bandgeek1 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Ok so i have 10.5.7 up and fully functional with a nVida 8400. It works well with Mac OS and Windows, BUT, i have a Radion HD4670 that i use to use b4 i even tried hackintosh. Sadly this card is no supported in Mac OS. After some months, it is a real pain switching graphics cards when i want to game on windows, so i am looking for a replacement. I have not real preference as to ATI or nVida, i am just looking for something that is fully supported in Mac OS that can preform as well as my 4670. Here is the link to the card i own. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814127383 Any input would help. Thanks!

Monkey D. Luffy Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 I have 2 monitors, using both of the DVI ports with a VGA adapter, and they both just have a black screen. Does your monitor have a DVI port? If so, try DVI to DVI on different ports .. if not .. you might be out of luck. If you can find a monitor with a DVI port you might as well try it with that just to find out if you'll still have black screen. At least you'll know that DVI to VGA adapter will not work. Right now, there are no fixes yet so you might have to wait. Good luck.

bandgeek1 Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share Posted December 22, 2009 Well after much frustration, ill stick with 10.5. But, would you have any suggestions as to buying a new card with similar specs as my 4670 that works with OSX (hopefully without much of a headache). The link to my card is in the first post, it is not the same as the new 4670s they have out.
