    XFX 6870, 2nd monitor with scrambled graphics on boot

    As title says really, I have two 24inch monitors plugged into a XFX 6870, one by DVI and the other by MDP using active adapter (this one has the scrambled graphics on startup). After the system has booted, if I replug in the monitor cable the monitor works fine. I thought originally this isn't...

    Hi All Recently built a hackintosh which works great, however, ever so often some of my OS X application windows go scrambled and all pixelated. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a fix? Regards,

    ATI Raedeon HD 6870 seen as RaedeonHD NI40 on 10.6.8

    Could someone confirm that this mini displayport to display port cable would work with hackintosh? I'm wanting to plug directly into the minidisplay ports from my displayport monitor. http://www.scan.co.uk/products/3m-scan-display-port-cable-male-mini-dp-to-male-dp-white-gold-connector

    ATI Raedeon HD 6870 seen as RaedeonHD NI40 on 10.6.8

    I have 3 monitors and I'm thinking about getting this card. Would I be able to use one monitor in the DVI slot and the other two directly into the two Mini Display Ports?

    ATI or Nvidia?

    Going to be building a hackintosh in the next week or so if I can decide which graphics card to choose. From doing a bit of research and reading the graphics card database it looks like the nvidia cards require less effort to get working and are better compatible? I'm looking for a graphics...

This is properly because it only detects one of the DVI ports on the card in system profiler. It also detects a Display Connector port which I do not have. Also to...

    ATI 4850 or ATI X1950 for dual monitors via VGA?

    Both of these graphics cards have two DVI connections, however both my monitors are VGA. I currently use DVI to VGA dongles on both of them. Which graphics card would be better for this, if either?
