GTX 480 not being recognized by 10.10.5

[NMAN124]

So i have a few theories as to why it might not be recognized, despite all drivers/kexts being what they should be for it to work.

Prevailing theory from research is that (i'm a ****ing moron) the card, which i bought long ago and have just been able to use, requires both 8 pin and 6 pin power to be connected.

Are there any other possibilities? Could IGPEnabler have anything to do with it?

Thanks for any help!

EDIT: Don't bother replying. I realized it's a power issue, and I can't seem to figure out how to delete this thread. So my bad

There is no support in 10.10.5 for new AMD cards. In fact even in the latest Sierra Public Beta there is incomplete support. Keep an eye on this thread:

Expect this thread to be updated if Sierra gets proper RX460, 470 & 480 support. Do not expect to see support in either Yosemite or El Capitan as new Apple hardware will not run on older versions of OS X.

I feel that you misread "GTX" as "RX", as I was referring to the nVidia GTX 480, released over 6 years ago.
I was NOT referring to the recently released AMD RX 480.
BUT thanks for the informational links, they made for a good read.

Lol, my bad - you are quite correct I did indeed read incorrectly GTX for RX.
