Part I - ATI HD 5770 Retail OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.4 - Installation on an ASUS P7P55D PC

[TheCoolsaf007]

@beelzeb0z0 i tried the latest multibeast, but even that didnt work for me :(

[beelzeb0z0]

@TheCoolsaf007 Please post your issues at tonymacx86. I don't really provide support here.

[TheCoolsaf007]

i cant find the kext files, give me a proper link, the one in discription doesnt wrk

[beelzeb0z0]

@TheCoolsaf007 This is a very old method. You can use MultiBeast.

[TheSmrtMouth]

hey I have ATI Mobility Radeon 4250 in my laptop. is it possible you can pm me for more information on how I can obtain a kext for this card. Thanks!

[SourNaik]

Do you know if the Asus 5770 will work out of box with Lion on a mac pro? Ive been hearing rumors that Lion is now supporting many ATI video cards (pc) out of the box..

Hey there beelzeb0z0, I watch all your hackintosh videos and they are a huge help. I just bout a hd5570 and I had it working while connected to DVI. But I tried swiitching to HDMI and the display would turn black after white apple screen on boot. I tried to switch back to DVI but it also gives me a black screen now. Tried booing in verbose but same thing. Suggestions?

[V8Project]

Very Nice, we must thank you!!!

Works very very fine on my PC:

Phenom II X2 555 @X4 3.8GHz - ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO - 2x2 DDR3 1333 - Saphire HD5770 , with Snow Leopard 10.6.

Good Luck aways!!!

@beelzeb0z0 can you help get my Sapphire ATI radeon hd 4670 graphics card working. I run on IATKOS S3 V2 I also have the retail Snow Leopard 10.6.3 disc.

[beelzeb0z0]

@aerosmithkor Nope, I don't help with pirated software installs.

[aerosmithkor]

@beelzeb0z0 ok can you help with a retail DVD install then, because I do have the retail 10.6.3 disc which i did buy from the Apple store here in KY.

[beelzeb0z0]

@aerosmithkor Please visit the tonymacx86 website, register, and post your install issues there. 

[MrOfficialDaze]

I got a blue screen that doesnt go away after doing this. How do i fix it?

[roizaldo]

thank you for this tutorial!!!!



[cathay2582]

can hd5870 use?

[beelzeb0z0]

@cathay2582 I believe so.  Visit tonymacx86 and check out MultiBeast for ATI cards.

[xiBobzHD]

You are a fuking legend mate thankyou so much

[theangelswithwings]

i realy need this i have a 33 inch and and 1080x720 is a little small

[vampspell]

btw:kool vid !

[derpumakl]

Does the card supports 3 Monitors under OSX86? Would be nice to hear that it is!!!

[beelzeb0z0]

@derpumakl Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to even test if HDMI worked. I ended up selling my 5770 because overall, it was a crappy video card even in Windows 7 and OS X. My 8800 GTS runs better.

[derpumakl]

@beelzeb0z0 oh, that suprises me! the 5770 should be much faster than yout 8800GTS! Even under Windows... Even my 4870 is faster than a 8800 GTS...

:(

[beelzeb0z0]

@derpumakl Honestly, I couldn't even tell the difference.

[beelzeb0z0]

This method of installing a 5770 is outdated. Search online for tonymacx86 for a much easier, simpler guide to install an ATI HD 5770 GPU.

[PointOfYouTV]

@beelzeb0z0 will this let me boot into 64bit?

[beelzeb0z0]

@PointOfYouTV 64-bit Kernel and Extensions is an option in MultiBeast, it's optional. For more info, go to the tonymacx86 website.

[Neosferaku]

The Extra folder is not there? what should I do?

[beelzeb0z0]

@Neosferaku

You need to run MultiBeast and select a utility in the installer for showing hidden files. This will give you access to that folder which is hidden by default.

[RudestBuddhist]

Hmmm to buy this or pay extra for the Apple version. It's a gamble if it'll work on a 2008 Mac Pro..

[beelzeb0z0]

@RudestBuddhist

Look online for Netkas.org. There is a way to hack the video card ROM and make it work on a real MAC. He's got a guide on his web site.

[pleaseineedhelp2010]

How is your monitor connected to your pc, do you only have ONE connector with your screen or do you have TWO connectors on your screen?

I only have one DVI PORT connected so is this possible for me...

[beelzeb0z0]

@pleaseineedhelp2010 1 monitor connected to the DVI connector.

[xCYBERKIDx]

i can't find my "extra" folder, it's not there. i'm running chameleon rc5

[xCYBERKIDx]

@xCYBERKIDx well nevermind i got it to work, thanks :)

[mitchmacde]

I think it is not needed to delete the nvidia.kext drivers - they arent loaded/used if you change gpu type.

[beelzeb0z0]

@mitchmacde Yeah, I didn't think so either, however there are multiple people saying to delete them where they were successful getting their 5770 to work so I did what they suggested. I haven't tried leaving the NVidia kexts but maybe I will test later on. I see your point, it doesn't really make sense to delete those kexts in the case that you have to put an Nvidia card back in.

[ai3er]

Oh my god you frikken rock!!!!!!!!!!

[lexus30]

You, sir, are a life saver. Spent many many hours trying to get my 5770 to work before I saw this. Thank you. Oh, and for anyone else that is following this, follow his steps right after you run multibeast before you restart your computer.
