Fuzz Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Ok I want to upgrade my PC with a sapphire X1600. I manly use mac os on it so I am wondering will it mac mac os run master ? does it work without doing any patching? and do games work or is that entirely impossible ? and is it worth buying the 512mb version or is the 256mb version sufficient ? or is there a better card for running mac os ? thx in advanced ...

elRey Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 better take a x1900 or a nvidia if your cpu has sse3 update to 10.4.8 so you can get extended desktop with natit.kext Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/34813-sapphire-x1600-worth-buying/#findComment-247076 Share on other sites More sharing options...
