Westmere Radeon 5770 Apple Acrylic ACD 23 inch Display Compatibility

Will the ACD to DVI acrylic 23 inch display work with the Mac Pro Westmere processor model and the ATI Radeon 5770? Never got my acrylic model display to work with anything but a Radeon X1900 on my Mac Pro 1.1. Thinking about upgrading to a new Mac Pro. If I can't get my acrylic ADC model to work, I may have to go in a different direction from Mac.

The odd thing is that my acrylic worked with the 4870 with with OS 10.5 without updates. No openGL and/or core image support; however, but it booted into the OS. As soon as I updated to to OS 10.5.8, I could no longer boot into the OS. When OS 10.5 was introduced, there were no Radeon 4870's on the market. Thank you for the information, but I'm still wondering; however, if I can use my acrylic with the new Mac Pro 2010 Westmere's and the Radeon 5770 or if I'm going to run into software conflicts. I would really like to get a new Mac Pro. I really like my Acrylic Cinema Display. Beautiful color rendition and a reliable power supply, the Dr. Bott DVIator. It's not that old and it is Macintosh hardware.

ATI Radeon 5770 Apple Upgrade Kit temperature

Hi dear friends!
I wonder if anyone can tell me what are the "normal" temperature ranges for an ATI Radeon 5770 Mac Graphic Card running on a Mac Pro 1,1 with one monitor only doing the day-to-day basic operations! Mine gets aroung 45-49 Celsius (113-120 Farenheit) degrees. Im pretty concern about this issue because I cannot find anyone with a normal chart of temperature ranges over internet.
Best Regards to all, @JRGN.

Which internal temperature? For example, Temperature Gauge (App Store) is listing 24 different temperature measurement points ranging from 81ºF to 157ºF in a 2010 Mac Pro right now and none of them is the video card.
The graphics card has a series of heat sink tubes running from the card's fan to the back plane of the card; the fan blows air through the tubes to remove the heat generated by the card and vents it out the back. Those tubes tend to collect a lot of dust, blocking the tubes and messing up the card's cooling system. One solution is to carefully route the tube of a compressed air can between the card's fan blades and aim it toward the rear of the card. You may be surprised at the cloud of dust blown out the back. Since the tubes are arranged like organ pipes, if you move the tube's nozzle to face different tubes, you can clean out most of the tubes in the heat sink.

23 inch display compatibility with new MacBook Pros

Could anyone tell me if my 2008 23inch Apple display would be compatible with the latest MacBook Pros?
I know the connection is different but am unsure what adaptor I'd need (if indeed there is one)
THANKS

You need a mini displayport to DVI adapter:

Radeon 5770 in 2008 Mac Pro, won't boot - hangs at Apple logo screen??

Okay, so I had the Radeon 2600 XT and it kept giving me issues with pink & white checkerboards and freezing, then eventually wouldn't let me boot past the white/grey apple logo loading screen. Now, today I installed Apple Radeon 5770, just installed, got the MiniDisplay to DVI-D adapter and everything, but it STILL won't let me get past the white/grey apple screen! I can't seem to get the DVD drive to open either. Both of my hard drives have been working fine and I've even swapped slots and i still can't get past the white screen! What gives? I just dropped over $300 for this, so you can imagine my dismay and frustration. Can someone please help me with some ideas? Would be GREATLY appreciated.
It's a 2008 Mac Pro dual 2.8Ghz (3,1), running 10.5.8

Yeah, ok thanks for the response about the screen! So, I don't have 10.6.5. I'm running 10.5.8, which the Radeon 5770 says it needs 10.6.5, but -finally- I got my computer to boot up with the 5770 in it, on 10.5. Al I did was hold OPTION+ Power button and it took me to a blue screen, then to my 500 GB new HD. I then switched over to my other username on Macintosh HD (drive that came with the MacPro) and OSX loads fine! I can tell that it still needs to be on 10.6.5, so I can download the drivers because the text is ever so slightly fuzzy, and the color isn't tuned well (too much contrast) and images take a little longer to load/ are a bit laggy. I'm just glad it's up and running! No more pink transparent checkerboards, and loud *** fan sounds! I am wondering though, what was causing this hold up? Is it only booting up because I have the 10.5.2 install disc in the SuperDrive? I almost don't want to take it out and try without it, after the trouble i've had, just in case lol. I'd like to have an idea as to why, because I don't want to mask a problem, and have it eventually turn into a catastrophe.

ATI Radeon 5770 on Mac Pro 3.1

Hi All,
I got a question I want to buy the new 27 inch cinema display but this new display got the apple mini displayport which my mac pro don't have.
Specs Computer:
MacPro3,1 Quad-Core Intel Xeon 2,8 GHz with videocard: ATI Radeon HD 2600
So what to do now?
First option:
Do I need to buy the ATI Radeon HD 5770 because this got all the correct ports to connect to the 27 inch display? And will this display be able to connect to my mac pro? And how many monitors can be connected to one ATI Radeon HD 5770 video card? Because I have also my old display 20 inch and I want to use that if it is possible as a second screen.
Second option:
I read on the internet that It is possible to buy an dual DVI to apple mini displayport converter but I don't read on apple site if this will work correct? But with this solution if it is possible then I can not work with 2 screens not a big problem but is this cable good to buy for my mac to connect to the display?
I hope i'm clear and understandable and I hop you can help me with this "problem".
Thnx,
Nick

There are 10s of comments on the product page, here, and on various sites.
Ony requires 10.6.5 or later. Works in ALL Mac Pro models, as we never of course tire of saying.

ATI Radeon 5770 w 2008 MacPro 3,1

I recently had my GeForce 8800 go bad on me. And after some research I plunked for the ATI Radeon 5770 (bought from here on the Apple Store).
I have a Dell 24" 2804WP LCD monitor, and am using the DVI port.
Before my 8800 went belly-up, I had ZERO problems with my monitor.
But now, since I've installed the ATI 5770, the monitor often "blacks out", and gives me this error message:
When I log-in via ScreenSharing (from my MacBook) and I see that there are not displays detected:
In fact, I get this same "non-display" configuration even when the monitor is "working."
Is this a driver thing? How do I go about troubleshooting this?
Any ideas?

The message you are seeing on screen is generated by the display, not by the Mac.
The Mac does not use custom Drivers for any display. Instead, it uses a highly-parameterized Driver that is customized by the reported capabilities of the Display.
The display must report both its NAME and its Capabilities when the Mac asks for them, usually at power-on.
A common problem with displays that have multiple inputs, is that at the moment the Mac asks for this information, the display is not paying attention to the correct port, and misses the query. The Mac does not get a response, so the display stays blank. You can use the (Detect Displays) button to get the Mac to ask again, but this may require an additional display.
I do not believe converting from Mini DisplayPort will improve anything. Direct DVI should be superior. Since your display is only 1920 wide, Dual-Link is not needed.

Question about Parallels and ATI Radeon 5770

Ok, so I have a Mac Pro 3,1 here. I'm upgrading it to 16GB and two 7200 RPM 3TB drives which I'll run in Raid 0.
It has an ATI 2600HD with 256MB VRAM. This card has two DVI ports.
I just purchased an ATI Radeon 5770. I will use it with two Cinema Displays (DVI connections).
To connect the second display, I have the Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter at Firmware 1.03.
My question concerns Parallels 8.
My Windows 7 VM will be a heavy-use VM so I want snappy performance. I was planning to dedicate 8GB RAM, half my CPU cores to it, and 512MB VRAM on the 5770.
What I was wondering about was the possibility of leaving in the 2600 HD and using its GPU to support my Parallels VM. Is that feasible? Practical?
Thanks

Dump the 2600XT (put it on the shelf, don't use it)
Install Windows natively first, then you can use it both ways, natively and dual boot, plus in a VM when that works.
Another option is 10.8.2 supports more Nvidia cards and more then the 1GB.
Don't use green 3TB in an array.

Will the Apple 30 Inch display work with my MacBook pro? Confused!!

Hi all,
thinking of getting a used Apple 30 inch display to go with my MBP, but not sure if it will work at the correct resolution. Ive read you need a Duel Link DVI cable, but I have Thunderbolt not mini-display port. My MBP is early 2011 (think), so I am really confused. The 27 Incher with thunderbolt would be good too, but they are too expensive for me.
Graphics card is AMD Radeon HD 6490M, 16mb RAM. 10.6.8.
I would really appriciate any advice !
Thank you all in advance,
Bish.

I am replying to my own post here, but i have made excellent progress and wanted to let any other viewers in the same boat, know the solution.
Basically, the Duel Link DVI cable from Apple (£70 / $99) is the bad boy that works. My confusion was Thunderbolt, but apparently Thunderbolt IS ALSO a DVI port ! So, buy the 30 incher on Ebay or off a mate, and BANZAI ! done. Glorious res of about 2560x1600pixels is awesome!
The only downside here is that it might be too big LOL !!!!
Good luck all
Bish

Replacement power cable for ATI Radeon 5770?

I'm shopping around for a replacement graphics card for my Mac Pro and I've found several Radeon 5770s that don't have the PCIe power cable included.
Does anyone know what sort of cable they use and if replacements can be purchased?

yes it can be purchased but first, you are shopping for an Apple version, right?

OWC shows the cable, they also sell separately (maybe why they charge more?)
Amazon had customer photos but not showing one.
I was under the impression that Apple would/was including the cable.

ATI Radeon 5770 in 2006 Mac Pro with Lion

Hit an issue with my 2006 Mac Pro when the video card died in late October. At that point I was running Lion and had kept on top of software updates. Being on a restricted budget, I have purchased and installed an ATI Radeon 5770 card from the Apple store as I cannot afford a new Mac Pro. I knew that before I did this there may be incompatability problems with this card and Lion on the older Mac Pros, and this seems to be the case.
However, having trawled through the forums it seems some users are able to run this card on 1.1 machines with Lion. So I am now wondering if I have another issue - I'd much rather stick with Lion if I can rather than revert to Snow Leopard. Now I have installed the card things seem fine with the display - the 30" cinema display no longer has blocks of pixels all over it. On boot up the screen is a pale grey, the Apple logo appears in the centre with the busy timer underneath. I also get a loading bar for about 20 seconds. This gets to about 20% then disappears. Everything sounds like the machine is booting normally but it just won't progress beyond this point. I have tried holding shift to boot it in safe mode but the same things happens.
If anyone can help point me in the right direction of what I should try next I'd be profoundly grateful!
Vinny

I knew that before I did this there may be incompatibility problems with this card and Lion on the older Mac Pros,
Although some users have complained of problems, their wounds may be self-inflicted. Use of a non-Apple ATI 5770 or failure to upgrade to at least 10.6.5 are high on the list. The main "issue", if you can even call it that, is the card runs more slowly than its published benchmarks due to PCIe 1 slots in the Mac Pro 1,2 and 2,1.
I also get a loading bar for about 20 seconds. This gets to about 20% then disappears.
That progress bar is indicative of unresolved Hard Drive problems. You need to boot to an alternate source of software (Hold Command-R at startup for Recovery_HD if you are running later than 10.6.8) and check the SMART Status and then select Macintosh_HD or whatever you renamed it and ( Repair Disk ). Repeat until all problems are resolved or it gets stuck. If you need help, copy the EXACT error message back here.

Driver upgrade for AMD Radeon 5770 Graphics Card

I have a 2008 Mac Pro, running OSX 10.8.5. Just installed AMD Radeon 5770 graphics card (Apple says this isn't supported; users I read said it works despite what Apple says in knowledge article (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3477). When I restarted, the system said my card was a Radeon HD 5000, not 5770. AMD's web site not clear about driver upgrade (and I believe I have to do this, since I took out the old graphics card (ATI Radeon HD 2600 that came with the Mac Pro at purchase). Didn't get a clear answer, yet, from Apple support. Anyone experience this? Does anyone know which driver to manually download from AMD's site? It's not clear, and they also suggested, talk to Apple to get driver support. Here's where I went, and found the choice not clearly mapped out for the Mac (and their autodetect software works only for XP:

RE: Mac Pro silver tower (2006-2012) Replacement Graphics cards
1) Apple brand cards,
2) "sold in the Apple store" cards, and
3) "Mac Edition" cards ...
... show all the screens, including Boot up screens, Safe Mode, Installer, Recovery, debug screens, and Alt/Option boot screens. At this writing, these choices include:
1) Apple brand cards:
• Apple-firmware 5770, about US$250** works near full speed in every model Mac Pro, Drivers in 10.6.5. (This card has just been discontinued and is no longer available from Apple dealers. There may be some new, old stock still available at resellers)
• Apple-firmware 5870, about US$450
2) "sold in the Apple store" cards
• NVIDIA Quadro 4000 Fermi, about US$1200
• NVIDIA Quadro K5000 Kepler, about US$2500
3) "Mac Edition" cards -- REQUIRE 10.8.3 or later:
• SAPPHIRE HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 MAC Edition, about US$480** Vendor recommends Mac Pro 4,1
• EVGA GTX 680 Mac Edition, about US$600
The cards above require no more than the provided two 6-pin aux power connectors provided in the Mac Pro through 2012 model. Aux cables may not be provided for third-party cards, but are readily available.
If you are Meet ALL of these:
• running 10.8.3 or later AND
• don't care about "no boot screens" etc AND
• can re-wire or otherwise "work out" the power cabling, THEN:
You can use many more cards, even most "PC-only cards".
One more thing--
Flashed PC cards: There are a good many EFI flashed cards that offer boot screens and behave like official cards. "for more information about using and flashing non-Apple cards, please check out the various sites like Netkas (and others) that focus on and discuss what is known and available. (Not supported or endorsed by Apple.)"

ATI RADEON 5770 on Mac Pro 2006

Hello,
I am using a MacPro 1.1 (from 2006) and out of the blue my video card which was Geforce 7300GT burned out. I can't find a replacement card which is the same and only combatible one I found is Ati Radeon 5770. Before I move on buying this card I am wondering whether it will work first of all on my mac pro, and if so which exact model should I purchase since I see some differences in each one as far as the memory bus (4800Mhz, 5200 Mhz and 1200 Mhz) and the processor clock speed ( 850 Mhz and 875 Mhz) I would really appreciate some help on this matter since it's already 2 weeks I am trying to solve it.
Thanks!

Well, thank you for that.
If you are lucky or willing, the link I have for 1st gen 8800GT model on ebay. Pricey as can be though.
Also:
http://myworld.ebay.com/macvidcards/
Hopefully 5770s are waiting for drivers or to be replaced with Radeon 6xxx series (but which would then require more retooling of drivers you can be sure).
Last year this time, the 5000's were just coming out. Nvidia was also inbetween the FERMI (GeForce 400s) and older GTX 200 series which caused shortages and when you could find anything, inflated pricing.
When I bought the 8800GT I also picked up ($129) OS X DVD 10.5.6 (had I guessed, I would have waited for Snow Leopard @ $29 maybe). And, you have to call but 10.5.x DVDs can be ordered by phone Apple Store but not online (another peeve, it is almost impossible to buy Leopard now, the last that supports PowerMacs too).
At least the Apple variety of ATI Radeon work in any and all Mac Pro models.
If there is a way to flash or work with PC cards, that would come from MacRumors Mac Pro.

Should I purchase ATI Radeon 5770 vs. ATI Radeon 5870?

I'm using CS5 to do focus stacking (2-3GB files) doing a lot of free transform/opacity changing to match layers underneath and also moderate video editing in Final Cut.
I want to upgrade my graphics card (currently have the NVIDIA GeForce GT 120) and was wanting some input as to the ATI Radeon 5770 or the ATI Radeon 5870? Is the 5870 overkill for these applications? Will I see much improvement in smooth anchor point movement? Running dual monitors out of the DVI and mini display port (s).
Thanks

Outside your budget? Quadro 4000 could potentially do more if CS5 Mercury Engine plug-in is being used or off load and use CUDA.
Trouble is you can't (easily) have 5870 and Quadro 4000.
$449 seems an awful lot for 5870 today, (PC 5870s are now less than Apple 5770). PC Quadro 4000 go for $750 instead of $1195.
One reason why - (there are threads here, too)

ACD 30 inch powered by a powerbook G4

Hi,
I am considering purchasing an monitor to use with my powerbook g4 and I want to know whether I will be able to run one of the ACD 30inch displays off of my powerbook g4 at its native resolution. If I cant run the display at native resolution what would the picture look like? thanks.
Also, is it possible to attach an arm to the ACD 30inch and rotate it 90% to portrait mode? I know that it doesn't come with that type of rotating base, but is it VESA compatible?
Thanks in advance.

Your PowerBook doesn't have the dual-link DCVI needed to run the 30" at full resolution. The 1.67GHz 17" PowerBook was the first with dual-link DVI. With single link the 30" will run at 1280 x 800. The pixels will be large.

<http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=52 6D850B&nplm=M9649G%2FA> That will work with VESA mounts with a 100mm x 100 mm attachment. Many VESA mounts, though, use 75mm x 75mm.
