I recently purchased a gigabyte HD6870 graphics card, installed it an was immediately in business. My CustoMac recognized the card right away and loaded the Duckweed framebuffer. The only niggle with the install was that the top DVI port doesn't work, but both DP ports work so I'm relatively unconcerned.
The problem came when I ran Cinebench. 32fps in OSX, but 70fps in Windows. I've tried a few other framebuffers, but to no avail. Any idea why the benchmark is so low? Cinebench also doesn't seem to really recognize this as a 6870, instead saying "ATI Radeon BA Prototype OpenGL Engine." Any ideas? Is there a kext file I'm missing or something?
Thanks,
Garth
