Wich Card?

[Julian0o]

Hi at all,

 

i need a card for my new Hackintosh. It will get a Gigybate GA-x58-UD3R wich an i7-950 on it. And 3x4GB 1333Mhz Ram.

 

The Hackintosh will be for Videoediting on Final cut and Photoshop. So i dont really need a good videocard.

 

Here is what the card should have.

 

Cheap

Silent (Passive if possible)

DisplayPort

and easy to install if possible

 

What about the ATI 5670?

I didnt find a guide to install.

 

Thanks!

So far, it's looking like (at minimum) an HD5670 (if DisplayPort is a must).

 

This is the lowest-price product I've seen (in the US) that fits the bill:

I'm considering it because of the low price (I don't need DP capability; however, I don't even have resolution detection, let alone QE/CI, with my HD5450. The HD5670 takes care of all that, without requiring additional power.).

 

Tthe only minus is that it eats two slots.

my hd5670 works very well on windows but i can't get it working on osx yet! i hope to get it as soon as possible...

Powercolor 5750 Green with passiv cooling

 

 

Works perfect in 64Bit with kabyl Bootloader, in Windows also.

 

I get 35.31 pt in Cinebench OSX

Thanks! The 5750 is a good choice!

 

Is there a tutorial for installation? I cant find anything!

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=231768 its not a tutor as its a testing topic but thats what he is using. 

 

 

i would watch out with ati cards as the install can be very hard. (although i have a 4770 that makes my experience rather biased)

I use the 5750 with GraphicsEnabler=Yes, 64Bit on 10.6.5

 

Simply use Kabyls Bootloader. Also youve to add the DeviceID to AtiRadeonX300.kext. Works perfect

Hi Aleister,

 

I'm thinking of getting a PowerColor Go! Green HD5750 but there seems to be only 2 places in the UK that sell them and their websites are hellishly slow. Where did you get yours from?

 

The other option is the Gigabyte Silentcell 5750

 

http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-p...spx?pid=3402#ov

 

But it has a non standard output config of 1x D-Sub 1x DVI-I and 1x DVI-D and HDMI. I need support for 3 displays. The Gigabytes are easy to get in the UK but I don't want to get something that causes problems.

 

Cheers

I have the Sapphire hd 5750 it has a fan but it´s pretty silent. Not sure bout the displayport have nothing to test it with. Also been reading you need an active device/converter or was it monitor not sure.

 

I run SL 10.6.5 32 bit haven´t tested 64 bit but I doubt it works just like that, I´m pretty sure one would need to fix something to get it working. It´s a good card though.

 

Same with this card edit device id/change from capital letter in the ATI5000controller.kext plist - like this 0x68be1002. Also I have like I said 10.6.5 and the ATISupport.kext which might make a difference and graphicsenabler.

Can u expand a little more on what u did?

1.Did u have to use the Bios of your GPU in Extra?

2.Which Chameleon package did u use?

3.Did u add the DeviceID to any other kext or have to remove any kext?

4.Was this done on a fresh Vanilla Install/Distro/Update?
