Hello LastExile,

 

I have a newly purchased HIS Radeon 3850 HD AGP video card. I upgraded from a Powercolor 1950GT in order to squeeze some gaming performance (in the Windows side of things) out of this machine for another year. I saw in your earlier post that you need Beta testers for this card. I would be VERY interested in being one of these beta testers! I really like the card and want to use it for OSX as well.

 

Below are my specs in case you need them. I'm running a very stable system. The video card specs come straight from the System Profiler.

 

CPU: P4 3.0 HT Northwood (Overclocked to 3.6)

Motherboard: Asus P4P800-E

RAM - 2 GBs (4x512 Corsair Sticks)

Hard Drive: Raptor 150

 

Display:

 

Type: Display

Bus: PCI

VRAM (Total): 256 MB

Vendor: ATI (0x1002)

Device ID: 0x9515

Revision ID: 0x0000

Kernel Extension Info: No Kext Loaded

Displays:

Display:

Resolution: 1024 x 768

Depth: 32-bit Color

Core Image: Software

Main Display: Yes

Please contact me when you get a chance. Thank you for your time.

 

Talk soon,

Phil

Hi LastExile,

 

It was nice speaking with you this morning. I have to head out to work and then I'll be away for the weekend until Sunday. I sent my email address and AOL IM name to fleebailey33, so just contact me that way whenever you have a chance.

 

Thanks again!!

Hi,

 

first sorry for starting this old thread again.

 

Is there any ATI HD 3850 AGP already? I'm using megadolon's at the moment but I wonder if th performance could be better.

 

I hope to get a reply as I haven't found much for my HD3850 AGP yet.

 

regards,

bob

I hope this isn't concidered an "Old Thread"...

But I'm adding my name to the ever growing list of those who would love this card to be supported!

 

I've got the current system:

 

Pentium 4 - 2.8Ghz (Fake Multicore)

2 Gb Ram

Intel Motherboard

His Radeon HD 3850 ICEQ Turbo 3

 

So far, nothing works on my little machine and I have resorted to FreeBSD.

 

 

Anyone have a fix?

A Sapphire Radeon HD 3850 AGP 512 MB Driver Package needed

 

I got the card to work via XXX_x86_10.5.6_Universal_Final_V.2 on an Asus P5PE-VM, DualCore Intel Pentium D, 3000 MHz, ACPI x64-based PC, Intel Springdale-G i865G, 2x1GB ram ddr 400, Sapphire 512MB AGP 3850. The installer GraphicDrivers option doesn't have an AGP selection for the 3850, it appears the selection if for the PCI-E version. I tried various drivers of related cards from the selections and so far only "ATIRadeoHD48x0" would work. But the card is limited like yours. From the System Profiler I get:

 

Bus: PCI (Note should be AGP)

VRAM (Total) 256MB

Vendor: Ati (0x1002)

Device ID: 0x9515

Revision ID: 0x0000

Kernel Extension Info: No Kext Loaded

 

DISPLAY:

(Only available) Resolution: 1024 X 768

Depth: 32-bit color

Core Image: Softeware

Quartz Extreme: Not Supported

 

I used OSX86Tools to enable Quartz GL though the card doesn't show up as a device in hardware drivers. It appears as it should in "View PCI Device/Vendor ID".

 

If anyone has a fix for this card on this OS and board please provide the driver or Kext and instructions on how to install it. I have Kext Helper b7, but have never used it.

 

Thank you.
