This thread is for reporting Graphics Cards which work and do not work with Mac OS X 10.7 Lion.
In a similar fashion to the other thread on ATi 5xxx/6xxx 10.6.7 Native Support I will try and add Cards as they are reported and eelhead will then add them to the Wiki. When reporting please check if DVD Player will work.
Geekbench has some issues and will crash on some systems running 10.7 Lion. They are working on this and I have a Beta which does work on my machine now so hopefully an updated version will be released soon.
ADDED on 2011/08/05
I am adding a section on the list for Cards working in 10.7 but using rollback to previous drivers to make them work.
Please use the Notes section of the template to advise of any issues or steps necessary to make the card work
Please use the template at the bottom of the list for reporting!
