So basically, apple has said, hey ya! you can have
multiple cards now
You can't compare an AGP/PCI-X Mac with a PCIe Mac. The PCIe bus should handle multiple cards better.
Even on Linux I've run into issues with mixing AGP and PCI graphics cards. It's possible but it's not plug and play. With PCIe it's different.

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,

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.

Use PCI-e video card and onboard video at same time

This is going to be really annoying if i cant use both at the same time. I am trying to get 3 monitors running and want to use the onboard display port or vga port alongside my PCI-E video card and it seems in the bios that only one can work at a time. I am assuming this means i have to use a PCI card with my PCI-e one to get more than the 2 i have at a time.
Has anyone gotten onboard working alongside a PCI or PCI-E card? Seems like a silly thing to not enable in the Board as businesses have a need for more than 2 sometimes.
Any assistance would be great.

Desktop is not defaulting to PCI Express video card

Installed a Nvidia GTX 560TI w/appropriate power supply AFTER disabling secure boot and enabling legacy support. The computer booted to the video card after the second try reboot, drivers successfully installed. Later after attempting to wake the computer from sleep it has defaulted back to the onboard video WITHOUT restarting. Now will not recognize PCI express card.

Hi,
What power supply are your using? The stardard HP 460 watt power supply is insufficient for the NVIDIA 560 TI as it requires two 6 pin PCI-E power connectors.
Go back into the BIOS and make sure that Legacy mode is enabled and Secure boot is disabled. Save the changes and power off. Now power up and see if the system recognizes the discrete video card.
BTW - the PC needs to completely power down and back up before the BIOS will rescan for hardware changes.

Span to 2 monitors w/ExpressCard PCI-Express Video Card? Possible?Probable?

Hey guys. I had screen-real-estate envy a few months ago and talked myself into thinking I could live without a laptop and just drag my new 20" iMac around once every week or two when I do Keynote Teaching. The sucker's 25lbs and has sharp edges and a lot of cables, it's a huge hassle to set up and haul around.. it's no laptotp replacement, although I do adore the screen. This has brought me to my current plan to sell the iMac eventually and buy a MBP, which I'll want to span to a bigger LCD. But my real dream of the last 10 or so years is to have 3 monitors going at the same time. When I saw that the ExpressCard slot can interface with both USB2.0 AND the PCI-Express bus I started using my imagination on how I could have 3 monitors going without having to spring for a PowerMac.
So the question is, any discussion about an ExpressCard video card? Any in production? Anything theoretically wrong with this concept? Probability of it happening, time frame? Prognosticate away!

Yo! Don't post the same question twice, OK?
I posted a reply to the earlier occurrence of your
post. Check it out.
RRS
Yeah sorry if it's at odds with your forum sensibilities, but I felt that this question fit well in both the Display AND the Expansion forums - and since neither has been able to give me an answer (although the alternative you suggested isn't wholly a bad option) as to whether or not this is or will be possible, I'll keep the question alive in 2 places until it gets sorted out. If this is against forum policy or something let me know, otherwise...

PCIe x1 video Card for Mac Pro 2006?

Hello ,
My need is a little backwards of the regular request. We have a 2006 Mac Pro (upgraded to the dual quad-core Xeon 2.33ghz E5345) we are using for LTO data backup, not the usual graphics/editing setup.
So what we have found is the original NVidia card is PCIe 8x graphics, we also have an 8x RAID card and an 8x SAS HBA for the LTO tape drives. All this is taxing the PCIe bus on this older mac. We would like to free things up a bit by putting in a video card that does not attempt to use, or at least reserve a full 8 lanes for it's own use.
If this was a newer Mac Pro then no issue... But as it is now, I am getting lockups and freezes and other issues that I am sure are related to having 3 high-bandwidth cards in the same machine.
Anyone know of a good x1 business graphics card that can work for a Mac Pro (Snow Leopard 10.6.8)
Robert

Move the cards.
Some slots can't be 16x, and one can't be 8 or 16x.
Also, the PCIe is 1.1 which means half the bandwidth of current specification.
A driver or utility ought to tell you it isn't getting bandwIdth I guess.
A PC with PCIe 2.1, or wait for next generation of motherboards that could have even more bandwidth, PCIe 3.0, to support things like ThunderBolt, SSD controllers with 8 and 16Gbit/sec in bandwidth.
Or a computer with more than 4 PCIe slots or an expansion chassis.
What could be cause?
drivers
IOKit
Rule out means trial and error of trying with just one thing changed at a time and get it working, then move on.
7300GT in slot #3 for starters.
Put your most demanding in slot #1 which is double width.
More air flow, boost the darn fan rpm and keep them @ 1200 rpm
I'd pull drive bay #4 and keep it free to allow more airflow for an 8x card
High density FBDIMMs. Odd but 4GB DIMMs run cooler and better, and in 1,1 the ideal is just a set of 4 (two on each Riser) for 4 x 2GB or 4 x 4GB.
Different SAS and RAID cards. Maybe they don't get along and have bus contention or driver conflict.
Are you using ATTO? usually a good bet.
You aren't using Mid-2010 Mac Pro and can't use 64-bit kernel, which is a shame but simplifies troubleshooting and no issue with 64-bit drivers.

Does PCI Express Video Card compatible on a MSI KM4M Motherboard

Does a PCI Express NVDIA Video Card (8500GT 512MB/128Bit/DDR2) compatible on a MSI KM4M Series Motherboard (System Model: KM400-8235)?
Is it possible to setup the PCI Express NVDIA Video Card on the MSI Motherboard PCI Bus Slot?
Thanks for any response.

Quote from: saijin on 11-January-10, 10:44:44
Maybe this is a dumb question..
There's no way a PCI-e card will work on that board. AGP yes, PCI yes, PCI-e no.

PCI express video Card for Lr3?

Greetings,
I may recall reading that a "certain type" of video card will help speed up Lr3 performance...
If so - what type am I looking for and of course - what is a good money bargain??
Thank-you!

Can you be more specific about your processor and your system? If the AMD processor is one of the first generation dual cores (I gather they are still being sold in budget systems), then upgrading to a more modern processor will show you the most benefit and saving your pennies for a new system would be the best option.
Otherwise, add that gig of RAM and, if your computer motherboard can handle it, jump up to 8GB.
Add a graphics card if you don't have one because without one your system dedicates system RAM to graphics.
Add a second 7200RPM hard drive if your system power supply and cooling can handle it.

Radeon 9200 PCI card

Does anyone have any experience using this graphics card on a dual G4, 500 MHz tower? I am trying to find out if it will work.
Also, I remember reading somewhere that Apple is moving into PCI cards. Is a PCI card likely to remain current longer than an AGP card?
I currrently have an ATY,Rage128Pro and need to upgrade to AGP for compatibility with Final Cut Express.
Thanks.

If your computer has an AGP slot you should use it. It is a lot faster than PCI. The ATI 9200 should work if it is a Mac version. New Mac G5s use PCI-Express which is not the same as PCI. It is a lot faster than PCI or AGP.

MSI NX 6600 Ares PCI-E video card availability

I cannot find a vendor who has the new NX 6600 Ares PCI-E card.
Has it been released yet?

Richard,
I just discovered that MSI has a new GeForce 7600GT, 256 MB card available:
NX7600GT-T2D 256E
Dual DVI
Available from several vendors for $200.00 to $220.00
PC World reviewer really praised it.
I see your recommendation to go to the 6600GT, and now that this 7600GT is out, I'm going to scale up another notch-- since it will be on an ASUS A8N SLI Premium board, with AMD Athlon 64 x 2, 3800 Dual Core Processor, and a gig of DDR 400 Ram in the new Antec P 150 case (now that they have the problem with the NeoPower supply worked out). I am building a quiet PC; I hope that this card has low db. Didn't see any utility to regulate fan speed, so will have to live with whatever audibility, but that will be the case with any card--except fanless.
I appreciate your postings to my topic.

A75A-G35 Problem installing Radeon 5850 and 5870 Video Cards

Hello,
I have a A75A-G35 motherboard with an AMD A4 processor.
When I install the first Radeon card (radeon 5850) the driver finds the card (no problem).
When I install the second card (Radeon 5870) the driver cannot install and the system reports an error.
I have checked to be sure the cards are properly seated, can anyone suggest a solution?
Thank you!!

Why do you want to mix a 5870 and a 5850? Crossfire will work badly on this mainboard as it can only provide X4 for the second slot and an A4 processor is also far too slow to take any advantage of a CF setup anyway.
