    about apple’s 5870


    apple’s 5000 cards are modded
    normal 5000’s have 2 DVI, 1 HDMI and 1 DP
    apples 5000 have 1 DVI, 2 DP

    cards

    apples 5870 are pretty ok in price, $449. but remember, to attach a dual link DVI display to a DP port, you need an active adapter. those are expensive, about $100.

    so apple’s card will be very expensive if you have monitors larger then 24″ that are not from apple.

    latest news

  • 5870 up at Apple Store, $449
  • Apple 5870 works in 2006 and newer mac pro’s
  • Apple lies about 5870 only working in 2009/2010 mac pro’s, again
  • we do not have apple 5870 mac rom yet
  • zeus support for 5870 is unconfirmed
  • zeus 2.0 releasing this week. sorry for delay.

  • Zeus 2.0 New features:

    Automatic firmware generator for 4870 / 4890
    Nvidia overclocking and tweaking
    Cleaner interface

    thanks again to donaters.
    thas is all for now.

    Zeus 2.0

    today I turned 19, happy birthday to me :D
    my present would be that groths.org today reached daily average hits record, 600 hits

    I am working hard on next update on Zeus. It’s gonna be a big one.

    expecting release within 10 days.

    exciting progress

    I just found out a way to completely automize the rom creation process. what does this mean? well, paired up with pipomolo42’s pythonscript, the end of searching for roms on macrumors for 4870/4890 cards! with the push of a button, EFI support will be added to any 4870/4890 rom file. It’s still not finished, but it will be included in next zeus update. Theoretically this function could be expanded to support future cards such as 5870, but first Apple must release the card so we can dump it’s efi part.

    10.6.4 QECI patch is out, Nvidia overclocking coming to zeus

    netkas just released patch for ati radeon cards in 10.6.4, the download link in Zeus works now :)

    also, The Rominator posted about a darwin port of nvclock
    this is great, and enables overclocking of nvidia cards in osx
    I am already working on implementing the tool into zeus

    10.6.4 is out

    Zeus has been updated to carry a QECI downloader for 10.6.4

    However, the patch, which is made by netkas, is not yet created, netkas has hinted that he will be done with the patch sometime tomorrow. so for now, the button will give an error message.

    For those of you who passed through this flashing thing in bliss, I’m reminding that the QECI patch is the patch you need to re-enable Quartz Extreme and Core Image support for excotic cards, software that manages most of the graphics in OSX.

    If you are having issues with a non-excotic card, such as the 4870, you probably still need the 10.6.2 framebuffers and so you should use http://groths.org/dualdvi.zip

    To get the 10.6.4 button in Zeus just press Get Updates in the Driver section.

    going on vacation for 1 week tomorrow, so hope this sorts out.
