Radeon 9600 Pro - Quartz Extreme not supported? Help!

I've just got a Radeon 9600 Pro PC/Mac edition, as the 9600XT that came with the G5 died on me last week. It's taken an age to get it working, I could only boot in safe mode, in the end I deleted all my existing ATI extensions, installed the ATI Displays 4.5.7 and it works. BUT ... (and it's a big but)... performance is VERY slow and System Profiler says Core Image and Quartz Extreme are not supported. If anyone's got any ideas I'd be most grateful.
Thanks. Richard.

OK here's the latest. I did an Archive and Install (keeping my users home folders, though), and when the G5 restarted after the install it hung - the grey screen with apple appears, the little cog rotates under the apple, then that freezes and, although you can hear the hard drive working for a little while, it gets no further.
So I booted in safe mode, which works fine - ran the 10.4.10 combo updater, reset PRAM and NVRAM, same again - won't boot. Then I installed the ATI drivers from their website - same again. I can only boot in safe mode.
So i'm back where I was when I first installed the card - the only way I could boot other than in safe mode was to delete all the ATI extensions from /System, after that it booted but reported Quartz Extreme and Core Image not supported.
ATI support still haven't replied to phone calls and emails from Monday. So I' kind of at my wits end with this. Surely if I can boot in safe mode there can't be a hardware issue with the card, can there? Could there be something wrong with my AGP slot??
Any ideas gratefully received.

    I also have a AJA Kona LHe hooked up. Thanks.

    Pretty much from what I see, there is a conflict with the AJA drivers because every time I uninstall the AJA drivers then check the system profiler, both displays show that Quartz Extreme is supported. But once I install any version of the AJA drivers for Final Cut Studio 2 (5.1, 5.1 NDD, and 6) it will disable the support for Quartz Extreme for one of my displays. So the only thing I can do is hope there is a 6.1 or something that will take care of that issue. I read the update news for 6, and there was no fix for what causes this problem. Otherwise it would have said it fixed the problem that required them to make a NDD version of the last driver. I emailed AJA the other night about this, but haven't heard back from them. I hope they have a good reply.

    Hi Leek Mibles;
    May I welcome you to the Apple Discussion Forums.
    The reason your system is telling you it can do Core Image is because it doesn't have the hardware to support it. Since your system is a PowerBook, you are unable to upgade the graphic card because it is soldered in. So I am sorry to say that the only way for you to get Core Image is to upgrade your whole system.

  • Quartz Extreme not supported after 10.4.7 update

    I recently updated to 10.4.7 and now quartz extreme is not supported.
    How can I resolve this problem?

    Hi Dr. Smoke.
    Many thanks for offering some advice so quickly.
    1. The reason I believe Quartz Extreme is " not supported" is mainly because when i turn my mac on and start using OS X, if I am in say DVD player or might use a widget the screen is very "choppy". Not sure if this is clear, but the motion is choppy. When I checked my system profiler it showed:
    ATI Radeon 9200:

    Quartz Extreme: Not Supported

    Now, I just recently I decided to change my resolution and checked back with the system profiler and it said Quartz Extreme was supported. Core Image still says "Not supported".
    Unless I manually change the res. everytime I use my mac it still keeps saying Quartz Extreme is not supported.
    Can you tell me what is happening and is it fixable?
    many thanks!

  • Suddenly  Quartz Extreme Not Supported

    Just got my new 20" iMac G5. was enjoying the RSS and iTunes artwork screensavers only this morning and now after migrating from my G5 1.6 they're gone and system profiler now says Quartz Extreme Not Supported. Zapped Pram all software updated and done a couple of re-starts.
    Can't think what I've done (or not) to screw up this feature
    Any help welcome

  • GeForce4 MX Quartz Extreme not supported

    My Geforce4 is supposed to be supported by QE. I did a install of tiger over panther and now nothing works. I can not install final cut 3.0. i ran all if the software updates from apple.
    my machine is a DP 867 G4. I tried to hit esc when the QE error msg pops up but that does not work. Is there a solution to this. I don't know what else to do!!

    I experienced a similar grief, FCE 3.5 was working OK until I decided to lower some of the settings to see if my computer would work faster. When I tried to open FCE 3.5 the sign [ Graphic card does not meet the requirement of this software ] Finally I went into (About this Mac) >More info > Graphics/Display and saw Quartz Extreme: Not supported. I then went into System Preferences >Display and saw the setting: Colors was in Thousands. I changed it to Millions and Wallah!! every thing works as normal again.
    Check your display and make sure the color is set to millions. I hope this helps.
    Peace Love & Courage

  • Mac Mini: Quartz Extreme not supported?

    I have a Mac mini (late 2008) 2.0Ghz with an Intel GMA950. MB139LL/A -- It says Quartz Extreme is not supported. Is that right? This machine is new and shipped with Leopard. Do the Mac minis really not support Quartz Extreme?

    I'm not sure which "Samsung SyncMaster 940" you have, but it looks like the technology in that monitor may be about 5 years old.
    My guess is that monitors that have been released more recently will have better support.
    Personally, I like to buy monitors from stores with good return policies, because you never know what you might not like about a monitor until you try it. Depending on where you live, Costco can be a good place to buy monitors, as they have probably the best return policy in the business. (90 days on TVs, but no time limit on monitors -- the last time I checked.)

  • Quartz Extreme not showing up on stock Mac Pro and card

    I have purchased a new Mac Pro and LED Cinema Display from the Apple store last month. Safari Top Sites is not working and the "help" stated I need Quartz Extreme. Looked in the profile, but it is not listed in the list on the right at all. It is a stock apple card and display.
    Is my monitor video card not even capable of using this feature or do I need to reinstall the system or something??

    With Snow Leo basically if you can't get quartz extreme you shouldn't be running 10.6.x
    Easy way to tell if it is working though would be that your menu bar across the entire top of the screen is transparent, or if you add a widget to dashboard you will get the ripple effect. If you are on a system where Quartz Extreme is disabled you will not get those effects.

  • PPC G5 with ATI Radeon 9600 Pro monitors not getting signal

    hi there.
    I have a PPC G5 with ATI Radeon 9600 Pro graphics card and I cannot get a monitor to work properly. I am trying an old Apple Studio Display (circa 2001) and a Viewsonic VA520.
    It seems like the Apple display should work, but all I get is a black screen. I ran it through a DVI to ADC adapter and had it working for a short period of time, but for some unknown reason it went back to the black screen.
    The Viewsonic gives a 'NO SIGNAL' screen and not much else.
    Both of these monitors have worked on other G5's. I am guessing this is a graphics card issue.
    I appreciate any kind or helpful words! Thank you.

    I'm having a similar problem with the G5 not recognizing a VGA monitor on either video out. I have no problem using two monitors with the DVI inputs but I need to use a VGA video splitter for a third screen. It worked at the beginning of this week, and now it refuses any VGA out, even without the splitter, just going into directly into the VGA in of one of my working monitors via a DVI-VGA adapter(i've tried different ones). I read another post about trashing "displays" and "windowserver" preference files but i haven't yet tried that..any clues??

  • Help! Blue Screen hangs on G5 after installing Radeon 9600 pro...

    Hi
    I am having major problems with my G5, after working out that my old graphics card was knackered i bought a new ati radeon 9600 pro.
    Every time i start up i get the apple logo then it hangs on a blue screen. I can get it to boot in safe mode and i've tried uninstalling the ati software and i've even re-installed OS X and wiped the disk to no avail.
    I've also downloaded latest card drivers and looked for help on ati website but no real help there.
    I would appreciate any help.thanks

    I just installed an ATI X800 XT and it does exactly the same thing. Even on a new system build. Ironically enough I just took out a Radeon 9600XT that worked fine. Have you found a solution yet? I think I'm going to try and reset my pram. I'll let you know what I find out.

  • Help : Will ATI Radeon 9600 Pro run a 30" Cinema Display ? ? ?

    just a simple question as the subject suggests /
    i have a 1st generate Power Mac G5 Dual 2GHZ / with Radeon 9600 Pro
    graphics card . i would simply like to know if it will plug an play nicely
    with a 30 inch monitor - be it the Apple Cinema Display or Dell -
    anyone have any definitive answers / my thanks in advance
    best,
    lex

    You need a different graphics board with dual-link DVI to run the 30" at full resolution. The AGP cards Apple sold that have dual-link DVI ports are:
    ATI Radeon 9650 XT (one single-link, one dual-link DVI)
    NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GT DDL (two dual-link DVI)
    NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra DDL (two dual-link DVI)
    Apple doesn't sell these as retail items, but might sell them as replacement parts, or you could look for them used. Be sure to get Mac versions.
    There are two new graphics boards that will work:
    ATI Radeon® X800 XT MAC Edition RoHS 256MB AGP (one ADC, one dual-link DVI)
    <http://shop.ati.com/product.asp?sku=3170810>
    ATI Radeon® 9600 Pro PC & MAC Edition RoHS 256MB AGP (one single-link, one dual-link DVI)

  • ATI Radeon 9600 Pro / 256MB + Leopard

    Hello i have problem to install correct my ATI Radeon 9600 Pro / 256MB. I Installed ATI Radeon 9600 Pro / 64 MB on my mac, because i could not install Logic Pro 8, and I Installed succesful. Install programm said by ATI Radeon 9600 Pro / 256MB that Quartz extreme are not supported, and I have 0 MB VRAM. That's not right. I Tried install update for ATi, after no display. I install Grafic update for OSX and the same. I was found that in system / Library / Extensions/ are ATI Radeon 9700.kext . When I delete this file i can run my Cinema 30'' display, but I cannot run Quartz Extreme. But this card are supported for Quartz extreme. When I put my old card

    Das Problem ist gefunden. Der Mac wurde 2003 gekauft, und wie viele von dieser Serie waren Motherboard fehlerhaft. Ich habe 2 davon. Die Motherboards waren dann 2004 ausgetauscht zu unterschiedlichen Zeiten. Der 1. in April andere November. Dann war alles scheintbar O.K.
    Erst jetzt haben wir gesehen durch den Austausch von Grafikkarten das etwas nicht stimmt.
    ES WAR MOTHERBOARD DIE FEHLERHAFT IST. In 2. G5 von 2003 geht die Karte einfach wunderbar. Ich hofe das Ich damit helfe den Tausenden da draussen die gleiche Problem haben vor allem in Apple forum, und keiner hat Lösung.
    Vielen Dank an die Firma Colormatch - die Jungs sind einfach Klasse Schlau.

  • No sleep after upgrading to a  radeon 9600 pro 256MB graphics card

    I swapped my original radeon 9600 pro 64MB with a 9600 pro 256MB card and now my G5 dual 2.0 tower will not sleep. Should I download the 9600 pro drivers that are on the ATI support site, they only list these drivers for OSX 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 and since I have 10.5 I am hesitant to do so. There seems to be a definite increase in graphic speed with the 256MB card and since I will be doing a lot of iphoto and imovie on this computer the upgrade would be a big help.

    Can you find your model here? http://support.apple.com/specs/#powermac
    Well, if you think you saw the PMU button near your RAM that would be it, just hold it down for a second or two.
    Well, I'm not surprised that the PC is faster. You're running a very new OS on a very old machine. But Macs of any vintage are great, aren't they.
    When you got your video card did you install the software from the disk that came with it?
    One thing you might try if not sleeping is really bugging you would be to download and reapply the entire full 10.5.5 Combo Update. That has a way of correcting things when they've become corrupted.
    It's pretty massive so if you're using a modem it would take quite awhile.

  • 1360 X 768 Resolution with ATI Radeon 9600 Pro

    Maybe this isn't the right forum, but I've been surfing for hours with no luck so please forgive me if this seems out of place.
    I output a show recently to QuickTime at 720 24 fps. I'd like to watch it on my 40" Samsung 720 HD TV. I cabled up and managed to get a picture in nearly fullscreen and nearly appropriate aspect ratio, but it doesn't look all that hot. Samsung tells me I want to set my Display settings on my Mac to 1360 x768 to achieve optimum picture. I told them I don't have that option in my settings. They said I probably need to update my driver on my ATI Radeon 9600 Pro video card. I did, still no 1360x768 setting. They said I might want to install the ATI Displays utility. That doesn't seem to offer anything useful. ATI's online support says I might want to install ATI's latest ROM updater, but I can't find any such thing even though the web seems full of mentions of such a beast.
    Anyone have any ideas or any suggestion as to where I should post this question?

  • MS-6309 motherboard and ATi radeon 9600 Pro

    I have a MS-6309 motherboard. I have recently installed an ATi Radeon 9600 Pro 128MB graphics card and am having some problems. I am running Windows 98. I can't get Direct 3D and AGP Texture Acceleration (this is disabled) to work. I want to download the latest drivers for my motherboard but don't know which link to choose on the motherboard drivers page of the MSI web site.
    The problems that occur are:
    1) The screen freezes up
    2) The graphics on the screen go blurry
    3) Everything stops and the monitor switches off
    I am sure this is a driver issue and not a hardware issue. Please can someone help me!

    chances are you need a better psu than you had before actually
