Sapphire Radeon 9800XT
Recently i bought a Sapphire Radeon 9800XT. I already know that it appears to be normal for the card to get hot. Personnally mine has a constant temp of 66°C in idle status. Now that may be normal but it crashes during COD gameplay and on top of that it also crashed during a standard aquamark3 benchmark.
It's not the previous (nvidia) drivers problem since i did a clean install (format c:\).
I'm not sure if it's a heat problem, my case (mentionned further on) has four fans, three intake (i think) one exhaust.
Following tech. details of my machine:
.CPU intel pentium 4 - 2.6GHz
.MSI mobo 875P NEO series
.Video Card (Model: RADEON 9800 XT; Driver: ati2mtag.sys)
.Sound Card (Manufacturer: Creative Technology Ltd.) Model: Creative AudioPCI
.RAM 512mb
.Zalman psu 400W
.Case=ThermalTake Lanfire (http://www.thermaltake.com/xaserCas...ire/vm2000a.htm)
Core centre:
Vcore=1.63v
3.3v=3.36v
+5v=5.00v
+12v=11.76v
cpu temp=35°C
sys temp=33°C
NB temp=65°C
case temp (idle status)=25.3°C
CPU fan speed=+/- 2700rpm
NB fan speed=+/- 4115rpm
Any help would be appreciated.
There used to be a problem with CoD crashing when FastWrites were enabled. Disabling them in the BIOS and on the SmartGART tab fixed it.

How many Sapphire Sapphire RADEON R9 270X can i install in my mac pro 2009?
How many of the graphics cards can I install in my mac pro 2009? Sapphire Sapphire RADEON R9 270X
ThanksWhy? do you use FCP-X? that will benefit from two. Also gaming in Windows where you can use Crossfire
You have two 6-pin power feeds so you will need a small 450W PSU - those come with two 8-pin and two 6-pin.
Those can often fit in the optical drive bay and cost $25-75 range.
"500W" is NOT for the card! that is the minimum PC PSU only!
when buying look for card that uses only two 6-pin and not an 8-pin power.
75W for the PCIe slot, and 150W from two 6-pin cables, most GPUs fall into the 200-250W at maximum stress levels8-pin is basically two 6-pins and 150W feed

http://barefeats.com/tube06.html
Keep in mind that the Mac Pro tower can't feed enough power to the dual 980s, dual 290Xs, or dual 7950s.
We used an auxillary power supply to compensate.
For the hard core GPU rendering, there are external expansion boxes with their own power supplies.
In an earlier article, we featured the Cubix Xpander which facilitated the connection of 5 GPUs to the Mac Pro tower.
If you favor an AMD GPU like the Radeon R9 290X, MacVidCards can modify it to run at PCIe 2.0 bandwidth in your Mac Pro tower.
The Sapphire Radeon R9 7950 Mac Edition is available from OWC and TransIntl.

December 28th, 2013 -- Does Final Cut Pro X 10.1 render faster on Mac Pro towers with Dual AMD GPUs? What about Motion 5.1?
Things to keep in mind:
The Radeon R9 280X we used was 'un-flashed.' It booted OS X fine but there was no startup screen. Also, when we checked the speed of CPU-to-PCIe-to-CPU communication, it appeared to be running in PCIe 1.0 mode instead of PCIe 2.0. However, unless the GPU intensive app saturates the PCIe 1.0 bandwidth, it will not run any faster in PCIe 2.0 mode. http://barefeats.com/tube12.html

MD230X3 + Sapphire Radeon HD 6970 = Will it work?
Hey
So I'm building an editing suite soon, and I recently came across a really good deal on the monitors I want so I ended up buying them. The setup is the Samsung MD230X3 (link below).
http://ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=57530&vpn=LS23MUQHB%2FZA&manufacture=Sams ung&promoid=1261
It came with a Sapphire Radeon HD 6970, so my questions are:
1) will the video card work in the mac pro system (with full support)
2) do I NEED the 6970 or can I sell it?
I am looking at getting the new Mac Pro 8 core system.
Thank you.You might find an answer by digging around here:
http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/
Before I was fortunate enough to purchase my own legitimate MacBook Pro, one might have had OSX working on his Toshiba Qosmio by installing a few modded kexts. (like I had to write my own audio kext with help from members of that community)
It'll take some tech savvy for sure, but I too have the HD6970 on my Windows desktop and it runs like a dream. I'm certain SOMEONE out there has a working kext for this card. In fact, there was a fully working HD4870 kext circulating in this community well before Apple adopted the card and wrote one. -

Sapphire Radeon HD4850 X2 2GB DDR3 VS. The Rest
Sapphire Radeon HD4850 X2 2GB DDR3 Dual DVI / TVO PCI-Express Graphics Card
Wouldnt this be just as good if not better than running dual 5800 Series?
Basically 2G Per Card. Has same stats as 4 1G DDR3 GPUS in 2 Cards.
Wouldnt this be Good or better in Crossfire than the standard 1G 5800 Series?
ThoughsIf you compare the benchmarks then the 4870 X2 compares very well with the 5770 in CF mode or 5870 as single card.
So, I would say a 5870 in CF mode would really be the ultimate barring the 5970, being basically a 5870 X2.
The power consumption of the new 5XXX series is obviously a big consideration as well, supposedly a big improvement over the previous 4XXX generation.
But do some homework on the following pages:
http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/gaming-graphics-cards-charts-2009-high-quality-update-3/benchmarks,70.html
There you can get a fair comparison on a per game and also benchmark basis. -
K8N Neo Platinum & Sapphire Radeon 9600
Okay, so this issue has been addressed in a few places, but I couldn't seem to find a definitive answer.
Is the Sapphire Radeon 9600 incompatible with the MSI K8N Neo Platinum motherboard?
Here's my story:
Just upgraded my case, motherboard and CPU (see sig for specs)
Clean install of Windows XP Pro, SP2
Installed ATI Catalyst drivers from ATI website
Reboot and Windows Device Manager shows an error with my video card. "The device cannot start (Code 10)" Now this is odd because I just pulled this video card out of my old P3 system and it worked like a charm.
Did some research on the forums, and I've tried all of the following:
Changed AGP voltage from 1.5 -> 1.6
Turned FastWrites on AND off
Installed Omega drivers instead
Used Shift-F2 & Alt-F3 in BIOS to turn off NV/ATI Speedup
Installed new Antec PSU with 21A 12V rail (which should be more than 'nuff to just power my mobo, CPU, vid card, and hard drive, which is all I plugged in to it)
All to no avail. I still have the exact same problem. Is there a fundamental incompatability issue here, or am I just doing something wrong? Any help is greatly appreciated. Specifically, if anyone has this mobo/vid card combination, I'd like to know how you set it up and what I need to tweak. Thanks!
oh, I'm running BIOS v1.4 (MSI tech support told me to upgrade to latest BIOS and it'd be okay. They lied. :-P)I managed to fix my problem:
Format C:/
Install Windows XP
Install Service Pack 1
Install motherboard drivers using MSI LiveUpdate 3
Install ATI Catalyst v.1.0.1796.585
Celebrate when your video card works properly.
Yell and cuss at Service Pack 2.
Now I usually don't subscribe to the "Microsoft sucks" school, but it does seem that in this case, they were the problem.
Anyways, it's all working now. I just hope I don't run into the "freezing in games" problem that others have posted about.
Thanks to both of you for your help. I do appreciate it. -
655max issues with Radeon 9800xt
first of all...i am kinda a newbie...i have a SiS 655max MB with a 2.4 P4 (non HT)...i was using a Radeon 7500 with no problems...all bios updates etc. just now switched to a Radeon 9800XT 256mb video card. everything works fine until i do some gaming...Halo, Uru, games that can benefit from this card. 5 mins or so into the games the pooter locks...everytime. checked for updates from MSI but i believe i have already installed them. i bought the 655max in October, all updates were dated in july. am i missing something? the demos for this card look absolutely incredible!!!! i want to keep this card!!! please help
You have to Open up your Case to find the PSU Specs......I am asking you to do this, because even though your PSU is 400Watts, I have seen Plenty of 400W PSU'S that are not worth the $5 US that it cost to make them....ie Q-TEC, Comp-USA, and even Sparkle, and not to mention those "No-Name PSU"S that come with some cases.....I have a PSU here that Came in my Buddies Case, it states that it is 420 Watts, the specs. are +12V=10Amps, +3.3V=20Amps, +5.0V=30Amps .....This PSU would have trouble with a Pentium 3 system and it actually says 420Watt P-4 Compatable PSU...Now how can it possibly power a Intel P-4, I'll let you in on a little secret..They can say "P-4 Compatable aslong as it can start a 1.3 GHZ P-4 that was made in May of 2000 ...In order to power up a Northwood P-4 2.0GHZ and Over, you need a Minimum of 12Amps on the +12V Rail..And that is just to get it to power up! not run any Programs, not to mention a vidio card and hard drive, and now this PSU that I have here (Just so I could take it apart) has less Amps then a quality PSU that is advertized at 200 Watts.....So moral of the story is...You have to open your Case to see what you Really Have .............Sean REILLY875

MSI Z77A-G45 & Sapphire Radeon HD 7850?
Hi all, I have purchased the MSI Z77A-G45 Mainboard along with a Sapphire Radeon HD 7850. I just finished my build yesterday and got windows 7 professional installed without a hitch. This was using an HDMI cable to connect my monitor directly to the mainboard. For some reason, my computer cannot detect my video card (7850). Under device manager, it shows that the display adapter is a standard VGA. I know the video card is working because I just tested it on a friend's computer and it ran perfectly with drivers installed. I looked on MSI's website for the compatibility table and saw that the 7850 was missing from the list for the G45. Does this board support the sapphire 7850? Or do I have to buy a new board? I really like this board and got it at an awesome price so I would hate to have to return it but changing the board would be a cheaper option than changing the video card (which was purchased on line). Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Sapphire Radeon 9500 still a no-go with my K7N2-L
Well, it's been awhile and I'm still getting the run around. MSI says the Radeon is bad, and Sapphire says the motherboard is bad.
Here's the short story. I have a Sapphire 9500 (black PCB) 128, x8AGP. When I install it, the system does not boot. (Check sig for system specs.) The D-led indicates a failed CPU.
The Sapphire works in other computers.
My system is currently using a Nvidia Aopen Geforce 2 64MB without a problem.
Has anyone managed to work around this?
What bios settings for the K7N2-L will work? I've increased the aperture size before switching the cards to 128, and it still doesn't work.
Is there a voltage / power problem?
Thanks..

Sapphire Radeon 9800 PRO, 256 MB using ZALMAN VGA COOLER ZM80C-HP with
Hi, I need some help...
I own a MSI 875P NEO FIS2R Mainboard and Sapphire Atlantis Radeon 9800 PRO 256 MB VGA card...
Meanwhile Sapphire released the same VGA card just like above mentioned but then equipped it with the ZALMAN Heatpipe VGA Cooler, type ZM80C-HP and called that videocard Sapphire Atlantis Radeon 9800 PRO 256 MB ULTIMATE
I know the same separate ZALMAN VGA Cooler is available in the shops here since a few days and that I can equip my 9800 PRO too with that Cooler but I really don't know if the videocard plus the zalman cooler will fit on my 875P Neo FIS2R mainboard... Cuz of the little space between the AGP slot and the Canterwood Bridge (North Bridge)... ?(
Anyone know if it's possible to do this/how to arrange this??? :(
Thanx in advance... :DIt will fit. But why replace the original heatsink? It works ok without the fan. Take a look here

HDMI Sound with Sapphire RADEON HD 5450
Hey guys, just installed Arch for my desktop computer, and I am having some troubles to get the HDMI sound to work. I have tried the xf86-video-ati driver, and I have tried to install the catalyst package from AUR, but its complaining about the catalyst-utils package even I have installed the package. So, is there anyone who have successfully gotten the sound to work with HDMI and the ATI driver? PS. I alsa have a Radeon HD 4200 on my motherboard, but are not using it.
When I use "aticonfig --initial" to generate my xorg.conf I get the following error:
(EE) Failed to load module "glx" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) Failed to load module "fglrx" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) No drivers available.
Fatal server error:

When I use "X -configure" to generate my xorg.conf, it finds the screen and the driver, but sound are not working.

The only easy way I found to make hdmi audio work and on my 4850 was with pulseaudio applet (gnome-media-pulse) and the open radeon drivers (xf86-video-ati). With catalyst I can't, even in windows. Anyway radeon driver doesn't support your card yet " http://www.x.org/wiki/RadeonFeature ".
Before this, I remember that with smplayer I could select the hdmi audio driver and it worked. -
I've got a dual 1ghz MDD and I'm looking to upgrade the video card. Since the 9800PME is likely never coming back, I'm considering a 9800XT. Evidently you can get them in the new G5s but also off of Ebay for a fairly reasonable price. I'm assured it will run in my computer but I'm worried about it needing added cooling. MDDs are famous for running hot but this card does have a fan. Is this something I should concern myself with? I want to make sure I do this right. Any advice would be super appreciated. Thanks!
lizery,
Not sure if this has been answered yet but I'd recommend looking at the 9800 still. Yes, it's a definite thing that you'd want to get a PCI slot cooler and put it right next to it, there are some good ones out there. Refer to my other post.
