cable909 Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Hey All, I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a graphic card with a minidisplay port that will work on a hackintosh with the new 27" Cinema Display. I currently have a hackintosh running 10.6.4 with an 8800 GTS 320. I understand I can get an adapter to get this to work, but I'd rather bite the bullet and buy a better card. This thread seems to indicate only an Apple branded card will work: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=989567 Assuming this is the case, will an Apple branded Radeon HD 5770 do the trick? Any help is appreciated! Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/236347-graphic-card-for-apple-27-cinema-display/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
aniket patil Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 I think if you have money go with apple branded HD 5870 , its more future proof and it's the beast in the perfomance. I have xfx 5770 and i am using it with VGA Port. XFX 5770 is nice in perfomance , if you're not gamer then i will suggest you to go for 5770 and if you do somewhat gaming then must go for HD 5870 Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/236347-graphic-card-for-apple-27-cinema-display/#findComment-1577437 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the Apple branded 5770 "just work" with the hackintosh or will I need to jump through hoops?

I think you should go with XFX HD 5770 it costs around 160$ but apple seems costs around 250$.

Hmm, unless I'm missing something the XFX HD 5770 lacks a minidisplay port. I found this post: http://www.tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=6586 Which seems to indicate the Apple branded HD 5770 will work. I might bite the bullet and pick up the monitor and apple branded card today and see what happens.
