Update 24" iMac Graphic chip to Nvidia 7600GT 256

Have someone updated your 24"iMac graphic card to 256mb after you bought it?
what did it cost??
just curious

"Being that is not a user upgradeable part, I'd avoid doing it until after my warranty ran out."
Yep I know! Apple service can change the graphic card without avoiding warranty
I was just curious to know how much that update would cost.

  • Upgrading your iMac Graphic Card??

    Hello,
       I have been looking around for an answer with no hope to find one for my question!!
    Why I can't update my iMac Graphic Card to something better? Why this option was not given?
       A big company like Apple should have a solution to this issue, you have to....
    Any thoughts!!

    Please tell us the year/specifications of your iMac so we can determine whether it is worth/compatible with an upgrade.
    While it is more than possible to upgrade an iMac's GPU, (people say its soldered to the mb, trust me its not as I have taken mine apart for myself).
    However most iMac users will never perform an upgrade such as this for 2 reasons:
    1: The mere process of scouring the web for a specially flashed Mobile MX A/B sized card suitable for installation.
    2: The cost, it is expensive and will most likely be more than half the price of the original cost of the unit.
    However if you really want to tinker with it, i would take a look over iFixit teardowns/guides to see if you feel comfortable enough dealing with the insides of your machine.
    I personally will be saving money for a better speced computer, rather than forking out a fortune for a minor GPU upgrade, and depending on your budget/age of your machine you should probably too.
    Thats just the way it is! Sorry

  • Compatibility with notebooks graphic chips

    Hello,
    I am about to buy a notebook. Today I had a short conversation with the local stockist and I will talk to him tomorrow again. It's also part of a company that serves a lot of the local companies with IT solutions. They work with Linux systems too.
    I said that I would not like an onboard graphic chip like the intel X4500. He said to me that they would cause less problems than the graphic chips by nvidia or ati/amd.
    Since I used Linux, which is almost 4 years now I am very active on reading blogs, forums and other articles about Linux. I rather observed quite the opposite to this. Performance wise graphic chips by nvidia and ati are ahead, even a small middle class chip that's sure.
    But that was not the main point we were talking about.
    The most important point was compatibility. He said that ati and nvidia driver cause more trouble on linux than intel.
    From what I read about it in the past is that all drivers, especially ati and intel are improving a lot. If I search different sources for experiences with intel, ati and nvidia graphic chips I find more problems with intel but that can just be a coincidence.
    But overall I think in terms of compatibility it does not matter anymore what type of graphic chip you choose.
    Can somebody maybe enlighten me a bit?
    At the moment I am considering buying the Dell Studio 15 with an ATI 5450. This Studio 15 seems to be a decent relation of price and performance considering the fact that I don't want to use it for gaming in first line.
    I hope some people can tell me a little bit more about graphic chips on linuxs.
    Thanks and Regards!

    My experience is first of all, I would not recommend ati.  I have read that ati has gotten better but I have failed to see it in action.  I have a 9250 that support was dropped for long ago and an x200 in my laptop and support was dropped for that last year.  Thanks to the open source community I have a stable arch linux running with the open source driver.  However, no open source driver will ever give you the 3d acceleration that proprietary drivers will.  I have heard good things about new intel cards.  I have never owned an intel graphics card.  I read that the drivers are stable but not capable of 3d acceleration. I am not sure of the details on this. I will note that there was a particular release of an intel driver that was completely broken.  I had to use fbdev to get X11 up on that system.  I am not sure of the driver version or card, I only know I googled the problem and it was in fact a bug.  I have an nvidia 6200le and the proprietary drivers were much easier to setup than ati and it has been very stable for 3 years.  Although the 6200le is not a newer card nvidia is still supporting cards older than mine.  Thank you Nvidia.  So, despite all the rumors and reviews, if I am looking for a performance laptop, I would not consider anything except Nvidia.  Hope that helps.

  • TS3824 How can we install the iMac Graphics Firmware Update if the screen is white and I can't get to the Apple menu?

    How can I install the iMac Graphics Firmware Update 2.0, if the screen is white and I can't get to the Apple menu?  My computer has 5 vertical purple lines against white screen at startup before the Apple logo appears and the spinning gear...then everything disappears and the screen hangs on the white screen.  I have tried unplugging and removing all my peripherals and the COMMAND, OPTION, P & R set of keys and still nothing.  I have tried COMMAND C to start up from cd and it only tells me to turn off the computer and turn it back on.  I found information on Apple's Support pages regarding the iMac Graphics Firmware Update but I am unable to download and install if I can't get to the Apple menu.  Can anyone help?

    You may have hardware problem, I think a visit to your local Apple Store or AASP is in order.

  • IMac Graphics FW Update 1.0.2 will not install

    Configuration is iMac 7,1 ATI Radeon HD 2600 graphic card and Mac OS X 10.6.1 installed. A subsequent download of iMac Graphics FW Update 1.0.2, and an installation attempt resulted in message that the firmware update was not needed on my computer. In another forum, I read that someone else with the same HW configuration and OS level also could not install this firmware. Is this firmware somehow included with Mac OS X 10.6.1 or does the firmware installer have a bug?

    Ah! The all-important detail!
    Then, I have no idea why you can't install it. I suggest downloading a clean copy manually and trying again. If you get the same issue, try a safe mode boot and installing there. Details in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564

  • Want to buy compaq presario f500 nvidia graphics chip for my laptop

    Hi,
    My compaq presario f500 laptop display not working due to over heating problem of nvidia graphics chip. I want to change it ASAP. Please suggest me from where I can buy compaq presario f500 nvidia graphics chip? and how much money should I spend for it?

    Hello @AmritanshuF500,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
    I have read your post on how you are looking to acquire a GPU for your notebook computer, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
    According to the specifications in the Maintenance and Service Guide, your notebook's GPU is soldered to the system board.

  • HP Pavilion dv2799ea special edition - NVIDIA Faulty graphics chip!

    My HP laptop has stopped working as a result of an NVIDIA faulty graphics chip. The HP Pavilion dv2799ea is now unusable unless I replace the motherboard. I am horrified to discover that lots of other models with the same problem have been granted a free replacement motherboard but my model is not on HP's list of products they are prepared to repair, therefore apparently I am not eligible for the 2 year extended warranty and repair.
    My laptop is less than 18 months old, cost £1000 and I now have to pay out £300 to have it fixed!
    This has got to be the worst experience I have have incurred from any product or company in my whole life.
    How come HP will replace other models with the same problem but not my version?
    This is apparently a known issue across the world and NVIDIA have admitted they have fitted models with this faulty chip so surely it is HPs responsibility to repair anyone's laptop that has this fault?
    I bought this expensive equipment from HP in good faith, trusting that they would supply a product that would be reliable and of excellent quality. Quality worth spending £1000 on.....What I got? A low end budget laptop version that is faulty just outside of the years warranty and an expensive repairs bill!
    I wish I had only bought a cheap one. The blow would not be so bad.
    I warn anyone out there who thinks that spending a lot of money with HP will buy you quality and durability..Think again! HP are obviously happy for their customers to be out of pocket and apparently are not concerned that customers would not buy from them again. I could now never recommend their products to anyone, their products are not worth the money and the after service is even worse!
    If anyone has any ideas as to how I could get this problem fixed without it costing me £300 I would be grateful. I cannot afford to get it repaired right now so will be without it until such time as I can get the funds together.
    When I bought this 'special edition' I did not realise at the time quite how 'special' it was going to end up being.
    I would also be interested to hear from anyone who has the same model and has experienced the same issue as myself.
    Thanks

  • Disabling the integrated graphics card or updating any software they use that will aid the computer in switching between the two graphics chips.

    So I couldn't activate Assassin's Creed 3 on bootcamp which I shuold have been able todo. I posted it on Ubistoft Support and This is what I got!
    Hello ,
    It looks like your DXDiag report is showing only an integrated graphics card. Being an Apple computer with an i7, it should have a dedicated video card as well. You may need to contact Apple support so they can help you either disable the integrated graphics card or update any software they use that will aid the computer in switching between the two graphics chips.
    So I was wondering how I could disable the intergrated grahics card or update any software that will aid the ocmputer in switching between the two graphic chips.

    The Early 2011 13-inch MacBook Pro has only got one graphic card, and this is the integrated card, Intel HD Graphics 3000.
    Some games don't support this type of GPUs, and it looks like Assassin's Creed is one of them, so unfortunately, you can't run the game in this MacBook

  • Question about imac graphics firmware updates

    My Imac model identifier is imac8,1; the machine is a 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, with 2 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.  I am running OS 10.6.7.  I have an ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro graphics card.
    Firmware Update 1.0.1 is apparently installed, since my graphics ROM version is 113-82250L-259.
    Symptoms occurring within last 6 months or so:  Without notice, the screen goes black, though I can detect light “behind” (i.e., it doesn’t look powered off). The only remedy I’ve been able to get to work is to use the power button (or unplug) to turn the machine off. I don’t know whether the system has frozen or not.  I’ve looked at the console and system log, but I can’t tell from them what’s happening.
    I have reset the SMC and PRAM.  The computer passes the extended Apple Hardware Test.
    My question: is one or both of the imac graphics firmware updates 1.0.2 (September 10, 2009) or 2.0 (June8, 2011) appropriate for my machine?

    If there is an update to your particular graphics firmware, Software Update will let you know; if there is nothing showing there, it means there is no update available for your configuration. Do not simply download from the Apple website and install something that could cause havoc on your machine.
    I'm not sure what the problem might be, but it could be graphics card and/or logic board related. Since you've already done the SMC and PRAM resets, unless someone else has another idea, I'd suggest booking an appointment at your nearest Genius Bar for a free evaluation and diagnosis. If the problem is intermittent, take screen shots or video of it so you can show it to them.

  • Intel Graphics chip question

    I've got a MBP with the i7 Processor. 15" model. I also got the upgraded 1680x1050 screen too.
    Just tonight, when I turned on my machine it powered up normally, flashed the desktop and then went to a fuzzy/snowy screen. Kinda like snow on an old television set that's not getting a signal but with no movement or flickering. I get the pointer but that's it.
    When I restart the machine connected to an external monitor via mini display port, all's fine. When I unplug the external screen it goes back to the same screen issue.
    When I restart with external monitor, then turn off the auto graphics switching option in the energy saver system preference panel, all's fine, I can unplug the monitor and use my MBP screen. I can use it with the built in nVidia chip, but not the intel. Any one else have troubles with this?
    I just updated the system with the latest software update which had a graphics thing in it, but that did not solve the problem. It seems that my intel graphics chip is dead. Any help or guidance is much appreciated.
    Brent

    It is a new Macbook Pro 15" i7. I did a complete reinstall and unfortunately my Time Machine Back up does not have before I installed Air Display. Still does it. Even with the new update.
    Also reinstalled Air Display just to try and uninstall it - no luck
    Also tried PRAM reset it stays on a blue screen after start up (Apple with spinning wheel).
    Still works with Nvida but the moment I switch to Dynamic it goes to that screen. I did a reinstall with out my applications from Time Machine...Intel works. Of course I have to rebuild everything.

  • System crashes after waking; problems with distnoted, graphics chip error

    I am running 10.3.9 on a Dual 1 GHz G4, with 1.5 GB SDRAM, a GeForce4 Ti 4600 LCD display, and a LaCie 1394 external drive. I have recently started to put my computer to sleep at night, rather than leaving it running 24 hours a day (I also installed sleepwatcher, to allow me to put my computer to sleep remotely, and anacron, to allow the nightly system maintenance jobs to continue to run). This was working fine for about a week, but for the last two days, when I woke my computer up in the morning, I got kernel panics after a few minutes. First some aspects of the display would start to get mangled (e.g. strange lines appearing, some text that I typed not showing up, icons in the dock looking speckled, etc.), then some applications would stop responding, and then a minute or so later I would get the feared kernel panic message ("You need to restart your computer" in multiple languages).
    This problem only seems to occur after the computer has been asleep for a long time (I've only experienced it after it's been asleep for 12 hours or so, and not when it's only been asleep for a few minutes). The only thing I can think of that I've changed in the last few days is an AppleScript that mounts my external LaCie drive (using "do shell script diskutil mountDisk ...") before backing up my files - using FoldersSynchronizer - then putting my computer to sleep (before I was never UNmounting this drive, so I didn't have to mount it in the AppleScript - I was still using the script to back up the files then put the computer to sleep).
    I have tried running Apple's Disk Utility (both to repair the permissions, and to repair the disk), DiskWarrior (to rebuild my startup disk), fsck, and TechTool Deluxe. None seemed to reveal any major errors except the "Surface Scan" in TechTool, which failed, presumably because of media defects in the disk (but my understanding is that fixing this would require reformatting my disk, something that I only want to do as a last resort).
    My system.log shows the following, from the time I woke my computer to the time I restarted (I've highlighted some suspicious-looking lines). It seems like the problem might either be occurring in distnoted, or with the graphics chip. Any thoughts on how I can determine the cause of the problem?

    Any thoughts on what might be causing this problem? I will continue to test the effects of changing various aspects of my configuration, but since I can only get the problem to occur once a day (after my computer has been asleep for a while), it might take me a few days or weeks to track the problem down through blind trial-and-error.

    After a little experimentation, I've managed to narrow the problem down a little, but still haven't resolved it. My computer still crashes almost every time I wake it up after a long sleep (multiple hours). Things work fine for a few minutes, but then some aspects of the display start to get mangled (e.g. strange lines appearing, text becoming distorted, etc.), then some applications start crashing and the system hangs. Sometimes I get a kernel panic, but not always - but I always need to reboot to solve the problem.
    The errors in the system log files differ from crash to crash, but the one thing that seems to be consistent is that I get a "Graphics chip error". Is this usually a hardware problem, or can it be due to a software problem? Sometimes this graphics chip error is the first error to occur, although sometimes an application will crash a few seconds before the graphics chip error is recorded in the system.log.
    In my original post, I suggested that the problem might be due to an AppleScript that mounts an external drive. I have since determined that this is NOT the cause of the problem.
    Any thoughts on what might be going on?

  • After update my imac to yosemite automatically power off ifself.pls help

    hi friends , I updated my imac (24-inch,Early 2009) to yosemite and update was ok.after update i restart imac  then it is booting and showing apple log and coming to password page then automatically power off ifself. if i start with safe mode it is working fine. can everyone help me.

    Hi.
    You are running into a problem that many users of the 24-inch, early 2009 iMac 9,1's have encountered (including me).  The Sudden Shutdown Syndrome is the scourge of many iMacs and Mac Book Pros.
    Unfortunately, I believe that the only solution is for Apple/nVidia to revisit their geForce Tesla drivers and figure out if the power management is correct.
    In your case, I'd try this:
    1)  Boot up your computer in safe mode and log into your user account.
    2)  In the Finder menu, select Go > Go to Folder...
    3)  Type: " ~/Library/Caches" (without quotes) into the box and press return.  You will be taken to the Caches folder.
    4)   Select all the files in the folder and move to the trash (do not trash the folder itself).  At this point, just leave them in the trash...don't erase them.
    5)  Go back to the Finder menu, select Go > Go to Folder...
    6)  Type: "/Library/Caches" (without quotes) into the box and press return.
    7)  Do the same thing you did in 4)  This time, though, you will be asked for an administrator's password.
    8)  Restart your computer in normal mode and attempt login.
    9)  If you can log to the desktop, you may delete your trash.
    Hopefully this will get you into your account.  If it doesn't, you may have to do a clean install of Yosemite, go back to Mavericks, or wait for an update.
    Good luck!

  • Since I've loaded Lightroom CC the programs crashes whenever I try to open the Slideshow module. I get a message that says "dynamiclinkmanager quit unexpectedly." In Preferences the "Use Graphics Processor" box is checked. The graphics card is NVIDIA GeFo

    Help!

    Here is what was cut off in title bar.  The graphics card is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M OpenGL Engine on a 2014 iMac running 10.10.3. How do I correct this?

  • Should I update my laptop graphics card or is it possible?

    Should I update my laptop graphics card or not? Is it possible to do so? Please help
    My laptop model is HP Probook 4441s

    You're very welcome.
    Your notebook has switchable graphics...an Intel UMA graphics chip which uses shared system memory, and an AMD Radeon HD 7650M graphics chip, which uses discrete graphics memory.
    The AMD GPU with its discrete graphics memory are still chips soldered and integrated on the motherboard.
    That's what it means.  You assumed it was a removable card, and it is not.
    There is no reference to a graphics card in your model on any of the official HP specifications for your notebook.

    I don't see anything there about a graphics card, do you?

  • Kernel Panic -- Graphics chip error! Restarted.

    Anyone out there seen ridiculous gfx card/kernel errors with Adobe CS2? My machine runs weird every time that I use Photoshop or Illustrator. Batches don't finish, and I have even been getting kernel panics lately. I would post it to Adobe, but kernel panics and hardware errors fall into Apple's domain. Hardware/Software/OS is fine for all but CS2, including opengl/coreimage/corevideo apps. I have a quad g5 with an nvidia 6800 GT gfx card with dual cinema displays and a wacom tablet. OSX is up-to-date, as is CS2.
    Here's a snippet from my rather scary system log for yesterday, when I was attempting to run a batch process in illustrator...my logs are peppered with graphics chip errors every time that I use CS2. Any options other than wait for a new gfx driver from Apple or keep re-running the hardware tests?
