Imperil Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 I'm looking at rebuilding my current PC and switching it over to a hackintosh, so I have a quick question. I've been reading the boards and I have seen posts about G80 support with NVInject but I haven't seen anybody post about the 640MB 8800GTS, so I just wanted to double-check if this is usable in 10.5? Right now my system is: EVGA board Q6600 4GB OCZ 800mhz 8800GTS 640MB 150GB WD Raptor (2) Dell 3007WFP-HC 30" Panels I'll be swapping the board out this weekend for a Badaxe2 as I want something proven stable and reliable, but before I go spend money on it I wanted to make sure that my video card will be supported. Basically I need reliable dual monitor out to 30" panels at 2560x1600. Thanks a million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrjoe Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 WARNING: Dual monitor systems are known to have trouble! Just a warning. Also yes, G80 640MB is supported, even natively, if you use EFI v8.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperil Posted December 7, 2007 Author Share Posted December 7, 2007 Great I was planning on running a GUID partition with EFI 8.0 and RTM Leopard, so I'm glad to hear that. It is troubling hearing that dual monitor systems have problems though as I use my multi-monitor setup heavily, I'll have to look into this more. Thanks so much!

bonj Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 How do you know whether a GPU is G80 or not? I'm looking at getting this: BFG Tech BFGR88768GTXOCE GeForce 8800GTX 768MB 384-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Retail and I'd like to make sure it's G80 before I purchase it. I have a full system configured on Newegg, and if anyone can find any Leopard compatibility flaws in it, I'd appreciate it if you could let me know.

High-End Hackintosh All 8800GTXs are G80 - the only G92 are 8800GTS 512MB & 8800GT (these don't work with Hackintosh yet). BTW: I'd choose better RAM if you WANT to OC even a little.

vlad1966 Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Thanks for the info and the recommendation, vlad! Edit: What RAM would you recommend, actually? I'm considering this: http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?...N82E16820231145 if I decide to build another Hack, with a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3P Rev 2.0 That RAM is only $115 for 4GB and has very good reviews/specs for OC'ing.
