seanmcgpa Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I'm told the AMD 6870 is the fastest "OOB compatible" card for Hackintosh gaming. I do see some people saying the nvidia 480 works, others that it does not. Benchmarks shows the 480 faster - but I really want a "buy it on Newegg, plug it in and no fussing around for 2 weeks getting it to work with Lion" experience. Can anyone recommend the fastest working graphics card for Lion? I have a Sandy Bridge setup. Mostly play World of Warcraft in 2560x1600. Thanks.

demonfox13x Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 5870 is faster than the 6870. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic-Viper Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I'm sporting a nVidia 580 GTX. Depends on your definition of "OOB". all I had to do was ad the model# (in my case, it was 1080) to the nVidia driver. Portal 2 ran like a champ at 1920x1080 maxed settings.

yumyum13 Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I also use the GTX 580 and it runs great. You could probably use a 590, but I think users can only get one of the two GPUs to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
