AWESOME!!
I am completely confused now.. What is the difference between this and the normal DSDT's?
I am also confused and curious. But instead of ask, screw it, I'm gonna play with it :) I'll post back if I remember :)
If you're confused about what CustomBeast is, check out the original post here:

Hope this helps!
Any chance support will be coming for Z68 Asus boards in CustomBeast?
What happens when a new version of ios comes out? If for some reason CustomBeast needs to be changed for lion, will we get an updated version? And would it be just as easy, run update, run CustomBeast? Thanks!!
Any triple monitor support for Lion with 5770? I would do custombeast for that or donate for help!
Hi Tony
Will this solve framebuffer issue- DVD player crash etc..
for my power color 6670
no support for 6950, 6970 and 6990 graphics cards?
Tony
I am little confused what meaning of "All cards besides 6670 MUST be reference design: 2 DVI/HDMI/DP standard port configuration."
My card is power color 6670 Dvi/D-sub/Hdmi
Is that OK?
The recommended Gigabyte 6870 has 2DVI/HDMI/2x Mini DisplayPort, so not 1 display port connector as mentioned on the first post, does it still work correctly?
@ALL-
We just edited the post with the exact standard reference design port configurations. These are the ones that are supported by the CustomBeast Project. Hope this helps!
Thanks for clarifying the things. :)
I installed one week ago a Sapphire 6870 with 2DVI/HDMI/DisplayPort on my sister hackintosh and got only working DVI with Duckweed framebuffer, and DVI+HDMI when using RadeonFrameBuffer, so it could be related that it's advised to get a 2 mini DP based card when getting a 6870?
Hi tony! my GA-H61M-D2P can't be supported?
Reference design Radeon HD 6870 has 2DVI/HDMI/2MiniDP, and written in the subject line: "DVI / HDMI / MiniDP / MiniDP". This is a bug?
Explain please in more detail.
Thanks!
@myth2loki-
That is supported.
@Alexander-
Thanks for the headsup- fixed.
So does dual display work with 6870?
will 6970 6990 cards fully work?
I'm a little confused and ask for help.
In Recommended Builds for OS X, video card listed Gigabyte GV-R687OC-1GD, but after careful examination, I realized that this is not the reference design. This fact is highly confusing. I would like to ask. Will this now (MSI R6870 Twin Frozr II Dual DVI + HDMI + Dual miniDP) card reference design to work correctly with games, software, DVD player, etc. in OS X Lion?
Thank you for your reply. I really appreciate your help.
Will Custom Beast allow triple monitors with BOTH DVI ports? I'm reading that with 10.6.8, a lot of people are having trouble getting ATI cards to work in a triple monitor setup. It seems you can do it only with 1DV, 1HDMI, 1DP, but 2 DVIs will not work. Can you do dual display with 2 DVIs? In short, are the cards fully functional in this regard? Thanks!
if the cards are supported, does that mean audio through the DMMI ports will work?? cheers.
if the cards are supported, does that mean audio through the HDMI ports will work?? cheers.
This looks sweet. Except I have an ASUS p8p67 board. Any likelihood that asus boards can be supported in the future?
Brad
no support for 6770 graphic card?
is there any beast for radeon hd 4600 for 10.6.8?
If you run dual displays on a 6870 using the DVI ports use "GraphicsEnabler No" and all will be good, working very well here. I am using a XFX HD 6870.
Anonymous, thanks for the comment. You can specify exactly what model XFX 6870?
Hi Tony!
Huge gratitude from Siberia, Russia.
Radeon HD 5770 on my Gigabyte P55A UD3R works very well.
Dual display works too. ( use latest version of iBoot and MultiBeast}
Once again thanks.
Tony, I'm considering various video cards that are supported by you at the moment. However, I have a Core i3 2100 CPU with integrated graphics. I know this isn't supported in Snow Leopard. Do you know if this will be supported in Lion? I've been using a very old Radeon x300se 128mb card in the meantime, which is not even identified in OS X but does work for 1024x768 with GraphicsEnabler=No.
Hi,
I'm plannping to buy a Sandy Bridge system with i5 2400, Gigabyte GA-Z68MX-UD2H-B3 and a HD6790, which as I see isn't in the list. is it supported at all, or do I have to buy something else? or do you recommend to get something from the custoMac instead?
Thanks in advance.
re: My prior comment on the XFX 6870..its the XFX HD 6870 1GB. Device ID 6738.
Is it working in 6870 2DVI/HDMI/2MiniDP to get both DVI, DVD Player and DVI to VGA passive adapter?? ATY_INIT by netkas only DVD Player/Geekbench/Ableton Live.
Thanks
Any plan to add support for Radeon XFX HD 6770? Just now I see it's not compatible (iboot - Retail DVD don't install it). I was thinking HD6770 was the same as HD6770M, but it is not! My mistake...
Sapphire Radeon HD 6870 VAPOR-X 1GB GDDR5
Output
1 x Dual-Link DVI
1 x HDMI 1.4a
2 x Mini-DisplayPort
1 x DVI-D de un enlace (one link)
Is this card CUSTOMBEAST???
thanks in advance from SPAIN.
Hey Guys,
Sapphire Radeon HD 6750 is supported yet?
is there any beast for radeon hd 5450 for 10.6.8?
I have some problem, can somebody help me?
1. I used the newest iboot and i don't have any sound on my mac.
2. After i update to 10.6.8,I can't login app store and it said "Your device or computer could not be verified. Contact support for assistance"
Ordered and received my customBeast. It's working great! Thanks!
Hello friends!

Hey Tony!
Is quartz extreme working in Radeon HD 6870?
Thanks
Hi everyone,
XFX ATI Radeon HD 6900 2gb VGA does anyone use it? It works but only 1024x720 max.
Please share, if anyone is using the same.
Thanks.
Hey Tony
Thanks for your great work!
I gonna start installing things tomorrow (with Radeon HD 6850 like above)- do I need CustomBeast or does it work with normal Muitibeast??
Gracias
I have Sapphire Radeon HD 6870 but it has only one MiniDP port. Can I try to use CustomBeast or I should forget about it? Anyone could help?
I've already bought it so I don't want to sell it if it's not necessary.
would custombeast solve boot0 errors?
Will ATI Radeon 6870 2GB work as well?
hi Tony, i'm interesting....i have a msi hd6850??is possible???the rest of hardware are perfect....thankyou
