GNRambo Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 I dont think you can, you need a MAC 9800 :( Or atleast you need your Pbook to support that card.

BTallack Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 It used to be possible to flash the firmware in the 8500 cards, but the new Radeons have different chips altogether for Mac and for PC, so it's no longer possible to just patch the firmware. You will need to buy a Mac 9800. :( Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/271883-use-my-radeon-9800-pro-in-my-powermac/#findComment-585299787 Share on other sites More sharing options...
