Sonic-NKT Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Hi, wanted to upgrade my old "Mac" System with a new Graphicsadapter. Current Setup: ASRock Conroe1333-D667 (Upadted Bios to latest Rev) Intel GMA 950 (internal) 2GB Ram VGA Monitor 1440x900 HDMI LG TV (FullHD) The GMA950 has a bit problems with all Lion graphics effects and i wanted to connect my mac to my new TV so i thought i upgrade my card. Besides that the System and the Card work perfect. It detects the VGA Monitor with the correct resolution Got a XFX 5670 for a good price, and it was one of the few modern cards that only used one slot (i have a mini PCIe to PCIe 1x Adapter right next to the card for Wifi) Anyway, the card arrived, i connected it though a DVI-VGA Adapter to my monitor but my old system wont boot up. After the Apple Boot Logo it either sits with Display off or scrambled screen (framebuffer remains) I Also tried DVI only (with the monitor of a Friend) HDMI only and HDMI and DVI-VGA). Its the same Problem. I tried GE=Yes/No ans several AtiConfig Options (Vervet, Uakari, Eulemur, Hoolock, Baboon, ...) Still the same, either no Output at all or scrambled screen. I thought it was the card, returned it and got a ASUS 5670, reported to work OOB on Lion. Connected it and it was the same result. Either scrambled screen or no output. Can anyone help me? I have a working (atleast with GMA950) Lion install (myhack Method) i removed my dsdt.aml (for the gma to work properly) before trying the cards. I also tried to boot the myhack Flashdrive (for Lion install) with the same Results. -x Option doesnt change a thing -v Option reports no errors (until the screen goes off or scrambled) My current Chameleon Version is 1332, but i also tried older Version and Chimera. Windows (btw) works with no problems with both cards! The internal Card is deactivated and isnt working! So with this new card i cant even boot the System which is very annoying.... Thanks for any help, dont want to try out even more cards! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/267911-hd5670-lion-not-working/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
