What video cards are supported for os X?

What video cards are supported for os X? besides the one apple sells.

There is no official list from Apple, since they don't support hardware besides what they will install. YOu can look up support for certain cards, since people have used 3rd party ones. YOu should be able to come up with a particular cards compatability.

  • What video files are supported by iMovie 10.0.6?  I have to somehow convert .rcproject files to something that iMovie will accept but I don't know what kind of format to change to.

    What video files are supported by iMovie 10.0.6?  What is the best way to allow iMovie 10.0.6 accept my .rcproject movies?

    Hey Sioux Falls,
    If you are looking for information on converting or updating older iMovie projects to iMovie 10, you may find the following article helpful:
    Update projects and events from previous versions of iMovie in iMovie (2014) - Apple Support
    Note: To clarify, a .rcproject file generally only contains links and references to movie clips and effects that would be part of an iMovie project; it usually does not contain any actual video.

  • Which computer screen and video card are best for editing photo's with CS6?

    I edit my photos with Photoshop CS6, and want to buy a new windows computer and screen. What are good screens and do I also have to purchase a special video card? Greetings, Wil.

    I'm personally fond of a new Dell Ultrasharp U3014 monitor I got several months ago.  I have a video card a couple of years old - an ATI Radeon HD 7850 with 2GB VRAM, and it drives the big 30" monitor as well as my two older 20" monitors turned up sideways perfectly, to make a Photoshop editing station that's potent.  All the various Photoshop panels are on the sides, and the entire central monitor is available for the actual editing.
    As far as computers go, I've yet to find a machine better for Photoshop work than a Dell Precision Workstation.  Others will of course have their own opinions.
    It's possible to find off-lease workstations, such as the Precision T5500 system shown above, being sold used on eBay by refurbishers.  Depending on who you choose you might even get a Dell warranty (I did).  Their newer T5600 line is current, which makes the just off cutting edge systems cheaper.  You can score a good deal this way, but you need to educate yourself very well on the options before choosing a model with particular set of features.  Another member on here (JJMack) got a good deal on a Precision T5600 refurbed from Dell direct.  I hope he chimes in and describes his experience with his T5600.
    Some things to think about:
    SSD storage is greatly preferable over HDD storage, and is well worth the additional cost.  Do not skimp here.  Get more than you need.  Consider building a RAID array of them.
    More RAM is better, and much more is much better.
    A good balance between individual core speed and core count is needed.  Too much of one and not enough of the other isn't as good.
    If you want multiple monitors, a single modern video card that can drive multiple monitors is essential; don't try to run Photoshop with multiple video cards.

  • What video cards are compatible with W540?

    Hi all,
    I am new to this community and to laptops in particular. I have a W540 notebook and I am using it both for software development and gaming. Specs programming are OK but I'm lacking in video performance when it comes to gaming.
    Currently there's nVidia Quadro K1100M in my laptop so I was wondering if this can be upgraded to something better so my gaming experience can improve. From what I've read Quadro series are good for the graphic applications like CAD or similar but GTX series are better for gaming.
    Can my laptop accomodate any of the GTX family, like 7xxM, 8xxM or 9xxM series? Or am I stuck with Quadro family? Do those families differ in their size (so that GTX can't fit in the W540, for example)?
    If the dimensions are same, would you recommend to upgrade to some GTX or stay in the Quadro line and upgrade to 2100 or higher?
    I suppose changing the card in the laptop is not that straightforward as in desktop computers (there I have plenty of experience). Would the change involve also removing the cooling block and then mount it back on the new card including the thermal paste application?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thanks Felix, ugh, that is unexpected. So there's no slot for the vcard? I guess I need to learn about laptops some more.
    I guess none of the options is really feasible... Seems just too much. Replacing the whole board seems like overkill, I definitely don't have soldering equipment nor skills (in fact I've heard about this for the first time ) and making it external is just too expensive and cumbersome.
    Well... If I want to play some new titles I guess I need to start thinking about buying a serious gaming laptop and not trying to make one out of the W540
    Thanks again for the insights!

  • What video cards are compatible with my early 2006 Mac Pro?

    The video card currently in my early 2006 Mac Pro (2.6 GHz, dual-core) isn't fast enough for many of the recent games and I'd like to upgrade. I play games both on OSX Snow Leopard and Windows XP via Boot Camp. Is there a list of currently compatible cards available somewhere?
    Thanks.

    No, not really.... but a couple of tips...
    1) when you're pulling the old card out, remember there is a black plastic retainer clip at the inner (front of computer) end. I didn't notice that, and now it's broken.
    2) Get the 5770 from Apple, not a big box store.... those don't come with the power cable you need and may not work.
    3) Plug the power cable into the mother board (?) first. It's fiddly, especially if you have big hands.... then plug it into the card, then slot it into the computer.
    There are demos on youtube, but they all seem to miss out the fiddly bits.....!

  • HT5071 What video formats are recommended for inclusion in an iBook?

  • What mobile graphics cards are supported for either CUDA or OpenCL?

    Howdy.  I currently render on a desktop, but work requires me to render on a laptop - for that reason, they've given me a small budget to pay for one. 
    My biggest concern is that I have access to OpenCL or CUDA rendering - there's easily a 10x difference between rendering with it and rendering without it, and they need the rapid response. 
    I'm wondering what mobile graphics cards can be used for mobile graphics rendering - and if I can do it with Intel graphics. Doing so would make hunting for a laptop significantly cheaper.

    I thought the bottom limit was 1GB for CC, so that must be why the sniffer tells you of insufficient memory

  • What 3D glasses are supported for the Toshiba 40TL838 TV

    Hi,
    I'm looking for support in chosing 3D glasses for my 40TL838 Toshiba TV.
    The TV product page shows 2 models of glasses (FPTAG01G // FPTAG02G) but there's more models available now in stores (i.e.FPT-AG03).
    Can you please advise if all Toshiba 3D active glasses will work fine with my TV or should I stick to these 2 models from the product page?

    Hi
    The Toshiba FPT-AG02G 3D Active Shutter glasses are compatible and supported.
    I guess the FPT-AG02G is a succeeding model generation of FPTAG01G

  • What graphics cards are supported?

    I'm asking this because I didn't fully understand the answers I've found elsewhere.
    I've got a nvidia geforce 8800 gts graphics card. Will premiere pro cs5 take full use of that card, or will I have to upgrade to
    say, a 5850 card?
    Going to edit a 1 hour program shot on canon 7d.

  • What Graphics Cards Are Compatible For 3D?

    I currently have Intel HD Graphics.
    There are...... endless lists of graphics cards out there, so I thought I'd ask here just a few graphics cards that are compatible.  I always get a message that says I cannot make any 3D models because my graphics card is not compatible.
    I have an Intel Celeron N2830 Processor... do I need to change this too?

    Ahh, yes. You can find a list of tested graphics here: Photoshop CC and CC 2014 GPU FAQ

  • Video cards currently availble for 07 Mac Pro?

    Hi,
    I got the "stock" card with my 2007 Mac pro. I never upgraded. What video cards are currently available for an upgrade that include dual DVI ports? I'm going to be upgrading to get better graphic quality when gaming under XP (32-bit).
    Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

    There is no perfect single card for OpenGL (and CL for Snow), and for running games.
    A Radeon 48xx would be ideal, or a pair of 3870s maybe. But see if these help
    8800 vs others

  • What video card w/ specs are needed to drive the  "master" thunderbolt 27" display?

    Figure that thie new ThunderBolt display will also work with non-MAC systems i.e. a PC running WIN 7 64b.  Just curious what
    video card(s) are recommended to use with this new monitor.    Currently using the EVGA "Classified" GEForce GTX590 card to power
    a 30" Apple Cinema Display and the 27" Apple Cinema Dispay - both work great - w/no issues at all.

    Hello,
    I too agree with the points Mylenium stated. We have discussed about multiple computers (desktop & laptop), but people don't like the mess it would cause in terms of file syncronization etc. And it would also mean double effort for the IT to maintain all the software updates etc. in that many computers. We do work quite a lot in meetings etc. and work and collaborate directly with using these programs. So it would mean double work to first make notes in a meeting and then do work in another computer according to the notes. So the decision of using a good laptop is not random but thought.
    Our current laptops were selected in the CS2 era and they have survived well updates up to CS4. I haven't yet tested what CS5.5 would do in terms of performance and usability. The idea of changing and configuring a computer every year according to the latest models and software requirements does not sound good. That's why I stated the point that the computer to be selected should survive at least a few CS updates.
    SSDs. I don't see them pricely at all. We've changed SSDs to the current laptops and they increased their lifetime by at least two years. Incredible increase in speed! I really do recommend SSDs and would not even consider using mechanical drives anymore. In general I don't see the price of the laptop as problem -- it costs a lot more to configure and install the computer than the price of the computer. And if the computer is slow and/or needs to be changed often to a new model, it costs even more in lost employee performance.
    So conclusion up to now:
    - Win 7 64 bit
    - 8 GB memory
    - SSD drive
    - min i5 processor
    - Graphics card? Mobile Quadro NVS 3100M?
    So the current computer model could be:
    Dell E6410
    - Intel Core™ i7-640M
    - NVIDIA® NVS 3100M 512MB gDDR3
    - 14.1” WXGA+ LED Display (1440x900)
    - 8 GB dual channel DDR3 memory, 1 333 MHZ
    - 128 GB SSD

  • What HDDs are supported for Satellite 5100-201

    Hi!
    My disk made some strange noises, maybe it have one foot in the grave...
    Have latest bios 1.9. and original disk at 30GB.
    Have an Hitachi 40GB I tried with, but notebook did not find it.
    So I would like to know what disks and sizes that are supported for that model.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi
    Very strange did you use a compatible 40GB HDD?
    In my knowledge the notebook should be able to recognize the 40GB HDD.
    As far as I know the 30 GB HDD which was installed is a Toshiba MK3017GAP and the computer supports a 20, 30, 40 or 60 GB HDDs.
    I think these HDD should be compatible:
    Toshiba HDD2171B 40GB HDD
    HITACHI G8BC00009110 40GB HDD
    Toshiba HDD2183B 60GB
    PS: The strange noise coming from the HDD could be the beginning of the end
    So make a data backup.
