hinhale Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 So, uhm, I'm just about to take the plunge and order this card. Does anyone use it (or the identical one with a fan) in their OSX86 systems? I haven't found any posts verifying that this card will actually work, but I figure it should since a lot of people are running 8600gt's. It's the G84 rev. from what I gather, if that makes any difference. This is pretty much the only current generation fanless card that'll fit my case (it's only 90mm high and uses a raiser for the pci-e port, but has plenty of space length-wise that makes this card fit the bill perfectly since most of the heatsink is placed on the end). I'm experiencing some tearing/graphical glitches with my much to loud x1600pro, and it won't do DVI, and that's pretty much the only reason I'm upgrading, so if I can confirm I'll get working DVI, no tearing and QE/CI et.c. I'll go ahead and place my order. http://www.leadtek.com.tw/eng/3d_graphic/o...p;pronameid=340 EDIT: I run OSX86 exclusively, so it doesn't matter if a firmware hack or something of the sort is the only way to get it to work, and performance is not a big issue either since I don't game.

hinhale Posted April 8, 2008 Author Share Posted April 8, 2008 Oh, well, I've now placed the order. If anyone is considering a somewhat similar/identical card, and wonders if I was successful, feel free to let me know and I'll post an update. Should have the card in, uhm, a couple of days I hope.
