 Hi guys, got a good bargain to trade my 5770 for for 4850. The card arrives tomorow, and i am anxious to know whether to expect grueling trial and error stuff or smooth sailing with 10.6.3?! 

 

It's this card!

Is there a chance that PC EFI V 10.6 will take care of it all?! 

 

Tnx in advance ;)

I used all ready PC EFI V 10.6, but i changed it fore Chameleon_2.0_RC4_Asere 1.19 one !

 

I've almost the same card, mine is just "Golden Sample" ( GPU=700MHz-Memory=1100MHz)

 

Mine is working Ok with OSX 10.6.3

Some modifications are needed before restart:

 

1)LegacyATI4800Controller.kext in /Extra

http://www.kexts.com/view/113-legacyati4800controller.html

and apply

2)

10.6.3 exotic patch pkg from netkas

 

http://mirror.netkas.org/QE%20CI%20Exotic%...ds%2010.6.3.pkg

 

I use also the ATI rom Bios injection feature !

 

download your bios from here:

 

3)

http://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/29850/G....512.080813.bin

 

and put it in /Extra

but rename it ati_9442_1002.rom

 

4)

and edit com.apple.boot.plist in /Extra

like this :

 

VideoRom =/Extra/ati_9442_1002.rom

 

also i specified

5)

GraphicsEnabler=yes

Graphics Mode=1920x1080x32 (depends of coarse which screen definition you want !

 

My screen is connected on 2de DVI connector !

 

Hope this helps !

 

Good luck
