New Graphics card compatible with OS x

[giannis96]

Hello guys!! Having my new hackintosh build for 2 months now i am very excited!! I am now considering of buying a new
graphics card (Since i am using intel hd 4600 graphics) in order to dual boot with windows and do some light gaming. As i am
in budget i am thinking of buying:

the GIGABYTE GTX650 (http://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-GeForce-PCI-Express-Graphics-GV-N65TOC-2GI/dp/B009L946II/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1387113421&sr=8-1&keywords=GIGABYTE+GTX650+TI)'
or
the SAPPHIRE RADEON HD7850 2GB(http://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-Radeon-PCI-Express-Graphics-11200-07-20G/dp/B008MJHSFG/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1387113483&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=APPHIRE+RADEON+HD7850+2GB)
or
the Sapphire Radeon Vapor-X HD 7770 GHZ OC 1 GB (http://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-Vapor-X-PCI-Express-Graphics-11201-05-20G/dp/B007R9NSK6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1387113620&sr=8-1&keywords=SAPPHIRE+RADEON+HD7770+GHZ+EDITION+OC+VAPOR-X) for a more budget oprion

The reason i am confused is because i haven't ever used any amd card and i am not sure if the will also work with the OS X side of things..

AMD cards do do work with OSX - well some do. Use the search feature and the cards model to see how other users got on. Sometimes they are easy to get running and sometimes a bit more work can be required. Mavericks should have the best support as the new Mac Pro is using AMD graphics.

Well thanks for the reply!! I have decided to buy a GTX 650 ti boost superclocked evga second hand from a friend. As for AMD cards i have done my research and yes most of them do work with OS X and that's a relief for a future purchase Thanks again for replying!!!
