Nåja, nå som software virker og hardwaren fungerer, så er det bare å sette på en film, og la det stå over natten. Klart til visning dagen etterpå :)

Men joda, det er en noe treg prosess. 7 timer for 2 minutt adhd-film hvor du snaut rekker å få med deg hva, hvor, når eller hvorfor før filmen er ferdig, og da gjerne gjennom 4 årstider på samme rullen, hihi.

You can use the .IMG file with the ATI flasher. Doesn’t matter what file extension it has. Rename it to .BIN if that helps ;-)

Harald really need your help please. Just brought one of these cards, and need to flash the image. However your file format *.img, I can’t seem to do anything with.
Do you have the actual modified ROM I can burn directly to the card using the ATI Flasher please.
I’d be so grateful if you can help me out mate!

Many Thanks!!

I bought two cables from eBay (search for pcie cable mac) – they aren’t cheap at £10 each, but these plus the price of the card (£90) is still a far cry from the £280 that apple want! ATI also sell the official cables from their store (alas, US and CAN only) at http://shop.ati.com/product.asp?sku=3280778

If you have an early-2009 Mac Pro then you can’t use the molex adaptor as they don’t have any molex connectors! (all SATA now, finally)

I’d also advise making your own ROM instead of using pre-built ones, presuming you do it correctly you’re less likely to cause problems, and you should make a backup of your original ROM using GPU-Z.

Hi, I haven’t “solved” the power issue yet, so I’ve just used the molex connectors from the superdrive bay with the cables that shipped with the card. But you can buy an additional pcie power connector and connect it to the motherboard.

I’ve got a three-monitor setup on my Mac Pro, with the XFX HD4870 running two screens and the old ATI 2600 XT running one screen. I don’t have 30″, so I can not verify if dual-link on the DVI-ports is working. Normal dual-head setup works perfectly though.

My exact ROM is at http://ondskap.net/XFX-HD4870.IMG.

Hey I am thinking about getting this card. I was wondering if you had the finished rom about I could use. Also does it work with dual DVI in snow leopard. Please get back to me ASAP I need to order it in by this weekend to get it in time. Thanks.

PS how did you solve the power issue btw? Did you order the special cables?

Thanks for this! Just went and bought this exact model number from eBuyer here in the UK (and PCIe power cables…) after verifying with someone (i.e. you!) that this model number actually works in OS X! hoping that this will prove to be a nice and cheap upgrade for my new mac pro as I should be able to sell the stock GT120 for around 70% the cost of the 4870!
