Synaesthesia Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 what is the easiest Video card to get working in Mac via pci-e By far the easiest is a Geforce 7-series card. They all work via Natit/Titan. But it must be 256mb Vram or less, no 512mb. Check the wiki though, lots more cards work...http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/HCL_10.4.8 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/65730-xeon-dual-processor-mac-up-and-running/#findComment-466709 Share on other sites More sharing options...
scalar Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Yea I've got a 512Mb atm because I saw it on sale for $40 less than the 256Mb at the time, impulse buy Otherwise I have an older Prestonia based Xeon here that seems to work well enough, the 3rd party firewire and USB2 are even recognized without any effort on my part (JaS 10.4.8 but that gets me started eh). Considering looking for a 256Mb card now because this is AGP and there's no bios to flash my card with. I'm not sure I'd want to flash it anyway...

senorlocksmith Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 i had problems with natit i have a 7900gtx 512 that i flashed with a moded bios to get osx running on it and it works, i used titian it worked great. but i m looking for nvidia efi now cause i hear it has better acceleration support, i would suggest either of the two but nvidiaefi is not available anywhere unless you know of a person who has it.
