Feedback on Mac ATI X1900 XT Firmware Update
Posted Oct. 2007
Reports last Updated: 6/30/2017 (problem)
(Download page link also updated in 2017)

This page had reader feedback on Apple's Oct. 16th. 2007 release of ATI Radeon X1900 XT Firmware Update. (The original doc had some 'GT' vs 'XT' in some places originally - but corrected as of Oct. 17th.) See below for change info and system requirements.
(FYI: Download Page link here later updated, as the original URL from 2007 resuled in a redirect at apple and 'not a secure connection'.) 'About ATI Radeon X1900 XT Firmware Update..

What's New in this Version
The ATI Radeon X1900 XT Firmware Update will update the firmware on all of the ATI Radeon X1900 XT graphics cards in the Mac Pro. The updater application will be installed in the /Applications/Utilities folder.
Please follow the instructions in the updater application to complete the process.

System Requirements: OS X 10.4.10, Mac Pro'
(Intro lists 'ATI Radeon X1900 XT with 512MB GDDR3 memory')

As usual no real details on any changes/fixes. Reports note the updated version is 113-A52027-202 and also updates the EFI Driver to 01.00.202. (I'm wondering if it fixes an old issue with no video at Windows install/boot reported in the past from X1900 XT owners on the Boot Camp feedback/tips page here - previous workaround was to use a VGA (Analog) display for initial setup.) For those that were curious especially with the 'GT' in the doc, a reader said he checked and saw no GPU/VRAM clock speed changes after the update.

Feedback on X1900 XT Firmware Update: (later reports first)
If you apply this update let me know (news at xlr8yourmac.com) of any pros/cons you see. (Please include system/display info details also. Thanks.)

can you help update my firmware here is my video card info from system information in utilities folder

- Theodore C.'

It's been almost 10 years since anyone reported on this here (and I never had a X1900 card to udpate personally) but some ideas/questions:

• What OS X version are you using? (could the updater not be compatible with later OS X versions since it was released in Oct. 2007 for OS X 10.4.10).
• Firmware Updates typically won't run properly from a RAID volume. (But not sure you are using one.)
• I assume your X1900 is an OEM Apple shipped X1900?

If none of the above is the problem, can you use another computer (different location/router, etc) to download the update?
(I had to change the original URL to the firmware update download page, but you may have used the same one.)
Another problem that's been seen with very old Apple updaters is expired Security Certificates, but that error message is usually that the update can't be verified. (In Feb 2016 a reader sent a Tip for OS X Installer Can't be Verified (due to expired Apple certificate) - setting the system date/time back to an earlier date before the certificate expired.)

' I updated the Firmware on my Flashed X1900 XT PC video card to 113-A52027-202 with no issues.
(I asked if he had ever seen any display artifacts some other X1900 owners had mentioned)
No I have never seen any artifacts in over a dozen ATI X1900 XT or X1900 XTX cards (I flash PC Cards for resale and also make a power cable that goes from the Mac Pro motherboard to the video card). So far I have only updated one X1900 XT card to the 113-A52027-202 firmware and It works just fine. I test my cards on two 24' Dell UltraSharp 2407WFP-HC monitors using the DVI connections.

' I installed this hoping it would solve the random pixel artifact issues I've been having. It didn't help. Here is a photo of what I am talking about: http://www.dganimation.com/CIMG3574.jpg. Here's more info on what I am referring to:
http://echeng.com/journal/2006/12/09/ati-radeon-x1900-xt-macpro-artifacts/
It's the weirdest thing. It only started happening a couple months ago. I suspect Apple needs better drivers for this card. It's not heat related either. I can erase the artifacts with a white window OR setting my screens to a lower resolution. (lower res reduces load on the card, but artifacts have been mentioned by others also.) Annoying! Now I'm just hoping that once I get Leopard and do a complete system enema, the problem will go away.. People in other forums tell me I need call Apple and beg for a replacement X1900 card. My warranty expires in less than 15 days..

'I applied the update to my 8 core, I had to download it as my Mac did not detect it in software update, even after I said 'Check for updates now' (That is nothing new for me, my 8-core won't install the most recent Intel tower firmware update at all, says I don't need it even though I have the very original version.) Once I downloaded the 1900 firmware, it went smooth and installed quickly.

I had no issue before the update and have no issue after the update. I do however think that my thumbs render much quicker in Aperture and they scroll much quicker also. I have 1780,000 images in it (referenced) and it is much faster scrolling the thumbs now for some reason.

' FYI- I am using the X1900XT card in my Mac Pro, but I bought the PC version of the card and flashed the firmware to run on the Mac Pro. Software Update did not (and probably will not) notify me there is a firmware update available for my version of the card. It shows up in my System Profile as an ATI X1900XT however.

(You might want to leave well enough alone anyway if you're not seeing any issues - but the page I linked to has a download link for it also. But not sure if it has any sort of card ID/revision, etc check. Sometimes with firmware updates it's better to leave well enough alone if you're not having any issues as is, especially when the update has zero info on what it changes/fixes. (Not sure what firmware version is in your card but Apple system profiler will show the version and EFI driver version.) The updated version is -202. BTW - a flashed PC model user above said he applied it without any issues.)
I totally agree. If it aint broke, don't fix it. I am curious to know if it's the same with any other readers with a PC X1900XT. I will check my firmware version later tonight. thanks for the response!
(he later wrote)
my X1900 XT firmware: Revision ID: 0x0000 ROM Revision: 113-A52027-140 EFI Driver Version: 01.00.140
seems to be the same as the apple branded product, (someone had to use an extracted Mac X1900 XT ROM to flash the PC model card) but Software Update still doesn't know it's there. I'm not having any issues and no one has really reported any benefits so I'll leave it as is. Maybe there will be some benefit or bug when Leopard is released..

'So I had the same results as the others who installed this update. The Rom was updated to the .202 variant, and the EFI Driver (as reported in Apple System Profiler) was updated to 01.00.202 from 01.00.140. This is probably the reason for the absence of garbled Vista booting. (An earlier report below from a 30in Cinema/WinXP (Bootcamp) user noted the update may have fixed his garbled screen issue and included a link to an apple forum thread on the subject, although a 23in Cinema HD user said he's never seen that issue.) Now it's what I imagine all PC users see, instead of a blocky, pink mess I get the black screen with the green loading bar, sweet..
I checked in Vista for any changes to the clocks and they were the same as before. I will report back in a few days after I have time to see if the shimmering effect has gone away or not, since its so sporadic.

I have a Viewsonic vx2245wm 22'. I previously used this same display with my old Quicksilver Powermac and had no such issues with it. The problem generally doesn't appear, but when it rears its head it is definitely an annoyance. There is no real repeatable thing that makes it crop up, as far as I can tell its random, and is definitely not heat related since games do not seem to be causing any artifacting or such. There are certain images that really exacerbate the problem when its acting up, and I have found that dark greys and near blacks are the tonal ranges that show this. I tried to take a photo of the problem and a screenshot as well to make sure it wasn't a buffer issue and neither evidenced the problem. The camera simply for the fact that it is pretty terrible and the pixels on the screen were too small for it to really show.

I have considered talking to apple about it but am loathe to give up my machine for any period of time since its my main work machine. Anyway, I have read reports online about people getting replacement cards that did not fix the issue.

For the record I bought my machine August '07. The display is running at 1680x1050 (native rez) through the DVI port. I haven't tried switching to the other DVI port or using the VGA cable, mostly because I can't be bothered to try since the problem is so minor and sporadic. I also used the DVI connection with my Quicksilver, for the record. (Did the QS show the same issue? If so it's not related to the X1900 graphics card specifically. Restarting the computer sometimes solves the problem but cycling the monitor on and off doesn't ever solve the problem.

Not sure if you're ever heard of this problem, but I figured I would explain it some in case this crops up with other readers. Great site and thanks for maintaining such a great resource.
(and another email on 10/17)
Sure enough the Shimmery/sparklies are still here. I threw a website up real quick with some pics/videos of them, though they are somewhat hard to make out. Hopefully if one of your readers has found a solution to this problem they can share it with me. Artifact Page http://homepage.mac.com/waitec/artifacts/. You are welcome to post this up.

' I have installed the X1900 Firmware Update. The process was very quick and problem free. I have not noticed any changes or improvements in my limited use of the card with the new firmware (played Command & Conquer 3 for about an hour).
I have not had a problem with a scrambled display in bootcamp. I'm using an Apple Cinema HD 23' display though, so perhaps it's related to his display.
Thanks, Andy '

' This update seems to fix my problems with boot camp video corruption. Until now, booting into boot camp (XP) required 6-10 reboots to get a boot without a scrambled screen.
I'm running XP with a 30 inch Apple cinema display. I'm hopeful that this fixed the problem, but I will have to wait and see if the good reboots continue. There is a thread where we discuss it at: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5578500#5578500

I wondered if it fixes an old issue with no video at Windows install/boot reported in the past from X1900 XT owners (Boot Camp feedback/tips page here had older reports on this - workaround was to use a VGA (Analog display for initial setup.)
Kevan G. (of fix my mac in Scotland) sent screenshots from ASP on his card's before/after firmware versions - Before: 113-A52027-140, After: ...- 202 and the EFI Driver went from 01.00.140 to 01.00.202. (There may have been several different card firmware versions shipped in the past.) Kevan mentioned he's never had any overheating problems but he frequently cleans the X1900's heatsink/fins, although some claimed that was not the cause of their problems. Not everyone has had a problem, but here's a previous page with some ATI X1900 XT Artifacts/Overheating Notes/Tips.

If you work in architecture, chances are thatyou'll have 3D modelling somewhere in your production pipeline,either in design exploration or client presentation. Youmay also be wondering what benefits a more-powerful graphicscard can bring to the party. The SketchUp forums in particularseem to be deluged with 'What-is-the-best-graphics-card-for' questions,this program being a particular resource hog for OpenGL renderings. If you're a Mac user, the choices are, admittedly,limited. Apple offers just three graphics card options inits current Mac Pro line up, starting with the nVidia GeForce7300 256MB (ships with base configuration, $149 per additionalcard) moving on to the ATi X1900XT 512MB ($249 BTO, $399upgrade) and topping out with the eye-wateringly expensivenVidia Quadro FX 4500 512MB (an additional $1649 BTO – atthe time of writing this doesn't seem to be available asan upgrade on the Apple store). All of these cards are capableof running two displays simultaneously, with the top twocards having the ability to run two 30' Cinema Displayssimultaneously. The 7300 can 'only' drive one 30' display,plus an additional monitor. We'll be looking at the ATi X1900 XT, bothin its incarnation direct from Apple (which is destined tofit into the Mac Pro) and in the third-party card from ATithat upgrades the PowerMac G5 line (as long as they havePCI-Express slots). ATi X1900 XT 512MB - Mac Pro Edition Installation The Mac Pro has garnered plaudits for its easeof upgrading, and this extends – partly – tothe installation of new graphics cards. The blanking platewith its two captive bolts that hold the PCI cards in placeobviates the need to go scrabbling around for lost screws,and the double-height first PCI slot accommodates the coolingfan housing on cards like the X1900 without sacrificing afurther slot. The X1900 certainly is a monster when comparedto the stock GeForce 7300 GT, with its white, cast-metalfan housing covering the cooling fan and copper heatsinksneeded to keep the temperature of the high-speed GPU withinoperating limits. It's also easily a third as long againas the stock card and the back end must be located in a sloton the 'rack' in front of the forward fan housing to stopit 'flapping'. In a standard set-up, the card will residein the first, double-height, 16x PCI-e slot. Due to its extracircuitry and cooling fan, the X1900 needs to draw additionalpower from the motherboard, and to this end a flying Molexpower lead hangs off the card, which connects with one oftwo corresponding sockets on the motherboard. This is wherewe encountered the only hassle with the installation: themotherboard power sockets are quite hard to reach and requiredthe removal of our Mac Pro's first two hard drives to makeaccess easier. Even then, the sockets are located just beneaththe front fan housing, making getting a connection very frustrating.And we mean a good 15 minutes worth of frustration. (seeimage 01-02). 02- X1900 installed Solvingthe Noise Once installed, however, it was quickly upand running, with Mac OS X loading the correct drivers withno intervention on our part. But the first thing that grabbedour attention was the noise. Apple has gone to great lengthsto achieve the design goal that the Mac Pro machines be assilent as possible. Having this card in place completelydestroys that goal. It really is very noisy, even at idle.A few minutes cursory exploration with SketchUp also showedthat the card had a tendency to ramp up its fan at regularintervals when orbiting a model, increasing the noise leveleven further. We knew that this was a situation that we couldn'tsupport in a work environment, so we knew we would have toseek alternate solutions. We wanted to stress this card in a typicalarchitectural environment, so we devised a few test filesthat we knew would stress the card's ability to handle complexmodels with textures. These were based on models in SketchUp(www.sketchup.com), a 30-second OpenGL camera flythroughin Cheetah3D (www.cheetah3D.com) and some large scrollingtest in VectorWorks. Having used ATi cards previously in G5 machines,we were looking forward to using the ATi Displays ControlPanel, which allows you to set such niceties as full-screenantialiasing (FSAA) and to fine-tune Performace vs. Qualitysettings on an app-by-app basis. Neither nVidia card offersthis option. The trouble was, the Displays.app didn't seemto be installed on our Mac Pro. A quick trot over to ATi.comrevealed that while ATi Displays.app was available for downoadin its latest, Universal Binary incarnation (version 4.5.9),it would only install on G5 machines. We have no idea whyATi are limiting this set of utilities only to G5 customers,and shutting out Mac Pro users. True, ATi only sells theG5 card – the Mac Pro version has to be sourced throughApple, but still.. However, we found a way around this.
