The following graphics cards appear to be natively supported:
ATI Radeon HD 5630 Device ID 0x68D8
ATI Radeon HD 5630 Device ID 0x68D9
ATI Radeon HD 5670 Device ID 0x68D8
ATI Radeon HD 5730 Device ID 0x68D8
ATI Radeon HD 5770 Device ID 0x68B8
ATI Radeon HD 5850 Device ID 0x6899
ATI Radeon HD 5870 Device ID 0x6898
AMD Radeon HD 6850 Device ID 0x6739
AMD Radeon HD 6870 Device ID 0x6738
AMD Radeon HD 6970 Device ID 0x6718 (not working yet)
This development raises some interesting questions. Could this mean the end of the Mac-only graphics card? Could Apple be opening up the platform more? What happens to NVIDIA? Why support for cards that aren't in Macs yet? Will the 2011 Sandy Bridge iMacs contain one or more of these new 6xxx cards?

How does this effect Multibeast set up?
Thanks!
Any chance of installing early SB update on x58 with ati 5870?
Can't wait to test this out !!!
Good work guys !
No 6950 support?
Too many answered questions...hurting brain.... :P
One can only hope that Apple is doing away with Mac-only gfx cards. I have been waiting for this since the Voodoo line.
P.S. These new kexts may break DVD player and Geekbench on some systems. Confirmed...
work this with my Mobility HD 5850 ?
so how do i revert to this from chameleon?
any experience with HD 5570 ? I will plug in mine in a seconds!
after OSX 10.6.7 is done and see if it is supported too...
As I have posted before-YES full ride for XFX HD 5770 XXX.
Works like a charm.And processor also OC-ed as much as I like it to be,
it is i3 550.
yes works 6870 :P
full QE/CI without Chameleon's GraphicsEnabler = NO or delete line
dual monitors or more

Gigabyte HD 5770
Restored booting with iboot
Quick info for my Gigabyte 5770 Batmobile.
I did 10.6.7 standard update (not Sandy Bridge), then trashed all ATI****.kext from /S/L/E, then extracted all ATI****.kext from the MacBookPro update and installed them to /S/L/E using KextBeast (you can run a KextUtility as well if you are extra paranoid)
I'm using Kabyl branch / ATI Experimental Bootloader and I just changed GraphicsEnabler=No in my boot.plist.
FULL QE/CI without need for anything more ! Guide on it's way !
@Not Shy
I followed what you said you did. Everything seemed to go smoothly until reboot (of course!). I get the gray screen with Apple Logo, then the screen just gets goofy multicolored blocks all over it.
...and attempting to boot from my iBoot disk of course results in the "you need to restart your computer message"
I have the XFX 5770. Maybe that makes a difference?
any way for me to recover from this??
Does this new GFX kexts only work on SB systems, or wil they sometime work on none SB setups too?
Any idea if it works with Asus N61JA which has UEFI support, ATI Mobility Radeon HD5730, i5-450M ?
Does ATI Radeon HD 5750 Device ID 0x68BE
Supported ?
@Svar - I'm running a non-SB set up
@Anon - please head to my thread on the forum.
Are you using a reference design card?
I have an ATI Radeon HD 5870 Device ID 0x6898
Ran MultiBeast and selected boot option with GraphicsEnabler=No.
Rebooted. Apple logo. Spinning wheel indefinitely.
Any assistance is appreciated.
Anyone have any information on support for HD 5570?
^ Supported my friend. 5770 is a go.
On my system the msi hd 5570 is not working...
I am curious as to why it skips the 6950 support wise, or was this an error in the post?
Will a BIOS flash to a 6970 do the trick, or is it using a hardware identifier to determine the card?
nice.
wordering if ati 6770M will be also supported (notebook i7 2630qm on hp pavillion dv6 600x series)
what does "QE/CI" mean ?
best regards
roger
I run 10.6.6 with 5850 saphire Device ID: 0x6899
on board without any problem - all working fine.Should I go to 10.6.7 and what must do I do to install apples native drivers?What is are the benefits?
So, other than getting one less line in chameleon, is this actually better? Have any of you compared performance between the native drivers and the chameleon option?
As far as I know there is a difference between hd 5570 and hd 5770. So on my system the msi hd 5570 is no go.
Hey Tony & other Geeks!! can we have a proper "Supported ATi Cards Page" properly documenting which ATi cards of known brands work Natively without any tweaks/Patches
I was awaiting 6xxx confirmation to upgrade my 2 year old 4870
thx. thats nice.

@ Mehargags.
This is what the hardware section on the Tonymac Wiki is for. People can go and write their card model number, whether or not QE/CI is supported, and the methods they got it working with.
It helps new users make a more educated buying choice seeing if anyone else has got certain cards working and any issues they faced.
Since the update is so new, be patient, and people will add the cards to the database. I too was also waiting out for the 6xxx series cards to be supported. So now we play the waiting game.
Can confirm my Gigabyte AMD Radeon 5770 Batmobile is working perfectly.
Hi,
Does anyone has the DVD Player crashing ? (and Geekbench too)
Any experience with the 6970? It is listed above but noone talking about it.
My PowerColor hd 5870 working fine but the crash mentionned above...
If all future Macs will contain some form of embedded Intel graphics, does that not imply you will no longer need EFI support in the "other" GPU in order to get graphics on bootup?
Next nerd who says 'works like a charm' gets it.
I saw 68c0 in the ati 5000 kext. But when i installed the multibeast 3.4, I get blank screen and no qe/ci from screensharing and hdmi
also no sound
ATi 5750 is not supported, need to edit ATI5000Controller.kext then add device id 0x68BE1002 to the info.plist
Do the drivers support quicktime acceleration ?
Perhaps this is a thunderbolt development - perhaps the mac will be able to access an external gfx card, or perhaps several cards?
I don't get it, my 5770 already works with Kabyl's bootloader. What's the advantage here?
I have ATI Radeon 5870 - do I need Kabil's bootloader at all with 10.6.7?
Anybody try HDMI audio as working?
BTW, for those asking about QE/CI, that is Quartz Extreme and Core Image. Basically, when those are working, it means that full hardware acceleration is working in OS X.
Sapphire HD 6870 fully work. Thanks
My MSI HD5670 works with HDMI video and audio output.
I remove Graphics Enable, AitConfig, UseAtiROM.
Great!!!
Looks like Apple is done with Nvidia.
laptop 5470 hd only work external ports vga and hdmi
Hi Tony !
I'm looking for Ati Mobility HD Radeon 5470 , hope this work :(
Thanks you very much !
Recently tried Multibeast 3.4 method, Sapphire HD5670 512mb ddr5 QE/CI working, but DVD Player crashes and no HDMI audio, profile shows Device ID 0x68D8, mine is 0x68b8 do I need to edit ATI5000Controller.kext or similar or maybe mantain some originals kexts? Any help would be really appreciated. Greetings to everyone in this great community!!!
5770 MSI working in 32 Bit im trying to get the GPU to run in 64 bit
Just purchased an XFX 5870 yesterday. Currently have a GTX 275 in my system (non-SandyBridge). Would I just have to run Multibeast with the new ATI drivers, remove and replace GTX 275 with 5870, and reboot? Or is there another step that I have to take?
Working great on my XFX 5850 with GraphicsEnabler=No and 64 bit kernel.
Will this work with a Intel DX58So Mobo and a PowerColor HD 4870? I had to buy a Nvida Gt9500 Card to get the System to boot and enter the OSX installer. When I try to swap the 4870 the screen flickers.
A Few Questions...
Is there still a 4GB Ram Restriction? this box has 6GB Cosair DDR3 Triple channel RAM. How about Limitations to size of Startup Volume?
Also is there a Folder that willl allow me to run a PKG during installation perhaps from a Thumb drive.
It works on HIS HD5450 PCI (http://www.hisdigital.com/us/product2-580.shtml) on 10.6.6 and legacy kernel and ATI5000Injector .
Works perfect with
Gigabyte HD 5670 1Gb ddr3 on ASUS P3BF + Intel E6600
thank you all
THANK YOU TONY!!!!
What about the ati hd 4870 ????

I have a different query about this development. How difficult would it be to use this to install a Radeon card in my Mac Pro? Is more complicated than installing an extracted kext?
Excuse my noob ignorance, but I'm running a Gigabyte HD5770 batmobile on 10.6.7 at 64 bit with two monitors using the Multibeast method. Is there any reason that I need to tweak anything? In other words, as Mark said, "what's the advantage here?"

Hey guys !!
I'm actually building my first Hackintosh (noob) with Gigabyte Batmobile HD5770 ... How should I proceed ?? Standard MultiBeast setup ?? Will it be fully working with OS X 10.6.7 Update ?? Should I tweak something ?? Kexts ??
Any tips ??
Thanks a lot guys
Having a Powercolor 5870, and DELL U2711, at 2560x1440.
After boot the screen is flashing, and there is impossible to use the monitor.
Logging in remotely, shows that the resolution is set at 2560x1440.
Setting the resolution to some other value, and back to 2560x1440, fixes the problem.
But after reboot the monitor starts flashing again :(
Any help i preciated...
Thx in advance!

Please more details for the fully working 6870
I'm looking to buy one but there is few models out there
I want to buy the right one
Thanks
Any way to get the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 working in full res. Maybe a kext.
stiil need use AtiConfig=xxxxxx?
+1 for ATI Mobile HD5650 in full res. (shouldn't be that hard for people who know what they are doing)
So I have read all that you people have put and I am still trying to get my XFX 5770 to work without the chameleon graphics injector, but still nothing. I had found posts that say you can edit the DSDT file to get it to work, but I am not using a DSDT. I have a ASUS P7P55D-E board and pretty much everything is fine (apart from audio input). So I see no need to use a DSDT. Anyone help with the steps to get graphics enabler=no without a DSDT file in the system?
+500 for ATI Mobile HD5650 in full res ?
because 6970s have the potential of being supported, does it mean that by doing a bios upgrade on a 6950 to make it a 6970 (yes it can be done), 6950s are in fact, are indirectly supported
Will it work with Radeon HD 4730 (sapphire) Pls answer. tnx
working 5650m!
I have been struggling with an XFX Radeon HD 5750 for quite some time now, so I'm wondering if I just reinstall 10.6.3 and update with the 10.6.7 combo update, and edit the info.plist to include 0x68be1002, will I have full qe/ci support out the box? I don't see my card listed on the opening post, but I do see a comment stating that this is possible... Can anyone confirm an HD 5750 working natively?
If not, can anyone help me out with this card? Thanks :)
ok, so here is the deal...
1) install the 10.6.3 Retail
2)update with 10.6.7 combo
3)before reboot
i)run bridge helper
ii)run multibeast 3.7.1 with no any ati kext
iii)install chimera
4) and now reboot with GraphicsEnabler=No
*After that, it reboots normally with the apple logo and the thing that spins... and thats it!!! it keeps spinning forever !!!!!!!
What am i doing wrong? Please i need this to work
-Acer AspireOne 5740, i7-620m(2.8Ghz)-6GB RAM, ATI MOBILITY RADEON 5650 (1GB)
Thanks
What am i doing wrong?
How long until the 6970 is fully supported? Will it ever happen?

I have ATI radeon HD 6570... any Idea is this update will support my card..... please help me...
So I installed asus EAH6850 and it works fine without injectors, but I get the DVD player crash and my novabench scores for the card really aren't that impressive. Any ideas on how to boost the performance of the card and remedy DVD palyer crashes? QE/CI are supported supported and multiple monitors are as well.
a little late here but I just built a hackintosh to serve as a backup machine for my MBP and I purchased an ati 5450 (visiontek.. cheap didn't need anything fancy) and during my second install (the first one used to get the process down) I upgraded to 10.6.8 before messing with any graphics and when it booted it worked OOB, no injector, no enabler, worked native.
nice surprise
Anyone solve the DVD player issue? I Have a Sapphire 5770 OOB working. OS 10.6.8.
Also no EFI boot screen still?
Got a ATi Mobility 5570 1Gig id 0x68C7 didn't seem to do any res change or qe/ci until I replaced Ati5000controller.kext, atisupport, & atiframebuffer with lion kexts putting the device id in ati5000controller.kext. Afterwards got resolution change to full 1920x1080 but no qe / ci...
Anyone know how to get full hardware acceleration.
