Radeon 7 series graphics support

[Byalant]

Is there any knowledge regarding OS X support for the new graphics cards from AMD? I'm considering a Radeon 7770 because of the lower power consumption.

New signs of upcoming 7900/7800/7700 drivers
February 16th 2012 Posted to ATI
From 10.8 DP1 ATIRadeonX3000.kext:
0116610 T _Cail_CapeVerde_InitializePowerGating
00116485 T _Cail_CapeVerde_PowerGatingControl
00115f62 T _Cail_CapeVerde_SetUvdPowerGating
0026a770 d _Pitcairn_HwConstants
0026a7d0 d _Pitcairn_RLC
as well as Tahiti functions.
It’s not the complete driver yet, but signs of something being cooked.
Also, X1000 drivers are absent now and x2000/x3000 drivers is 32 and 64-bit still.

I'm actually very interested in this myself,
Just ordered one a few days ago and I'm wondering if I should even bother trying it in my Hackintosh build.

Any luck Byalant?

Don't hope in it...

As of right now, there is *hints* that it *may* be supported in a future release, but then again, there was that for the 6970's as well. But as of right now, it absolutely will NOT work on the software with any acceleration.

Trust me, I want to grab a 7870 when it comes out something awful.
