Confusion regarding flashing a 5870

[Ommid]

Hi all

Looking to flash an XFX 5870 using 587XZF18_uakari.rom

But all the discussions regarding this seem to be old and I get a feeling that there is some indication that as of 10.6.6 there is no need to actually flash the card and you can simply install it, is this right or wrong?

Thanks

I don't remember if I was using 10.6.6 or something before but I definitely had to flash mine.

I know, applied 2 days ago, still waiting for approval.

Thanks, realised I need those stupid cables for the graphics card so another hurdle 🙁

At least the card looks nice 😀

Hi,

I recently installed a 5870 in my early 2009 Mac Pro (card purchased from other world computing) running snow leopard and did not have to flash the video card to get it to work.

Hope this helps.

Well of course you don't need to flash an Apple card...
