Six Spare Monitors...MacPro Video Card Advice?

Greetings,
I have six spare monitors (Dell 19" 4ea and Dell 24" 2ea) leftover from a PC and I would like to get some advice on MacPro video cards to conncect all six monitors to a single machine. When I had my PC, I purchased a single eVGA 9500 (two DVI video ports built-in) and two eVGA PCI cards (2 video ports each for four ports). Once installed, these cards worked flawlessly with the six monitors under Windows Vista and the Aero interface. The 9500 was $99.00 and the PCI video cards were around $50 each.
I currently have a late 2009 iMac i7 with an external display, but I find having two screens is somewhat limiting since I had six with my PC. I've enabled Spaces in Snow Leopard, but all the screen flipping gets on my nerves. I miss being able to dedicate a monitor to email, another to iTunes, another to the Calendar, another for web browsing, etc.
Unlike Wintel PCs, the selection of video cards seems to be limited and specialized for MacPros.
How would someone go about adding video cards to a MacPro to drive six monitors?
I've read that the older MacPro video cards aren't very good. My late 2009 iMac i7 has a Radeon 4850, and I've never had a single problem with it, so I would probably want something similar in my MacPro if that is possible.
I'm considering buying a used MacPro off eBay in the $1,000 to $1,500 price range. I'm planning on using the machine the same way I'm using my iMac today which consists of basic photo editing with iPhoto & Aperture and light video editing with iMovie.
Thank you,
Derrick

there is a similar discussion over here;

where these two pages are mentioned;

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3477
but you can add another (or more) card in a mac pro for more monitors.
yes, the choice in cards is limited.
some PC cards can be flashed, but with no garantees.
then there is USB, where you can add up to 4 monitors;

im using the owc one at the moment, it works fine.
there is also this discussion;

imagine, you hook up 6 monitors, activate 12 'spaces', that makes for 72 workspaces. Now youre cooking!

24" 2008 iMac with busted video card, advice needed.

I have a 2008 24" iMac in which the video card is busted. The machine will turn on, get to the log in screen with no issues, however there is absolutely no video output to the screen.
I have attempted connecting it to an external monitor using mini DVI to VGA and a VGA cable, but the machine is not set to display to an external monitor.
Having the video card replaced will cost in the region of €300, an amount I'm reluctant to spend on a machine which is seven years old.
I have it backed up, so I'm really looking for advice to to how to wipe it so I can sell it on for parts, or other suggestions...

Your welcome, your new iMac likely does not have a Firewire port so you will need a Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter like:

I noticed several available on E-Bay however where you decide to get one is totally up to you.

Cintiqs, Monitors, and Video card problems.

Hi all,
Alright so first of all. I have a 2008 MacPro 3,1 QuadCore.
I'm an animator so I have a duel monitor setup. They're both pretty crappy but run really nicely with my graphics card. I currently have just one ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB video card. It has three outputs, two mini display ports and one DVI-I port. So I always have an extra output.
Alright now that I've set the scene, one MacPro, two monitors. Enter one Cintiq. I finally pulled the trigger on getting a Cintiq. I know! Its awesome, I love it.
It works great I couldn't ask more from the machine.
Just one problem. Even though I have three video outputs, I'm not able to connect all three (2 monitors 1 cinitq) all at once. Its super annoying to have to swith out the cords everytime I want to do anything with the cintiq. I've had 3 monitors plugged in at the same time so I know its not a faulty card.
I would love to be able to have my cinitq and the other 2 monitors all running at once. From what I've read online it looks like I'll have to get a second graphics card that I can connect the cintiq into.
Any recomendations on a new card? is there any way I can avoid paying the extra $150 for a new one?
Another thought on that. Is it even possible to connect two different types of video cards into the same machine? I'm assuming its just by brand so the drivers don't get mixed up?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
-Dann

No need for a different video card, just some different plumbing.
In order to get all three ports going, you need active adapters on the mini display ports. The Apple part most of us have is passive.
I was having the same problem you discribe except my "CinTiq" was a HD color grading monitor for my post-production work. I got a pair of these: Accell B087B-006B UltraAV Mini DisplayPort to DVI-D Single-Link Active Adapter ATI Certified (Black) and my problems were over.
Your CinTiq may have additional requirements, so check it all out, but I think this'll get the job done.
good luck

Aperture Dual monitors, what video card for AGP?

I am running two 20 inch apple monitors with the stock ATY 128 mb card. I am going to be upgrading the card soon because the system is so slow. I know that I am limited because this system can only use AGP cards.
What is the best AGP card available?
Also, will I notice a huge difference if I add even more ram?
powermac g5 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

That is probably enough RAM, if you aren't also running with Photoshop running all the time.
You should open Activity Monitor and keep an eye on the page outs under memory. If that number is growing rapidly, then you need more RAM. Otherwise, you don't.
The video card will make a very large difference -- if you can actually find it.

Dual 30" monitors - - best video card?

I’m a PC user - - please don’t throw rocks (or apples) at me - - and I want to replace my present dual 19” monitors with two Apple 30” ACDs - - side by side for a 5120x1600 desktop. My Windows box will accept a PCI-e x16 video card.
I’ve been considering either the nVidia Quadro FX 3500 or the ATI FireGL V7200.
Doe anybody have experience with either or both of these cards? Any suggestions as to other cards which will support two monitors that each require a dual-link DVI port?
Thanks,
-Nick

it would seem to me that the obvious answer is one of the new NVidia 8800GTX cards. DX10 support, Open GL2.0, HDCP, some even have out of the box water cooling fittings if you need a cool / silent machine.
the cards you mentined are workstation class cards, which do have driver support for certain applications, but my take on workstation class cards is that they do not necessarily have the power of the new gaming cards (gaming is NVidia and ATI's focus, because of demand) and are much more expensive. I think that the driver support that is enjoyed with CAD/CAM products is opposite with general purpose software.
with the cost of the 8800GTX, it is almost a free experiment given the cost of FX cards to see if it works for you. my one suspicion is the immature drivers currently available for 8800 cards. that should be resolved pretty quickly, however.

Need compatible video card advice

I've got an msi 865pe neo fisr2 mobo. ati radeon 9700 pro has problems and is not compatible with my board. so, what from nvidia will be fully 100% compatible and compare in performance to the ati radeon 9700 pro or be slightly better? I'm thinking for price, $150-$200 at most.

I know it is not compatible cus i tried a GF 3 card with no issues. my brother in law has the same mobo and same card yet had the same problems. so that is incompatible. his card works fine on his older pc with different mobo, same for me. so i bought an nvidia card from leadtek. i dont trust ati and might not ever.
back when i first got the system built, i had the same problems. just i wasn't as upset because it was new. after time the same issues started getting on my nerves. i never not had issues. i always have, just at first it didn't bother me as much cus it was new, then after it got old i was poed at the issue. my brother in law same issues, got a new card for his pc and no problems. i tried an nvidia from my own pc and no problems. so the problem is the ati 9700 pro is not compatible with my motherboard nor my brother in laws. and my card is under warranty, it's already sent back to zipzoomfly, but since they have to wait 6 weeks or so from the date i sent it to them and will not exchange and i pay the difference on a new card or something, i am without a video card in this pc. they had to send back to ati, wait for ati to send them the thing, then send me the card. they said 2-3 weeks 3 weeks ago, and now tell me another 2 weeks or so. screw them. but i can't wait this long, so i got a new card, should be here tomorrow, will never open the radeon 9700 pro once i get it back and i will just sell it. also i know for fact this is fact cus an ati rep said this as well as someone else on these forums long time ago. with cerain radeon 9700 pro, it was not compatible and never would work reliably.
the problems are that the monitor would go black, the pc running still, frozen totally. had to reset the pc with the reset button on the case. also some other issues as well. reinstalling windows never fixed it, drivers never fixed it, only fix was a diff card. same issues on my brother in laws pc.

Why can't I download an HD movie even when my monitor and video card both support HD?

This is royally !@#$%ing me off. I've spent the past hour and a half of my free time trying to download Prometheus (HD), and iTunes won't let me download the HD version, and keeps downloading the SD version when my computer clearly supports HD. My perception of Apple is quickly diminishing. First their stock goes down, and now the stuff that I actually use doesn't work...

How to change IP address if no video card??

I have an Xserve running Tiger with an assigned (static) IP address set in System Preferences. I just moved it from one company to another, so of course the static IP isn't right anymore because now it's on a different network with different numbers. I have a problem changing it in System Preferences though, because it has no monitor - the video card was replaced with a fiberchannel card for the XRaid. I used to run it headless and interact with it via VNC (remotely), but now that its IP address won't let it on our network, I can't reach it via VNC to change the IP. A chicken-and-egg problem - I need to VNC in to change the IP and I can't do it until the IP is correct... Anyone have any ideas - how do I get to the System Preferences and change it to DHCP or a correct static IP?
Mike

Connect on the LOM if you have one (Intel Xserve) and if the LOM is configured, or connect on the 9-pin serial line and use bash shell to make the changes or (probably the easiest approach here) set up a completely private and completely isolated LAN with the existing (and wrong) IP addresses (do not connect this LAN to anything other than your client (give it a static "wrong" IP address in the same subnet as the Xserve and its "wrong" address) and your Xserve and your unmanaged network switch) and connect into the Xserve on the existing IP address using your familiar techniques and tools. Once the name is changed, you can set your IP addresses back to what is necessary.

Need advice on video card

I just received my new MacPro 2x2,8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon with two 500 Gbyte drives inside. I accidentally ordered four (4) ATI Radeon HD 2600 (256 Mbyte) videocards (stupid me - I thought "4xATI Radeon..." in the configuration meant that the card was 4 times more powerful than the cheapest card in the list...
So now I need to figure out what to do with the three extra cards I don't need. If Apple is not willing to take them back, I may sell them at ebay. What should I expect to get for a card like this?
I see that the ATI Radeon HD 2600 card is not the ultimate video card for the Mac... So I have started to wonder if I should have picked the more expensive card NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512MB. I have read some opinions about the difference between these cards, but it seems that all the reviewers are gamers. - What I will be using the card for, is to run FinalCutPro, Motion and ArtMaticPro/Voyager to create HD video and animations.
With the configuration I have now, I can't play back 1280x720 HD in Animation (almost no compression). I wonder if this is normal, or do I need a faster video card than the ATI Radeon? I ordered the Mac with 2 Gbyte RAM, and I am waiting for additional 4 Gbyte to arrive soon (from a retail store - that saved me at least 250 USD compared to ordering this much RAM from the Apple Store
Any thoughts and advice is very much welcome!

Hi,
If I could use one of these to drive a second VGA CRT on my computer (same model as yours),
I might be willing to buy one of them.
I now know that I cannot use the same displays setup I had with my G4 with the new MacPro.
Would love to know if simply adding a video card would solve my problem.
My very old Apple CRT 15" monitor that I bough NIB about 2 years ago (and works great) doesn't play nice in a 2 monitor from 1 ATi Radeon 2600HD setup.
I am wondering if adding a second card will solve the problem.
Thanks, and so long for now, TOM

Video card to run 2nd and 3rd monitors cs5.5

Hello all,
I have a powerful system with multiple hard drives that I use to cut HD DSLR footage on in CS5.5. My GTX 570 runs my 1st monitor and my 9600GT runs the 2nd and 3rd monitors with great success.
1st monitor = timeline
2nd = bins
3rd = full screen preview (Highest quality preview)
The reason I use the gtx 570 to run only the first monitor is because it idles much higher and hotter connected to two monitors. (Disables the down clocking feature on the card when connected to multiple displays).
Well the 9600gt has died.
I don't want to spend alot of money here but I am not sure what video card I require for my 2nd and 3rd monitors. Keep in mind the 3rd monitor is the full screen preview.
I know premiere pro uses my 570gtx for the MPE but I have no idea how this effects (if it does at all) my 3rd preview monitor since I have had it plugged into my 9600gt.
There for I am not sure if I can get away with a cheap card like a $50.00 Nvidia GT 610 or do I need something at least equal or greater then my old 9600gt?
Thanks!,
Kieran

Thank you for the reply Harm. I have an x79 board with a 3930k @ 4.6ghz.
I will take that advice on board.. I might have to fork out a bit of extra money. Shame I only purchased the 570 gtx a couple of months ago!

New MACpro Configuration - Video Cards

hello,
i am trying to configure my macPro online, my question is about the VideoCards, is it better to have 4x the Nvidia Card on the ATI with 512 MB??
I am mainly using Apeture, After effects,Motion and PS.
What should i do?
Thank you

the only main reason to have more than 1 video card is if you need to hook up more than 2 monitors.
there is a minority of users that know how to and can utilize two of the 7300 in SLI while running Windows in Bootcamp, but the performance of the SLI'd 7300 is much much less than the single ATI X1900.
the X1900 is much more powerful than the 7300, so if you are going to do a lot of work in Apeture and Motion, and you aren't going to use 3 or more monitors, then the right choice for you is the ATI X1900 hands down.
If you were only the occassional Aperture / Motion user, then you would not see a day to day difference between the 7300 and the X1900, as the faster card really only shows its muscle with certain tasks, it does not help while performing more mundane duties.

MacPro 1,1 Video card died ! Options ?

Hey all, I'm having some problems with my MacPro and I'm suspecting the video card at this point.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2558303&tstart=0
I was looking at the Apple store website and see only 2 listed in my price range, the NVIDIA GeForce GT 120, and the ATI Radeon HD 5770.
Will both these cards work in a MacPro 1,1 (2006 model) I've done a search but have found conflicting information. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
- Jay

DP Art is right I expect and the table appearing on this page that compares the 5770 and the 5870 presents it in "black and white":
http://www.apple.com/macpro/features/graphics.html
I've got a 4870 card on backorder ($349) with Apple and am seriously considering forking out another $100 to get the 5870, if reports continue to be positive about the use of the 5870 in a Mac Pro 1,1.
I've been on an upgrade path the last few months to help my MP Xeon give me a few more good years doing design work in CS apps. (New hard drives, SL upgrade, new NEC PA241W monitor, soon the card and then more RAM.) Seems wise to go for the best I can get with the card - hoping the 5870 reports continue to confirm I can. Need to decide before Apple ships the 4870 to me.
If anyone that is now reading my post in this designers' thread possesses new info on the wisdom of my thinking, please comment. Thanks!

Cheapest video card for dual monitors on a G4 Sawtooth

Hi guys,
What would be my cheapest alternative to get a dual monitor (extended desktop) environnement with my G4 Sawtooth. This is an AGP G4.
Can I get a cheap video card with one outlet and then plus each monitor in one card (ie: 1 in the new card and 1 in the old one) ?
Or do I need to buy a card that supports 2 monitors?
I would like to spend as little as possible. I currently have the ATI 16 mb card that came with the system and I run both OS 9.2.2 and OS 10.3.9
Thans for your advice,
xenakis

Yesterday I installed a nVidia GeForce4 MX AGP out of a 2002 Quicksilver tower into my own AGP Sawtooth.
It has VGA and ADC connections and can apparently support two monitors at the same time.
My second vidio card is a MPDD card, but I may pull that now that I have a dual-monitor card. Sonnet sells something similar. They have blue & yellow connectors. These things are not high performance but they are OK to use with just about every monitor on the planet and any MacOS from 7.1 to 10.5 and beyond.
Cheap on eBay. Probably you could be even cheaper and pick up a 16-meg PCI card out of a B&W G3 tower.

Multiple Video Cards for 3 Monitor Display

I'm in the process of creating a large multiscreen presentation (3 screens). I need an application (will probably be authored in Director or Flash) to span all three screens. Each screen will have a resolution of 1280 x 720. I am looking into what the best solution is for this.
One Quad head card?
Two video cards, one dual head, one normal?
Three video cards?
I've heard with PCs that if you have multiple video cards, you can't run a fullscreen application across video cards. Does the same hold true for Macs?
Any suggestions?

I'm having a hard time figuring this out. It seems as though people on this forum have been playing games across all three monitors. However, I just went to the big glass Mac store in NYC and asked a few people at the "genius bar." The guy I talked to was very skeptical of running a fullscreen application across video cards. Another guy I talked to said it was application dependent. They had no MacPros with dual head cards, so I couldn't check its settings.
If anyone can out genius the genius bar and give me a solid answer, I'd be greatly indebted. I'd like to get an answer before spending 5 grand on a system.

I like the ATI 4890
make sure you have 2 slots open since it wide.
And it has: OpenGL 3.0 support
One more space to get that hot air out.
Also:
500 Watt or greater power supply with two 75W 6-pin PCI Express® power connectors recommended (600 Watt and four 6-pin connectors for ATI CrossFireX™ technology in dual mode)
make sure you have 2 power connectors to run the dual monitors:
