Sapphire 6770 and Lion

[noktrnl]

Hi, I have been searching and found some info from last year saying that the 6770 is useable, but you have to flash the bios to a 5770's. I was hoping that by now Lion includes support for the 6770 without need to flash to another card. If not, does flashing to a 5770 effect the performance of the 6770 in any way? I only ask because I have the option to trade a friend my 5750 for the 6770 (Non Vapor-X).

Hi noktrnl,

according to MacMan's blog, the AMD(ati) Radeon 6770 is supported as of Chimera v1.7.0 which is the latest version of Chimera at the time of writing this reply

It doesn't mean anything. You can add another cards device ID, but it won't work.

Um you don't clearly understand what I am stating do you?

The device IDs of GPUs are added into Chimera so with GraphicsEnabler=Yes it chooses the correct frame buffer and you get full functioning GPU with that choice.

I did not say to flash the card to another Device ID.

Please read and understand a post before inputting.
