Now this must be a silly question, but many people who game will be going out, if they haven't already, and purchasing a new Direct X 10 card. I am waiting to see if the newest flavors from ATI are a lot better than Nvidias products. But speculation aside, I am soo happy that I have my 7800GTX working like a champ in OS X, and I don't want that to change when I decide to upgrade in the next 2 months.
So here is the question, do you think there will be support for these new cards in the near future?
In addition, my MOBO does SLI, so could I just put the 7800 in the lower slot, and hypothetically put the dir X 10 card in the top slot and have OS X boot off of the other PCIX slot? I think it will work because there are bios setting to change the priority of the slots. Let me know what you think.
PS.
MACFUSE is the {censored}. Running at full steam at 4.0ghz soo much faster on this new HD

I have SLI board and 2 x PCIE Nvidia cards. OS X does not boot at all if I have both cards installed. Works fine with one card installed and dual monitor.

Man that sux. Is there any hope? Or is it all too much? The Mac Pros have 4 PCIX slots right? But they are all 4x or something ridiculous like that.
To all the Hackintosh gods, there is a calling

Multi Video card support in OS X. That would be sweet. Ohh well I am happy with what I have. Its friggin sweet man.
Thank you again for everyones help to make this awesome beast possible

Well, it probably isn't a priority. Getting SLI working may take quite a lot of work, and the gaming community on OS X has never been that large. Instead of buying two cards for SLI, buy one better card, and then upgrade later to a new-generation card so that it will be still faster than the SLI setup, produce half the heat, half the noise, and you'll have modern features.
