Full Version: Do ATi 4670 and 4650 cards work under OSX?

I've tried searching but it doesn't appear anyone here is using these cards... I'm going with a fanless system, and this card only uses between 10W to 40W so is ideal, and isn't far off a 8800gt when it comes to 3d. The 4850 is overkill for me and gets too hot.

Right now I'm using a 7800gt and it works great in OSX, dual screens, QE/QI and everything. I'm using EFI strings for this.

If I upgrade to an ATi 4670, can I still use dual screens or are the drivers not up to scratch yet?

I think they don't, specially if they are using the same core as 4850/4870 series.

Ok then, I'll soldier on with the 7800GT for now, I did hear about more GFX card drivers being released with 10.5.6? Is this true?

It might be. The 48xx series is supposed to be coming eventually. (I'm guessing when Apple updates Mac Pro + iMac lineup wink.gif

The nVidia G94 cards recently started working - 9600GT. There's hope.

Nice, I'll let the drivers come out first. smile.gif
