BJMoose Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 See my response to your other post. No, mac drivers aren't going to work because the cards are not the same. There's also very little support for the 8xxx series. Work is being done, but not much progress yet. Look around in Insanely Mac and there's a whole thread devoted to 8xxx development.

BJMoose Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 I doubt if it will work, but if it doesn't cost you anything to try, it would be interesting to hear about your results.

riws Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 There are only 2 Types of Drivers for osx, first the one from apple/osx native Driver and MacVidia Driver. So whats the 3. Driver you mean? Real Mac Cards wont run on PC, only with Bios Update, if its possible Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/62781-using-mac-ati-drivers-possible/#findComment-444835 Share on other sites More sharing options...
