patsphone2 Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Any word on whether anyone has gotten the new GX280 to work in 10.5.2, or 10.5.3? I've got one coming in a week or two, and I'd love to not have to swap video cards every time I change my OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMX-Knuckles Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Probably not working yet. It's different enough from the 8800 9800 that existing drivers won't work. We'll have to wait for Apple to release drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsphone2 Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 Ya, I thought I saw somewhere that it was going to be supported by Apple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbobson Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 chances are unless they're very similar to the previous cards (which they're not) it won't work. I would say the best safe bet for now in terms of performance is a 9800GX2 or a 9800GTX+These are both based on the 8800GT that sells in the Mac Pro the GTX280 is a completely new core, and architecturechances are unless they're very similar to the previous cards (which they're not) it won't work.

It's a completely new core, and architecture and people here are only using the drivers that apple provide.Your safest bet for performance would be to get a 9800GTX+ as it's based on an 8800GT that sells in the current Mac Pro's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclonefr Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 For now it isn't supported on Leopard but it is on Snow Leopard. I think it's just a matter of months they add drivers for Leopard too. Maybe 10.5.5 ? Ya, I thought I saw somewhere that it was going to be supported by Apple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe 10.5.5 ? Good! i'm planning on buying 1 asus gtx 280 for my birthday on september... Prices are dropping fast i see... from 550 eu on the day of exit to the actual 420 eu now... Maybe there will be something out (osx drivers) that will work in that period Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
