In Search of the Best Hackintosh Graphics Card

[bradpaulp]

Thought I'd post my Nova bench score-was wondering if anyone else is using
a Biostar HD5670 (1GB), and if their score is similar. Windows is so much better.
If anyone has similar system parts with better or worse scores, let me know if
we can help each other out, Running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 as a MacPro 3.1

Cinebench = 22.5 Snow Leo 26.5 Lion(Test) 37 Windows
Novabench= 618
Geek score = 5675

Hey ksosx86 can u send me. Msg or reply here?
I was thinking about getting a used samsung qx411-w01 to use for hackintosh. I can trade it with someone for free.
Just wondering how hard it was for you to set it up. And your method. Any help would be great.

Hello westwaerts,

Your score is almost twice mine,
I was wondering if you did anything unique for your graphics card,
if you are using Snow Leopard or Lion (I am using SL),
and what is your system designation (mine is MacPro 3.1)?

Thanks all around, and Have a good day...

It's plenty fast enough, and totally silent, so for me it's the best.

I have the Club3D GTX 560 (Non TI)

Using Novabench:

(Score is GPU only)

At windows I get a score of: 560

In Mountain Lion I get a score of:350

Does someone know why it's so much lower in Mountain Lion?

(I'm using AGPM.kext as welll)

Thanks in advance!
