Hello,

 

first sorry for maybe posting in the wrong topic tree.

The question is more about exchanging graphic cards in general.

 

Here´s my question:

 

I wanna buy the ATI HD4670.

I use 10.5.8 and 10.6.2 and win7 on triple boot on one of my maschines. the gfx is nvidia gts8600

the other OSX system i use is dual boot win7 and 10.6.2 with gfx hd4770. unluckyly in osx only 1024x768 or so is supported, no gl ...

 

Now I want to exchange the hd4770 with the 4670 of a friend of mine.

 

CAN I JUST TAKE OUT THE OLD GFX AND PLUG IN THE 4770 AND 10.6.2 and 10.5.8 WILL WORK (I guess in 10.5.8 the 4770 is not even supported)

 

OR DO I HAVE TO DO SOME "PRE-WORK", before changing the GFX.

 

 

Thanks for your help

 

and merry merry Christmas to everyone
