Menno Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 What graphics card works OOB with HDMI and DVI? (Latest Chameleon with graphics enabler = ''Y" and Retail 10.6.3 disc) It has to work with 2 displays. 1 Samsung TV with a HDMI cable and 1 HDMI monitor (DVI to HDMI adapter). Both are 1080p. I know one of these below will be sufficient, but I need to be sure what model etc. :-). -GT220 ? -GT240 ? -GT9400 ? -GT9500 ?

pirloui Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 GT240 is fine OOB. With Graphics Enabler. The others should as well, not sure about GT220.

PGHammer Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 GT240 is fine OOB. With Graphics Enabler. The others should as well, not sure about GT220. So far, it's looking a lot like GT240, especially since they are actively being fire-saled (even EVGA is emptying the bins). Consider this as typical - http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_...duct_id=0325137 Note that the pre-rebate price is $69.99. (If you do everything right, you get basically two-thirds of that back.) I had to actually go back and take another look. Being as this card is specifically for Hack duty (Windows and Linux are fine as they are with AMD power, thank you very much, and I'm in no hurry to do any graphical jiggery-pokery there), it's a relative bargain (even at the pre-rebate price).

elpibe10 Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Both of these worked OOB for me ... 10.6.0 right up to 10.6.5 : GeForce® GT 240 1024MB DDR3 HDMI (GT-240X-ZNFC) http://xfxforce.com/en-us/products/graphic...ies/240GT.aspx# GeForce® 8500 GT Fatal1ty 512MB DDR2 Standard http://xfxforce.com/en-gb/products/graphic...aspx?lang=en-gb Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/235939-oob-supported-htpc-graphics-card/#findComment-1582332 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's mostly single-slot, competes (outside of Hackery) head-up with HD5450 (every which way, including price), yet it's supported, and HD5450 is out in the cold (worse, it's as Plug and Play as Hackery GPUs get).
