Konami® Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Does anyone know if the ATI RADEON HD 2600XT that is selling in Newegg is the same Card that some iMac previously had installed? in the iMac side there are flash updates for this cards, can this flash updates work the same way under OSX86? Can OS X load the driver automatically in these cards? Thanks!

Synaesthesia Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Hi, the iMac has 2400 and 2600 Pro, not 2600XT. But I believe the 2600XT works!

Synaesthesia Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Sorry, no, I'm confused now, I'm not sure what you're talking about. I don't think you can install it in an iMac. It's not the same card. I believe the iMac uses a custom graphics card - no upgrading Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/122148-ati-radeon-hd-2600xt-question/#findComment-864448 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synaesthesia Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Yeah, these cards work in hackintoshes - 2600 Pro, 2600XT. I thought you were trying to get it into an iMac or something. No flashing required! I recommend the 2600XT - slightly faster than the Pro! However both work great. @Jizzle, any 8800GT works in your hackintosh. Don't but the Apple one!
