Which Manufacturers of GT 520 should I choose for my hackintosh ?

[ne862]

Does every board manufacturer of graphics card matter to my build?
I am planning to buy a brand new cheap price (around HK$500-HK$600) graphics card for my hackintosh
But I have no idea which manufacturer should I choose for GT 520 1GB.
Does it support for SL 10.6.8 and above?
Its good that it supports 10.8.2.

My Spec:
OS: Windows 7 SP1 Ultimate 64-bit
(No Mac OS yet, until I buy a new graphics card)
CPU: Q9400
RAM: 2X 4GB
Motherboard: ASUS P5G41T-M LX
Graphics card: Inno3D GTS 450 1GB (Current)

I need suggestion, thanks

The question is why would you want to downgrade from the GTS450 to a GT520 (actually a rebranded 6800GT) which is really a slow card.
one step up from the GTS450 would be a GTX 260, GTX275, GTX280, GTX460 192-bit, GTX460 SE, GTX550 Ti, GTX560 SE, or GTX650
2 steps up would be a GTX285, GTX460 256-bit, or GTX465
Are any of these available to you?

I will check the price of the cards that you have suggested above first, I just need a graphics card that is cheap and usable on Snow Leopard, Lion and Mountain Lion.
But thanks anyway.

Don't know what you consider as "cheap". Does it have to be nVidia?
There is always the ATI "Batmobile" 5770 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125309

wotks in 10.6.7, .8, 10.7.x and 10.8.x OOB

Sorry for the late response.
I have asked the card that you have mentioned above, There is no stock in Hong Kong.
There are new cards only (For instance, 6xxx or higher, and some old kinds of NVIDIA cards e.g. 9500GT)

Good afternoon.

(1) I was reading this thread about GT 520 (which to my knowledge is a "Fermi" video card). Is it not one of the video cards that causes problems with someone building a Hackintosh? Please correct me if I am wrong. I want to get your opinion on Fermi video cards. Somewhere on one of the Hackintosh sites, I read that these video cards can cause problems with installing and using Mac OS X 10.8.2

(2) Last question: What is your opinion on Gigabyte's version of AMD Radeon HD 6670 video card to use in a Hackintosh (10.8.2)? I have a friend who wants to sell it to me and the price he quoted is extremely reasonable. I would appreciate your input on the pros and cons of using this card in a 10.8.2 Hackintosh.

Thank you and have a pleasant day!
