[QUOTE="jowan, post: 1720832, member: 379379"] I dual boot a 2015 27" iMac - OSX and Ubuntu. In mac, my graphics card is a : [B]R9 M380[/B] But in Linux it is a : [B]FirePro M6100[/B] Please see Ask Ubuntu on Stack Exchange [url]http://askubuntu.com/questions/798636/ati-graphics-imac-27-incorrect-graphics-card-reported/[/url] Linux as it is clearly querying the device asking it for information, where as the Mac just says what it is told to. [B] Who is correct here ?[/B] If Mac is wrong - then they have clearly falsely described the hardware they sold me - [I]Naughty Macintosh[/I] ! update : Mac users are saying Mac is correct and Linux users are saying Linux is correct. Before this turns in a Linux VS OSX pointless discussion may I say that I have used Linux on a Mac since 2007 with Ubuntu for PowerPC - I love them both dearly. What I am after here is some technical evidence - may be some Links ? spec sheets ? commands for Mac to query the hardware ? NOT anecdotal evidence or Linux insults (lest we not forget its a grandchild of BSD) [/QUOTE]
