Looking for the best GFX card around that is easily compatible with my Hackintosh Mini.
Looked at the Sapphire 5570 but it seems so outdated and its not readily available...anyone have any good easy to manage options?
If you want low profile, single slot, the GT 430 is natively supported in Lion

The Sapphire 5570 is supported in Lion with a kext edit.
THe 6570 and 6670 are not natively supported in Lion. There are numerous 6670 threads trying to get it to work. I have the XFX 6670 noted above and it works (even HDMI audio) but not natively meaning some applications crash; its been parked. The working fix (not recommended) is to reflash a 6xxx card to a 5xxx. By AMD definition, a 6570 has less performance than a 5570 (newer is slower).
One last note, the 6870 is the exception as it is supported natively in Lion but the 6870 is lower performance to the 5870, also Lion native.
