agentofkaos Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I've built a couple of Hackintoshes but haven't been able to find an answer to this one. When building my new rig I figured that the best compatibility would be if I got a 1gb Radeon HD4870 and flashed it to Mac specs. My ideal result would be not to have to add any 3rd party kexts etc. It didn't work- the machine won't start up without aty.kext installed. Can anyone post a link or a short explanation about why this is faulty logic? Would buying a real Apple video card achieve this aim? thanks Kaos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mushishi Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Slafh away but you will still need to use a injector because you still miss what all real macs have.. The Apple EFI to understand the gfx... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could try latest Chameleon RC4 with "GraphicEnabler" set to "Yes" in "/Extra/com.apple.Boot.plist" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
