Gulzt Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Yesterday my computer wasn't booting at all. I think I figured an issue, I don't have an ATI Radeon HD 5450, but a Sapphire HD 5450. I read that that doesn't matter, but is that really true? The vendor code & device ID differs. Might I be a using the wrong Rom as a result? If so, How could I find a working ROM for it?

Gulzt Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I returned the Graphic card, unfortunate. Where would I look for a good recommendation for a MacPro 3,1? I'm just looking for an upgrade for my ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 MB. If possible below €180,- I didn't have much luck on google so far. There are alternatives, but always so expensive.. :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuXb Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 5450 HDMI Audio: works fine on the same rig in Win7 64 via the latest ATI Catalyst driver. My Saphire's HD 5450 HDMI audio values are VID 1002 | DID AA01 | SubSys 00AA0100. Do you know of a patched AppleHDA or VoodooHDA for these IDs? EDIT: whooo, here's the guide ..

gavinstubbs09 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I have 10.6.6 installed and I followed all the steps step by step. I have a few problems. When I jumped to 10.6.6 from 10.6.4, the Graphics update wouldn't install at all. Then, after editing my Apple plist file with the graphics 1280x1024x32 it will boot properly, but after the Apple logo on boot it just turns off the display. But the OS is working underneath, I can press F12 and the disk drive opens, so WTH? Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuXb Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Gavin, you're wasting unnecessary time putzing around w. these old OS versions (+ won't encounter motivation in the forum to help u w. these .. esp. not having supplied the slightest info about ur setup).. just install a fresh 10.7.x, or (at the least) 10.6.8, and you might not even have such problem .. (encouraging u 2 b professional here, dig .. ?) ___________________________________ HDMI Audio: if s.b. has time to get it going for the HD 5450 (I don't at this point), here's toleda's manual incl. useful files.
