the_wizkid Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I just picked up a Radeon 9800pro 128mb on ebay for a awesome price, and I want to replave my crappy ass GeForce 5200 MX 128mb ram. I have CI and QE working fine now with the nvidia card, but im not sure which direction to do with an nvidia card. Any ideas? I know they make a Mac version of this card, but I dont know if that means anything or not. Any place to start looking at what I need to run this card? Thanks!

Marky Mark Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Unfortunately I'm a NooB so I don't even know what CI & QE means, let alone how to fix your problem. I was wondering though how you got your sound to work? I have the AC' 97 codec as well but I can't get sound. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Synaesthesia Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 To Marky Mark Mark Wahlberg : CI and QE stand for Core Image and Quartz Express, two Apple graphics technologies involved in the rendering of windows and UI elements, using Graphics cards. For more info, check out Apple's site. To the wiz, your 9800 is supported, with full CI and QE, although you might experience mouse tearing (from the wiki). I don't know how to go about changing your system from Titan/Natit to Radeon compatibility mode. One sure way to do it is to re-install from the dvd and select the radeon checkboxes. But you might not want to do that. f so, I can't help you as I'm too much of a noob myself. But it must be possible, what with all this kext this and that and terminal commands.

the_wizkid Posted January 10, 2007 Author Share Posted January 10, 2007 http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...pid=100008& This is what I used to get my audio working. I guess it kinda worked out of the box, but only had one channel. I should have my 9800 this weekend. I will see what I can do to get it to work. I think I can put the 10.4.8 jas dvd back in, and it will run the installed again, and I can select the ATI support.

skyfox Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Radeon 9800 has been supported with QE/CI since the beginning (10.4.4), but you will also have some graphics artifacts. Nobody has figured out yet how to eliminate these and keep QE/CI on this card. However, your old GF 5200 does apparently now support QE/CI without artifacts, so you might want to keep using it instead.
