fighterhawk Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 from what I read so far 10.5.6 won't really solve the 4850 problem. Mostly the hope is that Apple announces upgrades for the mac pro at the next macworld or Ati comes out with osx drivers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

67e6e94cdeb2 Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Going to sell my HD4870. Yesterday ordered a Nvidia 9600GT. I think it will be ok too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drumthrasher109 Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 !!!!!! Why would you do that??? But yeah I just hooked my card via a DVI cable and it works fine, looks sharper too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitch_de Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Going to sell my HD4870. Yesterday ordered a Nvidia 9600GT. I think it will be ok too. I think a good way - waiting too long (10.5.6, 10.5.7,...) gives less money for the sale of the newer used 48XX card !!! Also: Even if the 4870 performes better than NV cards 9XXX - its useless on OS X without Apple drivers! Same to (poor) ATI34XX notebook users - even if they get some nonQE/nonCI working - useless, an GMA950 performes better on OS X! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

67e6e94cdeb2 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 selling my HD4870, caught a Nvidia 9600GT 512MB For me its enough and what is more important, its fully supported Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon42 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Ordered a 2600XT with HDMI out... My 4850 is out. It was catching dust running 1600x1200 in Leopard since I do have time to play. I'd read the performance difference between a top of the line card and an average on Hackintoshes was very small. I guess I won't be able to find out for myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurdFergasun Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 that doesn't make much sense in an open GL desktop situation where the video card is active nearly all the time. I'd presonally rather build a cheap computer with onboard video for $250 than make my main computer useless in games in windows with either a 9600 or 2600xt. 1920x1200 is alot of pixels for a 4870/gt260 to pull off, let alone a entry level card. the whole point of hackintoshin for me is to have the best of both worlds, and not be held back by the obsolete slag that apple continues to push well after it's expiration date.
