A bit out there, but I've got a 1gb HD5770 that I'd like to replace with an older and slower 1gb GT250 due to incompatibilities with the Hackintosh I'm building.

The Radeon supports DirectX 11, has HDMI out and supports Crossfire/PCI 2.0 etc. Unfortunately Mac OSX only supposrts the 4000 series of Radeons and the Geforce's.

I'll also consider a GeForce 9800. 1GB RAM preferred. I'm in VIC, but I can post it with orignal packaging.

Saves me having to go out and spend $150 on a new video card and having to shelf my existing one.

Are you trading your card for the slower card plus cash or just seeing if someone can hook you up free?

HD5770's a newer card than the GT250, so just straight swap. Bought it a 3 weeks ago from MSY. $170 for HD5770 and $150 for the GT250. Basically offering a free upgrade to whoever has a GT250.

I may be able to source one for you, I might have one lying around in the shop. If I find one, you can keep your card and I'll send you it for free.

oooo that would be epic.

you're building a Mac.

FAIL

I'm building a PC to dualboot Win7 and OSX. The only reason I'm installing OSX is so that can use the iPhone SDK instead of some abstraction layer to develop iPhone/iPad apps. Not like I'm a fan of rounded edges on windows or single mouse buttons.

A 5770 is going to struggle to run 3 monitors you know?

A 5850 is what you need for reasonable eyefinity performance :rofl:

Thats the only issue with Eyefinity, whilst it does look all nice and shit, the mid-range cards simply can't run the games with all the reasonable candy on so it's kinda like "whats the point" :(

It's the only reason I've still got my 4890 as well... until the 5850 gets under around $280-$300 i'll hold onto my 4890!

Then add in the cost of two (or 3) monitors... lol oh jebus that's going to be expensive

well im wanting it more for the desktop work use, but if i got back into gaming again id just buy another and run crossfire or run it on my middle 32" which is big enough anyways i have a 22" on its side next to it, wouldn't mind getting another for the other side.

Leme know if you want the 4890 mate, its a HIS as well :D still got box and all.

Is it this one?

Are you using it atm? Can I pick it up and see if it works in my rig? A bit skeptical about ATI cards and OSX, but apparently the 4800 series is rumoured to work.

yeh sure, what brand / specs is yours?

also just need to research first that i can actually display portrait landscape portrait configuration, for some reason doesnt show it here:

what boot loader you using?

We have to set up our Macs here to dual boot WinXP since Win7 isn't compatible with ReFit. Might just be easier to buy a s/h 20" imac or something and just throw Snow Leopard on it rather than stuffing around with different hardware configs etc.

yeah the idea of a mac mini did appeal to me, all up this process has cost me a couple of days and $30 for an official Apple Snow Leopard disc. If the costs to get this done go over $300 then I'll probably get a mini.

I've got it dualbooting and working so far on the standard VESA driver. its a little laggy though, hence the desire to get some hardware acceleration instead of relying on the CPU to calculate the framebuffer.

boot loader? not sure. Think it's kalyway?

meh I don't know a great deal about them, it's better that way, but the amount of f**king around to get them to talk to a Windows based domain controller is ridiculous!

AFAIK, our devs use Windows machines to do all the programming of our propietary app anyway.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
