Right-click on the screen and select 'Display Settings'. Program (as described in a previous post), then, after powering off the computer, it did an auto reset to 640x480 resolution for a generic PnP monitor. However, I was able to remove the first monitor it found (an ACER mini) using the device devmgmt.msc I tried searching for a list of supported monitors, but found none.

G4 AGP(450)Sawtooth Mac OS X (10.4.8) 2ghzPPC,1.I just setup a refurbished HP that came with Windows 10, and having the same problem. You will find anything you want to know, and may find a card. To help satisfy your desire to learn all things "flash", go to create a user account (free) and step inside to the forums. So, not just any 9800 can be successfully altered.Īs far as the Saffire line goes, they are fairly popular here in Japan (for PC's), but I have not run accross anyone doing Mac mod's to them. All things being equal, I'd rather pay a fair sum for someone's expertise, and work. No, I didn't flash the card myself- I bought it from a guy, here in Japan, who bought several "bulk" cards, and did the flashing/mods, and offered them for sale (roughly $115 for a new card with mod's).įrom what I found in research, all 9800's are not created equal- the main challenge is knowing what to look for, and then being able to change ROM chips, and flash the Mac ROM into the card (via a PC).
Over all, system performance has been enhanced in my Sawtooth. One more thing, the upgraded card will bring new life to your OS X. For one, it will run at 1/2 speed, kinda muting the point of upgrading. HALO, Doom, Stubb's the Zombie, MTX Mototrax- all my games run great! I sometimes get on several hour gaming jags, and my system has not shown ANY adverse effect from using the 9800 in my Sawtooth. The fan is SILENT, and the card has no fear of overheating. I replaced the stock fan on my 98900 with an ATI Silencer from Arctic Cooling. For the sake of economy (and availability) a flashed 9800 is a good option.Īlso, ALL 9800's have a fan. I am running a flashed 9800 in my Sawtooth. The 9800 is the best you can put in a Sawtooth but not really necessary.Īs far as flashed units go, the PC version of the Radeon 9800 is a very good buy. There are some used ATI 7500's out there as well, much better than an ATI Rage Pro. The ATI 9000 Mac Edition has ADC/DVI so it will work okay, as well, although the ADC port will be inoperative. Therefore, it is best to purchase a LCD that uses DVI/VGA and a video card to match, like the ATI 8500 Mac Edition, DVI/VGA. If you have an older Apple Cinema Display (Clear, ACD) you will need an ADC/DVI converter.
For less than $100 you can find a better video card and it's worth every penny.Ĭaution, the AGP Graphics (Sawtooth) does not have the required wiring for Apples ADC connection. An used (from Ebay) ATI 8500 or 9000 'Mac' Edition would be worlds better, especially at native resolutions, i.e. It may work, if you must, but it will be a marginal system with only 16MB of VRAM. If you use a DVI to VGA converter you lose the objective of buying a digital LCD, clarity and sharp picture. The Rage 128 is a very limited video card for Digital use.

Power Mac G4: Compatible Digital and Analog ResolutionsĪnalog Resolutions (upper end), all 32 bit color Since the Rage spec of 1920 x 1200 is for analog and the Dell spec is for digital, is the fact that there is a match "good" or "doesn't matter"? Would the Rage card's analog output "lock into" the digital pixels of the Dell monitor? Does this question make sense? No such match exists for the Apple monitor. QUESTION: Assuming that I use the VGA connector on the Rage 128, there is a "match" at 1920 x 1200 for the card and the Dell monitor. 1680 x 1050 pixels (optimum resolution).From the Rage 128 (DVI-D + VGA) on the Power Mac G4 (AGP graphics) the supported resolutions (digital and analog) are as listed below.Ĭomparing the 20" Apple Cinema Display (new aluminum one) to the Dell UltraSharp 2407WFP Black 24" LCD Monitor, we have.
