Here are the full requirements for enabling 7000-series support: As a result, you have to rely on your computer's integrated graphics card card to boot your computer (more on that later). For starters, Chameleon and Chimera bootloader don't support booting Mac OS X with these graphics cards, which use larger video BIOSes than previous generations of cards. That being said, graphics support for the 7000 series still isn't perfect. Graphics cards in the AMD Radeon HD 7000 series can now display Mac OS X at full resolution with graphics acceleration.
LATEST UPDATE (January 6, 2013): This method also works with newly-released Radeon R9 270, 270X, and 280X, all of which are really just rebranded 7000-series models. With this new support in Mac OS X, however, 7000-series graphics cards have finally become a practical option for your Hackintosh.ĭon't like this method?

Prior to this, 7000-series graphics cards did not work properly in Mac OS X while you could still boot a Hackintosh with these cards, you couldn't view your computer screen in full resolution or run any applications that required graphics acceleration. Apple added support for the 7000 series of AMD Radeon HD graphics cards last week, in version 10.8.3 of OS X Mountain Lion.
