Synaesthesia Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 It would be better to get a nVidia 6- or 7- series. Much easier to get working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headrush69 Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 well thats were the problem comes into play i have up to 180.00 to spend on the card and it has to be a 512mb card Why 512MB? What are you using it for? Not going to make much if any difference on OS X anyways since they have to be BIOS flashed to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArkaPro Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 I would defently recomend the ATI SAPPHIRE X1950XT 256MB. first it really easy to install on a mac.. you don't need any rom flashing or nothing you just install JJcools method installer. thats it its good to go supports Dual DVI mons since I enjoy games as well I wanted the strogest card I can get - that won't need rom flashing or kext mess! It runs perfectly on XP and vista.. I ran Need for speed carbon on full settings and on 1600x1200 and it was smooth like hell... I wouldnt insist on 512MB... right now you wont really need it... unless you have 2 30" monitors... the memmry issue is for extreme high resolutions (in 2 mons) running 1920x1200 will be great on 256MB... good luck!

deathanarchist2 Posted October 14, 2007 Author Share Posted October 14, 2007 well halo 2 says at least 256 recommended 512. oh and i have 1 mon running at 1280x1024 and i want direct x 10 so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArkaPro Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 dude I run DX10 and have 1600X1200 res... it runs awsome. Listen its simple. If you don't have a problem messing with rom flashes and complicated Kexts - go ahead and buy it... My goal was to buy the best fully supported card around.. and to my opinion - for now - thats the one. Also he supports Dual DVI mons - in case youdlike in the future... this way you can also plug the secondery DVI to Apple's DVI to Video (svidio+RCA) converter.. and you'll have a TV out... You can check my benchmarks (check sig) to see the Card's performence in MAC OSX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArkaPro Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Quartz Graphics Test : 242.60OpenGL Graphics Test : 180.29 This refers to the Hack pro? or the AMD that you got? my results (Xbench): Quartz Graphics Test: 177.88 OpenGL Graphics Test: 187.81 God damn! I didn't know the 8xxx series are supported and recognized! How did you do that? I mean, did it envolve Rom flashing and Kext mess? or a quick installer? Damn! and by BTW how did you get to that open GL extension viewer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMF Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 ArkaPro, Yes it looks like the 8800 series is now supported (only the 8800 not the 85 or 86...). There are two very lively threads in the hardware forum - you don't even have to search you'll see them on the first page or so of threads....
