graphics card

Hey guys, I had another thread going on a GPU replacement however I wanted to ask a slightly different question here. Since OS X Snow Leopard is the last OS to have Rosetta (enabling me to use many PowerPC application(s) and providing nostalgia), I would like to dual boot with El Capitan (latest...

I've a MacBook Pro 15" Unibody (Mid 2010) and I recently opened it up to clean its insides from dust, and as I was removing the optical drive, I realized just how much space it takes up. I was wondering if there's anything I could do with it, besides installing a second hard drive, which is of...

Hey guys, I have just acquired a Mac Pro 2008 model which I believe has a Radeon HD 2600 XT inside it. The problem is that it will power on but then shows nothing on the display. My first bet is that the GPU has died or the ports on the GPU have died (tried with other monitors and will try with...

Hi all, recently I bought a mid-2012 MacBook Pro 13". The laptop runs great! its very fast for basic and some intensive tasks, but as we all know, these laptops are not great at gaming. I didn't buy the laptop to game, but I do like doing it a bit on the side. Anyway, to get to the point, can...

Recently my Late 2011 MBP AMD graphics chip has died. It will not boot into macOS. It gets about half the Apple logo, then disappears and stays on a white screen. The fans also get really loud and the laptop itself gets really hot. Is there any other possible way to disable the graphics card...

Hi, what is the most updated graphics card i can install on my mid2010 27" iMac? Is it possible to install a better graphics card than what its already using (ATI Radeon HD 5750 1024 MB)?

Hello I am wondering how i would go about installing my nvidia gtx 1060 in my mac pro 2009 5,1 I have read some stuff online for nvidia graphics card about installing web drivers but i haven't found much for the 1060. I am also hoping to get the card working in win 7 from bootcamp> Any comments...

I have a iMac 2011 27", EMC 2429, 2.7GHz, MC813LL/A, and I'm having problems. First one was the display shutting down randomly, likely due to the common problem with this iMac that Apple did recall here. After days of research, I found the most common fix (after the recall expired) was to...

Hi, About 7 months ago, i bought a 3gb 'Sapphire radeon HD 7950' that had been flashed for mac to replace the Radeon HD 2600 (256mb). It was all working properly until one day i booted it up and it booted to a glitched orange screen with lines on. i waited 3 mins and it didn't do anything. I...

I just thought I'd start this thread to announce a recent accidental discovery I made today -- a (possibly) PERMANENT solution to disable the dedicated video card in a 2011 15" or 17" MacBook Pro! Essentially, what needs to be done is the ME (Management Engine) region of your system's SPI ROM...

I have a PC Quadro that has been flashed, and my 1,1 recognizes it, but is says 'Quadro FX 4500 256MB', but this is a 512MB card. Is the missing memory likely to be a problem with the flashing, or could it be something else?

I just bought a used Macbook Pro 2014 15" (totally happy), but as I was connecting my screen I realized that there was blurry/bad graphics all over the place. After some searching, I can see that people is complaining about this, but did not find any solution. Does anyone has a solution to this...

So I just got a Mac Pro 1,1 in a trade for some stuff I don't need or want. I'm going to be upgrading my CPUs with a pair of x5355's (or maybe 5365's if I'm convinced its worth it) and I noticed the GPU is lackluster. Can anyone recommend a GPU upgrade for it? Something that will work good...

hi all. I was hoping people would be kind enough o share their opinion on better than what I currently have ( gtx770 4GB ) for editing and working with 4k footage . Mine seems to be getting a bit long in the tooth now and doesn't seem to want to co-operate as much. I am shooting large 4k (4gb...

It's a nice bump up from the 1GB 5770 I was previously using :) - Mac Pro 1,1, Piker's flash to 2,1, dual quad Xeon CPUs, 20GB memory, SSD, Yosemite (soon to be El Cap, I have it booting fine on USB.) GPU was an XFX ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB, no boot screen, now a Sapphire AMD Radeon HD 7950 3GB...

Hi, I've got a Mac Pro 5,1 (mid 2010) and I've put an Nvidia GTX 770 in it and I'm trying to get it to work in Windows 8.1. I got into the installation yesterday by booting off of the W8.1 DVD with the 770, but I had to exit it because I had multiple drives plugged in and it wouldn't let me...

These are the specs of his iMac. He's interested in upgrading certain aspects of his computer so that it can run Photoshop & Lightroom much faster. We have the opportunity to snag some Macbook Pro's below. Are any of these going to be better than what he has now? If not, what should/can we...

Hello, I am trying to fix one of my dads work computers. It is a Mac Pro (Early 2008) that came with a ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT GPU. The mac has a problem in which it will not always display and requires a hard reset in order for it to display on screen. An example of this is when fresh installing...
