muiterz Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Excuse me for the weird topictitle, but I have currently succesful running a 10.8.3 setup with a radeon 6850 videocard and I3770 (HD4000) videocard. They both working great and powering 5 monitors (3 from the Radeon and 2 from the hd4000). I have a dual boot install with windows 8, and I like to play battlefield 3 in ultra settings so I'm thinking about a second SLI videocard 6850. I have a Gigabyte Q77M-2DH motherboard. I have CLOVER as bootloader. I can boot the hackintosh when IGPU is booted first. When I install the Sli setup, can I boot still in the hackintosh setup AND use both cards and 5 monitors?? I have no idea if I can use the radeon 6850 in non sli modus? Hopefully someone can help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3.14r2 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Currently SLI is not supported in OS X. There is some hope that Mavericks may bring SLI support to OS X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maniac10 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 For AMD graphics it's called Crossfire, SLI is for NVIDIA. And so far there's no trace of SLI or Crossfire support in Mavericks' developer release but multiple GPUs work fine on most OSX versions (they're independent). Things may change when they release the new dual graphics MacPro later this year but who knows with Apple 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I can easily boot with a crossfire/sli setup? (and dual boot and use it in windows) and boot in hackintosh and see 2 (or in my case 3 because of the hd4000) videocards?

Maniac10 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 It should work as you said, Crossfire in windows and dual independent graphics in OSX. It works with real MacPros at least: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1319639 http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1128068 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
