wrote in to tell us that Apple has included native graphics
acceleration for some AMD/ATI Radeon HD 5xxx and 6xxx cards in the Mac
OS X 10.6.7 Update for early 2011 MacBook Pro (Sandy Bridge).
Why is Apple supporting all of these generic/PC graphics cards? Perhaps
some (but certainly not all?) of those video cards above will be
included in upcoming iMacs. But it is likely bigger than that. Tony
thinks that Apple may just have started to support native, off the shelf
PC video cards.
This is certainly big news for those in the Hackintosh community. The
10.6.7 update also introduced a Sandy Bridge Kernel but takes steps to
try to confirm that you are on a new MacBook Pro.
See the list of the new supported graphics cards after the break.
