Everything (including shadows and deferred rendering) seems to work under the latest version of OS X (10.6.7 here). It also works under the latest 10.7 developer preview. I'm using a GeForce GTX 285 on my end. On Wed, May 11, 2011 at 10:57 AM, Mysty Saunders wrote: > Every time I've tried a hac

2011-05-11 Thread Marc Adored
So I am building a machine we shall call it a haxintosh... It will be running OSX I was just wondering if ATI or Nvidia was better supported for SecondLife on OSX? I know OSX chose ATI for there machines but does SL support it or would I be better off to get Nvidia anyways? I really want everything
