Re: Nvidia 9800GT to ATi HD 5850: how?

Yep! You are correct I found it with a little help of surfing through the threads.

So I just ran the lastest version of Multibeast in Snow Leopard and went to Advance Options > Graphics Enabler > ATY_Init Vervet (selected that)


Then I went to Advance options > com.apple.boot.plist > and selected "32-bit Graphics Enabler=No"


Restarted the computer with the new video card plugged in and Success!!

Was running a GTX 460 with no luck, sold it, plugged in a temporary 9400GT which worked just to get things going, and just purchased a 5850 with overnight shipping, and will do this.

Thanks for the steps. Glad I don't have to reinstall everything
