5770 and 5870 in MacPro and rom
I used efi rom from new imac’s 5750 and original 5770 pc rom to create custom hybrid rom.
It works in osx, no injector used.
Since I used mobility ATI rom we have nothing from card on boot, but once osx booted – the card works.
Both dvi ports work, displayport works too, 3 displays doesnt work atm.
Once we have macpro’s 5770/5870 roms boot screen should work too. But for now you can already enjoy 5770 in your macpro.
It only works on 2008+ macpros, because efi is 64-bit now, not ebc anymore.
screenshots and the rom:
before flashing you also need to install driver.
Also, 5870 is working too in macpro.

Any chance for ATI5650?
What’s the chance of using both Nvidia and ATi in the same machine with monitors on both.
5870 64bit driver ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Really great work!
Does it work on hackintoshes to???
Thx
I was looking at Sapphire’s webpage, and I see that they have that Vapor-X version of the card. Is that just as good as a regular Sapphire 5770? I would think it’s the same card, with just another cooling. Anyone know about this?
“Since I used mobility ATI rom we have nothing from card on boot, but once osx booted – the card works.” Does that mean mobility 5xxx support is on the way? I think I’m misreading?
///you are misreading, btw, imacs use displayport to connect internal display to their mobility card, and most laptops out there with aty mobility uses LVDS, which isnt supported by ati osx drivers
@netkas
Great work again. Just curious, do you know which Framebuffer personality gets loaded by the Apple branded/apple rom flashed 5770s?
///original 5750 efi rom used Colobus (iMac)
Any idea if the 5870 2gb card is a possibility?
Netkas, your ATI_init and drivers and instructions worked on 5750 for me. Thank you. I tried Vervet framebuffer, as you stated, but it boots to empty extended desktop. Tried to get a VESA res at boot prompt, but no go. Are your instructions above applicable to 5750. I’d like to try to flash rom and apply your info, it’s ALWAYS a step forward, Thank You, johnm
///its only for MacPRO
hey, just wanted to point out that already there is a way to get the EFI boot screens on 5770, though you need 2 of same/similar monitor.
I will futz around with 5870 some more, maybe some combo of connections will do the same for it too.
Great work Netkas !!!
Does anyone have a guide for installation? I found this:
http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=227418&st=0&p=1523796&
What about the 5750 cards, is the same installation process?
See this : Apple Seeds ‘Snow Leopard Graphics Update’ to Developers
http://www.macrumors.com/2010/08/04/apple-seeds-snow-leopard-graphics-update-to-developers/
does it work with ATI 5870 mobility with hackint0sh ?
What MacPro gestalt does this work on? Is MacPro 2,1 OK?
Hi netcas!
Could you do a ROM for Sapphire ATI 5870 1GB ?
@netkas could you please test if hdmi audio works?
///it doesnt
Anyone has installed the kexts and had luck with an ATI Mobility 5870? Please post instructions if so.
Thanks
Is there such thing like Natit for ATI? also does ATI use NVCap strings that one could extract from the BIOS like with nvidia?
Keep up the good work Netkas.
I really hope this card works with the 2006 1,1 Mac Pro.
My 8800gt just burnt out:(
Will there be something for 4670? I try other methods but do not work.
Is this driver package the same as the other one in the post 4 hackintoshes(only 32-bit)? or is this from the apple seed(and if not can it work on a hackintosh)? I have a Sapphire 5870 working now in a hackintosh and it is working perfect, but having issues with other progs/hardware in 32-bit mode….
TNX!
///its old
The biggest problem I’ve had with those earlier ATI 5700 drivers (mentioned a month ago) and these is that it seems to make my screen go grey, or it gets stuck on the Apple logo, occasionally I might get video garbage, BUT…..I can still hear the pop sound if I change my volume and using my Macbook Pro, I can view my desktop via “Screen Sharing”.
If I remove all the ATI drivers, it will only let me view at a ghastly 1024×768 instead of 1080.
I would love to get my ATI 5750 card working on my Hackintosh. I guess in the meantime I’ll have to keep using my Macbook Pro.
I wonder if this fixes the displayport to mini-displayport issue on the ATI57xx and 58xx series. Would be nice to be able to use a 27″ ACD with it.
hi Netkas,
currently using your Hackintosh beta for the 5850.
Are you going to release updated drivers for the hackintosh people or have you moved on to bigger things?
Thankful for what you’ve done already, just curious if one day the drivers will give us HDMI audio.
Thanks again,
DOBBy

Try using the newest voodoohda.kext from Multibeast. I have heard that it enables audio on HDMI for 5xxx series cards.
will give it a try.
Thank you much!
Actually,
I’m going to wait on the voodoohda. It might work, but I’m using a DSDT, legacy889a, AppleHDA, etc.
I don’t know enough about what to remove and how to edit the DSDT in order to safely use voodoohda.
Still, thanks for the suggestion!
Hello
netkas, can you build a Rom for the 5570 1gb ? The Card is not so different to 5750
Is anybody here who has a 5570 ?
Netkas,
If you plan on working on the 5770 (xfx 1gb) and polishing up a release for the hackintosh community, I will GLADLY donate your way for the work. I may not have the knowledge to help but I can at least support something I have been waiting for. I love the card but with only use hackintosh. Seeing this setup, I have hope.
When will be normal 5870 64bit driver on hackintosh???????????
aye, ya, ya…
I wonder how these guys do this work with so many crazy questions.
When this!?
When that!?
At least be polite!

Apple has the ATI 5770 and 5870 listed on their website, and believe it or not the prices are (aprx) on-par with what you’d pay for non-Apple cards. I guess Apple is tired of everyone flashing their PC video cards. However, I doubt these Apple cards will decrease in price when the PC ones do.
So do I want THIS 5770?
http://www.cbit.ca/product.php?productid=13687&cat=905&page=2
Or THIS 5770?
http://www.cbit.ca/product.php?productid=13892&cat=905&page=2
Enquiring minds want to know!
The price equivalancy may also mean that we get an EBC ROM loaded card. The design of the Apple branded 5870 appears to be of the SAPPHIRE 100290SR Radeon HD 5870 (Cypress XT) type, only with 1 GB instead of 2 GB of VRAM. Kinda disappointing on the VRAM side, but still not a bad card in the least.
Here’s hoping that these cards are EBC so they can be used in 1,1 Mac Pros, even if that means a forced upgrade to 10.6.4.
Hello there,
quick Q: I have a vanilla MacPro,3.1 (from 2008) with the Nvidia 8800 GT that was available as BTO option. I’d like to upgrade to a new graphics card and the xfx 5870 looks nice, but there are different versions available to purchase (850M, 865M, 875M with 1 or 2GB ram) so I wonder which one to get?
And how do I flash the .rom file?
Cheers and thanks,
-J
Does anybody have tried it to inject it via chameleon bootloader via VideoROM?????
@Netkas
Would that work on an hackintosh via chameloen?
Oh and one second question: does this work flashed card then in Snow Leopard (vanilla) and Windows 7 (bootcamp installation) alike?
does ATi 5650 supported yet? answer me!!!, i’m a consumer of hackintosh, i like to have QE/CI for professionalism, all i need now is answer

look out for your 64bit driver
Hi Netkas. Thx for the awesome work you did already for the community.
I have two questions:
1st The normal display port is that port now capable to drive resolutions above 1920 X 1200 like 2560 X 1440 etc ?
2nd I have a 27 inch iMac witch can be used as a monitor. The normal PC bios in the 5xxx videocard cant drive the monitor due an incomapatibility issue. A 4890 with displayport can drive it … but the 5xxx not. Will a reflash solve this issue too ? Thx man for replying…
Mr. x,
You might want to be a bit less demanding. If and when the 56×0 series is supported, it’ll be clearly stated. Netkas is very thorough with delivering info to the followers here.
Can anyone tell me how to use this rom file for the 5870, and how I uninstall the drivers I am currently running for the 5870 in my hackintosh? I would really appreciate it…

ME TOOOOOO!
If you can make the 5770 work in 64bit snow leopard hackintosh that would be worth a nice donation….
Any chance to Modify the EFI Rom to work on a ATI Radeon 5850 with 1 or 2 GB Video RAM?
Guess there is no hope for 5970s after all
You do great work netkas, but I had the hardest time contacting you on another issue. Anyways with all the new ati support I’m about to endevor on installing a gigabyte bios board and a gv-r455d3-512 (a 512mb ddr3 4550 board from gigabyte, is there anyway to mod that one’s bios if I send you a dump or is it not needed, because all that is needed is some kext plist editing?
terramir
PS: got a question about cloned usb booting and pcefi (works with dell efi 1.2(something but not with standard chameleon versions) if you could contact me would be great. Tried to sign-up for your forums but signup is disabled
what tools will use in flashing rom?TIA
Any way to streamline this into a 10.6.0 install disk? It’s the only card I have and I’d like to run through the install through my iBoot Supported bootloader.
Thanks
Is it possible to have a 5870 in a 2007 Mac Pro? Thanks
Hi the article describe that the 5770 also works in the mac 3.1 (early 2008) but the apple website say only for 2010 mac. Did anyone test the 5770 card on a early 2008 (800 Mhz Frontsidebus )mac ?

Hi Netakas
I have a sapphire 5870 OC: http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/?leg=&psn=000101&pid=326
It is installed in my 2008 (3,1) macpro and is working in Windows 7.
I have attempted to flash the BIOS with XFX5870_1.rom using ATIWinflash 20111, however it gives me a “SubsystemIDs mismatch” error with a mysterious Continue button. Which flashing too should I be using?
Hi Netkas,
Are you going to dev 5650 mobility driver as well?
Regards,

Hi
I’ve attempted to flash XFX5870_1.rom as per post 53, using the atiflash DOS utility.
I’m receiving an error 0FL01 when trying to force the BIOS onto the card:

The 5870 is the only card present in the machine.
Hi everybody,
I have an Asus PC 5770, can I flash to the rom of sapphire \ XFX?
I have success with this card:

On a Mac pro 4,1..Booted from lastest version of The Ultimate Boot CD ( 5.0.2) + Atiflash + Saphire_vanilla.rom
This command: atiflash -p 0 -f Saphire_vanilla.rom
Screen show only when os x booted completely.
Performance: Not much like original GT120 OEM at the moment…may be better with Mac pro 5770 ROM + original 5770 pc rom to create custom hybrid rom.

Thanks to Netkas ROM 5770, the Gigabyte card GV-R577UD-1GD HD5770, worked perfectly. I just would like to know how are you guys solving the problem with the cables. I upgraded from an ATI Radeon HD 4870 (Mac Version) which already had the power cables. I’d like to buy a new set of cables to use the 4870 in another macpro. Can somebody tell me where can I find them?
Test DVI ports
Greetings and Netkas, you are the BEST!!!!
Successfully flashed a Sapphire 5870 Vapor-X.
The main difficulty was getting to a DOS prompt. In the end, I used the standard FreeDOS ISO file and burned it to a CD. I initially wanted to use a USB stick, but no matter what I tried, the Mac would not see it as a boot device.
When launching FreeDOS, select 1 to run FreeDOS, then 1 again to “install”. Select keyboard and then select LiveCD option.
Once at the command prompt, you can just plug a USB stick (it’ll mount in A:) with atiflash and the ROM file and get flashing.
Thanks Netkas and others and good luck on getting the EFI screen loading!
I am a noob, and have no idea how to install the atirom can anyone give me instructions. This is my first hackintosh.
hey netkas can you build rom for HD 5570 1gb? thx

Hello? Nekas!
I is a 2008 Early Mac Pro users!
First of all, thank you for giving me a great ROM created.
XFX Radeon HD 5770 1GB Triple X graphics card installation was successful.
But also the boot logo screen (the gray Apple mark) does not appear.
To solve this problem, I tried hard, but there was no way to investigate the Internet.
Now the key issue of the 5770 saphire vanilla design card rom for the imac m5770 rom found out that it was built on.
Since that time I Radeon HD 5770 for Mac Pro start looking for the rom and the last one was achieved from netizens.
This is my graphics card is inserted in Rom file will not boot. Are scared of recognition.
Rom file and give it to Nekas Dual link DVI even see the boot screen to create a new Rom File help please?
Or until now how can I watch the boot screen?
I live in South Korea because of poor English language skills do not.
I hope you can understand. ^ ^
Thank you.
PS: If you tell me your email address for Apple Mac Pro Radeon HD 5770 rom files, I’ll send you.

I have a Apple ATI 5770 in my hands along with a XFX ATI 5770, the Apple version is for a friend but I have a XFX currently running in my MacPro 1,1 but I would like to try to rip the ROM from the Apple ATI 5770 how do I go about this. I will post the ROM for everyone when I get it ripped.
