Radeon HD 2600 XT With MacPro 2006 and 10.5.1

Does this work?
I know the Radeon HD 2600 XT is compatible with the early MacPros as a replacement for the 7300, but do you need 10.5.2 to run it, or can it be run with 10.5.1?
Also, any issues with Bootcamp?

Since this card is not officially supported by Apple who's to say it will not work on the next update ?
My G5 with an Ati 800xt does not operate right with Leopard after I installed the latest updates I had to go back to the original card......
I dont truest updates on cards that Apple does not officially recognizes .... otherwise I would probably go with that card over the stock 7300 but I am hoping they will properly come out with a compatible 8800gt .... but who knows ..... this whole video upgrade thing on older mac pro's makes me sick. Apple has really dropped the ball here and they really do not care.... theres simply no official video upgrade path for the 1st gen mac pro ....

Updating ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT with 256MB

Hello All,
I have a early 2008 Mac Pro Quad-Core 2.66 with ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT with 256MB dual DVI. I would like to update to a newer card and was wondering what is compatable with my machine. I have 12GB of ram and I do video editing and gaming on the off time. I've seen whats out there and I read that there is only a couple of modles that is compatable with my 32bit system. I am running dual monitors so I need a dual DVI setup.
Can someone suggest a decent card that's not going to bust the bank too much. Something that will run what I need to without having to fork over $1,000 for the latest and greatest. or maybe the lowest to the highest price point.
Thanks in advance.

you would be much happier with Apple's ATI 5770 $250. You do not have a 32-bit system. You don't even have 32-bit EFI (firmware).
You can spend more for higher end cards.
12GB RAM - FBDIMMs have gotten cheaper and better if you are in the market 2x2GB $30

Update 10.8.2 from 10.8.1 fails with MacPro 2009 and ATI HD 5870

I tried to update my Mac Pro 2009 from 10.8.1 to 10.8.2, after the download and install of 10.8.2 my mac completly hang in a white screen mode with broken graphics. No chance to fix that - i nearly tried everything. All hardware is okay, as i went back to 10.8.1 from a cloned drive.
Yes, the configuration of my mac is complex, here is a list:
Mac Pro 2009 2x 2.66 GhZ Quad-Core
96 GB RAM - 3x 16GB + 3x 16GB
ATI RADEON HD5870 1GB
Apple RAID Card installed (with 4 drives raid 5 attached)
Apple Fibre Channel Card installed (2x 4GB Fiberchannel)
Monitor NEC PA301W
Booting from a Crucial M$ 512MB SSD
Again: All works perfectly fine on 10.8.1.... As I went back through a cloned drive.
BUT it`s impossible to boot the machine even from an attached (firewire) clean installed 10.8.2 (i tried that too)
10.8.2 worls perfectly on my the Mac Book Air, no prblems upgrading at all- BUT did anybody know of a bug - especially related with the ATI HD 5870 in an MacPro 2009 ?? I repeat myself, all works perfectly great on 10.8.1 but there is as of now no chance to go up to 10.8.2 without getting a white blank screen.
So please, did anybody had the same problems with the ATI 5870 ? Or with the Apple Raid Card or Aplle Fibrechannel 2 Port Card? Is it the combination within my Mac Pro?
I would really appreciate any tipp, help or support !
Thanks!!!

After successfully installing 10.8.2 from 10.8.1 - which never worked with 96 GB (6x 16GB) on my Mac Pro, it worked perfectly with reducing the RAM to 48 GB. See posting above.
After the 10.8.2 Update I added again 16GB to a total of 64 GB - WORKED!
Then I tried it again with all 6x 16GB (3x 16 + 3x 16Gb) FAILED ... again the same frozen broken screen on 10.8.2 - whitch works PERFECTLY under 10.8.1 (!!)
Last not least I added 1x 16GB more, so right now I have 3x 16GB on Bank 1 + 2x 16GB on Bank 2 - in total 80GB and it WORKS!!!
The memory is fine ! as i changed the different RAM Modules, so it`s NOT a defective RAM Module. For me right now the solution is either to run 10.8.2 with 80GB OR 10.8.1 with 96GB.
I guess this really has to be a BUG, or has anybody else another idea WHY 96GB RAM work on 10.8.1 and (in my case max. 80 GB RAM) work only in 10.8.2?
Maybe this solves some problems for other with >64GB RAM installed when they want to upgrade from 10.8.1 to 10.8.2 .... If you can run your system with more than 80GB PLEASE let me know. Right now I have at least one spare 16GB module.
so that config is working now:
Mac Pro 2009 2x 2.66 GhZ Quad-Core
80 GB RAM - 3x 16GB + 2x 16GB
ATI RADEON HD5870 1GB
Apple RAID Card installed (with 4 drives raid 5 attached)
Apple Fibre Channel Card installed (2x 4GB Fiberchannel)
Monitor NEC PA301W
Booting from a Crucial M$ 512MB SSD

KVM switch one Cinema hd display (dvi) with macpro (dvi) and macbook pro (mini displayport)

I want to use a KVM switch to share one display with two computers.
Computer one is: MacPro 1,1 dual core 2.66 Ghz with two DVI ports.
Computer two is: MacBook Pro 4 core 2.66 GHz with one Mini Displayport.
Display is: Cinema HD Display with DVI connector.
To do that KVM switches only use (at least that is waht I found) one system either DVI or Mini Displayports
http://www.gefen.com/kvm/dproduct.jsp?prod_id=3113
DVI --> KVM SWITCH<-- DVI
                     V
               DVI (monitor)
http://www.atlona.com/Atlona-2x1-Mini-DisplayPort-KVM-Switch.html
Mini Displayport (Macpro) --> KVM SWITCH <-- Mini Displayport (Macbookpro)
                                                         V
                                                 DVI (monitor)
However what I want is:
DVI (Macpro) --> KVM SWITHCH<-- Mini Displayport (Macbookpro)
                                       V
                              DVI(monitor)
I couldn't find an existing KVM switcher that does this.
Then there is the following solution
DVI (Macpro) --> KVM SWITCH <-- ADAPTER (Mini Displayport to DVI) <-- Mini Displayport (Macbookpro)
                                    V
                            DVI(monitor)
The question is: Will this work?
I've been told that adapter behind adapter never works. Hope someone can help with this before spending money on nothing.
Thanx David

Maybe you're right just try and see if I can return the stuff if it's not working.
I won't be using a higher resolution then 1920 x 1200 however I still would buy the adapter
Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB571Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDA3Ng
for connecting macbookpro to KVM DVI switch.
However if there's still someone with experiencing the exact same thing I would be much obliged.

I am getting the photoshop has detected graphics hardware not supported for 3d...without 512 vRam. I have enough and yet it still gives me the error. I have ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB installed and can't find any updates on adobe? What gives?

Where do I find the update?

Well, which school did you attend to justify your crooked math? When I was at school 256 was less than 512 or exactly half of 512... This simply won't work and nobody can fix it for you. Your graphics hardware is simply completely inadequate, considering that it is like 7 years or so old to begin with.

Xorg 1.8.1.902 & Catalyst 10.6-5 & Mobility Radeon HD 2600

Hello all,
I'm reporting in with an error that I can't seem to shake since the Xorg 1.8 and Catalyst 10.6 release. I have been unable to get the two to place nice with the Mobility Radeon HD 2600 in my HP Compaq 8510p notebook. I've followed the instructions on the Arch ATI Catalyst wiki using the repository approach. Everything installs correctly and I've configured the xorg.conf as instructed in the wiki. I actually just delete the existing xorg.conf and run aticonfig --initial, but still no dice. I've made sure that I have the fglrx module loaded in my rc.conf.
When GDM tries to start, it freaks out with the screen flashing a few times and then crashes saying too many attempts to start X. I login and try to start X manually and it produces the following log file:

Oops, my bad.

Crashes with Mac Pro and Wacom Cintiq?

Anyone else here running a Mac Pro with a Wacom Cintiq? I am having issues with this configuration since I updated to 10.5.3. Mac OS X would crash while I am using the Cintiq.
I have an 8-Core Mac Pro (Early 2008) with the stock ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT with 256MB GDDR3 memory (two dual-link DVI). I got a Wacom Cintiq 20WSX and I am running it as a secondary display with a 30" Apple Cinema Display. I mainly use Adobe Flash CS3 to do animation.
I was able to run with this set up for a month trouble-free until I noticed it crashing (gray curtain of death) recently. That was when I updated to 10.5.3.
I tried to downgrade back to 10.5.1 and found that the set up runs more stable with that version. However, I have some apps (such as Aperture 2) that I need to run, hence my persistence in running under 10.5.3, or 10.5.4 even.
I have the latest Wacom Tablet driver installed, by the way.
I just wanted to know if anyone else have this same set up but is having no issues. I would love to know what settings they are using that makes their setup trouble free. Or am I out of luck and should just revert back to 10.5.1?
Thanks.

Hey, hopfully anyone here could possible help me with this...
I have a MBP and when I bought a Wacom Cintiq half a year ago, Wacom told me already that there are problems with the NVIDIA 8600M GT. At the beginning everything run normal. Whenever I used the Cintiq to draw or just as a second monitor. BUT whenever I didn't connect it to my MBP my Intuos was not recognized (the tablet prefs where not in the System Preferences). As soon as I plug in the Cintiq and would un-plug it right after, the Intuos is recongized (and the Wacom prefs where in the System Preferences). When I installed the latest Wacom software (I un-installed the old one before), it seemed to work. I started my computer and it recognized the Intuos straight and the Wacom prefs, YES! BUT since yesterday, I believe the first time I used the Cintiq since I installed the new Wacom drivers, the same problem appeared again. In my System Preferences I get the message, "A USB tablet was not found when the system started....". This is driving me insane, to basically need a second monitor to plug in first in order to use my tablet?!?!?! This way I am not able to use my tablet when I am mobile and that is a big handicap....
Thanks.

Retina 5K display: can I use this with my MacPro 2006 Quad 8 core?

Dear Community
I have a MacPro early 2008 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon; ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 MB: 20-inch DVI (1680 x 1050).
Is it possible to upgrade to the new 5K Retina Display?
Regards
Steve

Steve ~ There is no new Apple 5K Retina Display as such, i.e. an Apple 5K Retina monitor to connect to a Mac Pro. There is a new iMac with Retina 5K display, but my understanding is that it cannot be used as a monitor. And if Apple were to produce a new Retina 5K version of their current Apple Thunderbolt Display (which is a monitor), I doubt a 2006 or 2008 Mac Pro could drive it.

Problems with ATI Radeon HD 2600, electrical interference or flickering pix

Problems with ATI Radeon HD 2600, electrical interference or flickering pixels
I have a Macro 8 core purchased just 4 months ago with the ATI Radeon HD 2600. Just started getting what looks like electrical interference or flickering pixels all over the screen. It gets worse and worse to the point where i see and cant work then clears up for an hour and then comes back.
If I change the resolution from 1680x1050 to 1600x1200 everything looks fine and the problem goes away.
Monitor works fine on two other computers, driver is up to date.
Would like to upgrade at some point just disappointed that I’m already having problems.
Any suggestions would be very helpful, in the mean time I’ll searching the forums.
Thanks,

When you called Applecare or went to a Genius bar were they of no help?

Lion graphics extremely slow with Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256MB

Made a clean install with Lion and it now turns out that the graphics (Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256MB) on my Core 2 Duo iMac are way to slow (or insufficient VRAM) for the Lion UI.
Especially fullscreen apps animations and opening Launchpad folders are extremely choppy. Not much fun the way it is.
I mean come on, a mac, which can play WoW pretty well should be able to push 2D Graphics around, right?
When booting up the UI is fast, but after letting the iMac on for a while or waking it from sleep the graphics are choppy again.
Anyone else having this problem?

IMovie 10 on an iMac 24-inch Mid 2007 with ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256MB?

Will iMovie 10 ever be installable on an iMac 24-inch Mid 2007 with ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256MB?

They updated iMovie to 10.0.1 so it will work with these Mavericks machines:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6023
"Installing iMovie (2013) previously required a computer with an OpenCL-capable video card. This requirement was removed, and you can install iMovie version 10.0.1 on any Mac with OS X Mavericks."

ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT and early Mac Pro

I have been following the debate regarding the ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT and old Mac Pro with interest, however my problem is not quite the same. As all the correspondents are located in the USA. I would guess they are referring to Apple part no MB198Z/A. But ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT is sold in the UK by Apple as part no MB198, and I cannot be sure that it has an identical spec. Does one Know the Answer? Please respond if you know
Thank You
For info Below is the response given by ATI
(The specifications are the same. The HD 2000 series cards runs on PCIE 1.1. You will need to confirm this with www.apple.com since the cards are specifically flashed by Apple. These cards may contain different video bios versions.)

M.O.K.,
Based on the ATI information regarding PCIE 1.1, the card is the same and should work. I would call Apple when ordering to confirm.
I have the 2600 XT in my 2.66Ghz Mac Pro and it works very well. Much better than the OEM card.

ATI Radeon 2600 PROBLEM: First display wide and second not in mirror mode?

Hi all, I bought a new mac pro with ATI Radeon HD 2600, my problem is this: I have one LCD monitor widescreen 1680x1050 that i use like primary display and one normal CRT television 800x600 that i use like second monior... If i set the "mirror mode" on display the clone reduce automactly my LCD to not wide monitor and i see two black row... Is it possible use the mirror mode in two different monitor? it works only at 1024x768 not 1680x1050 is the video card not enough power? Should be fixed that thing ? Regards
Message was edited by: egariM

You did not understand the true intent of mirror displaying, which adjusts to the lower specifications of the two screens. You would not like to see your CRT display have to accept high bandwith 1680x1050 signal and fry would you ?
Neither is the reduction of the content of a 1680x1050 screen to a 800x600 acceptable, and not only because of the width/height different ratios : text would be pure garbage, except in huge fonts.
So your mac pro adjusted the display to the 800x600 your crt can accept, as my macbook would when connecting to a video projector for presentation, when in mirror mode.
This is obviously the best choice it could have done, you see...
Now, if you want to keep best resolutions in both screen, then you have no other option than to use extended desktop.

Big Disappointment with iMac Intel (Late 2006) and Apple ProCare.

I've been a Mac user, Mac enthusiast, and Mac advocate for over 15 years. I've owned multiple Macs. One of my latest acquisitions was an Intel iMac in October 2006.
A few weeks ago, the iMac started freezing and shutting down intermittently. After days of online discussions trying to figure out the problem, I finally ran out of patience, and took the iMac to my local Apple Store on 7/23/07.
Two days later, I was told that the Logic Board needed to be replaced. It's been two weeks, and every time I contact the Apple Store, I am told that they are still waiting for the part.
Meanwhile I am left without the main computer in my house, where I store all my documents, music, photos and videos. In addition, I have a ProCare membership, and even purchased the Extended 3-year warranty. In this age of instant communication and express delivery, I cannot understand why it would take two weeks to get a part from Apple.
I am very disappointed with the Apple Care for a company with such a high reputation for service.
What are my rights as a consumer? How long do I have to wait before they offer me a replacement. How do I go about requesting a replacement?

"The question still remains: How long am I going to be in repair mode before the Apple store decides to offer a replacement?"
Hello Herold Merisier!
The answer is that since each case may be different, there is no real set policy in this regard, with decision making and customer satisfaction in the hands of managers.
I'm surprised to hear that there is any difficulty at all getting that logic board. I just don't believe that there is any shortage, and it does not take two weeks to get one there, unless no one cares about you, which would be an unacceptable attitude. There must be something else at play in this situation.
I would guess that due to an inability to handle the work in-Store, the repair of your iMac has been handed over to an AASP, either to be performed at the AASP or somewhere on the Store premises.
Due to the disruption of the iPhone events, the repair of your iMac might have dropped off the radar screen of the Apple Store's Manager, and also of the Manager of the AASP. The problem may be an overworked AASP (not your fault), with some lower level employee there trying to pass the buck back to the Store through their lower level employees, and then on to you.
If such is the case, the job of Managers and Assistant Managers is to be aware of such things and manage them, therefore your circumstance is extremely disappointing. The first thing to do is not to try and lay blame, but make certain that the Store Manager is personally aware of your situation, and (unless you know it's already been done) to ask that all your paperwork details be verified - that your warranty and AppleCare are actually registered and in effect for your iMac, that your ProCare is recognized as being on the record, and that your iMac's repair is not accidentally misplaced, but will now be given Priority. In doing that, someone might discover the cause of your delay.
I would guess that the Manager of your Apple Store is also not aware of your exact situation, as it almost sounds as if the Manager is on vacation, or something very much worse:(
Considering the iMac product line and the age and needs of your iMac, the cost to Apple and the Manager of the Apple Store to fully satisfy you in this case will be absolutely negligible. If it's possible for you to speak to the Store Manager today or tomorrow, I'd be surprised if your iMac, or a replacement, isn't in your hands by Wednesday at the latest.
If you are unable to speak to the actual Store Manager, and if the Assistant Manager to whom you then speak is unable or unwilling to resolve this for you within 24 hours, you should call AppleCare's toll free number and ask to speak to an AppleCare Manager about your lack of service problem and what the bottleneck might possibly be.
