I have 3 monitors and I'm thinking about getting this card.

Would I be able to use one monitor in the DVI slot and the other two directly into the two Mini Display Ports?
 
Straycat, thanks a lot for your answer. You are indeed RIGHT!!
Active is the KEY word :)
I changed cables and everything is working EXACTLY as you said :)
Thanks again
 
In my case, i just added this to my com.apple.boot.plist:

<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>arch=x86_64</string>
<key>PCIRootUID</key>
<string>1</string>
<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>Yes</string>

Do note, such a change will try to make your hack boot at 64 bit and if your system does not support this, it will most likely kill your hack.

You should try to test if you hack supports 64 bit.

At boot, press any key and use this:
arch=x86_64 and press enter.
If your system is capable of booting, it will just boot and you can add that to the mentioned file.
The next step is to restart and try the following at boot
PCIRootUID=1 GraphicsEnabler=Yes and press enter (if 1 does not produce any result, you can try 0)

Again, same thing, if it works, at least in Lion, it will load the correct framebuffer. And if it work, just add to the listed plist file.

Hope it works.
 
Thanks mate,
My system is now working fine.
Cheers

with your method, do all ports, including dual dvi ports, work with full acceleration?
 
Indoh2ojml:

I only have one monitor and is using the DVI port. My understanding is that all ports should work, except the second DVI port.

I'm also having a bit of an issue with Starcraft II, sometimes the games reports that my system is slowing down the game, but this might be a OSX driver issue and not related to hackintosh itself.
