So what's the difference between this thread and the other Hackintosh thread? The other thread appears to still be open/etc.

I think most will agree on the dickish movies of tonymac, but at the same time, I feel like for many the tools they provide are the easiest/most-straightforward, and there should be a section on them as part of the OP.

What's the current status of using a Radeon 7970 with 10.8.4? I've tried looking at the various sites (InsanelyMac, Tonymac, OSX86 etc) and it seems like cornments vary from it being "out of box" supported to requiring a lot of effort. I'm not against either, just curious what you all think.

So hopefully someone can educate me more on this issue since I've had a hard time finding info, but why is it that it seems like it is easier to use, say, a Radeon 79xx card on an actual Mac Pro vs. a Hackintosh? I know that with the Mac Pro, using a PC 79xx card will result in no screen until the OS fully loads, but otherwise it seems to work done. By comparison on a Hackintosh it seems as if you need to do some type of additional trick or such (such as the sleep trick or enabling the integrated GPU if available) to get the card to work. Seems as if ideally the behavior should typically be the same?
