Video display specs G5 2.7DP -- can I run two DVI monitors at once?

Greetings,
I have a G5 2.7DP
M9749LL/A
With ATI Radeon 9650 with 256MB DDR SDRAM, one single-link and one dual-link DVI port
Can I:
port 1 (DVI-D): Apple 30" cinema display, resolution 2560x1600
port 2:(DVI-S): 20" DVI display, such as older Apple Studio Display (using ADC to DVI adapter) - Resolution: 1280 x 1024
Can I run both at maximum bit-depth (at the same time) ?
I did not find any specs or discussion about using both ports at the same time.
I currently use both ports, but not with the 30" cinema display -- rather, I use only a 1280x1024 on DVI port 1, and I have a VGA 1280x1024 on port 2 (using a DVI-VGA adapter).
My goal is to run the APple 30" cinema on port 1, and the 1280x10-24 DVI on port 2.
Can I do this, and will it be happy?
Thanks,
J

Hi-
The 9650 can run up to one 30" and one 23" ACD simultaneously, both at optimal (native) resolution.

  • Can I run two 1920x1200 monitors off NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT?

    Hi.
    I have a Mac Pro 2006-2008 fitted with a NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 256MB, it has two DVI outputs.
    I'd like to attach to it two Dell U2410, 24" 1920x1200, but can't find final proof that the card will support extended desktop on two such screens.
    Thanks!

    Hi-
    Welcome to Discussions!
    Yes, the 7300 GT will support two displays at 1920 x 1200.
    It has one single link DVI and one dual link DVI
    Support for digital resolutions up to 1920 by 1200 pixels; dual-link DVI ports support up to 2560 by 1600 pixels
    Extended desktop is supported with all OEM cards.
    Dual-display support for extended desktop and video mirroring modes

  • Can I run two 2560x1440 monitors (dual link DVI) on a new Mac Pro?

    I have two Monoprice Zero-G IPS monitors, which can run at resolutions of 2560x1440 using a dual-link DVI adapter.  This is what I am currently using on my old 2008 Mac Pro.
    If i get a new model Mac Pro, could I continue this arrangement at the max resolution by using two Thunderbolt/Minidisplay port to Dual link DVI adapters (and, I assume, using two of the USB ports as I do now)?
    Frankly, I dont need the power of a new Mac Pro but my old one is long in the tooth.  I'd get a retina Macbook and use it as my desktop, but I cant think of any way to run both monitors at full resolution on the Macbook Pro.  I dont want to run them at HDMI resolution.
    Thanks in advance!

    Adapters go from $9 to $54, the latter having heat-sink which is not needed in an open cMP.
    Some support both as in either or but not two at the same time, SATA interface on the PCIe afapter, or an M.2 type
    While other PCIe "solutions" exist they are not OS independent or machine, the XP941 suffers from none of those concerns as it is bootable in all Mac Pro 1,1 thru 5,1, and is the only one for 200-7 models (and 2008 are iffy) so you can 'take it with you' if you move to a new cMP.
    Old controller, you need two SSDs in RAID0 to get 900MB/sec writes.
    Does not appear to be any of the real issues of PCIe slot and bus master, outside of you would exclude the 1x slot in the 2006 of course!
    The hardest part? getting these tiny M.2 blades, which are ~ 1" x 3.25" and have a tiny screw,  on the PCIe adapter.
    250GB SSD today are ~$120 + many do want SATA III PCIe (to get 550MB/sec and allow continued use of 4 x SATA II drive bays) runs ~$80-299. In some cases you then need a 2nd SSD. So if you want speed (vs size) then $240 + $100 and the $300 for XP941 256GB isn't bad.
    Finally, look for an Apple blade on ebay if running Yosemite - they vary, some are 2x (slow) M.2s and you want 4x but any are probably 700MB/sec and cost $400-700. No need with Apple part to worry about TRIM.
    Comparing 128GB SATA II $83 + $15 adapter vs PCIe XP941 128GB $140 + $24 is a 'toss-up' in cost but not performance, and one frees up drive bay and uses PCIe slot. (Generally 250GB are faster and better, the 128GB use to have 135MB/sec writes and $40 extras for 550MB and double storage makes sense, you never want an SSD to get down to 20% free, and you want to have 11% set aside for over-provisioning).
    So in a way you can get 1000MB/sec like nMP for $175-300 in any Mac Pro, and new faster blades are on the horizon offering 1400MB/sec.
    Kind of amazing, that M.2 support is in that old EFI all along waiting

  • Can I run two 30 inch displays ???

    My Quad (Late 2005) has a GeForce 6600 256mb video card.
    Currently I am running one 30 inch. I have hooked up a second 20 without a problem.
    Can I run two 30 displays on the same card?
    Or do I need to add a second video card to the machine??

    Of the cards originally available for the Quad, only the nVidia 4500FX could support two 30" displays.
    Your best option is to get the newly released ATi X1900 G5 edition. It will support two 30" displays and is considerably faster than the 6600 you have in there now.
    Note: This is not the same X1900XT that's on the Apple Store. That one is for the MacPro only and will not work in a G5 (even though they're both PCI-e). OWC has the G5 version for sale here: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/ATI%20Technologies/100435854/

  • Can I run two thunderbolt display monitors off of my new 27" iMac?

    Can I run two thunderbolt display monitors off of my new 27" iMac?

    Yes, the new iMac has two Thunderbolt ports. Plus Thunderbolt can be daisy chained thru external Thunderbolt drives and displays that have multiple ports.
    For more info, see >  Apple - Thunderbolt: Next-generation high-speed I/O technology.
    Although I'm not sure exactlly what Arrangement selections you will be offered in the Displays Preference, because I have not tested that setup myself...

  • Satellite P100: Can I connect two external monitor to VGA & DVI port at the same time?

    The Satellite P100 comes with two external monitor port. A VGA and a DVI. Can you have have two external monitor working at the same time? Can you have two external monitor as well as your internal display working at the same time (for a total of 3 display at the same time?
    Here is what I have confirm:
    Internal display + DVI connector display
    OR
    Internal display + VGA connector display
    Is it possible to have:
    DVI connector display + VGA connector display?
    OR
    DVI connector display + VGA connector display + Internal display?

    As far as I know this is not possible and you can use either DVI or VGA port.
    For signal output can be used only one port for external display.

    How can I run a vga monitor and projector together on my Mac Pro OSX 15"?

    You can upgrade to Snow Leopard, Lion or Mountain Lion (coming next month), but you need Snow Leopard to upgrade to Lion or Mountain Lion. Check this web to know how to add memory to your computer and the memory that it supports (probably, 3 GB).

    how can I connect two thunderbolt monitors to my macmini in windows 8 and bootcamp? Works fine in OSX

    Did you try to hook up both monitors to the Belkin adaptor? Trying will determine if your monitor has a bad input port. See if the Belkin adaptor is the problem. I have never used that specific adaptor, but I have always had luck with the Dr. Bott's DVI for ADC adaptor. Best of luck.

  • Can I run two DSL lines into my airport network?

    I have a 1.5M line from Qwest and can not get faster speed from anyoe else in my semi-rural community. Can I run two 1.5 DSL lines into one or two airport extremes and get the equivalent of a 3.0 line?

    If I have two DSL lines each connected to its own Actiontec modem with each modem connected via ethernet to its own airport extreme then it sounds like I need to have two wireless networks to take advantage of the second DSL connection. Correct? We have a lot of computers being used in the household so could put the kids on their own network.
    Apparently the airport extreme can not manage a network with two internet connections even if they are connected via separate airport extremes? I have worked at companies that have done this for internet connection redundancy purposes so there must be devices that can handle this.

  • Can i run two widgets at the same time on the same page?

    Can i run two widgets at the same time on the same page?
    Hi
    I have created and published 4 free ibooks and i would to run two widgets
    - a countdown clock
    - a review test
    at the same time on the page. Can i do that?
    Thanks in advance
    Haris

    thanks for your answer. Yes indeed HTML widgets run only full screen (snif snif). I consider this as a "distinguishing treatment".
    One solution  i read !!!!! was to create through keynote a countdown clock, to export to quicktime move and to imported at iBA predefined widgets. of course this is not the solution i need.
    So, in order to have at the same widget and run together a count down clock and a preview test (20 questions)  i must
    1)"hack" the preview widget and insert a countdown clock
    2) create a preview test using iAD.....
    thanks again

  • Can you run two separate vi's in parallel

    Can you run two seperate Vi's in parallel? Will this make response considerably slower? 
    Solved!

    Hi, what more detail is needed? They are two entirely seperate independent vi's with no shared sub vis.
    I just wanted to know if you can run two independent vi's at the same time, as in just have two seperate programs and run them.
    Separate isn't the same as independent.  That's why they wanted more information. 
    Your second question asked about slowed response.  That's another place you didn't offer anywhere near enough information for a true answer.  How many loops are you running in each of these independent VIs?  How many cores does your processor have?  Are you including a 0ms wait in your loops to avoid railing your processor?
    It's possible you'll see such a negligible change in processing that you won't notice.  It's also possible you'll feel like you're draining your system.  It's generally best to err on the side of too many details rather than too few when you're asking questions.  If you don't know the answer, you likely don't know how each piece plays a part in the answer.  More information allows others to pick out the relevant pieces and give you a better answer.

    Hi,
    yes, you can run 2 PID functions in one VI.
    No, they don't need to be in the same loop.

  • Can I run two external displays off a MacBook?

    Hi there.
    I would like to run two external 20" Acer (VGA) displays off of my MacBook. I already use one 20" in addition to my MacBook screen but would like to have two full sized screens to work off and would not need the 13" from the MacBook.
    The MacBook literature says that only a second monitor is supported but I was hoping there is a way to override the MacBook screen in a two monitor setup and port the display to the third monitor.
    Any ideas ??

    You can have two independent external displays on the workstation macs such as G4, G5 and Mac Pros but not on apple laptops to the best of my knowledge. If you look on that page it shows the Mac Pro then underneath it is the image of two montiors side by side with the shark image going across it. Lower down is a Macbook Pro with one additional monitor next to it.
    This is the text which accompanies the image:
    "With an all PCI Express architecture, Mac Pro supports a lineup of state-of-the-art graphics cards to ensure a spectacular visual experience. Every Mac Pro supports two displays — including one 30-inch Apple Cinema HD Display — and can be expanded to drive an array of up to eight displays."
    Im assuming the up to eight displays refers to the fact that you can add extra graphics cards to the Mac Pro.

  • Can I run two Dell 24" monitors with iMac 27" (5750) in portrait mode

    Hi there, want to putchase the 5750-based iMac 27", but I have a pair of Dell 24" monitors I want to run with it, preferably both in portrait mode. Is this possible? Or if not, is it possible with some sort of adaptor/external graphics card?
    Thanks kindly for any help:)
    Shawn

    HI Shawn Glibson,
    the imac has one video output. a 30 dollar adapter can be used to hook up a DVI display. (mini-display to dv adapter)
    But you can add additional displays through a USB to DVI adapter. For instance see2 xtreame uv200 http://www.trittontechnologies.com/index.php/products/usbvideotechnology/see2-xtreme-uv200/ This is a great solution if you want to have another display for websites, office documents. a USB to DVI adapter isn't that great for 3D games.
    I hope that helps
    TT
