livestrong Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Hey everyone! I have had great success with osx86...my sound works, my internet works, everything is great except for my graphics card which doesnt support QE/CI. Its an NVIDIA. I would like to get a card that works right out of the box with OSX86 because i frankly cannot remember all the tricks and methods that i used to perfect my system to the way it is now. If anyone has any suggestions, please post them! Thanks so much.

Gorosh Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 I asked the same question and apparently it's Asus EAX Silent x1600XT.

A Nonny Moose Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Try the hybrid Radeon 9600 from ATi, which is supposed to work in both OS X and Windows.

livestrong Posted October 17, 2006 Author Share Posted October 17, 2006 Thats awesome thanks for the suggestion! Is there anything that is maybe a little cheaper tho, like maybe the 9200? If not, the 9600 Pro Hybrid seems like an awesome choice...I'll save up!

A Nonny Moose Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Try going to Other World Computing and see if they have the PCI Radeon 9200. It's about the cheapest new you'll get. Now over at Powermax, you could find some steals on older graphics cards, but it takes a lot of searching and little luck Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/30326-what-type-of-graphics-card-should-i-get/#findComment-211544 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluedragon1971 Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Remember that buying a video card that has a Mac rom (as from Other World Computing) will NOT work in your hackintosh, even if it is running OS X, without flashing it back to a PC ROM. The ROM doesn't care about the OS, it cares about the hardware it is running on, and as far as it is concerned, your PC is still a PC. Oh, and a 9200 will support QE, but it won't do CI. For that you will need a 9250 at a minimum.

A Nonny Moose Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Dragon, I forget we were dealing with a Hackintosh. Thanks for correcting me there.

wolf103fm Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 I've got a radeon 9200 PCI, but the thing will only work if I have the shared memory for the onboard video enabled. So for now, I'm just sticking with the GeForce FX 5200 until I can get an x1600 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/30326-what-type-of-graphics-card-should-i-get/#findComment-213384 Share on other sites More sharing options...
