X800 pro graphic card crashes with any 3d game

Help !!!!!!!!!!!
I have a radeon x800 pro (256) card.  I have tried this card in 2 machines, both with MSI boards (neo range).
The card will work for days and days on the net or watching movies, but after about 3-5 minutes playing a 3d game (FEAR...) the screen just goes crazy !!!!!!!!!!
Any ideas ???????????????????????????????
Thanks

I think you are encountering artifacts with your graphics card which leads to a few possibilities:
1) Overheating.
2) Insufficient Power.
3) Bad Installation of drivers.
4) DirectX not updated.
I would need you to post your full system specs + PSU specs amps for more verification purposes.

  • Which Mac Pro Graphics Card For A Multimedia Installation with 4 Projectors?

    Hi All,
    I'm looking for advice on a multimedia installation I'm working on as part of my thesis. Essentially I need to use my Mac Pro to run a multimedia installation that will use four projectors (Full HD) all displaying as one logical display. I then need to have two separate monitors to control back ground functions of the installation. My Mac Pro is an early 2008 model and intend to use the current graphics card to run the control monitors. So my questions are...
    One of the main things I'm unsure about is if it's possible to output on more than one graphics output and have the computer see it as one display. Any one have experience with this?
    Is there a graphics card compatible with OSX that will output to four displays simultaneously? Keeping in mind that it would have to have an option to see all the displays as one one single desktop so when I go full screen that the application I'm using will fill all four projector screens (I'm not concerned with edge detection or blending as it's not an issue). This display would be running at a resolution of 7680x1080 (4 x 1) or 3840×2160 (2 x 2).
    If there isn't a four port graphics card, is there a similar type of card with just two outputs? Each display would would need to be capable of outputting half the combined necessary resolution each. I have looked at the option of using Matrox TripleHead2Go multiple display adaptors which would work provided I can find a card that will output to two displays while seeing the output as one singular desktop. That would essentially be two ports outputting the resolution above which can then be split among the Matrox TripleHead2Gos.
    Finally, there is the small issue of what ports to use - DP or DVI? My understanding is that Dp can carry DVI so I'm covered in that case as well as DP cables being able to go slightly further in length than DVI? Any advice on this too?
    Thanks,
    Derek

    The Mac already has the feature you need for seamless tiling of multi-display output. It has been built-in to Mac OS since System 4.2 was issued for the original Mac-II. It is called "Extended Desktop". Every well-behaved Mac Application can use it without modification, unless the author chooses to defeat the feature, as was done in some versions of iMovie.
    Based on this feature, you are massively over-thinking the display and interface process. "It's in there."
    When you set up multiple displays, whether on one card or multiple cards, the Mac can create an Extended Desktop. Each display provides a portion of this larger extended Desktop, and the displays are "joined" along the edges you specify. Windows split across displays continue to be updated and scroll as one window, regardless of the parameters of each display. The Arrange pane in System Preferences > Displays is used to re-arrange the Icons of each display to correspond with their arrangement in (real) space.
    When the Mac Pro 2009 came out, its display card, the NVIDIA GeForce GT120, could be installed in multiples in every slot to get up to eight displays. It does not require Aux power connection. I believe it will also work in the 2008 model. It is still available in the Apple store:

  • MBP with Intel Iris Pro graphic card performance

    Hi Fellow CC
    I wanted to know if any of you has experience with the MBP Retina 15" with the Intel Iris Pro graphics card? does it work well with Photoshop, InDesign and some video editing?
    Cheers
    Mica

    The NVIDIA card will help and give your MBPro more capabilities. The point is that Ray-traced rendering is not very helpful or useful on probably 95% of your projects. If you want to use that feature it's going to be slow with an NVIDIA card and much slower if you use CPU rendering.
    What I'm trying to say is that you should buy the highest performing computer that your budget will allow. If AE is a hobby or your are a student you use one set of parameters to calculate that budget. If you make a living with AE then you use another. If you don't think about your budget and don't do some financial planning regarding your purchases then you probably won't be financially successful in many other areas of your life. The point it - carefully think about what your are going to do with what you buy and make sure the sacrifice you will have to make to purchase your tools is worth the productivity the new tool will bring to your job. Only you know that answer.
    You seem to be hung up on Ray-traced rendering. For me that is a very very minor consideration. Performance and capacity is the major part so my laptop is the MBPro R that you see on the right side of the list with all of the upgrades checked. My previous MBProR was nearly the same. I bought it as soon as they were introduced in June of 2012 and sold it to upgrade in July of 2014 when the latest upgrade came out because that is what fit my business plan. The money for the upgrade came from a small portion of my billable time that is funneled into a special account just to keep my tools up to date. Any decision I make to upgrade is based on projections that weigh productivity against cost. You'll have to figure out your own criteria. IMHO Ray-traced rendering is almost not worth considering. The Retina Display and a 15" screen and processor/Ram/Storage capacity and the ability to drive a big external monitor are the major considerations.

  • IMAC 24Inch with NVidia 256 MB graphics card CRASHED NO SCREEN STARTUP HELP

    HI there, wondering if anyone has had their nvidia GT graphics card crash then the screen go black?
    I got home tonight, my ali imac 24inch, looks like its off, I turn it on, everything boots up but no
    screen. Ive shared the screen through my macbook and look at the system info and it says under graphics displays "No information found" What does this mean? Has my graphics card destroyed itself?
    It better not have! HELP!!!

    Actually you may find that you have more success with an AMD\ATI Radeon video card.
    I have experienced that with some motherboards, specifically Pegatron motherboards.
    The problem is that you are delving into the DIY gaming PC realm and  trying to do it with a prebuilt desktop PC.
    Upgrading a prebuilt PC does not always result in a success story. Don't even consider trying to install cutting edge gaming memory modules. That will be a definite disappointment for you.
    You may get lucky with an AMD Radeon HD video card.
    But...You might just run into the same frustrating scenario you are facing today. I wish I had better news to give 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.

  • FP11 - Graphics Card Crashes

    Hi Adobe,
    I'm experiencing regular graphics card crashes when viewing Molehill demos using the latest FP release 11.0.1.3d.
    For instance, these demos cause my entire screen to go black for 5 seconds and crash my whole browser:
    http://www.ringo.nl/projects/away3d/broomstick/LoaderOBJTest.html
    http://blam3d.com/demos/f16uvtest.html
    Any also, I can't watch any videos on Vimeo and half the time, youTube videos won't play for me.
    I've lodged bugs for these issues in Jira:
    https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-7191
    https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-7192
    But I'd like to know from Adobe, will these crashes go away when FP11 is released? There are so many different PC/Graphics Card combinations, will Adobe be able to ensure that Molehill applications won't cause crashes?
    My team has invested a lot of time in a big app that uses Molehill, but we are getting very nervous seeing so many crashes - please re-assure me and my team that FP11 Molehill will be rock solid at the time of release!

    obviously its NOT fine, and stability in a handful of other applications means jack.
    different applications apply different load in different manners to the hardware.
    There is an evident history of improperly configured hardware or actual hardware combinations causing problems in D3D but not in OpenGL, or in OpenGL but not in D3D.
    such is the case with a VIA KT600 and an nvidia GFX card at AGP 8x causing graphical corruption and crashes in D3D that never occured in opengl, or an overclocked i7 that absolutely only ever hung in opengl apps but not in direct3d apps(voltage insufficient).
    The sooner people stop blinding themselves to the realities of just how much a precise configuration matters, the sooner they'll fix their own problems.
    Seriously, if i can deploy flash across a wide assortment of hardware configurations and not get crashes or blackscreens, then its definitely saying about the  configurations of the denialists who claim their system is fine.

  • Questions regarding ATI Rage 128 Pro graphics card in Sawtooth

    Hi, i was checking on the web regarding the specs of my Sawtooth and stumbled upon this page: http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powermacg4/stats/powermac_g4_400agp.html
    My Sawtooth comes with the ATI Rage 128 Pro graphics card. Its indicated the max resolution support is 1920x1200. I was wondering if it is able to support resolution 1680x1050 for wide monitors like the Samsung 205BW? Have anyone tried using a wide screen monitor with the Rage 128 pro card? Does it work well?
    I'm not a gamer and i don't intend to upgrade the graphic card. (Though it would be nice to get my hands on the a Radeon 8500 or 9000.) I mainly do graphic work, and currently using a Samsung 740B monitor set at 1280x1028 resolution.

    Hi, I posted the exact same question in another forum, and i was directed to this link: http://forums.appleinsider.com/showthread.php?t=58395
    So i guess it does work. Though maybe, to a certain extend, like mentioned by one of the forum members:
    "My old Sawtooth 400MHz G4 had an ATI Rage 128. It drove my 20inch Apple Cinema Display (the current design) with DVI. Not the best graphics, but it could do it, and without any hacks too..."
    Hope this helps with anyone having the same questions... : )

  • Disabling the integrated graphics card or updating any software they use that will aid the computer in switching between the two graphics chips.

    So I couldn't activate Assassin's Creed 3 on bootcamp which I shuold have been able todo. I posted it on Ubistoft Support and This is what I got!
    Hello ,
    It looks like your DXDiag report is showing only an integrated graphics card. Being an Apple computer with an i7, it should have a dedicated video card as well. You may need to contact Apple support so they can help you either disable the integrated graphics card or update any software they use that will aid the computer in switching between the two graphics chips.
    So I was wondering how I could disable the intergrated grahics card or update any software that will aid the ocmputer in switching between the two graphic chips.

    The Early 2011 13-inch MacBook Pro has only got one graphic card, and this is the integrated card, Intel HD Graphics 3000.
    Some games don't support this type of GPUs, and it looks like Assassin's Creed is one of them, so unfortunately, you can't run the game in this MacBook

  • Everytime I start up Photoshop, my graphic card Crashes!

    So when I start up Photoshop it starts loading the items and stuff but than I believe it gets to the 3D Stuff or Something when my Graphic Card Crashes. My Graphics Card is an AMD Radeon HD 6410D I've tried to update it but no Updates found for it(It's up to date) So can it not handle this? (The Error message it gives me is The Graphics card has stopped but recovered) Or something like that.

    I went to the site, downloaded the installer, Installed it, checked to see if it still crashes and it does. Oh well... I guess I'll just live with it. Do you know anyway to FULLY Disable 3D Graphics because I believe that's what's causing the crashing.

    Well, although LR5 is a great improvement of speed, the dev. team should try to work on MF files such as from the Pentax 645D… any speed improvement would be much appreciated, especially with dust removal and masking tools.

  • (bootcamp) graphics card crash when playing games

    Firstly apologies if I've put this in the wrong section of the forum... this is the most applicable I could find.
    Having tried to enquire at the good folks of AMD, they told me I needed to see apple. Finding a support email is nigh on impossile - so either that or advice on this issue would be greatly appreciated!
    I have a boot camp partition on a mid 2011 macbook pro - my graphics card is Radeon HD 6750M.
    I have recently been experiencing graphics card crashes when playing games.
    There is no boot camp update available, so I am forced to update the driver manually. Trying to use the automated detection/installation tool on the ATI site resulted in the error "your computer doesn't have a proper graphics adapter"
    When I located and downloaded the mac bootcamp drivers from the ATI site site, and I tried to install these it was unable to detect my existing microsoft C++ distributable or install its own - so the installation failed.
    All advice welcome!

    yeah - it *might* have fixed my issue - or at least it hasn't crashed yet... jynxed it now ofcourse ;p I have acouple of questions though...
    Why did this just start happening - I've played other games and this game before without these crashing issues?
    I'm worried about configuring this fan thing correctly - lots of 'if your hardware gets damages it's not my problem' warnings on the software site. I know there's only 4 options - how do I ensure I select the right one? ie I thought I had a unibody macbook pro but it can't find the second GPU?

  • My Macbook pro didn't come with any restore disks, How can I make some?

    I was just curious, Macs and Macbooks used to include restore disks. My new Macbook Pro did not come with any so how do I create a set?

    Though these instructions are for Mt. Lion, they will work for Mavericks as well.  Making one one of these will free you from depending upon Apple servers if the need should arise.
