Anyone know of a PCI card that runs native? just trying to get something to run my second monitor so they aren't both on my main card. I'm currently running 10.6.2 and have my video card drivers loading via DSDT mode, so i really don't want to load any other driver files. I have an additional PCIe slot, but figured i'd have better luck finding a old card that runs native over a newer card.

Supported Graphics Processors

 

Any programmable GPU that supports the required Open GL Shader (GLSL) commands is Core Image capable. Apple has used the following graphics cards to support Core Image GPU processing in Mac OS X 10.4 and Aperture, so the following list could be considered an example of minimum requirements:

 

ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 (Mobility Radeon 9600 is also capable)

ATI Radeon 9550, 9600, 9650, 9600 XT, 9600 Pro, 9700 Pro, 9800 XT, and 9800 Pro

ATI Radeon X600 XT, X600 Pro, X800 XT, X850 XT, X1600, X1900 XT

ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT, HD 2600 Pro, and HD 2600 XT

NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 Ultra, FX Go 5200, 6600, 6600 LE, 6800 Ultra DDL, and 6800 GT DDL

NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT, 7600 GT, and 7800 GT

NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT & 8800 GT

NVIDIA GeForce 9400M & 9600M GT

NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 & FX 5600

Intel GMA 900, GMA 950, or GMA X3100

 

Note that any GPU capable of handling Core Image instructions is also Quartz Extreme capable. The requirements for Core Image are greater than those of Quartz Extreme.

 

Almost anything that Newegg offers should work as long as the chipset is on the list of supported devices. Others that have GLSL support should work too with a little hacking of the drivers.
