Yup some Dual DVI cards don't work with the new 10.6.3 kext.
You can simply replace them with the ones from 10.6.2 I attached to this post.
Simply boot in windows and replace the 10.6.3 files from system/library/extensions with the old 10.6.2 from the attachement.
Reboot into OSX and it probably works but buggy now.
You will need to rebuild extensions permissions and cache for it to work correctly.
You can do that with options in multibeast or kext utility or osx86tools etc
Good luck.

YES:) It´s working i cant belive it!
Thank you very much! couldn´t have done it without you Leonoid.
Ill buy you a beer next time you are in Stockholm ;)
 
@Cindori

Asus working.

@fritzflint

Ok super!
Dit you check if you got water ripples if you add a widget in dashboard?
Then you know it works.
 
Ha ha :) my asus 4870 just died.... the fan stopped working before even trying to mod the fan speed! I found out to late that the asus card is very famous for dying after a couple of days.

Back on step one with 2 non working gpus :mad: Grande fiasko!!!
buu huu
 
Asus

@fritzflint

Just the fan died or the whole thing died?
If you are able to flash it back you can return it?

Only the fan.
Yes i managed to flash it back i had like 1 minute in atiflash so i had to hurry before the card was up to 124 c and crashed.

So i have returned it and got the money back.

Now i only have an unuseble 4890 vapor-x perhaps time to sell it. and get a more compatible card.. any suggestions
 
Vapor x

@fritzflint

Your rom is the same as this one.
I think you gave up too soon on your 4890.
Flash it in dos with the rom from the post.
You already installed the Dual DVI Fix for 10.6.3.
Download Zeus and update it to the latest version.
Install the exotic card stuff with Zeus included for 10.6.3.
Maybe remove Natit if present.

Put the beast in slot one and pray...

If it doesn't work sell it to someone who is happy with just PC functionality...

Fritzflint's 4890 ROM

@Fritzflint

Just to be sure I made a rom from your 4890 bin file.
So install dual dvi for 10.6.3. ( Which you did for the 4870 )
Install the latest 10.6.3 drivers for exotic cards install.

Flash card with the rom from this post.
Probably best to remove natit.
Put the card solo in the first slot.
Attach 1 monitor.
And tell me if it worked ;-)

YEAH !!!!! Card Flashed !!!

I did not gave up, and finally got results I was awaiting !

Big UP & THX to Leonyd and Cindori !

I will post a review for Flashing this 4870 asus 1go ddr5 graphic card that comes with a bios dated 3 March 2010 !

I bought it on thuesday 4 of May, this week, and it takes me over 30 hours to find out what was going wrong and to perform the flash, but now everything is running and the card rocks !


I can now finally go to have a shower and shave my face !
