Just wanna have some clarifications about PCI-Express support in OSX.

Hey,

You all know I followed some topics about X1900xt support in OSX, even X1600XT, and from what I saw in reports from users, sometimes in system profiler it says BUS : PCI (NOT E, even though the card is PCIe), and sometimes I see PCIe as a real mac. This is with loading ATINDRV.kext of course.

 

Anyway, why not everyone has full PCI-e support anyway ? Anyone ever noticed that ? Or PCI acts actually as PCIe (when I say this, I mean Call of Duty 2 is fast for example and not crappy 20fps with an AGP X1600 pro card running in REAL PCI).

 

Or maybe, it seems you AMD users has some probs with it being 100% PCIe in System profiler while you Intel users have it PCIe.

 

So how is your card recognized anyway ?
