Hello everybody,
First of all, excuse me for my bad English. I hope I won't make any mistakes.
I have a Mac Pro, not early 2008, 8 core models. 2.66 ghz one.
Recently i purchased ATI Radeon HD 3870 graphic card. I am using this computer to record music and also with bootcamp to play games.
I read the system requirements for the card, and it says i have to use Leopard OS. But some reasons, I don't want to use Leopard right now.
So I install the drivers for bootcamp (Windows), and use the card just for playing. And I am very pleased with performance.
However, last day, I forgot to press "alt" button to enter Windows, so Os X tiger booted. And the card worked just fine. After one week it still works just fine with both Windows and Tiger OS X.
But I wonder, can that card make any harm to itself, or my computer or anything else without working with proper drivers and OS?
I hope I made myself clear,
Thanks for reading,
Tunc Akin
EDIT: Sorry, I misspelled the name of the card in title. It should be 3870 not 3780
