Mac flashed HD4870 in Hackintosh?

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

You could try latest Chameleon RC4 with "GraphicEnabler" set to "Yes" in "/Extra/com.apple.Boot.plist"
