Have PowerColor PCS+ AX7870 2GBd5-2DHPPV3E Radeon HD 7870 MYST.Edition (Tahiti LE) 2GB working with sleep trick.
Device ID: 0x679E1002
System Report:
AMD Radeon HD 7xxx:
Chipset Model: AMD Radeon HD 7xxx
Type: GPU
Bus: PCIe
PCIe Lane Width: x16
VRAM (Total): 2048 MB
Vendor: ATI (0x1002)
Device ID: 0x679e
Revision ID: 0x0000
Displays:
** I have my Gigabyte bios set to disable internal graphics and the Init Display First is set to Auto (the IGFX will not stay).**
** I have my OSX installation on a separate harddrive and with the above settings, Windows still uses my Radeon graphics so they are not affected**
Here were my initial problems and the fixes:
1. After installation, boot0 would come up with error. Found boot0 error fix on forums.
2. After successful boot fix, at the boot screen, instead of having an error, it would have random gibberish text and not proceed past boot screen. This was fixed by installing Chameleon Wizard--using the USB to boot into my Mac installation 'GraphicsEnabler=No', through TonyMac community downloads--and then installing the boot update.
3. After the previous it now boots by itself, without USB bootloader, however will only work with GraphicsEnabler=No and the sleep trick.
Current problems that need to be fixed:
1. One screen works fine with HDMI however, when I plug in a DVI (my 2nd monitor) into the graphics card port, the Mac screen refreshes with both displays are then mirrored and showing however the computer freezes (not a hard freeze, I can move the mouse but cannot click). If I unplug the DVI port, the screen refreshes again and everything is fine.
2. The white screen/sleep trick thing.
3. Not sure if this is a big issue or not but if I use 'GraphicsEnabler=Yes', the screen after boot is black and nothing happens.
Unigine:
Works well without OC and No anti-alias on Ultra 1080p--getting around 35-60 FPS.
