kstephens98 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Is anyone aware of a way to get the GeForce 8 series graphics card to work on a Hackintosh? Specifically the GeForce 8500 GT card. I'm assuming MacVidia, Titan/Natit won't work as these were put together before the MAC PRO (Rev D) came out with the GeForce 8600 installed on it. If anyone has any ideas or knows for sure that it can't be done, please respond. Thanks!!!!

kstephens98 Posted July 24, 2007 Author Share Posted July 24, 2007 Tried it, but its a no go. Looks like no one has had success yet. He's also pulled the file from his site for further development. I thank him for his efforts and wish him the best of luck. Hopefully, we 8 series owners will get support eventually.

kstephens98 Posted July 26, 2007 Author Share Posted July 26, 2007 Thanks jl8080. Yeah, I found it after I had already posted this topic. Anyway, still no support for the 8 series. Hopefully it will come eventually. Thanks again for your response.

vbetts Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 For the 8600M, which isn't the same as the 8600 desktop variations. Maybe able to do something with it still though...
