DynaBass139 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 So I planning on getting a new Intel i7 920 processor, it should be able to be supported in OSX right? I'm also wondering what it the best GFX card that I can put in by Nvidia that has full compatibility. I was thinking the 9800GX2 but I can't find the BFG version for cheap anymore. Anybody have any other ideas, I'm gonna be running dual os so I can play my games in XP. Also any drivers or anything for the Sound Blaster Fatality Sound Card? Thank for the help. Pretty new to the scene. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/150617-intel-core-i7-and-best-nvidia-card-need-advice/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

DynaBass139 Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 Hey thanks for the links they are a big help. I have been doing some searching over the past few days, just haven't found exactly what I'm looking for. But this is a ton better than that. When I've search I've found alot about using the 9800 GX2 DUAL SLI but not much about it being used singlely. Do I just use NV KUSH to get it working or what. I just wanna make sure that everything that I'm buying it gonna be compatible for both OSs, planning on using the OSX side for work (graphic design and photography) and the XP side for Gaming.

JaE-V Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 gx2 will not work, best card you can buy is the 9800GTX+. I currently own one gx2 and two of the 9800gtx+'s. People have gotten the gx2 to work in x48 boards and under but the i7 based systems are a no go Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/150617-intel-core-i7-and-best-nvidia-card-need-advice/#findComment-1069662 Share on other sites More sharing options...
