petie74 Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I am planning to buy a better graphics card for my OSX86 and these 2 cards, Gigabyte X1650Pro or HD2600Pro are identical in price? Which one would you recommend as a better OSX86 card. Looks like the forums states the X1650 ?

BJMoose Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 There are several cards out there that will offer you much more support for OSX86 than these two. Reports on the wiki are not spectacular for the 1650Pro although I am sure some have gotten theirs to work (1600XT is probably a better choice for compatibility). There is currently no driver support for the HD2xxx series cards. If you're willing to wait, that might be okay, but no guarantees on the support front.
