Desde hace un tiempecito, están dando soporte para la serie 5 y la serie 6 de AMD... (Y ahora para que leas un poquito)
ATi Graphic Cards | Tabu theme on EFiX system?
Disregard the people tell you.
ATi will and does work on EFiX systems.
So why ATi is called unsupported?
Everything is simpler than you could imagine.
If you got an NVidia graphic card, so the EFiX detect it and analyze it, before the information is delivered to Operation System (like Mac OS X).
This help to avoid unexpected crashes or another issues of your system.
For ATi such mechanisms does not exist in EFiX at the moment yet.
So if you got any issues with your ATi graphic card while using it, for example with Mac OS X,
so ASEM team or support can not help you, even if they would like to.
So does it means that i can use ATi graphic cards at my own risk?
Yes, absolutely.
However, currently there are more limitations with ATi graphic cards than with NVidia.
Due to the fact, that EFiX does not have any mechanisms to control the data provided by ATi graphic cards to Operating System, so only those graphic cards will work, which are natively supported by Mac OS X original drivers.
Which ATi graphic cards are then supported?
For this information please check official documentation on Apple.com
You can use also normal PC ATi graphic cards, also not by Apple branded only.
However to find the compatible is slightly gambling.
The test is simple. Plug-in and see if you got high resolution and 3D acceleration.
If not, then your graphic card is not supported.
Note: Support of ATi graphic cards by native drivers are vary from Mac OS revision to another.
So always update to the latest revision your Mac OS X, before you consider the card for definitive unsupported.
How do i boot into Mac OS X with ATi graphic card in EFiX System?
Simple. Just boot as usual.
In case of it doesn't work, so boot to EFiX Graphical User Interface (Boot Manager), then select your media and press few time "g" key (this will deactivate native EFiX graphic support) and then press the "Enter"-Key
Note: If your graphic card does not work or cause Kernel Panics, so it is definitive not supported.
Pero vamos, si es ruidosa, cambiale el ventilador a la gráfica y listo.
