Hi!
Just started my very first hackintosh build.
Hardware is Xeon E3-1230v2, 16 GB of RAM, Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3P
Everything is fine, apart from graphics: I haven't bought GPU yet, and using my old X1950 Pro.
Right now there is even no native resolution, not talking about acceleration.

So, how to make this card working? There is even no kext in Extensions preinstalled for X1xxx... :(
 
Card isn't supported. See buyers guide for supported cards from 10.8.3 onwards:

If you need a cheap temporary option then GT210 512mb (not all 1TB versions work!), GT610, GT620, GT630 are all available new at reasonable cost.
Some other cards that you might get on ebay are listed here, but check that they are confirmed working with 10.9 first!

Good luck
