Radeon 9800 Xt White Spots

Replies: 1 | Post Date: January 27th 2007 | User: Kop007 | Forums: devhardware.com
I have a radeon 9800xt. It has 1 vga output and 1 dvi output. I use a dvi to vga converter to output to a 2nd monitor (my big lcd tv). I have been using this setup no problem for a couple of years. However, i am now having issues with 'video' playback. The actual pc image (ie windows) displays fine on both monitors. However, when i play a video file - whether it be xvix, divx a dvd etc or whatever play i use wm classic, wmp etc, i get a video full of 'white spots' on both display- i have attached a photo. This does not occur when the 2nd display isn't selected. So, i don't beleive it's a codec issue. I use the catalyst control center to switch displays - i use 'clone' mode mainly, but have tried the others.

Notebook Ati Cards - Radeon 9800 And Radeon X600 Difference

Say a 256mb radeon 9800, and/or 256 radeon x600, how much of a difference would these have compared to their desktop counterparts. I wanna assume that they would try to just port it into the lappy but i seriously doubt that. So i guess that if the desktop 9800 has 8 pipes, the lappy version wud have 4 to keep it cooler? Same applies to x600 then right?

The other thing is, how does the desktop x600 compare to nvidia. Wats its competitor card? A regular 6800? Highly doubt that. Ill look this one up. I dont know the number of pipes on the x600. . Using sapphire's x600 pro for reference. It is 4 pipes. What the , fx series then?! 5950xt or sumthin in that order?

Radeon 9800 Issue

Pentium iii
1133 mhz
320 mb ram
Radeon 9800 pro *128 mb (is there a real difference between the 256 and the 128 in their performances?)

I know, i know. Lousy computer for an awesome graphics card. Hope fully i'm gonna get a pentium 4 in a few more weeks with 512 mb ram, hopefully even more. I do the system compatibility test in the ati multimedia tool bar. Everything a-ok except some capture driver installation failure, a warning about dma for cd operations may not be enabled and the most important. "Directx components are not installed properly", meaning, it thinks i don't have directx 8. 1 or greater installed(properly). So i downloaded dx 9. 0c, i do the test again. The exact same thing, didn't find the directx 9. 0c. I followed the help instructions, checked the dxdiag, said directx 9. 0c, went to display and only the test directdraw button was enabled. The direct3d was not enabled and the 3 accelerations were not available and the enable buttons were "blocked". Yes, i followed the instructions and went to the ati troubleshoot and the hardware acceleration was on high. What the *** is wrong with my radeon(hey! It rhymes! ). I kept searching for instructions but there was absolutely no answer!

Radeon 9800 Pro Bios Flash

I've been reading these forums for quite some time on overclocking my cpu and video card which all have helped greatly. Now i have a question. Flashing the video card bios, how is that done exactly or is it recommended? I noticed ati tray tools have an option to dump the card bios. What does that do exactly?

My radeon is a saphire brand, i noticed on their website they have a bios flash utility, winflash. Does that flas my card bios to the most recent bios? Again is this something i need to do, should do?

Upgrading From Radeon 9800 Pro 256mb

I currently have a radeon 9800 pro 256mb, i was thinking of getting a more powerful card but i was wondering if i just got nvidia 7800 gtx (or something else thats pretty much top of the line) by itself would it be a big leap over how my computer can handle my current and future games on high settings or do i also need to change my cpu and things. Im obviously not gonna want to spend the cash if i there isn't going to be big improvement in what my computer will be able to handle. Id really appreciate any feedback cause i don't really know anything about computers and video cards. This is what im currently running on:

Amd athlon 64 3200 2. 0 ghz
1 gig of ram
Radeon 9800 pro 256 mb

Ive heard about the dual and quad cards but i dont have the cash for that. So would if i just got one of top cards out right now would it be enough?

I have a radeon 9800 pro 128 mb. And recently random colors and lines start appearing out of nowhere. The odd thing is that on desktop when i right-click > refresh. All of the lines go away only for a split-second and then they reappear again. This is a serious problem cuzz i cant play games and its hard enough to surf the web without getting frustrated. I have pics if you would like to see them. Btw, i have updated my graphics card, windows, motherboard and even put in some new ram as of today.

Ati Radeon 9800 Xt Lock Ups

I just installed a new motherboard and since then i cannot get my 9800xt to run on the pc. It will freeze within 5 mins for sure. I have run the pc on its onboard video and another video card and it runs perfect for weeks. I have installed the 9800xt into another pc and no problems, it has now ran it for over 3 days, so i know the card is fine. So i am almost positive its some type of setting. I have fdisked and reloaded windows and not installed a single program. It ran the windows install fine with the 9800xt but once it got to windows it locked up within 5 mins. I am not able to even have enough time to install the catalyst driver. If i run it with the onboard video or this other cheap card i can run it for weeks. The pc i tested the 9800xt on is a really slow old pc, with no catalyst drivers, just the windows drivers it installs automatically. I have disabled the onboard video when i have tried to run the 9800xt and that didn't change a thing. The only possible thing is i think that old pc is 4x agp and the one i am trying to get it to run on is 4x/8x and in the bios there is no place to change the agp speed. My setup is. Mainboard: aopen ax4sg
Processor: intel pentium 4 3. 06gb
Memory: 2gb 266ddr
Hard drive: western digital 80gb

Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb Issues

I have sent a support ticket to ati, but my experiences with their techies aren't particularly good ones, so i thought i'd post here as well. Here is what i sent them:

When i attempt to play any 3d game, i find that the game freezes and causes either a system hang or the video driver to reset itself (meaning slow performance and no directx support), depending on the game. I have tried reinstalling my catalyst drivers many times, but has never helped. I have also tried to reinstall directx, but that also hasn't appeared to have helped. I have even tried installing a new power supply, and while this solved some problems, it hasn't solved this one. So yeah. I also have no access to another computer with which to try my graphics card, so i'm a bit buggered there. It should still be under warranty if it needs repairing, but i'm a bit skeptical of that due to the high shipping cost and long distance to the usa. But if i have to, i will!

Edit: a couple of other things i meant to ask:can anyone tell me why my install file for catalyst 7. 7 tries to run in dos mode, which, of course, it fails at? The 7. 5 version of my catalyst control center refuses to open, and, on start-up, says the "catalyst control center: host application has encountered an error and needs to close. " Any ideas why?

Radeon 9800 Xt 256mb Video Card Issue

Radeon 9800 xt 256mb video card. My mac dual 2 ghz powerpc g5. My cpu will go into sleep mode but my video card with a fan on it won't. Is it possible that even though everything seems to be running ok i may have still installed it wrong. It was very hard to see sliding the card in for it to make connections. I have the power connector connected via the dvd power cord with a y connector. Also i really don't see any very fast speed change.

Sapphire Ati Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb Or Pny Nvidia 6600 Gt

I was looking at the sapphire ati radeon 9800 pro 128mb and the pny nvidia 6600 gt at tigerdirect.com. Both look like amazing cards. I believe that the 6600 gt is 128 bit and not 256 bit like the 9800. And/or if the 6600 gt has other properties that can account for the difference in ghz i guess. My friend has the sapphire and he says it works great. I was wondering if the 6600 gt is better or worse than the sapphire ati radeon 9800 pro 128mb. The 6600gt is slightly less that the sapphire, i want to know which one i will get the most bang for my buck with. You can check out the cards at tiger direct of you want. I need an expert opinion on this because 230$ is alot of money for me. I kno all my system specs and everything i am torn between these 2 cards.

Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb Or Sli Geforce 6600gt 128mb

My brothers buying a pc off the internet, a fully configured one. Ive sorted all the specs out for him and its looking to be a pretty nice machine. But ive got to the graphics card section and im in confusion about which one to choose, at the moment im thinking between either the radeon 9800 pro 128mb (doesn't say the brand) or the sli geforce 6600gt 128mb (again no brand). If you could tell me which one to go for or a better one for about the same price, although im only looking to spend £110 on it. I would greatly appreciate it ?

Flashing 9800 Pro To 9800 Xt

I'm thinking of flashing my 9800pro to an 9800xt (it has the r360 core although it says r350 in ati tool) the main reason is that i heard that the xt uses more aggressive timings which will help in performance. + I want the temp censor. Right now i have modded a thermaltake spark 7 hs and fan and have it o'ced to 455mhz core/370mhz mem , so heat's not a prob. My noob question is i have winxp formatted in ntfs. Will a ms-dos boot disk still work when i try to flash the card or will it screw up.

White Dvd / Rw Drives

I've been having a hard time finding internal dvd rw drives with a white panel. I don't want to overpay either. Black ones on newegg go for 20-30 dollars. I've checked newegg, mwave, directron, and a few other sites. Anyone know of any other sites that may have them or have come across sites that sell white dvd rw drives? It doesn't matter if it is ide or sata.

Also if it matters the monitor is a 19 inch vizio widescreen lcd tv.

White Line On Laptop Lcd

My laptop lcd developed a 5 pixel high strange line across the screen less than halfway up. From top to bottom it looks as follows:

3 white pixel lines
1 normal pixel line
1 white pixel line

What makes it strange to me is that all of the white pixel lines can change, albeit very slowly. In other words, if i'm displaying a photo if i minimize it the "white lines" become darker, even to the point that when i restore the photo i can no longer see the white line at some points. I thought it would mean that there was some dead transistors but that would mean that no shading/color or change would happen right? Any bright ideas on what is happening and if there is hope at repair/solution?

Printing In Black & White With Only Color Cartridge

Printing in b&w with only color cartridge on lexmark printer, is it even possible? I've been trying all night and, quite frankly, it's getting frustrating. I know hp printers have an option under "printer features" that allows the user to set the printer for use of a b&w + tri-color ink cartridge, or use just a single tri-color ink cartridge, but this lexmark printer does not seem to have such an option. The preferences are so simplistic; they hardly allow for any in-depth preference customization. The support section recommends leaving the empty b&w ink cartridge in even when it runs out, but that still doesn't work. All i want to do is print in b&w using my tri-color ink cartridge.

5970 Black And White Display Port Problem

Basic problem is the when i try to use my 3x dell u2410 (w/ native display port) monitors in eyefinity mode with my sapphire 5970 oc card, whichever monitor is hooked up to the display port will only display in black and white! I am using ccc 9. 12 plus the hotfix. Also, i am using the sapphire supplied mini-dp to dp adapter cable. Any ideas?

Other problem is that i cannot turn utilize crossfire (i have two 5970 cards) and eyefinity at the same time. I can use either one, but not both at the same time, even though the 9. 12 or the hotfix (i forget which one) was specifically supposed to enable this.

Hp Photosmart C7200 Printer Print Black And White Only

I have a hp photosmart c7200 printer. How do you set it to print black and white only?

Answer:-

Go to the printers folder in the control panel. You will see your printer located here. Right click on it and go to printing preferences. At the top there should be a tab that says color. Click on the tab and you now should have the choice to change it to black/white. If that option is not available you can choose grayscale. If you choose grayscale it will print in just black and white and save you from using color cartridges.

I tried connecting my hp pavilion dv6114tx to my tv using a cable (7 pin s-video on one side and rca(yellow for video, red and white for audio), s-video pin on the laptop and yellow rca cable into video input of the tv. I have a nvidia geforce go 7400 256mb graphics card (video bios version =5. 72. 22. 41. Ad). Tried everything including clone, dualview, extending my desktop etc. And see some white lines on a black display on the tv, but could not setup the laptop display onto tv. Moreover now i can't login to normal mode but only vga mode (not even safe mode). Sometimes when im on normal windows boot mode and after the xp logo and startup in progress i see the blue wallpaper with hp logo, and when i quickly press fn+f4 i get the login page, but normally i don't get the login page and fn+f4 only works sometimes, so i have no other option but only to use the vga mode. So help me on the following issues:

1. Log in the normal mode
2.connect my laptop to the tv
