A specific operating system update to Mac OS X 10.6.7 MacBook Pro includes native support for several graphics cards AMD Radeon series 5000 and 6000. Thanks to this new Quartz Extreme and CoreImage received an interesting performance boost when used on these GPUs. In addition to technical aspects, support also means that the Radeon HD 6xxx in the list below, can be used for the next models with Sandy Bridge processors expected in April.
In addition, users of the Mac Pro will no longer continue to buy the special version, and often more expensive, the same graphics card, on the contrary will be able to access all the available offers on the "standard" products for Windows. No news, however, about the support for NVIDIA cards.
This is the complete list of cards supported natively by Mac OS X 10.6.7: ATI Radeon HD 5630, ATI Radeon HD 5630, ATI Radeon HD 5670, ATI Radeon HD 5730, ATI Radeon HD 5770, ATI Radeon HD 5850, ATI Radeon HD 5870, AMD Radeon HD 6850, AMD Radeon HD 6870, AMD Radeon HD 6970
