You haven't supplied any information that we can use to help you. Since it isn't "just working" the way it should be, we need a more detailed problem description.HIS HD 7950 IceQ Turbo 3GB still not working :/
HIS 7950 IceQ Turbo 3GB GDDR5 PCI-E DVI/HDMI/2xMini DP
Radeon HD 7950 PCIe Series
Memory Size (MB) 3072
Device ID:1002-679A
any idea how to enable ?
Make sure you aren't using UEFI boot in the BIOS, or at least also have "Legacy Boot" or "BIOS boot" enabled. OS X can't boot from UEFI on PCs currently. Also, the HD 4000 IS the integrated graphics we're talking about, so use that.Hi guys,
Currently I have a HIS 7870 Gigahertz edition card at stock clocks that can't boot into OS X (it automatically resets the machine upon bootup; no text, nothing).
I tried using integrated graphics on boot-up however my bios does not have that option. It only allows me to select integrated graphics (Intel HD 4000) or PCIe graphics.
The other option was to boot up with a second ATI card however I have a HD 5570 that probably isn't supported by OS X.
Currently when I have to boot into OS X I have to plug in my UniBeast flash drive for use as a bootloader or else the system will just reset itself. This may be part of my problem though I have updated the flash drive with 10.8.3 recently.
If the system resets without a flashdrive, that indicates you haven't installed OS X correctly/are not finished installing OS X. Did you install Chimera from MultiBeast after the initial installation?
Just use the GraphicsEnabler=Yes flag at bootup, and that should fix it. You can write it in org.chameleon.Boot.plist as:yesterday I installed 10.8.3
AMD ASUS 7870
i5-3570k
msi z77a-43a
and I found one bug
I can not boot from 7870 because I will get rainbow in my displays
If I boot from Intel HD 4000 all works fine but , I get virtual display "spdisplays_display" (Intel HD 4000)
How I can remove it
tnx

The 7970 doesn't need any hacks at all. It's really just plug and play. I would undo everything you just did, as you shouldn't really have done any of that...Okay I have the Gigabyte GV-R7970OC-3GD (OC) and followed your steps to the "T" as well as another member suggested placing ATI7000Controller.kext and AMDRadeonAccelerator.kext on the desktop and running KextBeast. I've done both and no dice. I never get a white screen. My system boots flawlessly with the card in but system info says there is no kext loaded and YouTube, Top Sites and wallpaper transitions flicker and and everything lags when those three occurs. When either of those three arent happening all is well.
Edit: Also checked kext to see if device ID was present and it is in both and it was hazemhazoom who suggested the desktop KextBeast trick. (couldnt remember his name)
If it isn't loading a kext, that basically means there's no driver loaded for the device, so the fact it's even working at all is surprising.
Can you do the sleep trick during the black screen? There have been reports that that works sometimes.My specs :
- Asus P8Z77-V
- i7 3770k
- Sapphire HD7970 Ghz Edition Vapor-X 6GB
I can't get my 7970 to work ! I tried to do the trick with the HD4000 but the screen stays black. What's the problem ?
You should be using the Intel HD 4000 as primary (nothing will show up on any screen until login if you don't have a second monitor attached to the HD 4000), and then it should work. If not, what does using -v say?
