Alternatives to ATI Radeon X1900 XT 512 MB
Hi Guys,
I'm pretty sure my ATI Radeon X1900 XT 512 MB graphics card has failed...
I run MacPro1,1 (2008) Dual-Core Intel Xeon with 2 x 23-inch DVI Apple Cinema Displays. Tonight only one of the screens would wake from sleep - the screen in port 2.
I've tried...
1. Swapping the DVI cables, this results in the non waking screen waking and the waking screen, not waking.
2. Tried running just one screen off DVI port 1 and nothing happened, blank screen but power light on.
3. Tried running same screen off DVI port 2 and still nothing happened, blank screen but power light on.
To re-cap - None of the DVI ports work on their own and only Port 2 works when both screens are plugged in.
So... is there any other tests or checks I can do to confirm 100% it's a faulty card? I've unplugged and done the SMC reset.
Secone part to this - if the card is shot can anyone recommend an upgrade to the ATI Radeon X1900 XT 512 MB?
Thanks
Pete
