will the card work on my mac???
If not what are my other options as I have not so great NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 256MB

It is only when you get to the bottom, and that you want to PLAY GAMES that it is possible to answer.
Having 7300GT is worthless, unless to use 3rd monitor.
Only Windows has better Nvidia graphics and drivers for games. And if you run Windows, you can use PC card and leave the 7300GT for OS X alone.

Even last year you could use 4870 in Vista, just not in OS X

  • What Mac compatible graphics card makes a good upgrade from the Radeon HD 5870?

    Hello all,
    I am looking to upgrade from my Radeon HD 5870. I am running a mid-2010 Mac Pro, 12 core with 48GB RAM. The main reason for the upgrade is because I have a nice new Dell UP2414Q display for my 4k work. Problem is the HD 5870 won't support 3840x2160 as far as I can tell.
    I have really limited knowledge about graphics cards, so when I started dipping a toe into the world of graphics cards I got really overwhelmed and would appreciate anyone's advice on here.
    Thanks!

  • Fax Errors - what do they mean?

    I have an HP 6500 officejet, and keep getting fax errors, 344 & 346. What do they mean??

    Hello GSBUSA,
    Here's a document on how to interpret different fax error codes:
    http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=buu02549
    First thing I suggest that you do is to disconnect all other devices from the phone line the fax is connected to and only have that connected and also to test different numbers to see if you get the same error message regardless of where you send the fax. If you get the same error even then I would suggest that you lower the fax speed. You can do this in the Advanced Fax Setup in the Setup menu of the printer.

    Got it sorted.

All within 24h. Of course without any information as to why the problem came up in teh first place. At least it was swift action.

  • P6310y Graphics Card Update - What I bought as an upgrade

    p6310y Graphics Card Update
    Hi Everyone!
    I wanted to give back to the community on this one since I got such great support when I asked.  I am a casual gamer, and do a little video work from time to time.  Byeond that, this PC is used for web surfing, email, documents, etc.      I was considering upgrading my graphcs card, which I had already upgraded to the  XFX ATI 4350 1GB several years ago.   When I posted the question, Big Dave was especially helpful and suggested that I look at the MSI nVidia N750 TI or TF.   They both looked like great choices, but were both north of $100 which I had set as a limit.  ( At some point, you just have to consider upgrading the desktop )   I went to my local Tiger Direct and found what has turned out to be a great solution!  I bought a Zotac nVidia GeForce GT 730 2 GB. ( Zotac GT730 LP 2GB 64 bit DDR3 )    I used the FireStorm software ( included with the card ) to overclock it just a little, and it has turned out to be great!   It was about $75, and has allowed me to play World of Tanks with much higher settings while maintaining good FPS ( frames per second ).  
    I hope that helps some of you that are still using this quite capable desktop if you are looking for an upgrade.  

    @Big_Dave 
    Here is one for you!

  • Mac Pro Graphics Cards

    I am using an early Mac Pro 3 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon with an NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT Graphics Card. I am thinking of upgrading my monitor to a 24" model with high resolution.
    Can anyone give me advice on whether I need, or could benefit from, a new Graphics Card?
    Any advice would be most appreciated.
    YAGOM

    The NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT graphics card has one dual-link DVI port that can handle a display up to 2560 x 1600, and one single-link DVI port that can handle up to 1920 x 1200, so unless you need more graphics speed, such as for games, you don't need a new graphics card.
    Note: there is currently no way to use the new Apple 24" LED display with any Mac Pro graphics card.

  • GeForce GTX 680 Mac Edition Graphics Card advice wanted 2008 Mac Pro. Eight core desktop.

    I have read some threads yet it is not clear to me if it is a good move to upgrade an Mac Pro eight core 3.1- 2008 to use GeForce GTX 680 Mac Edition Graphics Card. I ask as my GeForce 8800 GT 2008 card has given up the ghost, and it has done sterling service R.I.P.. The machine is in the repair shop for a service itself, and this problem. So I thought an upgrade, as I am at it. Daunting choice out there. Um, learning curve and all that!
    I mainly do 2D graphics, Canvas, Adobe stuff, yet a little amount of video, which may grow some. No games on this work horse!
    So here I am fishing for experienced advice were my own is not, from anyone who has done this. Has it held up, do you get a boot screen, does it run two monsters easily via DVI.
    If you have one or something good fitted please share the skinny!
    For me it is turning into the year of the video card. My laptop looks like it got the disease first!
    Thanks.

    #1: AMD 7950 Mac Edition, or not. $425
    #2: GTX 680 Mac $625
    #3: MacVidCards - various but worth a look
    http://www.ebay.com/sch/macvidcards/m.html
    #4: GTX 285, no idea how 'safe' as often read someone (not Macvidcards) flashed PC card and sold as "Mac" and they are old, and may not be supported in Mavericks (and that would apply to a 8800 too).

    Check out Barefeats, again, for ideas if you want 'near best.'
    A new gpu is $5000 cheaper than an overhaul and new MP.
    A 2008 though will never perform as well as later models. Ideal is 2010 or later.
    Even a top of the line iMac with GTX if you are having a lot of trouble and thinking of ditching the 2008.

    Hi @Fodi 
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    Ok, I understand  that you are trying to install drivers for your graphics adapter and the one built in to your cpu.
    In reality you do not need to install the separate drivers. It is covered by the main driver for your graphics adapter when there is both an integrated and discrete gpu.
    As to the Error 43 -  please see this page: Expand Code 43: Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems
    Since you have tried several times you may need to remove both drivers and restart the system and let the os find the built-in graphics, before installing the driver for the AMD device.
    All the various drivers for this notebook that have been HP customized can be found here:

  • PPC Quad G5 Graphic Card Update from 6600

    Hi,
    I just got a new EOS 40D, and am wondering if anyone has any info whether Apple will provide graphics card updates for Quad PPC G5 users who have the 6600?
    Is this something they will be doing, ever?

    you mean the PCI-E G5? If so, then it appears that Apple is completely deaf to the thousands of customers that purchased a machine less than a year ago. As of now, there's no way of getting a video card upgrade (short of paying 4 times the retail value for one over at welovemacs.com). If I would have known that this is the level of support that I would have been getting, then I would have waited the extra 6-8 weeks for the 7800GT. fill out a feedback form, and hopefully they'll get the hint:
