sandmanfvrga Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 EDIT: This was about my Radeon 7000 but I can now get me a X1600 AGP. I need to know if the AGP X1600Pro is fully supported. I want a card that does everything in OSX Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/21684-updated-is-the-x1600-agp-fully-supported-in-osx86/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwprod12 Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 As far as I know, no driver for the 7000 (that works) exists. Dunno what to tell you. Maybe a card that's actually supported?

jackt283 Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 If you want proper graphics, save up your pocket money for a few weeks and buy a wintel graphics card. If you got the right hardware (PCI-E, maybe AGP...) the x1600 is a sweet deal, you should be able to pick one up for about $100 off ebay. The 7000 sucks. Prolly better just to use your onboard graphics than that thing... I had a 7500 and it ate {censored}. Maybe Okay for basic OpenGL, but for anything a bit bigger, like quartz extreme, it dies.

DrJaymez Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 I wonder if it is using the correct driver. Which driver is osx86 using? I wonder if getting your deviceID into the kext for the "correct" driver and adding that to your boot.plist might work nicely. The 7000, while not a gaming card, should be more than up to the task of running osx86.

gwprod12 Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 1002 is the vendor ID for ATI. PPC OS X is capable of driving a radeon 7000. OS X 86 isnt.

sandmanfvrga Posted July 12, 2006 Author Share Posted July 12, 2006 BUMP I changed my topic since the Radeon 7000 isn't needed since I can get my a X1600. Just need to know if AGP works like PCIE Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/21684-updated-is-the-x1600-agp-fully-supported-in-osx86/#findComment-143765 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takuro Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 I have a Sapphire ATi Radeon x1600 Pro AGP w/ 512mb It works amazingly well with OS X. There are only three problems: 1) VGA output only works. No DVI 2) System profiler shows it as a 256mb card 3) Even with the new AGP driver, it shows as PCI Keep in mind: all three of the above problems don't affect the hardware performance in the least. Quake looks amazing and everything still looks sharp and clear, even with the lack of DVI.

sandmanfvrga Posted July 12, 2006 Author Share Posted July 12, 2006 Kick ass. I am going to get the 256 version, don't need 512 and from the reviews on Newegg it runs hot. I use vga anyway since I only have a 20 inch crt but it looks great. So EVERYTHING supported? What about the drivers? EDIT: I read the Wiki and I see it is fully working and such. The max resolution is 1280x1024? Hell that is fine. That is all I run. On the patch that the wiki talks about, is there a how to?

gwprod12 Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 ... I'm pretty sure getting the AGP version to work would be similar to getting the PCI-E version working...

sandmanfvrga Posted July 12, 2006 Author Share Posted July 12, 2006 I know and Takuro said that above. *looks up* I just looked in the wiki and I see to X1000 kext but I just wonder exactly HOW to do it. I guess dig some more. *sigh* Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/21684-updated-is-the-x1600-agp-fully-supported-in-osx86/#findComment-143897 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloggerman Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 I REALLY wanna know if it works out for ya man, I'm thinking of building another machine, specifically for OSX, but I can really only afford a fancy AGP card, and maybe some better cpu cooling to overclock the hell out of this 2.4c beasty. LET US KNOW IF DVI WORKS WITH AGP TOO!!!! Go for it. Sry for the CAPITOLS, but it works.

Fossie Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 This card is amazing in osx86. I dont have any problems such as mouse tearing which people get with other cards. I have the AGP sapphire x1600 pro. Just a question: Which motherboard do you have? because if you have nforce 3 you may get slowdown problems. Here are some links for you which will help when you get it: http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?showtopic=19806 For Graphics support http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?showtopic=20139 If you have nForce 3 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/21684-updated-is-the-x1600-agp-fully-supported-in-osx86/#findComment-144009 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloggerman Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Damn, no DVI??? I really need that, as my monitor only has DVI/HDMI inputs.

Damn, just read the WIKI, no DVI at all, just VGA, why o why........ :hysterical: Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/21684-updated-is-the-x1600-agp-fully-supported-in-osx86/#findComment-144369 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandmanfvrga Posted July 13, 2006 Author Share Posted July 13, 2006 Well man, better than nothing. I mean FULL support graphically like QE, CI, and OpenGL. I know DVI is wanted but some, but I think when the Mac Pro's come out then we could see new ATI drivers. That would be awesome.
