Tim Leferink Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Hello people at InsanelyMac, I recently got iDeneb v1 working on the following setup: Mobo: ASUS P5K-SE CPU: Intel C2D e4500 @ 3.17Ghz Memory: GEiL value ram 667mhz 2x1GB Graphics card: ASUS X1300 256MB Only my problem is that I can't use the DVI port or dual screen functionality. However I can use CI/QE/OpenGL now. But because I use FCP it's nice to have my second screen working as well. So I decided to get a new card, but since the HQL on the wiki is pretty old I have no clue on what card I should get. I' m not a gamer so a 8800GT is a little overkill, but most card's below that are an option. Who can tell me witch card's work with: - CI: Hardware Accelerated - QE working - DVI support - Dual display functionality Does you setup do this, then please post your spec's. Tim P.S. sorry for my English, I' m dutch sorry, apparently I double clicked 'Add Topic' , can a MOD please remove one?

candykane Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Hi Tim i have a peak ati 3870 x1 and it works perfect i got dual screen working 2 x dvi did a clean installation (10.5.2 leo for all v3) just selected my card in hardware driver list. and its working like a charm. system specs Asus P5w deluxe 2gb dd2 800 (geil) Q6600 Peak ati 3870 512 MB x1 i got mine from marktplaats its a second hand. It works great. just keap in mind in the future GPU (video card ) is going to be more importand in doing the calculations for video processing and every one knows ati gives a beter picture than Nvidia. in dutch hoi tim ik heb een ati 3870 in mijn systeem zitten en die werkt prima ) gewoon dual schreen draaiend. 2 x dvi dan gewoon een clean install gedaan met leo for all v3 daar de driver van mijn kaart geselecteerd. en na installatie werkte alles als een zonnetje. asus P5W deluxe Q6600 2GB geil ddr 800 peak ati 3870 512MB je moet niet vergeten dat video power gebruikt woord door osx bij foto bewerkingen en ook bij video bewerking. tevens in het volgende OS gaan ze juist de power van videokaarten nog meer gebruiken. ik heb gewoon op marktplaats een kaartje 2de hands gekocht. ik was niet veel geld kwijt. tevens beeld kwalitijd is van ati altijd beter dan die van nvidia. succes met jagen naar een kaartje Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/121207-witch-graphics-card-to-get/#findComment-858371 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a litte grapics power ready is always nice .
