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!

I would think any of the latest GTX and AMD will

What kind of graphics card should i get to run final cut pro x on my 2008 mac pro?

What kind of graphics card should i get to run final cut pro x on my 2008 mac pro?

Hello Andres. I own an Early Mac Pro 2008, and have had the blessing of using both FCP X & Motion 5 for some time now. This is a pritty open question and it depends on your usage and the throughput nessesary to handle your work load. I can share what my set up is, & it may help you deside if this is enough power for you or help you move in another direction. Keep in mind that the buss speed and cpu are a big part of helping FCP X more so than the video card, although the video card does come into play here as well. Now if you are wanting to run Motion 5 as well, the video card is Almost Everything, and you need the biggest and best situation here that the throughput on this system will except. I'm running 14 gig of system ram, and the video card is an ATI Radeon 5870. For FCP X, running 1920x1280p footage optimised in pro-res 422, she can move along with some render time nessesary when dropping on the timeline, also filters, transistions, titles ex, have a bit of a laps time to render, but then she runs ok. This wait is not as much of a challenge with this set up as with Motion. I need a much bigger gpu on the video card for this app. Not sure if this computers throughput is really worth the upgrade. Beleive this though, Motion is demanding on using ALL you can give it. It is a Genious App, and it also calls for ALL THE POWER YOU CAN GIVE HER IN A VIDEO CARD. Conclution: if you are just starting which it sounds like, even a smaller video card than this can work For FCP X. Make sure you have at least 8 gig of cpu ram. 12 or more will help here. Also make sure the card is OpenCL compadible.....& this is in the thread above,,,,,,,,

I need an "Open CL compatible graphics card for an early 2008 Mac Pro with 1 gig of V-Ram", any recommendations? Thanks.

Compatible graphics card/s with 06 Mac Pro, 1,1

My graphics card failed in December 13. The technician suggested the ATI Radeon HD 5770 which I purchased (used) from a supplier. It failed 3 weeks ago so I bought another (identical card, ebay, used). Still no joy so sent to the same technician who confirmed that both cards were faulty. So as well as having an issue with the seller on ebay, I more importantly need to find a replacement card.
This is the card I bought (twice):
The same card is hard to find, although there seem to be variations of this card when I search for it, eg the 2x monitor plugs are on top of each other rather than side by side. I assume this type will fit? Or better still, is there a definitive list of compatible cards which will fit my machine, need to sort it ASAP.
Very grateful for any help
Thanks

I am trying to upgrade my graphics card. I recently purchased a Zotac GeForce GTX 760 AMP Edition 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 DVI HDMI DisplayPort SLI Ready Graphics ... . I also installed the above mentioned power supply. I installed both and when I went to start the computer, I got the HP logo blue screen with a message saying to press ESC key for start up menu, however the keyboard was unresponsive. I updated the bios to this using this link http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=cp-114777-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
The hp logo screen changed but that was about it. Using the new card, I could get to the first boot screen, and to the hp logo, but then it would stay stuck on the hp logo. Also if I tried to press f10, ctrl + f or any key, I would just get a black screen and nothing would happen. I've read that this seems to be a common problem with the HPE models and the 700 series cards and have seen no solution. I have already arranged to return the card figuring it's either defective or not compatible with my system.
So after all that, I've tried for the last hour to get a list of compatible graphics cards to upgrade my system, and have not found such a list. I've found lists in the forums for other similar models, but I want to be absolutly sure before I make another purchase and have to go through all this trouble.
Any help would be appreciated and if more info is needed don't hesitate to let me know.

Hi,
There are graphics card solutions posted on this forum. They may be hard ro find but they are psoted. It's good that you checked the BIOS settings in the posted HP links as sometimes they get changed thinking that this will work better. However, in the case for Windows 7 it's just the opposite.
You issue is not a driver problem. Check with the graphics card manufacturer for a remedy. If that particular card is video BIOS enabled for UEFI then you are stuck. You can either return the card or install Windows 8 in UEFI mode.
Another choice would be to try one of the below video cards that run in legacy or UEFI mode.

Mac pro graphics card compatibility

I have a 2008 mac pro works wonderful but the graphics card has recently burned out.
I need to replace it but I want something more modern.
What kinds of graphics cards are compatible with this model of mac pro.
Preferably not something that has a price tag less than the computer.

http://www.barefeats.com has done benchmark tests on just about all the GPU you can use in the last 4 months, easy to find.
The ATI 5770 is your cheapest non-PC card choice, B&H and Amazon also sell Apple model and can save sometimes.

Questions about Mid-2010 Mac Pro graphics card upgrades

Hey guys and gals, so I've been searching the web for any PCI-E Mac and Windows Compatible graphics cards. I currently have the stock ATI Radeon 5770. From the sites and resources I've found, I'm set on the EVGA GTX680 Mac Edition but I also heard about the different cards you can use if you "flash" them. I have a few questions: 1. Are there any more recent lists with compatible cards 2. is flashing worth it and how difficult is it. I am moderately tech savey. 3. what websites are trustworthy besides OWC and Newegg.
Thanks

1st Gen Mac Pro: Graphics Card Needed Urgently

My mac pro is first generation (Model Identifier: MacPro1,1) Not the 2008 Mac Pro.
I have Chipset Model: ATY,RadeonX1900
This card is failing. Pram reset, SMC reset, and/or repair permissions do not work. I cleaned the fan intake area as well... card is still failing (won't wake from sleep, no display on reboot, etc etc).
I have searched these forums high and low. Can anyone please provide me with a good option for a replacement card?
The closest I have gotten is the "Apple nVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT Graphics Upgrade Kit for 1st Generation Mac Pro" which is now discontinued (?)
I am getting really frustrated here, please help!

Hey,
I am having the exact issue with my Mac Pro (2.66 gig first gen intel). I have a discussion (unresolved) that you can find here.
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9666490#9666490
I wonder how many folks are having this particular card die early on them. I think the problem is more widespread than Apple would indicate on the phone.
Anyway, my concern is whether or not the replacement card will be able to use the Open CL (sp?) protocol that will come with Snow Leopard. This will allow the computer to use free cycles on the graphics card to boost processing power. The guy on the phone and at the Apple store I went to was fuzzy on this. The last thing I want to do is upgrade to an antiquated card.
He suggested the Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT which I cannot find (discontinued).
Does anyone know if the 4870 will take advantage of the new Snow Leopard features?
Thanks,
G

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.

Angelica compatible graphic cards

Does anyone have a list or know what graphic cards that are compatible with M3970AM-HP(Angelica)? I'm currently using Asus Radeon HD 7770 Ghz card and Corsair CX600M PSU. I already know the R series and 700 series and up are not compatible. I want upgrade to HD 7800 or 7900 series card.

Hi,
There isn't a list of compatible graphics cards other than what HP may have for the "configure-to-order" models using the same motherboard and BIOS levels.
What BIOS level is your PC running? It must be version 7 or the NVIDIA 7xx models would have worked.
I suggest that you consider the following graphics cards that will work with a 300 watt power supply. Look for models that do not require an auxillary 6 pin power connector.
MSI NVIDIA GTX N750 TI and the MSI GTX N750 TF . Be sure to get the exact model.
ZOTAC also has a NVIDIA 750 model and this NVIDIA 750 model that are compatible back to PCI-E version 1.1. All of Zotac's NVIDIA 750 models are advertised as backwards compatible to 1.1.
The reality is that there is no a guarantee that any particular graphics card will work in any particular PC even if the graphics card works in other PCs or even the same or similar model PCs. Know what the return policy is before you buy.

Mac keeps crashing whenever using Office for Mac (possible graphic card problem)

Mid 2010 15 inch MacBook Pro. Played out perfectly for the first two years. As soon as the warranty expired, things went sideways. Do not know why but whenever I try to use Office 2011 for Mac the entire mac freezes for a millisecond and then crashes. Does this repeatedly whenever I try using Office.

I've done a couple of modifications on it but I dont believe they have affected it to such extent. I believe it might be a defective graphic card but at this point, believing the crash was induced by the usage of Office I have done everything possible short to dismembering the Mac and changing the Graphic Card. I have read somewhere that mid 2010s had problems with graphic cards. If anyone has found a way around the changing of the card, I would be very grateful of their opinion and suggestions.

First, uninstall the software responsible for installing these extensions:
com.logmein.driver.LogMeInSoundDriver          1.0.0
com.squirrels.driver.AirParrotSpeakers          1.8
com.rim.driver.BlackBerryUSBDriverInt          0.0.68
If removing the software and extensions doesn't solve the problem, then you are probably correct about the GPU:
The problem is likely due to the discreet GPU failing. Download gfxCardStatus 2.3 and use it to disable the GPU. This is a temporary workaround until you get your motherboard replaced.

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.

Ugrade first gen mac pro graphics card

I have a first Gen Mac Pro and want to upgrade the graphics card for better performance with programs like C4D and After Effects....any recomendations?

The graphics card can't be upgraded. It is soldered to the logic board. Unless you actually mean a Mac Pro desktop as opposed to a MacBook Pro, in which case I know nothing about Mac Pros.

Mac pro graphics card question

Hello, I am ordering an apple Mac Pro tomorrow and I need a question cleared up.
If I get the 4x ATI radion 2600 HD (4 graphics cards) If I hook up one monitor will 1 graphics card take up 1 forth of the screen or is this meant for people with like 4 screens?
Thank you

One graphics card can run two monitors. Four graphics cards could run 8 monitors. Four graphics cards will not run one monitor any faster than one graphics cards. Unless you plan on running three or more monitors, even a second graphics card will be money wasted.

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