I was looking through the specs of the new Mac Pro after the AMD Hawaii event.
I thought it looked pretty similar since the back of the card is relatively the same.

Netkas also pointed out that there is reference to those cards in the AMD driver under Mavericks.

If the new Mac is loaded with these video cards, do you guys think its likely that these will work in hackingtosh OOB?
And what about that CrossFire-esque thing they mention?

Would love to see an R9 290x working on Mavericks though the GPUs used on the Mac Pros are from the FirePro series. Anyway if someone that appears to have it would give it a try I will definitely follow and want to know about how it made it. If not I will buy a 780 that luckily may go down in price since NVidia will soon be releasing the 780 Ti.
The R9 290x is the card to have in a hackintosh if you can make it work, since its performance per dollar and the fact the OSX is moving with AMD now.
