Awesome video btw! I just have a question! I have 2 mac pro's in my school office, both have the same graphics card, i dnt know what! is there a way i can take the graphics from one and put it in the other one, so it can have 2 graphics card and connect one display only! does that add the memory and speed! or adding a graphics card just helps to add more than 2 screens! thanks a lot!
if i payed 1500$ for a mac just to get a gt 130 id shoot myself. my 8600gt is still better then that. Even tho the fans so bad it hits 90c+ sometimes so im also awaiting a house fire..
hi guys, i've never gotten into mac, but i've read somewhere that u need specific components when you upgrade them for compability issues and stuff. can you or can you not just upgrade the hardware in a mac like in a regular computer? why not in that case?
Thanks for posting this man. I'd never cracked open my Mac Pro before I had this video card issue although mine was an ATI. I'd had it for only two years. Anyway, I just assumed I'd be able to swap the thing out and couldn't even get the old card out...That is until I found your tutorial and you showed that bracket with the two screws that had to come out. I had just pulled the one loose and thought I'd be fine. Anyway, A buddy sent me a card to replace it with and I'm back up. Thanks again!
oi! the way yr holding that card at 5:20 is a really good way to screw yr graphics card, or any electrical component! lol i appologise if your wearing anti static boots.
There are no drivers for video cards, OS X gets drivers through OS updates, so no hassle as in Windows granted that your card is has EFI firmware.
Blue Radeon is PC and Mac compatible although firmware could be flashed using certain standard PC video cards which is way less expensive. as for card being old... this comes from fat PC kids who's life consists of constantly souping up their PCs without really knowing much about it.
Lol... I laugh at the comments below, So what if its old? I can play crysis 2 maxed on my native res of 1366x768 how is that old? If you dont own the card dont comment on it...
Hey Dave, i know you had that Dell monitor hooked up to your Powerbook at some point. Ever have screen flicker issues with that monitor when it is set to max resolution? My 1.67GHZ G4 will make my external flicker unless I set it to 1280x1024 and not 1680x1050. Just wondering if you ran into this issue.
tie a fucking chain to your computer and make it a boat anchor. I cant believe how proprietary apple is. You cant even use an AMD processor emplace of an Intel. You also have to buy specific video cards to make the damn thing work. Plus everything is so damn expensive for a Mac. PC for the win just because of common sense.
(And heck, I'm planning on building an AMD hackintosh, even though intel stomps them in power, AMD's prices actually make sense. But really, does Sensible prices match Apple's philosophy? Maybe that will explain why they don't use AMD, lol)
any computer will run without video card drivers, because most OS's have a generic driver built in so you can see what you're doing. You just wont have any eyecandy enabled. like aero for windows or quartz for OS X.
@TheTrafficker85 Design doesn't just mean the looks. It means how things are situated on the inside. How convenient and accessible to ports and expansion. And a lot more. And it's a fucking server so how is it oversized?
@SGTBLACK0UT well obviously you didn't get that used the word "oversized" in reference to a cheese grater!? As I was simply pointing out the design from aesthetic point of view is boring to me.
Oh and since when does the size of a system chassis actually mean it’s a server? He seems to be using the machine as a workstation. A server is about the purpose/functionality of the services that runs on a system, not how big the fucking computer is!!
@SGTBLACK0UT erm...really? so it's just about size then huh? Well why do Apple sell Mac servers that currently run full open directory and workgroup management services on Mac Mini hardware?? they are very small aren't they?
Lol, just give it up, you clearly know jack shit about Workstations or servers.
@vajksziget7a Yes, that is the point I was making. It's not really about the hardware but the function and purpose of the machine and services used by the Operating system.
@TheTrafficker85 "I guess by the lack of response you realized you bit off more than you could chew?" No I actually have a life. You know I don't sit on here all day waiting for people to respond to my comments. About your mac mini server comment. The only thing that makes it a server is the OS that's on it, look at PC servers they're big machines, same as the mac pro. And when I say server I don't mean media server which is what the mac mini server is. Have a nice day jerk off.
@SGTBLACK0UT A mac mini is a media server? so clearly you don't know what open directory/work group management servers are as these are some of the services that are used on a mac mini server. As for big PC servers what about the many file servers, exchange mail servers that can be found on very low profile 1U rack server hardware?? As I've said before hardware does not define what an actual server is, its the function/role it serves hence the name server. End of lesson shit for brains!
@TheTrafficker85 lol It's funny how happy you are to talk about this stuff. You actually WAITED for me to reply to your comment. What a fucking nerd you are. You think you've accomplished something don't you? LMAO
@SGTBLACK0UT LOL, You've realized that you can't bullshit someone who actually works in the IT industry so you have to change the subject and try to style it out!! How sad. I'm sure you like to sound intelligent with people who aren't clued up with this stuff but unfortunately you've just exposed yourself as complete retard in the process! Sorry I didn't mean to make you look stupid just though I would School you as you don't really seem to know what you're talking about. XD
You should have gotten the new graphics card taken it out and sold it to recoupe a little of the cost for the new card. Stick it to Mac since everything is really expensive.
Nvidia only makes the chipset not the actual card. They give that job off to EVGA, MSI, Elite Group, Asus, Zotac, Galazy, PNY, and Gigabyte. They are the ones who install their own heat sinks or fans on the card and they add their own outside look.
Hey david, im looking at getting a better graphics card so that i can run 2011 AutoCad for mac. I have a regular macbook. Do you have any suggestions on what card to get? Thanks
Using a passivly cooled GPU in a case like that is risky.
The airflow through the casing is good for the CPUs and the risercards since you have a front fan that blows air through the CPU-heatsinks and the risercards, helped by the rear fan.
Theres a 2nd front fan that supplies airflow to the "compartment" where the videocard and HDD's are.
But it isn't enough. I've seen HDD temps of these machines, and they are HIGH.
please someone answer im desperate if i buy any graphics card will it definatly work in my computer. or are there specific requirments that a graphics card needs to be able to work and is there a specific adapter on the motherboard. Why cant i buy any graphics card? Please PM me Thanks
Hey there guys just ordered my beast hackintosh from macsrpcs.com a friend of mine ordered from them, ran Final Cut HD and this thing screams ordered the ATi 5770 cause I game. They have the latest hardware and they have support for the new 980X 6-Core...they have really great prices too...
@AwwC00L Are you high? Alienware marks their prices up ridiculous amounts, a $2000 Alienware would probably cost a third of that if you put it together yourself.
plug a fire wire into the macpro and the powerbook and boot the mac pot holding control f to boot it as a external drive then install the software from the power book
ive got an imac and dose not have the tower that comes with the mac pro, instead its all in one. am i still able to install this graphics card or are there new ones made specifically for the imac?
ay david wats the diffrents between mac and windows (i think thats how u spell it idk) eny ways idk wat to get wats ur opinion ? comment back soon plz
Where did you get the power cable for that video card? I haven't seen that kind of cable in any graphics card box. Also, where did you go to find "Mac compatible" graphics card?
Hey I'd just like to know. Can you upgrade your Mac Pro with any normal computer component you want? It would make an awesome gaming PC probably if you could use a GTX 480. That'd be sweet!!!
Hey David, at least you can replace your video card easily. The 8800 GS in the 24" iMacs suck. I'm getting my second card in less than a week. My next mac will have ATI. NVidia isnt that great.
why the hell wouldnt you just buy an alienware? you can install linux windows or mac os on it, and it comes with better specs and you dont have to replace the whole computer when something breaks
Hey You Should Have Got The Nvidia Geforce Pny Vertro 9600GSO My Bro Has it And its Really good I have Great Video Quality Goes I Believe its 1080p and it Really Great Search it If you Need a Great Card
Macintosh video card support is pathetically embarrassing, topping out Nvidia support at the GT120 card and offering only a single specialized version of the GTX285. In other words, there are a total of 13 higher video cards available for PC owners, with the Mac 285 being a special purchase. Meanwhile, 400-series cards are already out and kicking ass, leaving Apple 2-3 years behind on technology.....as usual.
ok im getting an imac. I plan to upgrade the graphics card for gaming and editing. Is it possible to upgrade the graphics card on an iMac? I dont see any videos on it.
@lfshannu okay thanks for replying. I want the 1200 imac with 500gb of Hardrive memory. Thats no big deal to me because i have an external drive. BUT I use Photoshop and play WoW in my spare time. Can the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M run WoW at high settings with above 35 fps, and let me use Photoshop easily. I may edit here and there too. Please reply. if you need to look at the lowest end on the imacs. the $1200 one is what id like. I just dont have that kind of money, and im sick of windows.
I had a hd4890 and then I had to get another cheap card because it crapped out. I bought an HD5770 and it just does not have the power. I might crossfire them later.
The main display, when you're using the OS, seems to be your Apple Cinema display, so why is it, on bootup, it was the other screen (the Dell) that had the Apple logo?
when I installed my new graphics card on my G5 I dropped the screw all the way to the back, down to the bottom of the computer. I went to trusty home depot and they had some kind of grabbing thing that got it out. Lesson learned LMAO

Where did you get the power cable for that video card? I haven't seen that kind of cable in any graphics card box. Also, where did you go to find "Mac compatible" graphics card?

Hey I'd just like to know. Can you upgrade your Mac Pro with any normal computer component you want? It would make an awesome gaming PC probably if you could use a GTX 480. That'd be sweet!!!

Hey David, at least you can replace your video card easily. The 8800 GS in the 24" iMacs suck. I'm getting my second card in less than a week. My next mac will have ATI. NVidia isnt that great.

@hyperactivecalvino
Macintosh video card support is pathetically embarrassing, topping out Nvidia support at the GT120 card and offering only a single specialized version of the GTX285. In other words, there are a total of 13 higher video cards available for PC owners, with the Mac 285 being a special purchase. Meanwhile, 400-series cards are already out and kicking ass, leaving Apple 2-3 years behind on technology.....as usual.

@ShotsDesignsHD no you cant upgrade the imacs grafics. the cards are soldered to the logic bord
lfshannu 1 year ago
@lfshannu okay thanks for replying. I want the 1200 imac with 500gb of Hardrive memory. Thats no big deal to me because i have an external drive. BUT I use Photoshop and play WoW in my spare time. Can the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M run WoW at high settings with above 35 fps, and let me use Photoshop easily. I may edit here and there too. Please reply. if you need to look at the lowest end on the imacs. the $1200 one is what id like. I just dont have that kind of money, and im sick of windows.

The main display, when you're using the OS, seems to be your Apple Cinema display, so why is it, on bootup, it was the other screen (the Dell) that had the Apple logo?

when I installed my new graphics card on my G5 I dropped the screw all the way to the back, down to the bottom of the computer. I went to trusty home depot and they had some kind of grabbing thing that got it out. Lesson learned LMAO
