APPLE 30" DISPLAY-WHAT CARD?! ATI?

[andersonson]

RIGHT! I HAVE TAKEN MY CARD OUT AND TAKEN PICTURES OF THE SLOT IN MY MACHINE AND OF MY CARD. SUPRISINGLY, THERE IS NO TEXT ON THE CARD TO SAY WHAT MAKE AND MODEL IT IS ALTHOUGH I'M PRETTY SURE IT'S A RADEON CARD. HAVE A LOOK AND SEE WHAT YOU THINK! I'VE HAD TO PUT IT ON MY MUSIC WEBSITE SO PLEASE HAVE A LOOK VIA THIS. THANKS A LOT! GO TO - Nijinxky on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads

It's here. But I dunno what's the question?

He wants to know what card, if any, would pump out HD to his 30inch monitor, that is compatable with his current motherboard.

Hi, just browsing and came across this thread. I have had exactly the same problem and think i have finally found the solution. I spent a huge amount of time trying to get answers from Apple but to no avail. In the end i decided to go it alone. I think i have finally found the solution. I have just ordered a ATI Radeon HD 8670. It took a while to find one but got it finally. Shall i let you know if it works for me ?? Fingers crossed !!

Forgot to say, DO NOT BUY the ATI RADEON X800 XT (MAC EDITION) i've tried it and it DOES NOT WORK !!

[andersonson]

yeah, if you look at my pictures on the myspace page in the graphics folder, you will see what my graphics card looks like and the slots in my machine. i know that the top 3/4 are pci-x but have no idea what slot the bottom one is. this is what my graphics card slots into. i've tried with apple and i just get offloaded onto other members of staff who suggest buying things with no thoughts as to that i have a budget and 'just trying' cards is an expensive way of going on! so please let m,e know how you get on. mines a 2gb 2004 g5 model. if you can let me know that would be grand! cheers

[andersonson]

ok, i've just ordered a ATI Radeon HD 8670 from america on the net. it was the last one going from america for $255 as i couldnt get any from europe. it is non refundable but hope it works like you said. i will let you know the results within 6 weeks when it arrives! cheers again.

Oh, for that, he just needs to buy a Mac-compatible graphics card that supports dual-DVI output.

30" resolution is just mad. I'm running 3 way SLI n still cant play some 2 year old games at max eye candy.

Dual DVI doesn't mean having 2 DVI connectors on the gfx card. The ACD has a single DVI plug that plugs into a single port on the gfx card.

It just has to be a Dual DVI single connector. Most ppl have the wrong idea n think dual dvi means the monitor needs to be plugged into 2 DVI connectors.
