is the 2600xt sufficient for photoshop cs4 use? I read around and hear its been geared more towards using gpu processing power and if so would the 8800 card be a 'better' one to get or would the standard 2600xt do fine?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a 2009 Mac Pro with a GT120. I'll be receiving my GTX 285 tomorrow morning and was curious if I could just move the GT 120 up two slots and put the GTX285 where the GT120 current is? I only have one monitor which I'll run off the 285. When I game via windows will that setup allow me to use the GT120 as a dedicated physics card? Also, I took a look on mroogle but was mainly finding reference to the 8800 and ATI4870, which is no use to me.

Why the difference in the stats from Apple and the 3Dmark06? Does the 256 vs 512 graphics memory really matter much? I play mainly WoW and iRacing, but may move to newer MMRPGs, and don't want to spend the extra $300 if it's worthless.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI may buy an 08' Mac Pro that comes with a 8800GT is the GT120 a step up at all? if I decide to get a new graphics card (which I really may not since I don't game at all) would the GT120 be an upgrade or would I have to go to 4870? Those two cards are both compatible right?
View 12 Replies View RelatedI am very new to the entire Apple/Mac world (except for an iPhone) and it's time to get a new desktop, and I will be switching from the PC world. That being said, I have followed the various posts related to some of the technical issues there have been with the new generation of iMac's. I will be doing some limited game play, as well as limited photo editing, and some movie editing/making (expecting a baby boy in late May).
I am seriously looking at a couple of new 24" iMacs from an online vendor and there is a $100 difference in the 2.93 with the 640G hd and the GT120 and the 3.06 with 1TB and GT130. Would either of these be a good choice, or is there likely to be an upgrade to the processors in the near future to the current line of iMacs, possibly resulting in a price drop? Again I am new to the Apple way of doing things, so I'm not looking for a difinitive answer to the upgrade question, just an opinion based on your experiences.
Are there any other places to get the Mac Pro ATI 2600XT video card other than the Apple online store for $129?

View 1 Replies View RelatedFinally got my Sapphire 5870 Vapor-X hooked up to my 2009 MP... and been trying to get it set up so I don't have to pull the old GT120 GPU out of the PCIe slot every time I want to boot up in Windows Vista x64 on the 5870. The GT120 still boots up beautifully to OSX with the 5870 in, but I can't seem to get the 5870 as default on WinVista64. My guess is it has something to do with the EFI, as I get the gray "pre-apple" screen when I boot with the GT120, but not with the 5870. The 5870 only starts to send out a signal once the Windows loading screen shows up.
I'm trying to completely (or at least effectively) disable the GT120 in Boot Camp/Vista x64.
Is it even possible without a BIOS?
I've already tried disabling the GT120 "Display Adapter" under Device Manager.
I think it worked at one point, but sometime around the point when I set up Fusion with the partition, Windows Aero turned off and is no longer an option in the display settings. I installed this driver with the modded INF to see if it would do anything, but Aero is still not an option. I also have issues playing some games in Fusion, while they work fine in Boot Camp.

If I have a GTX 285 right now for my Windows Box could I just move the graphics card over to the Mac Pro and use it on both sides of the spectrum of OSX and Windows or am I going to have to buy the Mac Edition of the Nvidia GTX 285.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm tired of the low end GPUs in the MacBook Pros and iMacs, want to game but don't want a PC. I'm considering picking up a second hand Mac Pro and upgrading the GPU - however, I know there aren't currently drivers available for eg. the HD 5000 series. What would happen if I were to install one in a Mac Pro? Would I get no image at all in OS X? Would I get unusable video/flash/photoshop performance in OS X?

I have a Panasonic P2 camera that records on mini dv or a P2 card. I can capture the video from tape but not from the P2 card. I've downloaded the drivers, installed the programs from the CD that came with the camera but it still won't work.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an old dual processor G5 power mac. A few years ago I tried to upgrade to OSX Leopard and after a month or so my system slowly started to go wrong, first problems with emails and safari, and then other miscellaneous issues and finally it completely crashed. I cleared the hard drive, reinstalled everything, and the same thing happened.
I got a local Mac service chap out to look at it and he tried a few things that didn't work and said that there were issues of compatibility with Leopard and the the old non-intel processors and recommended reinstalling Tiger. Which I did and have stuck with it since then with no problems.
I have a Panasonic Camcorder, VDR D160. Neither of my Mac Books, one newer than the other, can recognise it. It does not appear on Apple's list of compatible camcorders.

Is there a stand-alone application for OSX.6.5 (like Microsoft Web Expressions) that is just a browser compatibilty utility? MS Web Expressions gives you options for overlaying, split screening and other useful tools, but refuse to dula boot!
has anyone tried the Asus U3S6 in a Mac Pro yet? If so, which OS X version does it require, and are additional drivers needed? It would be an extremely cheap option to get both USB 3.0 and eSATA 6Gb/s in our machines (would require two PCIe slots though).
