outis Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 netkas, do you think that the 4670 will work with this method also? they share the same chipset, if i'm not mistaken. thanks for all your work and to others as well, especially for giving us hope that one day we will be able to use our cards in os x. outis Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/112228-what-about-the-new-ati-hd4850/page/14/#findComment-989807 Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidcmc Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 I know there's no support for 4850/4870. But can I boot Leopard with VESA drivers? If I put graphics mode = 1440x900@60 on darwin boot, will it boot with that resolution?

johnniecarcinogen Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 I hope 10a222 gets leaked. I have a 4850 now and it blows my 8600gts away, but no OS X love. I'd put up with beta issues to ditch windows again. Will there be a snow_natit.kext? Or atleast the 10a222 kexts/bundles/framework was leaked since snow kitty is already out there.

scottylans Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 kaidogg: I might not know much about OSx yet but if I'm reading this thread correctly, it sounds like the driver is not complete, a bit buggy and requires a version of OSx which is hard to get your hands on or not final - sounds like trouble, from where I'm sitting. I will wait 3 months and see how it goes.

You would also wait "just" until Mid of 2009!!!! to get Snow Leo for that card ! I think NOT that it will run anytime with 10.5. And of course your wife will be glad to switch the cards back at mid 2009 - only add an GUCCI bag for her to the switch Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/112228-what-about-the-new-ati-hd4850/page/14/#findComment-991443 Share on other sites More sharing options...
