Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

FCPX 10.0.3 will not work with my Mac Pro ???

Here are my specs:

ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT:

Chipset Model: ATI Radeon HD 2600

Type: GPU

Bus: PCIe

Slot: Slot-1

PCIe Lane Width: x16

VRAM (Total): 256 MB

Vendor: ATI (0x1002)

Device ID: 0x9588

Revision ID: 0x0000

ROM Revision: 113-B1480A-252

EFI Driver Version: 01.00.252

Running: OS 10.6.8


and I can't run FCPX. Message says: Graphics configuration not supported

End of story !

Apple guy (Steven) told me to buy a new computer ! WHAT THE F....!

When I asked if I could simply change the graphic card, he said maybe

Where is Steve, now that we need him...

So what gives ? New card (but choice is rather limited: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4728?viewlocale=en_US) and if so which one cause none on this list seems to be available anywhere

or new computer ? ouch !

or good old FC 7 ?


btw previous FTP 10.1 is working fine but according to Steven, it's only because Apple made a mistake and that it should have never worked in the first place. There was a problem with graphic card recognition in v.10. All fixed now so nothing works ! (what a fix...)

PowerMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Get the one that is made for a Mac. Your asking about a card that is for Windows PC.

It's real simple. Either get a 5870 or a 5770, but make sure it is a Mac card. The 5770 has more than one port but only one DVI and two displayports. You might need an adapter (Displayport to DVI) to connect to your 2nd display.

Otherwise get the 5870.
