4 k upgrade for early 2009 double quad?

I have a tower in early 2008 with a 914361344 MB AMD Radeon HD 7950 card that can display 4 k.  I have shooting and HD video editing, but I want to start working with 4 k.  I use a Vizio HDTV with a VGA or HDMI input for HD display.  I am looking for a 4 k monitor that displays the output of my card AMD, which has a DVI and two small mini-DVI outputs to display 3 signals at the same time.  When the computer starts, it will default to the DVI signal.

I've been shopping on Ebay and saw a monitor Dell 28 '' with a Display Port entry.  I'm not familiar with this port.  Should I be looking for a port DVI display for best film adapter, or should I get a monitor with a DVI 4 k?

Should I consider getting a screen with a refresh rate of 60 hz to 4 k?  Any other consideration?  I know that my Tower is long in the tooth that cost a big consideration.  I'm not going to upgrade to a new computer with Thunderbolt.  Thank you.

Nope, just to get a screen with an entry-no need to worry about DVI or VGA DisplayPort that I don't think that support 4 k, but I could be wrong.

HDMI can support 4 k Maybe, but I'm not 100% sure on that.  Just go with a DisplayPort monitor and you should be fine.  On the single conisderation for Dell, is to wake up the monitor can be problematic.  BTW, I've never heard of a mini-DVI port, but yet again, I could be wrong.

If it were up to me I would buy a screen of 4 k in the blink of an eye--as big as I could get, however, it is not mine.  I thought that 4 k has been at a refresh rate 30 hz, but I'm probably wrong about that, too.  The only thing stopping me now is a lack of money. Storms Yamakasi has a screen of 40 "4K for $550 on ebay

I'm sure you can find some good deals and good quality there. Apparently 4 k monitors greater that it will cost you a lot more... Well there ' tis

  • More high graphics card Possible for early 2009 Mac Pro

    As the title suggests, I have an early 2009 Mac Pro with 12 GB of RAM.

    I want to update my graphics card to something better and I have no idea of what I put in the card. Ideally, I would like to put the last possible graphics card that is compatible for this.

    I don't know what I would look for PCI or PCI - e and what diet I would look for that would support such a computer "arcane".

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    Best wishes

    the 2009 mac 4.1 pro can be upgraded to a number of current spare cards from Nvidia and AMD, but in many cases the cards require custom flashing of the Distributor and custom drivers. You need to buy a card with a distributor of mac because versions "Windows" of these cards will not work out of the box and OS X will not support without 3rd party drivers. This procedure is not recommended by apple that would rather you buy a new mac pro and again I want to say something for $5K, which offers the latest GPU is already 3 years old.

    research on the Web "Mac Pro 4.1 GPU" for more details.

  • Lack of support for early 2009 Mac Pro

    When Apple says that they won't support not early 2009 Mac Pro for Sierra, they mean that they will not correct a problem if one occurs, or do they mean that just cannot run on the computer at all?  I only ask because my Mac Pro is much more powerful than some new laptops that run the upgrade of the OS.

  • What SSD for early 2009 imac?

    Hello

    I have a question to choose the good ssd for my imac 7y/o (9.1) since early 2009.

    I found a few good SSD as the samsung 840 BX100 or critical, but I've also read several times that a ssd sata3 will use sata1 when installed on a sata2.

    And that is why it is better to install a sata2 ssd.

    IS that still the case today? Given that these messages are coming from 2013.

    Or is that I can put in an ssd sata3 and it will run on sata2?

    Kind regards

    Ivo

    SATA III drives that use the Sandforce controller will come back to SATA I speed if installed on a computer that uses the Nvidia MCP79 SATA controller. Samsung does not Sandforce. My Macbook in early 2009 with a Samsung 840 (pre Evo, not Pro) negotiates the SSD SATA II speed, connected to the MCP79.  OWC also still sells SATA II disks, I have one in my late 2009 iMac. I chose this drive, even if it was more expensive because OWC insisted that my model should have the Nvidia controller but in reality it has controller Intel 5 series. I didn't take my iMac except more than once.

    Confused? Yes I know...

  • 10 Windows installed successfully on early 2009 Mac Pro Quad but no network detected

    I installed Windows company 81 on my Mac Pro without problem, using the WiFi Edimax EW-7711MAC of OWX adapter, which went very well under 8.1.

    I have upgraded to Windows 10 company, works very well, "sfc / scannow" gave rise to no error, but the card WiFi has only a beta driver 10 to win, and I can't detect all of the networks. The pilot has been out since August, seems if it was questions, he would have been fired and Edimax support did not have any major problem with the driver beta for me. I had to run commands for the visible card.

    Not sure if this is a gap in the Bootcamp drivers as I lost it scrolling and keyboard Windows functions or the beta for the WiFi card driver is at fault.

    Device Manager sees the adapter, shows in the adapters in the Panel, just no networks are detected.

    Can what version of the drivers for Bootcamp I use with an Early 2009 Mac Pro Quad to work with Windows 10? I saw some "hacks" on the boards, especially for the Macbook Pro. Curious to know if anyone has found a combination of driver that works with this model or as.

    Can you check if WiFi issues on Windows using boot camp 10 solves your problem of WiFi?

  • What is the speed for OS 10.10 on 13-inch, early 2009

    My 13-inch, Early 2009 MacBook runs with OS 10.9.5 basically OK on speed, and it's a very good, loaded with the fine software is useful but old and slow sometimes with all additional popups and deflect and is very nervous about the links I don't want and mail that I didn't delete.

    The system is pushing me to the update/update 10.10 and I continue to resist the Apple push, the fear of losing what I have and I'm really happy with.

    I was looking for the answer among existing similar concerns, but did not get the simple answer and clear what will I win by the new OS 10.10.

    My fear is real or just scared?

    Apple has removed 10.10.5 and 10.11.5 from the App Store, so only your option upgrade is 10.12.

  • Can I put my 24 inch Dual Core IMac (early 2009) 4 GB ddr3 1067 Mhz RAM to 16 GB ddr3 1600 Mhz (it says maximum of 8 GB for this model)?

    Can I upgrade my 24 inch Dual Core IMac (early 2009) 4 GB ddr3 1067 Mhz RAM 16 GB ddr3 1600 Mhz? I read that it only can be upgraded to a maximum of 8 GB but I'm not sure whether that was when they were sold or if the maximum capacity of the computer can take.

    Thank you for your help,

    Jacques Bizot

    You can upgrade the RAM, but 16 GB ddr3 1600 Mhz is NOT designed for your iMac. Please use the RAM specifications correct, iMacs are extremely sensitive to the RAM and require the correct specifications and high quality RAM. Advanced users on these forums tend to recommend Crucial (buy directly from them) or if you are in the USA, RAM from OWC (www.macsales.com).

    Do not buy RAM in your store, the local computer or cheap RAM at best, it's probably a waste of time and at worst it will simply not work.

  • Is it possible to upgrade a Slimline for a core 2 quad s3720y? The LGA 775 socket right?

    Is it possible to upgrade a Slimline for a core 2 quad s3720y?

    On the product information it says that it only accepts the Pentium Dual Core, Core 2 Duo, Celeron, and xenon.

    It would be really nice if I could move my PC to that so I can run WoW at 30 frames per second on the smaller settings of at least.

    It will not be a system bottleneck because I'm adding new GPU, RAM and PSU.

    Probably the Radeon HD 4850 or some other medium to high range GPU.

    Just something better than a Geforce 7100 integrated.

    FYI WoW allows to launch large on this PC, but its getting worse and worse as you get older.

    To tell me if I can upgrade to a Core 2 Quad on this system and perhaps don't pair no a gpu bottleneck in the construction also.

    You don't have to get the right side I can just mod the case cool and fix it.

    And for the love of the Lich King tell me how to clear the RAM to make it run more quickly or some other nonsense like that.

  • Cannot update software on MacBook - white, early 2009

    I'm new to Mac OS.  I only got the iPad and iPhone.

    I bought an antique MacBook, white/early 2009.

    -OS x 10.6.8 4 GB of ram, 107 GB available hard - not SSD disk

    Great, runs fast.  The case seems new, perfect condition.

    It is said there are updates available, for many things, but they won't install.  I have download, the system begins to restart, but remains on the desktop with wallpaper only - no icons, etc.  Manual reboot simply cancels the update process.

    I don't need this notebook, I just want to get some applications or programs that connect with applications on my other devices, but this version OSX is too old.  Therefore, I made a mistake buying this MacBook - only error of $100.  Don't know if I'll keep it.  However, it is pretty sweet.

    Please use the numbers of the BONE, if possible, when you reply.  I don't know the names of the different versions - like Maverik, El Capitan, etc..

    Thank you

    The computer that you identified as MacBook5.2 (13-inch early 2009)

    should be able to run El Capitan OS X 10.11.6 as it is downloaded from

    the Mac App Store online. This is the download of the available system only

    which would be upgraded to the latest OS X.

    Other than this free update, the other option would be to buy a

    old Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.5 redemption code Online

    Apple Store, which would then be used in the App Store for download;

    It would cost $19.99 (buy at the Apple Store; download App Store)

    Don't know what you found or tried to download. Remember if you try

    to use the Mac App Store since in Snow Leopard, you

    Use your own AppleID because all updates and upgrades will bind the

    OS X computer and just bought the software to your AppleID.

    And any subsequent owner of this computer should adapt

    the Snow Leopard 10.6.8 using App Store database. The

    model that you probably won't be able to use the next OSX

    not yet released version; El Capitan is what should be judged.

    If you upgrade to a system later has no install DVD media,

    the owner later would need boot Snow Leopard 10.6.3

    the retail DVD and then update. While they could use their AppleID to

    Customizing the computer for their own use. So to enter the

    install the disc media for the Snow Leopard 10.6.3 system with the

    computer, is a key to set up for future upgrade online users.

    There are other details in the present, perhaps someone can offer those

    because I need to be offline now.

    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Can I update to El Capitan directly from Lion?  I have an iMac 24 "early 2009.  I want to do this?

    I think the Lion upgrade completely to El Capitan.  First of all, can I do this? I have an IMac in early 2009.  Are there reasons why I wouldn't want to do that?

    Well, we can tell you that you should or should not pass, that decision is yours alone.  We can tell you the benefits of upgrading, but ultimately, it is for you to take advantage of them if you wish.

    To upgrade to El Capitan, your computer must be one of the following conditions:

    • iMac (mid-2007 or newer)
    • MacBook (late 2008 or early 2009 or newer aluminium)
    • MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    • MacBook Air (late 2008 or newer)
    • Mac mini (early 2009 or newer)
    • Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)

    So, if you have a 2009 iMac, then Yes, your computer can handle the upgrade.  You would from the App Store.  If you choose, make sure that you back up your system with Time Machine or something like CarbonCopyCloner.  Obviously, the upgrade: a more stable, secure system, and that you use the latest version of Safari, which is more stable and more secure than previous iterations.
