Will a XFX NVIDIA GeFORCE 7800GT VIDEO CARD work in a G5 quad?

I am thinking of getting a new graphics card and saw this one: XFX NVIDIA GeFORCE 7800GT.
I was just wondering if it will actually work in a Mac?
Thanks

Nope, that's a PC card. The ROM file on that card will be designed to work with a PC's BIOS and won't work with the Mac's Open Firmware.
You either need to find a Mac version of this card, or the firmware needs to be flashed with a Mac ROM. More information is available here.

NVIDIA GeForce GT650M video card and CS6 Premier Pro

How can I get CS6 Premier Pro to recognize my video card; NVIDIA GeForce GT650M? Or can it be used at all with CS6 Premier Pro?

Yes, your NVIDIA GeForce GT650M should be suported.
features added or changed in this update
Windows 8 certification
updates for HiDPI display, which improves appearance on computers that use Retina Display, such as MacBook Pro computers
added GPUs to the list of those that Premiere Pro CS6 will use for GPU processing: GT 650M (which is in the newer MacBook Pro computers) and GTX 680Note: Premiere Pro can use either OpenCL or CUDA for GPU processing on the GT 650M. The default is to use OpenCL. You can change this in the General project settings.For details of GPU acceleration in Premiere Pro, see this page. For details of OpenCL features in Premiere Pro CS6, see this page.
http://blogs.adobe.com/premiereprotraining/category/adobe-premiere-pro -web-resources
Here you could activate your Graphic Card and enable the Mercury Playback Engine and GPU acceleration to take full advantage of the CUDA or OpenCL technology.

Will be the NVIDIA GeForce 620M graphic card be compatible with any of Adobe Premiere series?

Recently I adquired the GeForce 620M graphic card, trying to resolve a problem with my Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 software (Premiere suddenly stopped working, and the only problem was the graphic card, the NVIDIA GeForce 210 series I used to have).
In order to fix that, I buyed the 620 series, but in the Compatibilities page of Adobe (http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/products/premiere/cs6/pdfs/c ompatibiltiy-list-premiere-pro-cs6-only-hw-compatibility.pdf), in any of the Premiere series, CS4, CS5, CS5.5, CS6..., appears the 620M graphic card, so my cuestion is if the card is too recent to admit Premiere Pro.
Regards.

Employees and beta test people are not allowed to comment on any future Adobe plans
Any card will work with CS4 to send the display to the computer monitor
Hardware acceleration using CUDA cores is only available for CS5 and later
The official list is only updated as Adobe has staff time to completely test & certify any individual nVidia card... For many others, with at least 1Gig of video ram, use the nVidia Hack http://forums.adobe.com/thread/629557 - which is a simple entry in a "supported cards" file... again, this is ONLY for CS5 and later

Ask in the Premiere forum. On a more general level, though, CS4 will never be officailly supported, only current versions, if at all.

Have a Dual 2.5 GHz PowerPC G5 w Geforce 6200 Video card. Need to replace. Do I need a mac specific, or will a PC version work?

I need a Geforce 6200 Video card. The present card is 'flaky', causing ocaisional freezes on startup. Does the replacement have to be mac specific, or will a PC version work?

A replacement card MUST be Mac specific unless you have the know how to hack the ROM to a Mac ROM (flash in a PC first).

NVIDIA GeForce 7800GT: is just about to pack in - HELP

NVIDIA GeForce 7800GT: is just about to pack in - fan is running like a lawnmower. It is the card that came with original comp.
Have new Radeon 9800 Pro graphics card - which is suitable for my G5 Quad - Machine Name: Power Mac G5 Quad Machine Model: PowerMac11,2 CPU Type: PowerPC G5 (1.1) - problem is - fitting it. The new card comes with Y connection cables - that need to be connected to the cd/dvd drive to get it's power.
MAJOR PROBLEM - the cable sets for the optical drive - are old - and bear no resemblance to the Y cable set for new card in that the power in/out are combined into 1 cable - not a male/female needed??? I only have 1 optical drive bay???
Hoping someone has experienced this when upgrading graphics card - and found a fix for cable problem?

I'm scared to say it - but here Goes - SUCCESS.............
Firstly, maybe My Quad was built on a Friday or a Monday - cos what should have taken a jittery old man like my myself - 30 mins - ended up as 2 hours +. The pics are all correct in the help sections - and the fan is UNBELIEVABLE - however - there is one snag;
Secondly, if u suffer from nerves - get a techie to do it - or at least a computer inards savvy person. It is, fiddely - nerve racking - and needs a few modifications + patience;
Thirdly - if u or someone else does it - _*take off*_ the aluminium cradle - the card sits on - or you'll end up in all sorts of bother - it will need modification once u have the fan fitted so;
Fourthly, the end of the cradle that slides into the support groove - hacksaw/cut off at the 3rd screw = L__here so 2 screw holes left on the supporting front edge and 1 corner hole left - why? -
Finally, my 1st attempt was a failure - because I didn't do Fourthly. The card wasn't fully supported - and must have slipped it's connections - and/or it may have temporarily shorted. It is vital you keep the card supported and level.
My graphics have improved - I kid you not. My Graphics chip now runs at 43-45c - before the new fan >84c+ and even up to 110c at a scary time.
AND IT IS SO QUIET - thank you Japamac - without your guidance and suggestions - it would have been a very expensive - back up computer. Best regards, B

Will Toshiba update Nvidia NVS 2100M video driver for Tecra S11?

Will Toshiba update Nvidia NVS 2100M video driver for S11?
my machine S11 is almost 3 years old. In the first year there were a lot of update for drivers, but in the past 1 year there were no update.
At nvidia's official website there is a driver download page, but if I install the latest driver - it doesn't matter which one - I have several video driver related issue. So I have to downgrade to the Toshiba's nvidia driver.
I will try this one
http://www.nvidia.com/object/quadro-notebook-win8-win7-winvista-64bit-310.90-whql-driver-all.html
So will nvidia or toshiba update the video driver?

Ive got many years of experience with Toshiba notebooks.
I had about four different notebooks in my life and I have noticed that in different cases the same graphic card would be built in different models and series. This would mean that you could use the graphic card driver which is released for such notebook model for different notebook series which supports the same GPU.
Toshiba releases a lot of different notebook series every month and in most cases they give the main points on the new series. If you want to get newest driver for the GPU I think you will need to check the drivers released for other notebook series with the same GPU or you would look for drivers at some 3rd party pages like www.laptopvideo2go.com/

No sound after installing geforce 210 video card in hp pavilion a1430n

I've seen the advice about changing bios sound device setting from auto to enabled, but there is no sound device choice in the bios of this model.
Control panel>sounds shows "no audio device installed"
I installed this new geforce 210 video card (in addition to existing GeForce 6200) in order to support 3 monitors. I previously had a Geforce 5200 FX installed for this purpose, but it died. The new 210 has HDMI output. Some of the responses in this forum credit this as part of the problem.
I only need audio out of the headphones on the computer - not using any external audio like speakers, monitors, etc.
IN device manager, under sound, video and game controllers there is a long list
Audio Codecs
Legacy Audio Drivers
Legacy Video Capture devices
Media control devices
4 entries of NVIDIA High Definition Audio - which all seem identical looking at properties
Video Codecs
All show working properly
Any help or advice greatly appreciated

Hi,
Installing a new video card can disable the on-board sound chip so check the following.
Shut down the PC. Tap away at f10 as soon as you press the power button to access the Bios Menu - the option you want is most likely under the Advanced Tab. Look for an entry titiled 'Onboard Audio'. If it shows as Disabled, navigate to it using the arrow keys, hit enter, use the arrow keys to select 'Enabled' and hit enter again. Press f10, select 'Yes' or 'Ok' and hit enter to save the change.

P7N Diamond and TWO nVidia 9800 GX2 Video Cards

Hello all, I have a simple question. I’ve searched Google and this is one of the few places I’ve found people even discussing the subject of a MSI P7N Diamond motherboard and TWO nVidia 9800 GX2 video cards running SLi.
Here is my system. MSI P7N Diamond, 6 GB OCZ Reaper Memory, Pentium E8500 processor, Asus Silent Knight cooler, two eVGA 8800 GT Superclocked Edition video cards running SLi, Tagan BZ Series 800 W power supply, four 500 GB Seagate Barracuda hard drives running RAID 0 (2 for the C drive & 2 for the D drive), Sound Blaster PCIe sound (came with MB), LG Blu-ray, DVD, CD burner & HD-DVD Reader, second LG DVD/CD burner, GL W2452T monitor and Windows Ultimate Edition 64-bit.
My question is, can I replace the two 8800 GT SC video cards with TWO 9800 GX2 video cards? I know the P7N Diamond can handle Tri-SLi, but can it handle two cards with 2 GPU’s each. I am also considering changing up my two 1 GB Reaper chips with 2 GB chips so I will have 8 GB of RAM. This should make up for the 2 GB of memory the 9800 GX2’s are using up (if, in fact the motherboard can handle the cards).
I was also wondering, if the motherboard CAN handle dual 9800 GX2’s, can my power supply handle it at 800 watts?
And for my bonus question, would I be better off considering going with two 9800 GTX+ cards rather than the GX2's? Would I honestly se a huge improvement running two GX2's as opposed to two GTX+ cards? After all, the 9800 GTX+ cards would be much cheaper!
Thanks in advance for any help!!!
GH

Thanks for all the help BossKiller!!! You’ve been a HUGE help!
RemusM, I have two answers for you…
From the sensible side that should be thinking this through, no. You are absolutely 100% correct, I probably don’t need to run two 9800 GX2 cards. I can play the games I’m currently playing quite well on two 8800 GT OC cards. I should save my money.
And, from the geek side I say heck yes! This will ensure I can run pretty much everything out there and anything made in the near and not so distant future with all settings maxed out!
That said, I wish I would listen to RemusM and my sensible side… but alas it’s a losing battle. Plus, I may be getting the two 9800 GX2’s for $300 ($150 each) . So it’s not that bad. If I have to pay full price for them, the geek side may lose out anyhow.
GH
Oh and by the way RemusM, I LOVE the sig block!! That’s an old Timex isn’t it? It’s not the Sinclair 1000 is it?

MSI Geforce 7800 GTX with MSI Nvidia GeForce 7800GT in SLI?

Hi. I bought the MSI Nvidia GeForce 7800GT a few months ago with the intention of buying a second to run in SLI. Now i can't seem to find anywhere that sells it at a decent price. Originally i bought it from www.ebuyer.co.uk but they have discontinued it.
Could i buy a MSI Geforce 7800 GTX and run it in SLI? They should have the same gpu and the specs aren't that different.

No Video Card Works - 845E-Max

I purchase a new 845E-Max several years ago, and could not find a video card to work on this board. I gave up and put the board in storage until recently (hate to discard a new board). when I place a video card in the board it will not start. when the card is partly removed from the agp slot the board powers up, place card into board it shuts down.
I have tried MSI G4 Ti4200, MSI Ti4400, MSI FX5200, Jaton 3DForce TNT2 4x AGP card. I can remember trying some ATI cards too. I was hoping to put this board together for the holidays and here i am with the age old problem of "no video card works" I know this is a AGP 4X board - Any suggestions ? ? ?
Thanks - Hap

hi I suggest you take the board out of your chassis, assemble it on your desk, then try to slot in your display card. It could be due to your chassis and the motherboard doesn't fit well so whenever you fully slot in your display card, it just couldn't fit in well.

DVI to Component Video Output YpBr- Mac Pro NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT Card

Hello-
I am trying to use my Mac Pro as a media machine, but to do this I need to convert the DVI signal to Component video. The video switch I am using is Component only, so that is the reason why I cannot go HDMI.
What is the best solution? Do they make an adapter that will convert? Is there a graphics card issue?
On a sidenote, will the computer be able to operate with two video cards? I was thinking of having one HDMI output to my main television monitor, and having component video going to my switch for the other monitors located around the house.

What about upgrading to this video card?

It will give more graphics performance, but you don't need it for just displaying video. If you do want extra performance, get the ATI Radeon HD 4870

4x NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT cards in a Mac Pro run below max supported speed

Hi,
We have 4 "identical" NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 256MB cards in one Mac Pro (to support 8 DVI monitors for a Network Operations Center). One card came with the system, the other cards were purchased from Apple at the same time. This was a refurbished computer, so we didn't have the build-to-order option. I put identical in quotes because they seem to have different ROM revisions.
The system mainly shows graphs on webpages and HP OpenView (via X11), so no heavy-duty gaming or refreshes.
We have been running with 6 monitors for the past 4 months with the following monitors:
- 1x 42" LCD with 1280x768, 32 bit color, DVI
- 5x 22" LCD with 1680x1050, 60Hz, 32 bit color, DVI
When I restart the system, at least one of the 22" monitors takes 5 or 10 minutes of flashing on then off (mostly off) before it finally syncs up and shows a constant image. The 42" LCD won't go to its native resolution (can't recall what that is right now), so have to go down to a less optional 1280x768. In the next day or so, I'll be connecting one more identical 22" LCD and then soon after another 42" monitor, but am wondering if they will work. Yesterday, I saw a post about firmware update for this video card (http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/geforce7300gtfirmwareupdate.html). I also noticed that two of the cards have ROM Revision 3008 and two have 3011 ROM Revision of the cards (in System Profiler). I'm not sure yet if this firmware update increases the ROM Revision.
Running the Expansion Slot Utility (/System/Library/CoreServices/) shows that my PCI Express profile is set to Two x8 Lane + Two x4 Lane slots. All slots say that they are running below maximum speed.
The store.apple.com site still shows this configuration as a valid build-to-order, but I wonder if they do something different or extra.
Does anyone else have experience with 4 of these video cards with this many monitors?
Any experience with the Firmware Upgrade that I should know about?
Thank for any insight!

I notice that the flasher is connected to a card with ROM revision 3011, the later one.
I noticed this too.
now, to the slot profiles.
you say;
"The first one that I enter is the one to the right (looking from the back of the system)."
so you mean that the mac is laying on its side and your in the back, and what you call 'slot 1' is to the right? is that correct?
No, the system is upright, but the cards are horizontally seated. Pardon my ascii art, but here's the layout if I look from the back of the Mac Pro:
| DVI DVI ---->> slot 4
| DVI DVI ---->> slot 3
| DVI DVI ---->> slot 2
| DVI DVI ---->> slot 1
So, there are two DVI ports on each card (which is in a slot). I'm not sure which lane is which.
Either the left (as pictured) is lane 1, or the right (as pictured) is lane 2.
i ask because i'm wondering if your reproducing the way the expansion slot utility is graphically portraying it. I'm pretty sure the utility is showing the slots as if the mac is upright and the person is looking into the side of it with the access panel off.
Okay, sounds logical!
if you say that you have two x4 lanes and two x8 lanes, then i'm deducing that your flasher is on an x4 lane, and as it is, one of your x8 lanes has only one lonely monitor on it.
Probably correct.
In my utility window, it is the fourth configuration, so you would have at the moment;
slot4__x4__22" and 22"
slot3__x4__42" and 22" flasher
slot2__x8__22" and empty
slot1__x8__22" and 22"
I think that you have 2 and 3 reversed.
i would suggest trying the third configuration thusly;
slot4__x8__22" and 22"
slot3__x1__22" and empty
slot2__x8__42" and 22" flasher
slot1__x8__22" and 22"
in other words, check off the third configuration in the utility, then
exchange the connections on the second and third cards, leaving the first and fourth cards be.
Okay, will do.
as far as running below max speed, i figure as long as your workload doesn't suffer, then its fine.
Oh, and another question, does it always, always flash when you boot-up?
Do you guys shut down the system every night?
We rarely reboot it, and I'm not the only one that would see it reboot. This system is in a 24x7 Network Operations Center. I just know that rebooting takes a while for the monitor to come up all of the way.
Thanks for all of your help and guidance so far!
David
