Netkas has been busy recently with Natiti with lots of support Radeon HD users. The following cards are now supported:

• 3870 X2
• 3870
• 3850
• 2600PRO
• 2600XT

The new natit can be found here. (Original Post) 2600PRO and 3850 users will need the white menu fix found in #radeonhd channel on IRC (irc.osx86.hu). The Radeon HD 3870 X2 will function as two cards if you have more than 2 DVI ports, else will appear as one, full package on IRC.

Don’t forget PC-EFI is essential for this.
