bump.. no one?

I have an asus 6870. Used to work with my amd osx86 build. Still work, except for the frame buffer. I'm getting geek bench and DVD crashes so I thought I'd investigate. I get qe/ci and resolution from the 10.6.8 update. I did not use the kexts from the 10.6.7 MacBook pro update I think it was. I...

Apparently they are supposed to be angled because it creates a spring for the processor to rest on instead pf being straight up.. It was on a evga p67 sli micro. I was reading up about it today i don't know if im wrong or not, but like i said windows boots fine. The pins are bent in uniform in a...

This is kind of off topic from normal osx installs. I'm normally an amd guy so this is a noob question. I installed my i7 2600 k yesterday. I double checked like 10 times.. I had to close the locking lever for the socket yesterday with a little force. Not really a lot but more than i wanted. I...

Well personally I have eaten up just about every single processor until I had audio skipping in and out, and Protools crashed.. I do audio, and it is not hard at all to bring it to load. Mostly through plug in amount on a project, elastic audio, rendering audio etc.. The ideal move at that point...

I think i might just rma the 2600 I got.. It's really no big deal, call me picky.. But i really want the 2600k for over clocking in the future. Do Q chipset boards over clock easily? Or is it just limited to the z style chipsets and p style chipsets being the best to over clock..

haha Yeahhh I over clocked my Phenom x6, but not by far since it wasnt the black editon. Ugh why do I always do this! :x I bought an i7 the other day, I didn't know that little tidbit about the K. I got the i7-2600. Am I being too picky? I mean it's still kick ass right? better than my AMD...

whats the difference between a 2600 and 2600k i7? sorry that was random, but you guys were talking processors I though i'd ask

I hear you. I think I did have to manually inject another frame buffer (for 10.6.7). I did add AtiConfig=Duckweed to Chimera. Worked like a charm after following the ATIKext 5xxx and 6xxx guide here. Does anyone get full 2560x1440x32 Boot Graphics with a 6870? I did with my 8800GT, Which is...

No i'm running 10.6.7 Should I be at 6.8?

Actually I just removed that from my boot.plist because I thought it might help. But nothing changed. Should I put GE=No? would it make a difference?

I used multi beast and got qe/ci working out of my display port using an adapter to an apple 27" cinema display. It installed the native working kexts for 6xxx cards. Now DVD crashes, geekbench, etc... Am i supposed to still specify a frame buffer at boot? I am using an asus 6870 cu

I picked up one of these babies after reading this thread. Cool stuff. Im actually using a 2008 MacPro Case.. It has the factory bluetooth antenna (larger than the one the A1114 came with) and is slid into where the PCI bracket is. The cable fits perfectly on the header of the A1114. Im going...

Has anyone had experience with this version of the XFX 6870? Any success stories? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814150561 Does anyone think the MDP on this card will work for a 27" Apple LED?

Sometimes I just like asking up front. I have been reading about 12 pages of this thread. Someone mentioned the XFX Radeon HD 6870 (HD-687A-ZDFC) was having issues not sleeping. Was that ever fixed? Does anyone have sleep with that card?
