Ati Radeon Hd 5870 Graphics Card Update Would Enable

Im going to replace my nVidia 8800GTX (EFI strings) in my dual boot Hackintosh 10.5.8 Windows 7 machine.

As long you cant see that on netkas.org then it wont work in osx.

At that point, drivers assuming, its win-win for the customer, rather than this frustrating dead zone of wait-wait.

Hi drumz, thats okay, no one is calling anyone out but the review sites I would be delighted for the 5850 to wipe the floor with the 285.

At 2560x1600 8xAA 16xAF in ten out of ten games it does, otherwise its not so clear cut and varies from game to game and review site; the averaged benchmark of all resolutions was 5850 88 and GTX 285 83.

The 5850 has ample power for just about any gamer and sensible power consumption and dimensions.

But then I saw the even newer 5770 and 5750 and they make even more sense for me.

The sizes and power are just amazingly practical and the power reqs are very good.

Oh and the specs to the complete series mention OpenCL all the time and other advanced tricks.

Keep in mind that I have a micro-ATX case so something as big as a 260 is just not practical, or maybe not even possible.

The 2600 replaced a 4850 I had for 6 months before it was OSX-supported so I know what a drag a non-supported GPU can be.

There is a possibility that the Mac Pro could be updated somewhere around November, but that is far from confirmed and theres nothing to tell us an update would enable ATI cards when Apple seems to be very friendly with nVidia and with their GTX300 series coming.

And then, even if an ATI card were to be supported, it could very well be a high-end 5870 and I dont know whether kexts could be extrapolated for the lower series of cards.

You can verify this by trying to start the Apple dvd player program.

But a 9600GT is on its way for me so I will give that a try.
