Viktor Jaughn Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Hey. I'm interested in installing OSx86 on my system, and although I know there aren't currently any drivers to support my ATI Radeon HD 4870, I do have an nVidia GeForce 7800 GT lying around that I intend to use. However, there's no way I'm getting rid of my 4870, so would it be possible to have both installed and use, say, EasyBCD to designate the 7800 GT as the appropriate card for booting OSx86 with? I'm very eager to get this dual-boot up and running so any help would be much appreciated. Thanks for reading. P.S. I wish to have this operate on a single-monitor setup. My monitor features two inputs--one for DVI, one for D-sub--and has the ability to easily switch between sources. I know it's safe, as I currently use it for switching between my PC and Xbox 360.

candykane Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 well it could work aslong as the mac knows what card to look for as primary tryed it with 2 ati cards once but that did not work (X1900xtx and a hd 3870) osx can see 2 cards but only 1 card gets a working monitor there are theards that tell about 2 working niviea cards but there always identical/ look for the sticky 2 gfx cards in the video sub forum Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/132742-geforce-7800-gt-on-top-of-radeon-hd-4870/#findComment-941200 Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkshdk Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 That's exactly what I wanna do too... And the answers I got was not really helpful, because if it's like candycane says, and it wont recognize the right card, then it's futile...
