TOPIC

    This article describes the video scan rates for the Apple Accelerated Graphics card that ships with the Power Macintosh 9500 Series computers.


DISCUSSION

    The Power Macintosh 9500 Series computers include the Apple Accelerated Graphics Card, based on the mach64 Graphics Accelerator card from ATI Technologies, Inc. The card normally includes 2MB of VRAM (expandable to 4MB via a 2MB VRAM daughter board) and supports resolutions from 512 x 384 to 1,280 x 1,024. The Monitors control panel reads the display sense codes and may not show every scan rate listed below.

    Following are the video scan rates supported by the Apple Accelerated Graphics card in the Macintosh 9500/120:

    Mode      Resolution      Vertical      Horizontal
    ----      ----------      --------      ----------

    VGA       512 x 384        60 Hz         24.4 KHz
    VGA       640 x 480        60 Hz         31.5 KHz
    Mac       640 x 480        66.7 Hz       35 KHz
    Mac       640 x 870        75 Hz         68.8 KHz
    SVGA      800 x 600        56 Hz         35 KHz
    VESA      800 x 600        60 Hz         37.9 KHz
    VESA      800 x 600        72 Hz         48 KHz
    VESA      800 x 600        75 Hz         46.8 KHz

    Mac       832 x 624        74.5 Hz       49.7 KHz
    VESA     1024 x 768        60 Hz         48.4 KHz
    Mac      1024 x 768        74.9 Hz       60.2 KHz
    VESA     1024 x 768        70 Hz         56.5 KHz
    VESA     1024 x 768        75 Hz         60 KHz
    Mac      1152 x 870        75 Hz         68.7 KHz
    VESA     1280 x 960        75 Hz         75 KHz
    VESA     1280 x 1024       60 Hz         65.6 KHz
    VESA     1280 x 1024       75 Hz         80 KHz

    Note:
    The Power Macintosh 9500/132 computer does not ship with the Apple Accelerated Graphics Card. The Power Macintosh 9500/132 requires a third-party (non-Apple) graphics accelerator for display support.
