Slice Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Sound never works OFB. LAN usually requires additional 3d party driver. TP-link - no idea. Is it Ralink or Broadcom or Atheros? Radeon should work OFB. I just have some doubts about right connectors. Choose DVI or DP. Not VGA, not HDMI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampage Dev Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Make sure to get a ASUS 270X card. There BIOS are working very well under Mac OS X where as the other brands are having some issues with some models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
