I have tried two different video cards to up grade my pc, First was a Radeon 7790 that just gave me total blue screen at start up..Up graded all the drivers still no luck, took that card back and purchased a Geforce gtx 750...This one takes me to the blue start up screen and one beep from the mother board , I would appreciate any help or suggestions

Best low buck video upgrade for Digital Audio

I just purchases a Digital Audio G4/733 with the original GeForce 2 AGP video card. If I want a better video card for online games (for my kids), what would be some good choices (for no more than $50- $60 used- don't mind eBay).
How would a used GeForce 4 or Radeon 7500 stack up against the GeForce 2? I'd like ot try to avoid flashing a PC card if possible (unless someone else already has done it and tested it in a Mac).
Alternatively I have waht I think is a GeForce 6200 lying around that I couldn't get to work in my PC. Since I have nothing to lose with this card- has anyone flashed one of these to Mac and used with 4X AGP?
Thankd, Steve

As a co-author of 6200 ROM I can speak highly of the cards, but they aren't really in same league as 9800.
Core Image is a great thing, frees up CPU from drawing much of desktop & goings on there.
8500 was good in it's day but is leaving your CPU doing work that a 9800 would be more than happy to do.
Flashing a 9800 can be done in a Mac provided you have a PCI card to "see" from.
PC versions sell for as little as $15 on EBay and using the reduced 9800 ROM from STrangedogs / Macelite you have a guaranteed card. Just be sure to get a PC 9800 that matches the standard image of a 9800 Pro. (128 Megs RAM on a 256 bit bus, red card with 60's looking silver fan)
The 6200 is an IDEAL card for Cube.

VIdeo Upgrade for Omni 200-5280qd

I've got an Omni 200-5280qd, which apparently uses the Quanta ZN2 (Matadi) mothboard, which has an MXM3.0 video card slot on it. When I purchased this machine back in 2009, I specced it with the Geforce GT230 Video Card option. I would like to continue using this machine for at least another year or so, if not longer, so what are my upgrade options.

Here are the specs for your HP Omni 200-5320a Desktop Computer. While you may be able to change the graphics card in your AIO computer, it doesn't use a standard card like in a desktop. Your computer is more like a notebook computer than a desktop. Changing the graphics card will be time consuming and expensive. You should be able to source an upgrade through HP.

New video card for HP Pavillion Elite HPE-170t

Hi, I'm starting to get some screen artifacts sporadically, Ithink my video card is starting to go bad. i want to get a new one, but I am not sure what will fit. My computer HP Pavillion Elite HPE-170t:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-860 quad-core processor [2.8GHz, 1MB L2 + 8MB shared L3 cache]
8GB DDR3-1333MHz SDRAM
1TB 7200 rpm SATA 3Gb/s hard drive
1GB ATI Radeon HD 4850 [2 DVI, HDMI and VGA adapters]
Lightscribe SuperMulti DVD burner
15-in-1 memory card reader, 1 USB, 1394, audio
No TV Tuner
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium
I see by some other questions here several video cards suggested, but those replies were a few years old and those video cards are no longer available.
So, any suggestions on newer video cards under $200 that will pretty much fit and work as easily as possible? Thanks!

Thanks for the quick reply. I don't have another monitor to try, but the artifacts seem to sometimes move along with the mouse cursor. Sometimes I can scrill the artifacts away, other times the screen freezes.
I do have room for a double width card, but I was looking at the XFX R7 250E 800MHz 1GB DDR5 DP HDMI DVI Graphics Card, which seems to be a newer model of the XFX AMD Radeon HD 7750 1GB GDDR5 . Both are single wide and don't need an extra power connection.

Video Upgrade for my P7-1380t

Hello,
I just purchased a P7-1380t and there wasnt an option to upgrade my video card.
I was wondering which video card ( DIRECTX.11) will work in this rig ?
PCIe 2.0x16
EXPERTS ?
Thank You,
Joe

JoeGanna,
As stated in my previous post "Additionally, most PCIe x16 v2.1 and v3.0 graphics cards shoulld work in your system as well."
That is to say, PCIe v2.1 x16 and PCIe v3.0 x16 cards should also work in your computer. If you wish to future proof, go with a PCIe x16 v3.0 card. If you don't care and want to spend less at this time, go with a PCIe x16 v2.0 card.
Please send KUDOs

Video upgrade for DV7 4087cl laptop?

Hi guys, please someone could tell me if it's possible to upgrade the video for my DV7 4087cl laptop?
Currently it has an ATI Mobility HD 5000 Series and an Intel integrated... it's possible to choose wich one to use according to the need.
So I want to upgrade from my i5 processor to an i7 quad and I'd like to know if I can put a video card in it.
Thank you for the help!
Fabio

Hi Fabio,
See Page 98 of your Maintenance & Service Guide for a list of compatible processors.
Sorry to say, but it's not really practical to change your video adapter - your existing Intel chip physically soldered to the Motherboard and as such, is not an upgradeable component.

Video Upgrade for Pavilion a430n

I'd like to upgrade the video card in my Pavilion a430n but I don't know if it would make sense to do it. A friend of mine said that you can't put mag wheels on an Escort and expect it to go any faster.
I did install a Nvidia Geforce 6200 card some time ago which works okay for most things. I'm an avid adventure gamer and according to a game I installed recently, I have "low end hardware". I don't have any PCI express slots so the card would have to be PCI and those are hard to find.
So what's the best graphics card that I could get that would be compatible with my computer?

Hi,
If you are an avid gamer then it's time for a replacement PC.
HP has some very good PCs for gaming depending how you configure the PC and are willing to spend.

Video Upgrade for Dual-Drive G4?

Hey Mac Gurus,
I have a 2001 Quicksilver upgraded with a 1.467 "Mercury Extreme" processor. The G4 also has a "GeForce2 TwinView" card, and two hard drives - one runs 0S9 and the other OSX.
I'd like to upgrade to the fastest video card that can function in both OS9 and OSX on a Quicksilver.
Thanks for your ideas!

Video tutorials for apple remote desktop 3?

On apple's website http://www.apple.com/support/remotedesktop/ when I click to video tutorial "easy set up" it takes me to products page. Can someone tell apple to fix their website. The manual for remote desktop is daunting so I was hoping to get a video of the basics. THanks, matt

Thank you for your reply... I resolved this issue about 5 minutes before I saw your response. When I had installed ARD3, ARD2.2 remained installed rather than being overwritten as I expected. When I started ARD, it was ARD2 that actually started and it did require lower case serial number. I removed all ARD instances, reinstalled and it took the correct SN. Dumb Technician error. Thank you.

Video Upgrade for G5

Hi,
I finally have Aperture up and running to how I think the program should behave. However, I am finding at times, that Aperture lags quite a bit. From what I have read, this seems to be related to the video card. I am currently using a Dual Core G5, 1GB ram, and the Nvidea 6600. Are there any upgrade cards available for this machine, as I specifically purchased it to run Aperture?
Thanks
Glenn

go to www.welovemacs.com. i was able to purchase the nvidia gt 7800. this is the exact card that apple offers as part of their upgrade. it's expensive..over $700 but trust me, it works fine. **** with the warranty. if i have to take the computer in for service i'll put the old card back in. and i also agree with you, apple didn't help out at all. they really ticked me off for sure. i find that folks in this forum know a **** of a lot more than any apple procare or apple store. at the stores the idiot mac genius's (idiots) are arrogant kids only trying to push a product. and the icare... should be called i don't care....even with a stinking schematic of the mother board in hand couldn't figure out what i did on my own. trust me... welovemacs.com is great. i had the card in a couple days and aperture was twice as fast with the images viewing on the screen.

HP a6303w available video upgrade?

I was wondering if there may be an available video card upgrade for my a6303w desktop. The unit is still factory without any form of upgrades to it. However, I do use it to play World of Warcraft and it has served well since purchasing it in February 2008. With the new expansion coming out and hearing that there will be increased video required I am uncertain if the factory video will be able to support it and wanted to see if there was an available video card upgrade for the unit? As it is now within the game my video settings are set to the absolute lowest and I experience lag often in high action environments. Any help would be appreciated thanks.

PM, the computer has a PCI Express x16 slot. This is the type of video card that you should purchase. However, to use a video card that will fill your needs, it will most likely be necessary to upgrade the power supply unit (PSU), as well. The PSU in the computer is only 250W. Most newer mid-level video cards require at least 400W to operate properly. I like OCZ and Corsair for PSU's. They make reasonably priced enthusiast/gamer PSU's. Also, I like XFX, BFG, EVGA, Sapphire and PNY video cards in that order.
If you would like recommendations, please let me know.

Upgrade Video Card for HP Pavilion a6228x Desktop PC

I'm wanting to upgrade the video card and was wondering if there were any suggestions as to a good card for under $60. I just need something equivalient to "NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GT or ATI Radeon X1950 Pro" or better. I just got Star Wars the Old Republic and my factory istalled graphics card is not powerful enough. I'm a bit confused on what type of graphics card my desktop takes. I did read that it has
PCI Two (One available) PCI Express x16 One (One available) PCI Express x1 One (One available)
Would a PCI Express 2.0 fit in one of these?
One of the cards I am considering is:

Any suggestions would be great. Thank you.

Hi,
You might want to google Stars Wars Old Republic system requirements and see what others are suggesting. Game performance is also tied to the game quality settings and monitor resolution that you want to use.

Upgrade video card for Late 2005 PowerMac G5

I am looking for an upgrade video card for a Late 2005 PowerMac G5, which has the PCI-Express slots. I need at least 256 MB of VRAM.
Since this computer is a discontinued model, there doesn't seem to be too many options for video cards. I've seen some cards like the NVidia 6600 or 6800, or even ATI's X800, but they appear to be difficult to find.
The one card that is readily available still is the ATI X1900, which looks great, but a little on the pricey side ($349).
I did notice the NVidia 7300 GT, which is more moderately priced ($145), but it only mentions being an upgrade card for the Mac Pro. Will this also work with the PowerMac G5 (Late 2005) model? I would hate to buy this video card and then find out that it won't work.

The only available upgrade card for the Late 2005 G5s is the X1900GT (aka G5 Edition). It's basically on par with the nVidia 7800GT that was available as a BTO option.
You can get the 7800GT and QuadroFX 4500 as replacement parts, but they're exorbitantly priced.
The Mac Pro cards won't work (even though they're also PCI-Express) due to the ROM on the card. It's only setup to work with the Mac Pro's EFI boot system and doesn't have the necessary code to work with the PowerMac's Open Firmware boot system.

My friend bought the Lion upgrade for her MacBook. She would also like to upgrade her desktop Mac which is current running Leopard. Does she have to buy SnowLeopard for her Mac first? Both computers use the same apple ID and password.

My friend bought the Lion upgrade for her MacBook. She would also like to upgrade her desktop Mac to Lion which is currently running Leopard. Does she have to first buy a SnowLeopard upgrade for her desktop? And will the upgrade from SnowLeopard to Lion then be free? Both computers use the same apple ID.

She would also like to upgrade her desktop Mac to Lion which is currently running Leopard.
She needs to purchase Snow Leopard but she can re download Lion on the desktop for free after Snow Leopard is installed.
And definitely use the same Apple ID to download Lion on the desktop.

Want to upgrade running systems on mac... for mac pro desktop

I have a 2004 Mac Pro Desk top-- Spent a lot on it!!! Trying to figure out if I can get just a new running system for it and keep everything else-- I have the really large monitor-- but I can't load the newest os software on it...

I think that the vieo card needs to be replaced because the monitor keeps turning off when it gets too hot.. but I was trying to figure out if I could overhaul my system to speed it up and maximize it's functions... I was thinking 2004 but I think your right-- I believe it was around 2006 that I purchased it... but I don't want to spend that kind of money again and it still runs-- however, it is more the hub of the house-- and I wanted to use it for our central network with a timecapsule and extended 4 t hard drive running off of that for movies (I know overkill) but we just want to be able to stream the 380 movies we own to any tv in the house through aple tvs... I am trying to learn more about the running systems and found I can not upgrade to the most recent OS system per apple rep... so it is the onl mac not running on the upgraded system... Please be patient with me-- I am not up on the hardware part of things and I need to find that out before I have someone else look at it... But here is all I had in about this mac--

I don't know if this says anything-- but everything seems to be in slots and I was uncertain why things in those slots couldn't be upgraded or if they are all too interdependent to run together with a upgrade-- for example if I replace or add a processor if the drives would not be accesible because of incompatibility...
So I guess the question is how to upgrade and maximize what I have?
