mitch_de Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 I was waiting for such cards from non Apple OEMs (like EVGA for some of the Mac cards). They get a bit more bargain compared to the PC market cards if they do EFI-BIOSed PC Gpus for Macs. I dont know if they must "ask" Apple or also pay some fee to them to sell those cards to the Mac market. For sure i think they will be sold not in the Apple Store.

mitch_de Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 Release date is unknown - maybe such cards needs newer drivers than 10.8.3 to work 100%. Maybe works in upcomming 10.8.4 /5 summer 2013?

theconnactic Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 CORRECTION: The Radeon HD 7950 is compatible with all existing Mac Pros from 2008 - 2012 (though Sapphire is officially specifying 2010 and after). It can run under Lion 10.7.5 and Mt. Lion 10.8.2 by installing special driver that comes on a disc. No special driver needed for 10.8.3. Oh, boy, cannot we download these drivers already? 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/286814-cebit-germany-sapphire-shows-amd-7950-mac-edition/#findComment-1899460 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Deal Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 So,.. does this specific card need an iGPU, and a working sleep to work as the mainstreamed HD7950 ?

mitch_de Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 i am sure that Mac card will not have any of the hackintosh specific probs. Think their EFI BIOS (Dual Bios Mac/PC ) usage will avoid such probs.

The Real Deal Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Better to wait the specific BIOS for Mac OS X is released on the interweb ; then flash a classic HD7950 @ 250 euros/dollars ?
