What is the procedures to upgrade graphic card

I've just got a GT 120 graphic card and want to replace the old GT7300.
(some articals say it works fine with 1st gen intel mac pro and say that install the driver first, but no driver cd in the upgrade kit)
I've also upgrade to OS10.6.
But I don't know the correct procedures of upgrading this graphic card.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Edta

There should not be any "articles" I am aware of as that card will only work with EFI64 Mac Pro 2008 and later, and not with early 2006/7 models.
Short list, other than ebay and flashing PC cards: ATI Radeon 4870 - contrary to not being listed by Apple which is just causing us to have to keep reiterating it works.
The 8800GT is gone, shame, and there is no Nvidia offered for 1st gen.
Now that you have 10.6 you are fine, just swap out the 7300GT. The 4870 requires 10.5.7 though, so your older systems and DVDs other than 10.6 won't work.

  • What is the procedure when upgrading to Creative Suite 5 Production Premium?

    Hello!
    In 2006 I bought the Adobe Creative Suite Production Studio Premium. The procedure when activating the installation I don't remember exactly. The computer on which the Suite was installed doesn't have an internet connection (I thought that was the simplest and safest thing to do; I have another computer for that purpose).
    Now, if I want to upgrade to Creative Suite 5 on a newly bought i7 computer, what is the procedure? What do I need to prove to Adobe that I'm eligible for the upgrade? Please tell me the serial number on the box is enough... my old editing computer doesn't start at all so any info contained there is unobtainable at the moment.

    The serial number of the old version - is that, by any chance, something you get from Adobe via internet or is it stuck on the box with the manuals and DVDs?I can't remember myself.
    I kept the following (I don't even know if it is from Adobe) on my other (internet) computer. Someone recognizes this as specifically relating to Production Studio, when it comes to the serial number format for example? L is a letter and N is a number.
    Below are your Serial and Authorization keys.
    Enter them in the "Enter registration keys" window, which can be found at:
    "Help menu" -> "Enter registration keys".
    Serial-key: NNLL-LLLN-LLLL-LNLL  Auth-key: LLLN-NLNL-NLLN
    As I said, I can't access info on my old editing computer. Any help would be appreciated.

    joebeegs, Welcome to the discussion area!
    What "apple computer" do you have?
    If you have an eMac, iMac, iBook, or Mac mini you can not upgrade or replace the graphics card. The graphics capability is built into the logic board.

  • 2009 Mac Pro upgrading graphics card to GTX 680 mac. What is the best version of AE and PP and OSX to have?

    Hello,
    I have a 2009 Mac Pro 4.1
    Mac OSX version 10.6.8
    Processor - 2 x 2.26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
    Memory - 24GB
    Graphics Card - ATI Radeon HD 4870
    I use After Effects and Premiere Pro daily for my work. I am not too technically minded. I want to update and improve my machine as much as possible and am thinking of buying an SSD drive to replace my current start up disk. I also am thinking about getting the GTX 680 mac version graphics card. I have read many online discussions regarding OpenCL and CUDA, many discussions with mixed feelings about the improvements the 680 gives an older Mac Pro - some people say it is amazing others say the improvements seem minimal or worse.
    What I want to know is if I purchase the SSD and 680 graphics card what is the optimal OSX - 10.8 or 10.9? and what is the optimal versions of AE and PP to have - CS6 or CC? Also what settings and what additional drivers would I need to consider?
    I contacted an independent authorised mac reseller and he thought it was a bad idea to put a new graphics card and get the latest OSX in an old machine and tried to sell me a used 2010 Mac Pro, but I think it would be more cost effective to get the SSD and 680 instead, it's just I read the occasional horror story on a forum and I worry about making the wrong choice, I rely on my Mac Pro to make a living!
    Thanks in advance

    Thank you for the valuable information Eric, I think I will go with the 680 but I understand that it wont be fully utilised on my old Mac Pro.
    Perhaps I will replace my startup/applications hard drive with a 480GB SSD. My other 3 bays are full with 3 x 2TB Hard drives that have media on them so I have no spare room for a dedicated SSD drive for AE cache. But could I put a 250GB SSD into one of the PCI-E slots using something like - SSD SuperSpeed Upgrade Kit for Apple Mac Pro 2008 2009 2010 2012 | eBay
    Would this be my best solution? Is it a relatively simple installation, does anyone have any experience of a similar setup?
    cc_merchant, thank you for the reply, I am aware you have to pay monthly payments for CC, that is no problem.

  • What upgrade graphic card do i need for a early 2008 mac pro

    I have a early 2008 Mac Pro.  ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 MB is what i have now.  What is a good upgrade graphic card to get.

    The GTX 780 6GB runs fine on the dual PCIe internal power cables -- as does the GTX 680 and Radeon HD 7950. The same can't be said of the GTX TITAN or GTX 780 Ti or Radeon R9 280X -- all of which require an auxiliary power feed to avoid a nasty power down of your tower at the worst moment when too much wattage is demanded of the Mac Pro's factory power supply.
    Did I mention that the GTX 780 with 6GB of GDDR5 matches the 6GB of GDDR5 in the TITAN?
    The one fallacy to my 'sweet spot' award has to do with OpenCL. In case you hadn't noticed, the AMD Radeon GPUs smoked the NVIDIA GeForce GPUs running Photoshop's OpenCL accelerated Iris Blur filter and rendering LuxMark's OpenCL accelerated Room scene.
    - http://www.barefeats.com
    So depends on budget, whether you want a PC card for less but no "early EFI boot screen" prior to drivers loading, and what apps and needs you have.
    The one thing for sure is that 2600XT should have been retired ages ago and even more so with 10.8.3 and above, it could be trouble or just... PITA/POS.

  • I have a hdd from late 2009 that I upgraded from leopard to snow leopard to lion to mountain lion.  I want to upgrade the hdd to ssd.  Do I need to buy a new copy of mountain lion to install on the ssd?  If not, then what is the procedure to transfer?

    I have a hdd from a late 2009 mbp.  I upgraded from leopard to snow leopard to lion to mountain lion.  Now I want to upgrade to a ssd.  Do I need to purchase a new copy of mountain lion to go on my new ssd? If I don't, then what is the procedure to transfer mountain lion with my 4 user accounts onto the new ssd from the hdd?
    I'm confused on if I can use the recovery hd on a thumb drive to install mountain lion on my ssd.  Will it be pheasible with so many OS X upgrades?  And then how do I get my user accounts onto the ssd from the hdd.  Do I use migration assistant?  Do I need to make a time machine backup first?  Should I use something called Carbon Clone or something like that?
    Thanks for reading

    If you have a cable that connects and external HDD to the MBP, it will do.  If it is something like this, an  enclosure will not be needed for the swap:
    An enclosure allows you to use your old HDD for storage or backup purposes.  The cable will not. 
    Here are instructions as to how the swap can be performed using DISK UTITY.  Substitute You cable for the enclosure in same:
    INSTALLING A NEW HDD IN A MBP
    1. Make certain that you have backed up all of your important data.
    2. You will need a HDD enclosure.  One with a USB connection will do.  A 9 pin Firewire is better.
    3. Install your new drive in the enclosure and connect it to your MBP.
    4. Open DISK UTILITY>ERASE.  From the left hand column drag the new drive into the 'Name' field.  Make sure that the format is 'Mac OS Extended (Journaled)'.  Click on the 'Erase' button.
    5. Click on the 'Restore' button (on top).  Drag the old drive into the 'Source' field and the new drive into the 'Destination'  field.  Click on the 'Restore' button on the bottom right hand corner.
      Depending upon the amount of data you are transferring, this may take a couple hours or more.  A Firewire will speed up the transfer.  This will result in both drives having identical information on them.
    6. After the data transfer has completed, you may swap the drives.  Start the MBP and you have finished the installation.  The initial boot may take a bit longer than you are accustomed to, but that is normal.
    7. When you are satisfied that the new hard drive if functioning properly, you can erase the old drive and use it for any needs that you may have.
    If there is any confusion on your part, post back.
    Ciao.

  • What is the procedure of Call Manager upgrade from version CUCM 7.1 (MCS Server) to version CUCM 10.2 (on UCS server)

    Hi
    What is the procedure of Call Manager upgrade from version CUCM 7.1 (MCS Server)  to version CUCM 10.2 (on UCS server) , please let me know the steps to what would be the backup procedures and upgrades.
    Regards
    Gaurav

    I'd suggest reading this guide to make sure you have prepared your environment to support 10.x first. The link below also contains the upgrade path to 10.0(1).
    One of the ways you can do this is:
    1/ Apply refresh upgrade cop file on all servers in cluster.
    2/ Upgrade the cluster to 8.6(2). Take a backup of the cluster.
    3/ Build a cluster of 8.6(2) servers on VMs, and assign them the same hostnames and IP address as the hardware cluster. (You may need to keep these on a separate network until switching off the hardware machines)
    4/ Restore the backup taken from the hardware cluster on to the VM cluster.
    5/ Upgrade VM cluster to 10.0(1).

    Welcome to the US!  I think you can just take your ID card to the Apple store or shop online : http://store.apple.com/us/browse/campaigns/education_pricing
    the site has all the info for eligibility and available items for purchase -- I think you can type in your school to see if on list of approved schools. I think the ID checking is rather benign. discounts are modest from what I recall.

  • Hp Pavillon a6102.uk upgrade graphics card

    hi,
    i have a Hp Pavillon a6102.uk. [email protected], memory 1.50GB.
    I want to upgrade the graphics card so i am able to play games on the computer.  there is a intel(R) graphics media 82945g express chipset family installed. the game i'm playing says i need shader 2.0 or newer installed. 
    What graphics card should i go for? not looking for the most expensive card
    Where would i get one of these cards? Amazon??
    And what is the procedure to follow for changing the card?
    thanks

    Hi:
    If you have a 250W or better P/S in your PC, I would go for this card.
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/ASUS-GeForce-PCI-E-Profile​-Bracket/dp/B0046Y4ONK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1350​...
    On a different US site, there are more details about the card and more reviews.
    http://216.52.208.185/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N8​2E16814121397
    This one will pep up your video.
    The card should come with instructions for installing but here is what I do:
    1. Uninstall the current video driver by going to the control panel, under display adapters, right click on the Intel video adapter and select uninstall.  Then shut down (do not reboot) the PC.
    2. Unplug the PC and disconnect the monitor cable from your current adapter. Install your new video card, put the PC back together and plug the monitor cable into the new card's video port.  If you have a monitor with a DVI connection, I would buy a dvi cable and use that to connect the card to your monitor for the best video performance.
    3. Boot up the PC, it should recognize the card and then install the video drivers from the supplied driver disk.
    4. This card had an HDMI out port. If your onboard sound gets disabled after you install the card, do not be alarmed.  Just restart the PC after you install the drivers, hit the F10 key at the beginning of the HP welcome screen to accesss the BIOS. Look for an onboard audio setting. It will either be set to Auto or Disabled.
    Change the setting to Enabled. Save the setting there and again when you exit the BIOS.  Upon restart the onboard audio should be back.
    5.  Enjoy your new video card.
    I have included a picture of the motherboard in your PC. The video card is installed in that long black slot above the 3 white ones running parallel to the bottom of the motherboard picture

  • Do I need upgraded graphics card for photography with 24" iMac ?

    I'm very close to ordering a new 24" iMac. I'm a photographer, shoot RAW & process in Adobe Lightroom beta, and can't seem to find out if I would benefit from the upgraded video / graphics card option. If this just for gaming and video or would I see some benefit from having it for my photo applications? I'm also debating on the value of ordering the higher speed processor for the iMac. I know RAM is the most important thing but not sure if I'm wasting $$$ on the graphics card and speed upgrades. Hope one of the experts here can help me make the right decision. I'm currently using a 20" G5 iMac with 1.5 gigs of RAM with decent success.

    Here is my personall philosophy on purchasing computers. Buy the best you can with in your budget. If your budget allows the cpu upgrade and the video card upgrade get it. Once you order, you won't be able to upgrade again and who knows what the future holds. It will also help to future proof your computer. If you only buy once every 3 or 4 years then getting the better cpu and graphics card will help tide you over near the end. Also, your computing habits my change in the future. You might decide you like doing video and then the 9600 gt card will indeed help. I just don't like limiting my future use by my buying decisions today.

    Hi:
    Graphics adapters cannot be upgraded simply. 
    You would need to replace the motherboard with one that would have better graphics (if one exists for your model).
    This would cost as much as buying a new notebook, so it is probably not a good idea to undertake such an endeavor.

    Hello,
    My iMac has an ATI RadeonHD 2600 card with 256G. Is it possible to upgrade this computer's graphics card? If so, what are the options for upgrade?

    Short answer: No.
    Graphics cards cannot be upgraded - the only choices there are if you buy from the online store and choose a special configuration.

  • Upgrading graphics card p6516f-b

    I currently own a HP p6516f-b and love it.  When I first purchased it I changed the power supply to 400w and the graphics card to a GeForce 9800GT.  Everything was fine with my system until I started playing a new version of a game and now I get the BSOD frequently and also I have a GPU monitor for the temperature on my graphics card.  The alarm goes off around 179 degrees and gets over 200 before I decide to turn off the system completely.
    I would like to update my graphics card so I can play my games again.  I am looking at the GeForce 750-TI but I don't know if it will work in my system.  The motherboard is a Foxconn 2a92 (says Soluto) but when I search the HP website, it says I have the H-RS880-uATX but the picture doesn't look like the motherboard in my system.  The current card is about 4 1/2" wide and 8" long and that's the longest that can fit in this case with all the cables.  Can I upgrade this computers graphic card to the GeForce 750-TI and if so, is there a certain one I should chose?  I see there's several versions of this card.  I'm not sure what to look for when it comes to specifications like the PCI Express.
    I know there's a gaming version of the card as well.  Can somebody let me know which one I should be using in my system?  I'm interested in seeing which versions of the 750-TI is compatible, if it is.  Will it work?  I can't seem to find anything about my specific computer model when it comes to this card, so I don't know what I should do.
