tha_toadman Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 SAPPHIRE Radeon x1600 XT works Andras Kenez, I already have one of these cards but does DVI and sleep work?? I'm curious becuase I was thinking after researching this site that I'd need to get an ASUS card instead..?? I really need DVI (and sleep would be nice too). Thanks. **nevermind - was in the 'drivers' subforum and found that "Tom Schara"s post (page 48, bottom of the page) answered my question - think i'll be pawning off my sapphire x1600xt now for an Asus board instead** Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/21069-videocard-asus-or-sapphire-x1600pro/#findComment-141727 Share on other sites More sharing options...
avian Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Ive got the gigabyte X1600pro (fanless) card. After using editing a few kexts according to borisbadenov's directions (found on this forum), everything works. Including -: * DVI Output * Any resolution, automatically detected and set (found my monitor and set 1440x800 for it as it should be). * Sleep mode * QE/CI acceleration. I couldnt be happier. The card was quite affordable, and the fact it hasnt got a fan is just a bonus.
