panzaman Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Hi Guys, I am quite new to the OSX x86 experience, I have managed to install Leo4All 10.5.4 on my PC and everything works fine (Sound/lan/Sata) apart from the graphic card a GeCube HD3850, I have tried different packages, different Natit, adding it to the EFI list etc, I have even tried to install V 10.5.5 drivers, still corrupt video when I "supposedly" get to the OSX desktop, I can boot fine in -X mode and able to delete the relevant kexts but since I really want to get this thing working, I was wondering if anybody could help me in suggesting a budget PCIE graphic card either nVidia or ATI that will certainly work in OSX with full support of QE, I don't need it to play games in OSX just run the os and the few application that need QE acceleration. Thanks a lot. My Specs: AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ MSI K9A2 4gigs DDR2 Gecube HD3850 512mb OnBoard LAN and SOUND 80gigs SATA Hitachi HD.

Nick14 Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=107526 or a ATI 8800Gs they are ¨cheap now Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/131493-best-budget-card-with-quartz-extreme-support/#findComment-932506 Share on other sites More sharing options...
agrajag Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 My impression is that the most reliable cards would be a PCIe 7300gt 256mb or an 8800gt 256mb. Many other cards work of course but these are very well supported and inexpensive.
