Viedo card upgrade

hello,
i have just installed to mu mac pro 2x3 ghz quzd-core xeon, 8gb 667mhz
new video card ati radeon hd 5770 before i had NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500
result:
-the magic mouse start working much better. beore it was not that exact
-tomorow will get cinema led 27 and try to connect.
i have several questions:
-the driver for the new card is not installed, even updating doesnt help, how to install it?
-can i use both cards?
-which one is more powerful?
-sometimes in iweb after long work i start feeling computer has not much power, what to do? card or memory upgrade is needed?

The drivers are part of OS X. Any updates to the drivers would be when you upgrade OS X assuming driver updates were included in the update. Unfortunately, you haven't indicated what version of OS X you have installed.
You can have both cards installed, but only one card can be used - the one to which the monitor is connected. No increase in video performance occurs by having two cards installed as opposed to one.
I believe the Quadro FW 4500 is the faster card.

  • DVI & ADC video card upgrade???

    What can I get to replace the stock 64mb AGP card (at least I think it is) in my MDD Dual 1.42 machine. I currently run two Acrylic Cinema Displays, a 20" via DVI and a 17" via ADC...
    Is ADC going to limit my options? If so, I can use a second ADC-DVI for the 17" monitor.
    Any help would be great.
    Thanx

    Okay, so it sounds like I should "dump" the ADC idea.
    Then an I looking for a card with 2-DVI or 1-DVI and 1-VGA ???
    I've followed several of your discussions, but still need a little help with the Video Card upgrade education. Flashed cards kind of scare me, but are they okay to use? I don't know if I could tell the difference anyway. Asking a seller on eBay if it is in most cases won't get you anywhere either.
    You've talked about the 7800gs card. Any others I could consider? I've read that some cards don't work in a FW800 MDD machine.

  • Mac pro 8 core 3.1 randomly freezes after video card upgrade

    Hi,
    I just installed an ATI 5770 as a video card upgrade, plugged my new LED cinema display 27 and everything seems to work fine.
    Sometimes though, while working with Aperture I noticed the Mac Pro just freezes, although the mouse works, I cannot do anything and I'm forced to press and hold the power button for a reboot.
    This happended randomly 5 or 6 times in a couple of weeks and only while working with Aperture.
    Any thoughts? Anyone having the same issue?
    Thanks for your reply.
    Guido

    Running Lion or SL?
    Tried holding Shift key down and do a safe boot after those freezes.
    Use Disk Utility from another boot media to repair your drive.
    Do you have enough RAM? is Aperture library on non-boot drive? Does it have 30% or more free? more is better. Same for the boot drive which sholdk be small and 50% free.
    Corrupt library. Corrupt preferences (if there were none before, there likely are now after those hard restarts, to data files and to the disk directories).

  • Looking for Macbook Graphics Card Upgrade

    Hey,
    I recently saw a Graphics Card Upgrade Kit for a Macbook Pro and was wondering if Apple offers a Graphics Card Upgrade Kit for a Macbook.
    Thanks,

    Welcome to the discsussions!
    The graphics chipset is integrated into the logic board and cannot be replaced or upgraded.
    Are you sure you saw one for the MacBook Pro and not the Mac Pro desktop tower?

  • Slimline s5-1010 - HDMI graphics card upgrade, what graphics cards will work in slimline box?

    Slimline s5-1010 - HDMI graphics card upgrade, what graphics cards will work in slimline box?  Cheap will do, under 100.  Has 1 PCI Express x16, but the slot on back of pc looks about 2" too short for this?

    Hi-
    I think you will find there are more users of the ATI Radeon 9800 that DON'T have a 300w PSU, than those that do. It would leave out the majority of the G4 line if it were absolutely necessary. As I see it, it isn't absolutely necessary, and, it is also the ONLY higher end upgrade graphics card commercially produced for 2x, 4x AGP systems, most of which, DON'T have a 300w PSU.
    My Sawtooth has a 237w PSU, and the 9800, and my processor upgrade, and 2 internal drives, all work just fine!
    As for the piggyback connection, that is how you connect the power to the 9800. A splitter molex cable is used to split power from the superdrive connection, between the superdrive and the 9800.

  • E55: About microSDHC card upgrade procedure?

    Hello,
    I'm planning to replace and upgrade the original 2gb memory card of my E55 with a new 8gb class 10 card using this procedure:
    1- Backup (copy) all existing files (including hidden files) to hdd using windows explorer of current 2gb card.
    2- Before inserting my new 8gb card into my E55, write all back the data from hdd to new card as is.
    Will this procedure work?
    Also, i found out a file called 'card_contents.xml' in card root which is supposed to be used by Ovi Maps application, and it contains a card size string as '2gb', so will i also have to change this string to 8gb?
    Please help me about these.
    Thanks a lot!

    Hi all,
    Yesterday i did the card upgrade by replacing my old 2gb Nokia card with brand new Transcend Class 10 8 gb microSDHC card. Here are what i've experienced so far after upgrade process:
    1- Some file names now became uppercase letters when you're viewing them via any file manager such as S60 default file manager or with other applications. Interestingly, these filenames contain lowercase letter when you see files in Windows Explorer.
    For example, some files seem as:
    ABCDE.XYZ in file manager(s) of my E55, wheres they're abcde.xyz in Windows Explorer.
    Why is that difference? Note that most file names have been preserved as is with no problem with their letter cases.
    2- In music player, though my custom music playlist has memory card icon next to it and i did exact copy via Windows Explorer, it got lost! Plus, my music library is reported as corrupted. I couldn't recover my custom music list but i managed to get my music library working by refreshing it.
    3- Ovi Maps did not encounter any problems related to card upgrade so far, even, the QF seems to be updated properly (quota) after launching Maps application for once.
    I really wonder the first one, really weird. Some file names appear as uppercased using phone, but in Windows Explorer in Computer they're lowercased. I noticed also 'cities' folder and 'qf' file are reported in uppercase letter format in phone (like CITIES, QF) but they're lowercase in Computer even with Nokia's old original memcard.
    Any comment is appreciated.
    Thanks!

  • Video Card Upgrades

    I'm looking to either upgrade or augment the vid display card in my (admittedly) older G5. It was my severance pay from my previous employer, and I still haven't been able to find a job, so my financial resources are a tad limited at the moment.
    I've seen Nvidia Geforce 6600 128mb on Ebay and I was wonder if it's a suitable replacement for the 64mb card I've currently got. ATI is the manufacturer of the existing card.

    Seems like you must have an early G5 but not sure which exact model, but one with AGP 8x.
    There are a number of threads of others asking for video card upgrades. And there is a great hardware resource and database:
    http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/
    I think there is/was a 6800 Ultra also.

  • G5 video card upgrade capability - HDTV?

    Hi, all
    I have a G5 1.8ghz single processor tower (M9555LL/A) with an NVIDIA GeForceFX 5200 64mb video card in it (the factory default card). I'd like to use this old box as a media server, connected to a 32" LCD TV (which I have yet to purchase). What I have in mind is to use a DVI to HDMI connector to make my equipment talk.
    I'm a little confused about whether it will be able to produce acceptable video with the default card at, let's say a TV with 720p vertical resolution. I understand that graphics cards are designed w/ square monitor pixels in mind, as opposed to NTSC rectangular pixels.
    Does anyone have any experience with turning a Mac into a media hub, connected directly to a TV? Any thoughts on whether I might experience flickering, fuzzy images, or skipping coming from a low end video card, or other pitfalls I should be aware of before I sink several hundred dollars into this venture?
    Also... I haven't found good info on what my graphics card upgrade options are for this particular Mac. Can someone point me to a list of available graphics cards, or what specs I should be looking for?
    Your help is greatly appreciated in advance. Keep on truckin'!

    Hi-
    I have a G4 Quicksilver as a media server connected to a 37" LCD TV. I installed a flashed Geforce 6800 GT in the QS, and connected via a DVI to HDMI cable.
    I easily get the 1920 x 1200 NTSC support needed with that card.
    The picture is very clear, with no fuzz or skipping of video.
    When your face is very close to the screen (within 1 ft.) an ever so slight "flicker" is apparent, but is otherwise, imperceivable. A very, very nice picture, that I am completely satisfied with!
    The 5200 should do a pretty good job. I first used a much lower powered ATI Radeo 9000. I was still able to get good resolution, but could not get NTSC support. Menu bar was always cut off......

  • Graphic Card Upgrade for HP-Pavilion dv6t-7000

    Hello. I have the HP Pavlilion dv6t-7000 with the NVIDIA GT650M 1GB grpahics card. Now because of my work, i need to extends my graphic card memory. So I want to ask if my laptop is possible to upgrade to GT650M 2GB card.
    My product number is A5F74AV. And my wannary is end on 8/24/2013.
    And this laptop is a gift of my aunt from USA, and I'm living in Viet Nam now. So if yes, can HP Vietnam do the upgrade for me? My aunt's family is very busy so I can't resend my laptop and ask them to return to you.
    Thank you very much!

    Hi:
    The only way to upgrade the video card in your notebook is to replace the entire motherboard which would cost as much as buying a new notebook with better graphics.
    If you had HP do the upgrade, it would probably cost more than buying 2 notebooks with better graphics than yours.

    Hi:
    The only way you can upgrade the video in your notebook is to replace the entire motherboard with one that has a better video solution.
    However, when you look at chapter 3 of the service manual at the link below, you are already at the top of the mark regarding what video chip is on the available motherboards.

    So, you will either have to live with the status quo or buy a new notebook.

  • Video Card upgrade for HP Pavilion HPE h8-1256s Desktop

    I wanted to upgrade my current graphics card which was an NVIDIA GeForce GT 620, the mother board is a H-Joshua-H61-uATX. I recently bought an EVGA GeForce GTX 750Ti Superclock. I unistalled the old drivers took out the old card, added the new one and when I started up my PC i would recive 3 beeps and a black screen. I did some research and found out that it may be due to the BIOS. There is no BIOS upgrade I can find and my BIOS vers is AMI 7.11, 4/28/2012. I would appreciate a list or a recommendation of compatable Video cards so I do not have to keep buying and installing these devices or if there is a new BIOS update.

    Hi,
    The EVGA 750 will not work with a version 7 BIOS.  Look under Windows 8 for BIOS version 8.19.

    Here are the specs for your HP Pavilion a1020n Desktop Computer and it's PTGD-LA (Goldfish3) motherboard. According to the specs, your computer has no dedicated graphics card expansion slot. The only expansion slots available on this system are three traditional and/or conventional PCI slots. One of these slots currently contains a K56flex modem.
    Here is a selection of PCI graphics cards that may meet your requirements. Please note that these cards may also require you to upgrade your power supply as well.
