Hi charlzm,
I don't know about the 5870, but the 5770 I have is a royal pain in the butt to configure. Each time multibeast is updated my previous method becomes obsolete and I have to either reinvent the wheel or use an older multibeast. If I could do it all over again I would use an NVIDIA card.
Here is the thread I used to get it working, but be aware this was with multibeast 2.1.0. Since then ive got it working with 2.2.0, but could NOT get it to go with 2.3.0 at all.

Rock solid so far and outperforming my 2009 mac pro edit station at the studio. I even have an intensity pro card working with it.
Now if I could only get the esata2 working I could get better performance than fw400 from my external media drives.
How difficult was it for you to configure your video card? I'm still "kexting" my Hackintosh build; so far, the video card I chose (Radeon 5870) seems to be the major issue still requiring fine tuning.
BTW, the only reason I wanted a Hackintosh was to run FC7. Glad to hear people are making it work. I wasn't able to install yet - the OS didn't like my video card as currently configured.
