olav Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I'm looking for a new graphics card to be used with snow leopard, preferably low power as it will act as an AFP server 24/7. It would be really nice if it was possible to get something like the Quadro NVS working in snow leopard: http://www.nvidia.com/object/product_quadro_nvs_295_us.html Any thoughts, or recommendations of graphic cards?

CTJoyce Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Are we talking hack hardware or is this for an actual apple system?

olav Posted September 1, 2009 Author Share Posted September 1, 2009 In this case I am looking for a graphics card for a hackintosh server, but actually I am also looking for a graphics card for a mac pro (they should use fanless as default) that I'm using as server as well. I think both systems will have the same compatibility issues with non "apple" certified graphics cards, maybe it's easier to get something non standard to work on the hack. Except the Quadro NVS, I have been thinking about 9500GT or HD 3850/70, but probably it's harder with the ATi cards in snow leo (have only seen 48xx cards work so far).

Did you manage to get the NVS295 running on your hack? I stuffed it into my Gigabyte P55 Mobo and all I get is a black screen...

olav Posted November 27, 2009 Author Share Posted November 27, 2009 I was speculating about buying one, but never did, I saw someone posting about how to do it in the hardware compatibilty charts at osx86project if I remember correct. I think they got it running with NVkush.
