Proteo Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 This card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814130270 worked like a charm (CI, QE, resolutions, rotation, etc) by just dropping Natit 1.0 kext into the Extensions folder. I can't imagine something easier on a hackintosh. This is what Sys profiler reports: GeForce 7300 GS: Chipset Model: GeForce 7300 GS Type: Display Bus: PCIe VRAM (Total): 256 MB Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de) Device ID: 0x01df Revision ID: 0x00a1 Displays: SyncMaster: Resolution: 1280 x 1024 @ 75 Hz Depth: 32-bit Color Core Image: Supported Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Quartz Extreme: Supported Rotation: Supported It is not perfect though. The fan does a high pitched noise that can be very annoying if you're quite close of the computer (I'm at barely 50 cms from it ) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/47783-recommendation-cheapers-out-of-the-box-pci-e-video-cards/#findComment-342294 Share on other sites More sharing options...
