ArkaPro Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 I understand the the best cards around that works "out of the box" or with a simple Patch install are: ATI's x1950XT 256MB and Nvidia's 7900GT 256MB (correct me if im wrong) I understood that the X1950XT wont support VIVO or TV-out The only way to work around it is by using apple's DVI to video adapter It won't suite me because I plan to use two monitors, and I need that second DVI for the second monitor. Is there any way to even use VIVO on OSX86? will the 7900GT support the TV/VIVO? the VIVO is less impotant to me (though it'll be great to have this option) but TV-out I must have! and another Question: Is it possible to set different resolutions for each monitor when using DUAL display? on x1950xt and/or 7900GT thanks!

ArkaPro Posted August 8, 2007 Author Share Posted August 8, 2007 Just Found a topic regarding our's: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...rt=#entry239577 Apparently, it OK to use the adaptor only on a few models, such as the X1900XT. Other ppl who had x1600xt and 7900GTO weren't able to use it. I plan to purchase the X1950XT 256MB (or the X1950XTX 512MB) Do you think it'll work on it?!

delish Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 issues with fan speed on XTX model (runs at 100% all the time) x19X0xt 256mb and 512mb are usually very easy to get working for x19X0xt cards: VIVO: no drivers for osx TV-Out: works with apple DVI-PAL/NTSC adapter. Keep in mind its a dualhead card (like almost all consumer cards) so even on Windows you can only have 2 outputs at once (DVI+DVI or DVI+TV-Out) not DVI+DVI+TV-Out.

ArkaPro Posted August 8, 2007 Author Share Posted August 8, 2007 Actually, I just chatted with a guy who has the X1950XTX 512MB he told me that at first he got the 100% fan issue. But after he istalled Uphuck and a patch he couldnt remeber.. it sorted out for him... Never mind... I'm going to go on the safe side and stick to the Sapphire X1950XT 256mb. thanks for enlightening me about the TV-out options available and the dualhead concept! Cheers!
