Hello guys,
can you help me to find AMD Radeon HD 5770 1GB kexts for yosemite??
I have installed system witout problems.
Into INFO TAB is detected "ati radeon 5000" and not 5770.

thanks
 
Don't know if it makes any difference but my card shows up the same in about this mac and system report but in the prefs window in Lightroom it comes up as a 5770. It seems to work properly so I did not worry about it.

That card should be natively supported. It was an optional card for Mac Pros.

But i remember that on mavericks OS, in info tab, ati 5770 was writter.

Things change between the OS's.

I've run three different 5770's (Gigabyte, Asus, real Apple)

1) Genuine Mac Pro 1,1 on 10.9.5 and Yosemite

2) Z87X on 10.9.5 and Yosemite

3) Z97X on Yosemite.

The card actually reported varied depending on OS X, sometimes it as 5770 sometimes 5700. However I never download any drivers, all three cards worked perfectly well (no boot screen on non-Apple ones). I ran two 5770's at the same time and all worked fine.

I still have one of the 5770's sitting round but have since sold the Mac Pro and two of the 5770's.

The HD5770 graphics cards work OOB. I've had several Gigabyte HD5770 "Batmobile" cards since my first P55M systems. If you want to experiment with frame buffers to get that About This Apple correct, read http://www.tonymacx86.com/graphics/...graphics-cards-framebuffer-personalities.html. But, truthfully, I'd let it go and just enjoy the ride.

Would the link you posted help with a set of 6790s that I can't get to enable graphics acceleration?
It's super choppy and under info it lists that I have a 3mb graphics card haha.

Did you read the thread?
 
I did. Honestly at this point I'm grasping at straws for a solution. Any help would be appreciated
