funkybooty Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Are there any DX 10 enabled gfx boards that have support in 10.4.10? It looks like a no go for the 8xxx series from Nvidia, but how about the 2xxx series from ATI? On a side note, I have a 7300 pulled from a macpro that I can use in my system, so if I get a mobo and plugin a 8800gts and the 7300 gts, can I plug the monitor into the 7300 gts for os x and the 8800 for windows? Thanks for the help! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/61636-dx-10-cards-for-x86-hackintosh/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azurael Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 2xxx series appears to be working, but only via VGA (no DVI yet)... 8xxx cards don't do anything yet Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/61636-dx-10-cards-for-x86-hackintosh/#findComment-437190 Share on other sites More sharing options...

errandwolfe Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 What exactly is the big deal on the DX10 card? "Valve's President Gabe Newell is calling Microsoft's choice to make DirectX 10 Vista-only a 'terrible mistake' that has harmed gaming. His company's latest hardware study shows the strategy has not moved gamers onto Vista. The result is that almost no one is using the newest version of DirectX, and companies are shying away from creating new input devices that support it. Nine months after release, after Christmas, after graduation, and with school mostly back in session, still only 8% of gamers are using it." Link to full story.

funkybooty Posted August 28, 2007 Author Share Posted August 28, 2007 he's not saying dx10 isn't good, he's stating the decision to make it exclusive on vista is bad. that being said, i feel like dropping around $300 on a graphics card, and I'd like it to be dx10 compatible so i can play bioshock. granted, the difference between dx9 and 10 in bioshock is minimal, but i'd still like to be able to play some of the games coming out in the near future that support dx10. all the same, i think the question is valid. also, anybody with experience running two graphics cards in a hackintosh i'd love to hear any input you may have. as always, thanks...

Synaesthesia Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 I believe they have gotten the Geforce 8800 working. So it's between the Ati 2600xt (budget), or nvidia 8800 (performance). Just search or shout if you need links to either's forum page Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/61636-dx-10-cards-for-x86-hackintosh/#findComment-474839 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmdshft Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 You all realize DX10 isn't on Mac, right? LOL Unless you are planning on Dual Booting, go with a GPU that has OpenGL 2.0 or higher.
