[QUOTE="trademark, post: 1136607, member: 30066"] What?! He never said anything about the screen going black as a reality. He gave the hypothetical question of the screen going black if you used windows on the mac pro due to software limitations like pigoo stated. Pigoo has suggested the 5770 woudn't work on a windows computer because of its rom-- which is a clash with the operating system. Here he's asking a hypothetical question. IF it was a rom related problem with the graphics card, then he's saying whenever you used bootcamp, you'd expect a blank screen on startup-- which in reality you don't get. It works on bootcamp with no blank screen. Now there was an issue with the late '09 iMacs getting blank screens when installing bootcamp, but that's because apple didn't include the necessary drivers. It wasn't a rom issue. I'm not saying here the 5770 can work in a standalone windows box or not, I'm just clarifying what that guy was trying to say as his counter-argument to pigoo's posts. [/QUOTE]
