So I have recently purchased a Gigabyte R7 260X, however have researched around online and cannot find it on any Hackintosh (x86) forums. My question is how do I enable the graphics on my build? I have installed OS X Mountain Lion 10.8, however the resolution is low, and there is a lot of mouse tear and when I open notification center, I get that horrible red pixel effect. Is there any way of enabling the graphics on my hackintosh after first installation?

Is my card even Hackintosh Compatible?

Thank you for any help.
 
Near as I can tell, the R7 260X is just a rebranded 7790 with a slight spec bump.

Unfortunately, the 7790 appears to be one of the worst-supported AMD cards in OS X. It does not work despite the best efforts of several of the forum members, and might never work.

You can find more information in these threads:

Thank you very much for your response, it was very helpful and much appreciated.

In conclusion, is there any way that I could have this card running in my hackintosh and have graphics acceleration enabled? I.E. No mouse tear, transparent top bar, smooth graphical experience etc.?

Thank you again in advance.
 
I have installed Maverics (10.9.1) on my PC. WiFi (Ralink 5370) and audio (Realtek ALC887) works good. But the GPU (AMD Radeon R7 260X) does not work correctly. "About Mac" indicates "monitor 3MB".

Is there a solution to this problem?

P.S. Sorry for my bad English. I'm Russian.
 
Hi guys..I've just bought an Gigabyte R7 260X OC edition. Exact model is GV-R726XOC-1GD. I had SAPPHIRE HD5770 working OOB. But now when I plug my R7, the PC boots, but I don't even get to the Bootloader's image.. It comes BOOTGTP_OK, and about 20 lines of strange symbols...I maganed to boot with onboard graphics (HD4000, i5 3470k), and I noticed that the DEV ID. is 0x66581002...I googled it and guess what....not even 1 result..What can I do? I'm an IT and I already did everything that I've found.. Thanks in advance!
 
Any solution for this yet? I have the same GPU card (r7 260x) and the same Monitor 3MB problem. Please let me know the fix. thanks
