Video Card Upgradeable and Video card drivers?????

Hello apple community. I frequently use my intel 20" imac for games by using Bootcamp (IT OWNS!!!!) to switch to Windows XP. I have been running Steam games with about 40-50 fps on all high settings except anti aliasing is set at x8 CSAA instead of the max, x16 CSAA. I know my graphics card can get more frames than x8. I blame the drivers. Where can I find good ATI drivers?
Also, I want a new video card, but is it possible to upgrade your video card on the imac? is it really soldered on to the motherboard????

Are there any news or updates to this? I'm thinking of buying the 24" iMac which sports an ATI HD 2600 Pro video card, but as AMD/ATI has revealed, they will be releasing the HD 3850 and 3870 in mobile versions soon and so I wonder if iMac will get an upgrade to these in stock or if I can do an upgrade myself after I buy it, or while I configure it in the Apple Store (or at a local Apple retailer).
I currently have a home-built PC and use it mostly for casual gaming, programming and graphical stuff (Adobe, typically). I'd love to have an iMac to do all of these things on, but the video card is currently a bit behind in terms of raw performance; otherwise the 24" iMac is a great machine. So I'd love to upgrade the video card, however it's possible (if it is), or at least get an indication of when the HD 2600 will be replaced with a HD 3870 or 3850. Does anyone know?

  • Video card drivers location?

    Hello. I have a pop up message when trying to run Firestorm virtual world client in Windows 7 (in Boot Camp on new MacBook Pro).
    It says that the 'video card drivers did not install properly'
    So i opened device manager and scrooled down the list and no 'video card' listed on menu but everything is all up to date except Other Device - Coprocessor and SM Bus Controller.
    Right clicked to update these but no fix found online :-(
    Could this be the problem though?
    Or does some windows only application not run on a Mac even in Boot Camp?
    Thanks.

    If you have a new Mac you also have Lion, or Mountain Lion. This means you do not have a disk, because there isn't one. Go back to Boot Camp, try again, the servers are notoriously erratic, be patient.

  • Mac Mini video card drivers Win 7 64 bit sp1

    I was running OSX 10.6.4 and dual booting with Vista 64 bit when Vista crashed.  I went out and purchased Win 7 64 bit SP1 OEM version.  I used bootcamp to install this sucesfully but whatever I seem to try I cannot find/install the correct driver for the graphics card in Win 7.  It still defaults to Standard VGA Graphics Adapter 1280 x 1024.
    I moved from the U.S to Thailand but forgot to bring my bootcamp disc  (Otherwise I might not even be writing this post).  I purchased a copy of Snow Lepoard 10.6.3 which has bootcamp 3.1 on it but still not the correct video card drivers.  I have also upgraded bootcamp to 3.2 and 3.3 and tried all the Win 7 updaates but to no avail.  I have tried to install manually from bootcamp on the DVD, I have read a few forums with the same issue but it tends to be a MacBook Pro and not a Mac Mini issue.  I have also instaleld Nvidia 285.38 and 285.62 drivers and both of these give me a black screen, so I know these are not the correct drivers.
    I purchased my Mac Mini in Nov of 2010 and its a model MC270LL/A.  If I look in OSX I can see my video card is the
    Nvidia Geforce 320 M
    Vendor - NVIDIA (0x10de)
    Device ID 0x08a4
    Revision ID 0x00a2
    Rom Revision 3546.
    I am not sure why this has to be so difficult but it is!  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks so much.

    There's a complicated driver issue.
    I'm also a user of Mac mini(2010, server) with windows7 x64.
    My experience is:
    The only newest nvidia driver for daily using without trouble is 267.76.
    If you want to use 27x~ 285.62/285.79,
    your primary monitor must be connected to Mac mini with miniDisplayPort-VGA adapter,
    I got the same black screen with applying HDMI port as primary.
    If you upgrade to 290.36/295.51(the latest one),
    you can prevent black screen with HDMI port,sounds good,right?
    But as long as you update to any of the newest two drivers,
    you will suffer BSOD(Blue Screen of Death, abnormally reboot, error code:0x116) during checking Windows index
    or just watching HD movies, that anything may cause GPU malfunction.
    Referece thread:http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=215256
    I still searching the solution because the HDMI 1.4a 3D supporting of my projector was begun from 285.62.
    I always got BSOD when I want to enjoy Blu-ray 3D films.

    Did you find solution to your problem ^

  • Video Card drivers

    So just to make things easier for people. Should you ever find out that you have outdated drivers and you are on BootCamp. What you should do is go to the Apple Bootcamp page and just download the latest version of it. As of 06/06/2013 the latest version is 5.0.5033. After the download just install it and all pertinent drivers will be installed thus you won't get messages like your drivers are out of date and the like.
    This may seem like trivial information to veteran MacBook users but finding this information took half a day! Spread the word around and hope you guys have an awesome one!!!

    Reference drivers are written by the manufacturer to demonstrate how to interface with their chips, often these drivers are not optimised for a particular system so may slow or not well behaved. Apple or other venders use these drivers as a blueprint to write optimised ( hopefully ) drivers.

  • Adobe Premiere Pro could not find any capable video play modules. Please update your video display drivers and start again.

    I have administrator rights to the computer. The drivers are up to date. But I am still getting the error message "Adobe Premiere Pro could not find any capable video play modules. Please update your video display drivers and start again"  when opening Premier Pro CS5.5. This appears to have happed after I upgraded to Mac OS 10.10.2.
    Anyone?
    Thanks

    Hi Stan.
    I had the same problem as you did though I am using Adobe CC.  I saw nobody replied to you so perhaps my eventual success on my later version may have applications to the error on your version. 
    Anyhow, I did all the suggestions found here (Error "Premiere Pro could not find any capable video play modules" | Startup )  first and updated my NVidea card to no avail.  Eventually what did the trick was this...
    After mucking about with the video card, I said "OK lets just have a go at Premiere itself." So I uninstalled Premiere CC and reinstalled it.  Now for some reason it didn't give me the latest patch but a slightly earlier version than the current one but lo and behold it was fine with the video card again.  I was able to get my friend's video imported and quickly edited but then was having some issues with exporting where it would hang up but I went into Adobe Media Encoder and exported it there without a care.  That task out of the way, I then went and made the update to the latest patch and it works perfectly fine - no video driver issues.
    So short of it is this - if you've updated your drivers, perhaps what you could try uninstalling and reinstalling Premiere.
    Let me know if this works.
    Cheers and good luck

  • Windows7 and video/graphics drivers

    Hi all
    I have upgraded to Win7 32bit (professional), from supplied Vista on new Portege M750-11r. I cant run things like second life as it says the video card drivers are out of date or unsupported.
    When I check the display details it seem to just have a generic pnp with a Microsoft driver from 2006 (6.1.7600.16385). Location on Mobile Intel(R) 45 Express Chipset Family (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM 1.1).
    I did an update driver, but it came back as ok.
    Can anyone advise what driver I should be looking for, especially as this is a touch tablet, and that currently works and I do not want to interfere with those capabilities?
    Many thanks

  • Windows 7 Ultimate and dv9925nr Wireless card drivers.

    Forum,
    I have the HP dv9925nr laptop with AMD x64 dual core processors. I've upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit and when I recieved and my Wireless card is nolonger working. The system does not even recognise the card being there. How do I get it back and where are the proper drivers for this operating system? It's been a year and no new drivers have been posted as of yet.
    Also, when trying to launch any application link from a Windows 7 window, I recieve no action. Nothing happens! What's this all about?
    Anyway, I need help quick! This causing all sorts of problems for my machine.
    Thanks,

    Can you check in device manager, under network adapters if the wireless card is listed?

  • Nvidia GeForce 7300 GT Card Drivers

    I was just on the Nvidia site looking to see whether or not there was a new driver for my GeForce 7300 GT card. I've had my Mac Pro for a year now, and wasn't sure if Software Update included non-Apple stuff like updated video card drivers. Long story short, I was surprised to see such a non-Apple friendly site. There was virtually nothing there to help me at all. That being the case, I wonder why Apple would even do business with Nvidia. Furthermore, is it even possible to update the driver on my card?
    Carl

    The drivers are Apple and included with OS X updates and graphics updates, not from Nvidia (though Nvidia would IF they sold a retail Apple EFI compatible card, Nvidia provides basics and Apple customizes them for OS X).

    fmurry925, unfortunately, the "normal" way of updating video drivers doesn't apply to Boot Camp installations. For some reason, Apple uses a slightly customized video chip in MBP (ie mine is an nVidia 320M, which doesn't exist in any non-Apple computer. Well, there's one.)
    This means that the standard nVidia driver set doesn't recognize this chip. And I suspect it's the same for your computer. So you're stuck with using the drivers available from Apple, which are updated much less frequently than the generic drivers.
    There are workarounds for this, consisting of "modding" your INF to allow the generic drivers to work for you. But I did some searching, and it seems that your particular chip, which is "switchable" between the Radeon and the Intel graphics, doesn't have a modded INF available. Yet. So, unless someone else knows of a solution, you might be stuck with the Apple-supplied drivers for a while.

  • How to correctly update video chip drivers

    You realize this has been asked 100s of times, right?
    Don't use Auto-detect. Download the driver. Unzip. Uninstall Apple gpu driver. Run Driver Sweeper 3.x maybe.
    You may be able to install. If not, use Device Manager to update and find the driver you unzipped.

  • Airport Card drivers missing WIndows XP professionnal 32bit bootcamp

    Hi, I'm employee in a Apple Official resseller store and a customer bought an Imac 21.5 Late 2009 (duo 3.06) and he asked us to install Windows XP professionnal 32 bit (he got his license) on bootcamp. Everything went good, the installation worked perfectly, but when I installed the drivers with the Snow leopard Install disc, the Airport card driver and the Video Composite (VGA) driver didn't installed. we tried everything, we did all the updates possible but still nothing.
    Windows in on SP 2 and even by ethernet I can't install the SP 3 (a osloagon.dll error) but the minimum required is SP 2.
    I even tried on windows to open the CD and installed every drivers one by one but still nothing.
    So I wonder if you guys know where I can find the Drivers. I really don't know what to do, I'm out of options.
    thanks

    Thanks for the info Stefan,
    However, I don't think that the Macintosh driver CD will do me any good in this case because I am not planning on running the 32 bit version of Windows XP. I will be installing XP64 tomorrow once my CD arrives in the mail.
    I've heard of quite a few people who are currently running XP64 on their Mac Pro's, but I'm also pretty sure that the driver CD created by Boot Camp will only work in Windows XP 32-bit.
    If ANYONE knows of a work around for installing macintosh drivers for my super drive and airport extreme, PLEASE let me know, because I will most certainly need to be able to use my wireless card and keyboard (especially for the CD tray)
    Thanks,
    Greg

  • Graphics card drivers problem with star craft 2!!!! ah!

    I have a problem with my new laptop (a Compaq Presario CQ62z-200cto) that I bought for star craft II and I was hoping you guys could help.
    This is my computer’s stats. They surpass the recommended settings for Star craft 2 by a little bit.
    2.8 ghz phenom dual core
    2gs ddr3 ram
    Ati radeon mobility hd 545v (yes, this card is better than the recommend 3870)
    When I first turned on star craft it said:
    “Your video card drivers are out of date” and “Starcraft II does not recognize your graphics card”
    In addition to this Starcraft II runs relatively poorly. I’m not sure how well it’s supposed to run, but it’s a  laggy even on low-ish settings. I tried to get new drivers from ATI, but they said that if you have a laptop you should get drivers from the manufacturers, not ATI (because HP makes the specific drivers for the computer). ATI supposedly only has “generic” drivers for laptops or something like that. So ,I have to get the latest drivers from hp, which I already have (they were made in April…shesh).
    So, I’m stumped it seems like the drivers are holding me back even though I have the hardware for the job, but the drivers I need don’t exist.
    Any ideas? Anyone else have this problem?
    Thanks,
    Tim

    The "graphics card" on an iMac is built into the motherboard. Therefore the only updates would be through an Apple firmware update.

  • Problems installing nVidia WDM video capture drivers

    I have a  MSI MS-StarForce GeForce4 Ti 4600 (NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4600) video card installed on my computer and I can't seem to figure out why when I try to install the WDM video capture drivers - I always get the same error message "This device cannot start. (Code 10)" Can someone...anyone please explain to me what code 10 means and why I'm having this problem?  My OS is Windows XP Pro.
    I would be so appreciative for some support of any kind
    Thanks

    Funny you should ask about the Vivo connector...When I originally purchased the card, Upon arriving home,  I opened the box and after reading the manual for a few minutes- I noticed I didn’t see the TV out Video 4 in one connector that the manual said should be in the box.  I unpacked the box completely and searched my house entirely and there was no 4 in 1 connector.  Well….having purchased more than my fair share of peripherals from Fry’s Electronics, I already knew that I had more than likely purchased unknowingly a previously opened box and then repackaged to look new except with one flaw….a missing video connector.  The following day, I attempted to get Fry’s to claim some type of liability and after a heated discussion with the manager - I ended up leaving Fry’s without a new un-opened box or a replacement for the connector that had been missing.
    Then months later I was on the PC Club’s website and came upon a Vivo connector that I thought might work with my card.  I ordered it and two months later! Literally! It arrived. (That’s another horror story!!!) The Vivo video in/out connector arrived and to my disappointment, didn’t work with my card.
    So to make a long story short (TOO LATE!)  No the card doesn’t work with a Vivo connector but rather a MSI named TV in/out 4 in 1 connector.  But since I don’t have it anyway, my plan is to try capturing video with an S video cable and give that a whirl!

    Just an update- I have now downloaded the software you have suggested and plan un- installing and then re-installing the drivers you had recommended  I'll let you know
    Thanks again for all you're input.

  • Video Display Drivers

    I own an older model laptop - Dell Vostro 1700. When I upgraded to Windows 8.1 from my true and trusted XP platform, I also upgraded from 32 bit to 64 bit. Today, when I tried to launch my Adobe Premiere Pro, I got the following error message:
    Adobe Premiere Pro could not find any capable video play modules
    Please update your video display drivers and start again
    A cursory look through the Dell support site shows that there are no 64 bit drivers for the Vostro 1700, nor any that are really designed for Windows 8.1. Can anyone help me so I can start using this amazing piece of software (yes, I did complete the tutorial)?
    Thank you in advance,

    What version of Premiere Pro do you have on your Windows 8.1 64 bit? What video card does your computer have?
    Put those answers on hold until you get to the Premiere Pro Forum where Premiere Pro users can give you some insights on the matter from the Premiere Pro perspective.
    We are Premiere Elements users here.
