Anyone know whether my 8600GT will still work or will I need to get a new video card?

The answer appears to be yes.

synnys, whats holding you back? I have a 2 GB AMD 6950 by HIS working almost perfectly in lion atm. All you need is the latest Chimera, ATY_init.kext, and netkas' patched ATIRadeonx3000.kext, ATIRadeonx3000GL.bundle, and ATI6000Controller.kext

EDIT: You will get a white screen at first boot. This is fixed by hitting the reset button and allowing it to boot again

From you bring this files and kexts and can i edit kexts to work with ati 7850

If i understand you correctly, you cannot patch the kexts for any of the ATI/AMD 7xxx at this moment. Although, Apple will release these GPU's in their computers and we can start using them.

Hey,
Can you post the links to these files?
I've been trying to get my 6970 to work in lion for sometime now but with no success.
Thanks.

After installing the 10.7.2 update, which files should I delete before running this package?

None. Just run it, reboot, then press the reset when you get to a white screen and you should see a fully accelerated desktop upon the second reboot.

I also have the gtx 560ti 448 core edition and im to a bit worried about the support.

Did you try installing the stock nVidia display and CUDA drivers? It worked perfectly for my GTX580.
