Resolved Asus GTX 750 TI - 2009 Mac Pro

[Ih8reno]

Hi

I recently found the aforementioned card locally at a great deal and was thinking of upgrading the PC 5770 card to this. Would this card work plug and play without boot screens of course. It is the version with 2 DVI/1HDMI/1VGA.

If it would work do I need to install web drivers or anything?

Thanks!

You MUST install and select the web driver before you install the card. Otherwise, no display at all.

Would this be the correct page?

Depends on the system version. Here you go: http://www.macvidcards.com/drivers.html

Note: I have a Gigabyte GTX 750 Ti, now using in a PC. In OS X iTunes could not play movies, and some graphic benchmarks crashed. I do not have this problem with all other cards I own (GT630, GTX 680, GTX 770).

So you should check first if iTunes works well with the GTX 750 Ti.

Well I installed the drivers and they are up to date. Only the VGA outputs a picture. The 2 DVI and hdmi do not. I've tried connecting them to various monitors and nothing. Tried moving up and down the graphics card and same result. Anyone have any ideas?

I found a VGA to hdmi adapter and the card displays out to a tv. When using a hdmi to DVI adapter and connecting my DVI Cinema Display I don't get a signal. Can anyone help me out here.

Hello there. I have the same Asus card in my 2009 mac pro. Mac OS 10.11.4, Nvidia driver: 346.03.06f01.

I don't think the hdmi to dvi adapter is helping. Are you able to connect your monitor without the hdmi adapter?

I've not got my hdmi working either, but have no dvi to dvi issues, just no boot screen. Have even connected two monitors (DVI and VGA) at the same time.

Hope this helps,

Razzerman

Only port that seems to work on this card is the VGA. I do also still have the original GT 120 card installed and the web drivers are on. Are you sure it's the same card? Asus GeForce GTX 750ti 2GB DDR5. 2xdvi, 1hdmi, 1vga

ill quickly point out that the GTX 750/Ti cards seem to be quite problematic MVC explained it was to do with how the Video ports where laid out in the BIOS. apparently EVGA cards work best. (you can also flash another BIOS from another GTX 750 Ti with a matching port layout and see if that makes all the ports work. )

Never really learned how to do that. I'm hoping I missed something simple here

Yes, that's that card. I bought mine brand new about 8 months ago. I'm using the dvi port next to the vga port. Maybe try another dvi cable? Guessing what MVC says will be pretty spot on though.

Good luck,

Can I ask what monitor you are using? Perhaps it simply doesn't work with a Cinema Display?

It's a samsung T220HD, about 5 years old-ish

Well I took a shot and read up on flashing graphic cards using nvflash and a rom I found online....the result is I am now using my cinema displays! The DVI ports work fine under OSX but oddly I think the VGA doesn't. When booted into my Windows 10 drive the top DVI functions and the VGA also but the other DVI is not completely functional without some unplugging of other monitors. Well I got what I wanted and still have my GT 120 installed for a boot screen.

Glad to see its mostly working now if @Razzerman Has a card with the same port layout as your card but works perfectly in OS X i would contact him to dump the ROM of his card and flash that to your card. or browse around techpowerups impressive collection of GPU ROMs find one that matches your cards port layout

Maybe I will in the future but now it's functioning exactly how I needed it. Thanks though!

Can you please share the ROM and help me with flashing instructions?
