So it seems Apples framebuffer personality doesn't like your card then...

@ Fl0r!an
have you ever heard about anyone who flashed with success a 5850 card, seeing the gray boot screen?

Well.. i finally discovered my problem, myrom was not showing the extension, i had to add .rom to it.
But now my problem is other... i always lose the second mcuc when i apply the scripts, probably i'm screwed as netkas said.
I can't made a custom rom with my original bios.
Can i use a rom from other user to flash my sapphire? It's a 5870.
Thanks

@ Fl0r!an
have you ever heard about anyone who flashed with success a 5850 card, seeing the gray boot screen?
I have a 5870 in a 2008 mac pro which seem to work fine apart from I get nothing displayed before the desktop comes up. This was a pc card bought already flashed for mac use. Is it possible to have the pre-desktop display on this card? ATI Radeon HD 5870: Chipset Model: ATI Radeon HD 5870 Type: GPU Bus: PCIe Slot: Slot-2 PCIe Lane Width: x16 VRAM (Total): 1024 MB Vendor: ATI (0x1002) Device ID: 0x6898 Revision ID: 0x0000 ROM Revision: 113-C0780C-194 EFI Driver Version: 01.00.436 |

The HD 5870 from this thread will give a boot screen when using a VGA display, not through DVI connections. My ROM (other thread) gives boot screens on ONE DVI port, all others stay blank during pre-OS phase.

That would be handy, I use one dvi and one hdmi with dual screens currently so to have bootup on my main dvi screen would be great! A link to the thread would be great and any help flashing, not done before. Thanks! |

Me again  So I dumped my existing rom and went through the tutorial but using '5870mod2.efi'. My card was purchased already flashed from a pc card to work on mac pro (not sure on specifics) and checking the .rom for instances of 'mcuc' it had two. Going through the tutorial editing the hex ends up with just one 'mcuc'. Should I source a stock rom file to do this rather than my dump since its been modded already? My dump is attached if anyone could take a quick look. Thank you. |

Managed to get it to work. I was using the '5870mod2.efi' file but then noticed the file size on the '5870mod2.efi.rom' matched the netkas version so tried that, renaming to .efi.
Thanks!

VideoCard was recognized to be HD6870 if I perform a flash of ROM of Sapphire HD6850.
Please tell me the method to let a system recognize this card as HD6850.
ROM is files which I downloaded from this forum.
macOS Sierra 10.12.2.
