    27" iMac displayport Input

    Hopefully something conclusive will come out of that. I got at least a dozen different responses from my AMD support ticket and every time I though I was making some progress with them, a different support rep would answer my next question and it was like starting all over again. Good luck!

    27" iMac displayport Input

    It takes about a second or two after pressing CMD+F2 for the display to switch over. It actually takes Windows a bit longer to detect my keyboard/mouse after using my USB switch, but other than that I have no issues having programs running on both the PC and Mac and constantly switching between...

    27" iMac displayport Input

    I just noticed that Apple posted a support article last week describing Target Display mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3924 They mention using a mDP->mDP cable, which implies the video card on the source computer has a mDP (not DP) output, but that's probably because they're assuming you...

    27" iMac displayport Input

    Looks like someone on the Apple boards got an ATI FirePro V3750 to work with the Apple 24" Cinema Display: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2194066&start=15&tstart=0 Given the compatibility similarities between the 24" ACD and the 27" iMac, I would guess this card works with...

    27" iMac displayport Input

    After several weeks and numerous back and forths with AMD support, I'm giving up on trying to get a reasonable explanation on why the 5770 does not work with the iMac. They are still claiming that due to the way EyeFinity was designed, you need a powered/active adapter to go from DisplayPort ->...

    27" iMac displayport Input

    Not until some active DVI/HDMI -> DisplayPort adapters that can output 2560x1440 hit the market. Belkin is supposedly working on one and I believe Geffen as well. Atlona has one that does 1920x1200 but several people have said it doesn't work with the iMac and that they're working a new rev that...

    27" iMac displayport Input

    That's interesting, but that card is probably out of most people's price range. The fact that it works before the Windows video drivers have loaded (similar to the 4890) shows there is either a hardware issue at play with the 5700/5800 cards or some incompatibility in the Mac OS X video...

    27" iMac displayport Input

    The iMac has to be powered on and booted into Mac OS X for the target display mode feature to work. The ability to use the iMac as a standalone monitor is something built into the Mac OS X video driver, not the hardware itself.

    27" iMac displayport Input

    Yeah that rebate helped make the card a little cheaper. Of course they scam you out of $2 if you want your rebate sooner than 8-10 weeks. I'm currently using the iMac as my main computer for day-to-day work and I use the PC as my video editing box and for anything compute intensive or that...

    27" iMac displayport Input

    It still makes sense if you already have a powerful PC and want to buy the cheaper 27" iMac (w/ the Core 2 Duo and 4670). In my case I had a Core i7-975 w/ 6GB RAM that was in need of a video card upgrade anyway. Spending $170 on a 4890 for the PC made a lot more sense than spending an extra...

    Yep, this is the one I bought: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812270262&cm_re=bytecc_mini_displayport-_-12-270-262-_-Product And this was the 4890 I bought...

    27" iMac displayport Input

    No, the first card I tried was the 5770, which did NOT work and my second attempt (the 4890) DID work. From an earlier post it sounds like TheDanimal unsuccessfuly tried to get a Nvidia 9400GT to work and will be trying with a Radeon 3470 soon. There are a couple of annoyances, but they're...

    Here are a couple pics of my PC (running Win7 with a Radeon 4890) utilizing the 27" iMac as its primary display.

    Yeah, I have Win7 running now on the PC that using the iMac as an external display.

    27" iMac displayport Input

    That's interesting. Are there even any mini DisplayPort equipped monitors currently on the PC market? I only know of Apple ones (24" ACD, 27" iMac, and those CinemaView Apple clones). If not, it would be pretty pathetic of ATI to release a card apparently catered towards Apple monitors but...
