Hello,

I want to buy an ATI video card for my system, see signature.

Using Clover and I have two partitions, one with Mavericks and the other with Yosemite.

My SMBIOS is MacPro5,1 and I'd like to use an ATI 5770 or 5870 but before purchasing would like to know if it is compatible and / or how much work it would have to do to make it go.

I currently have an NVIDIA GT640 that works on both systems with the drivers web.

You know you recommend?

Thank You

@gigibatt,

 

It is compatible and it is relatively easy to set up.  I have an XFX Radeon HD 5770 which works well from OSX Lion --> Yosemite. 

 

The following is the Graphics Section of my Clover config.plist:

<key>Graphics</key>
	<dict>
		<key>FBName</key>
		<string>Vervet</string>
		<key>Inject</key>
		<dict>
			<key>ATI</key>
			<true/>
			<key>Intel</key>
			<false/>
			<key>NVidia</key>
			<false/>
		</dict>
		<key>PatchVBios</key>
		<true/>
		<key>VideoPorts</key>
		<integer>4</integer>
	</dict>

The PatchVBios = true enables native screen resolution (1980x1200) on my monitor during boot/CloverGUI.

 

Also have a look at @Slice's thread:

Good Luck
