ChuckDSanders Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Now this must be a silly question, but many people who game will be going out, if they haven't already, and purchasing a new Direct X 10 card. I am waiting to see if the newest flavors from ATI are a lot better than Nvidias products. But speculation aside, I am soo happy that I have my 7800GTX working like a champ in OS X, and I don't want that to change when I decide to upgrade in the next 2 months. So here is the question, do you think there will be support for these new cards in the near future? In addition, my MOBO does SLI, so could I just put the 7800 in the lower slot, and hypothetically put the dir X 10 card in the top slot and have OS X boot off of the other PCIX slot? I think it will work because there are bios setting to change the priority of the slots. Let me know what you think. PS. MACFUSE is the {censored}. Running at full steam at 4.0ghz soo much faster on this new HD Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/39383-direct-x-10-cards-and-hackintoshs/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
macwanabe Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 I have SLI board and 2 x PCIE Nvidia cards. OS X does not boot at all if I have both cards installed. Works fine with one card installed and dual monitor.

ChuckDSanders Posted January 21, 2007 Author Share Posted January 21, 2007 Man that sux. Is there any hope? Or is it all too much? The Mac Pros have 4 PCIX slots right? But they are all 4x or something ridiculous like that. To all the Hackintosh gods, there is a calling Multi Video card support in OS X. That would be sweet. Ohh well I am happy with what I have. Its friggin sweet man. Thank you again for everyones help to make this awesome beast possible Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/39383-direct-x-10-cards-and-hackintoshs/#findComment-280844 Share on other sites More sharing options...
frizbot Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Well, it probably isn't a priority. Getting SLI working may take quite a lot of work, and the gaming community on OS X has never been that large. Instead of buying two cards for SLI, buy one better card, and then upgrade later to a new-generation card so that it will be still faster than the SLI setup, produce half the heat, half the noise, and you'll have modern features.
