Using almost the same method as outlined in that post I have a working installation of Yosemite.
#Procedures for installing ati radeon 5870 in mac pro install#
You can read all about the method I used to install Mavericks despite this limitation in this previous post:- Mac Pro 1,1 and Mavericks. As many of you will know the original 2006 Intel powered Mac Pro does not sport the required 64bit EFI to allow either Mavericks or Yosemite to install via the usual method. Good luck and feel free to ask any questions and let us know if you were successful.Having let the dust settle a little from the initial release of OS X Yosemite, I decided to take the plunge and see if I could coax it on to my Mac Pro 1,1. Replace # and of course change name of bios where it says "NAME of the BIOS".rom and do not type the " " they are just to point things out.Ītiwinflash -f -p "#" "NAME of the BIOS.rom" This should give you a box with your two cards info and a number before them. So you need to find out which card is which. Now because you likely have two ATI cards since you stated you currently have an ATI HD2800XT in your Mac Pro you will need to tell Winflash what to flash. Now type "cmd" at your run line in start up in Windows 7 or 8 or in Windows 10 at the bottom search box to get the CMD window with Dos Prompt which should read a little something like this or close to it doesn't really matter. Then right click on the program "ATIWinflash" and select "Run as administrator" and ok the windows security feature.ĪTIWinflash will start click ok and it will close. Go to C:\Windows\AMD\ and drop the new modified rom file into the folder. The only thing not detailed is the part to download the flash.zip file and extract it in your home folder in OS X then follow the instructions in the first post. PC5870.rom įind your file at C:\Windows\AMD\ and drop it onto a USB Flash drive or something to transfer over to your Mac. I usually use the card # 5870 and put PC in front of it ie. Now click on save and save your rom file. Right click on the program "ATIWinflash" and select "Run as administrator" and ok the windows security feature.ĪTIWinflash will start and show you the info of your cards obviously select the AMD Radeon HD 5800 Series and it will give you the DeviceID and other info.

Install ATI Drivers from ATI Website if not already installed I'll try to outline the PC part as if you have never done this before. Have you never flashed a card before? If not you will need access to a PC or have a Windows Partition installed on your Mac Pro. Best regards.ĭid you buy the card yet? Because although not really mentioned you need to get a reference card so that it can give you a boot screen with all ports or most at least.
Please post the reply here on the website or you can also email me at: in advance.

I'm sure you guys have managed to run the PC-based card ATI Radeon HD 5870, to flash it with Apple EFI ROM, and it works with the Mac Pro right? Can someone please guide me with a procedure to do so? I'm currently on MAC OS X El Capitan 10.11.
Now, I wish to have an Apple Boot Screen when I turn on the Mac Pro. I read here on the forum, that it is able to run with the 2008 3,1 Mac Pro, which is a good news. I'm currently on a project to replace my HD2800XT 256MB (Apple Standard) that comes with the 2008 3,1 Mac Pro 2.8Ghz Quad Core Intel Xeon with ATI Radeon HD 5870 1GB PCIe DVI x 2 HDMI Display port 256 Bits HD5870.
