According to the latest from netkas.org, they've got the Radeon HD 6970 working.

It's only for Lion.

Small how-to
1) get 10.7.2 11C48 beta (from imzdl.com for example)
2) Install all ati kexts from update with pacifist (or install whole update)
3) download this file – http://rghost.ru/20320401 and copy it to this folder – /System/Library/Extensions/ATIRadeonX3000GLDriver.bundle/Contents/MacOS/
4) install aty_init if you dont want dvd payer/steam/etc to crash (not for macpro). – http://rghost.ru/20320671


there is still few small glitches (MSAA crashes driver, opencl doesnt work) here and there.

if it stops at gray screen, reset computer, happens sometimes.







Bullet number 4 suggests how to get it working in a Hackintosh.
OS X 10.8.x/Windows 7 Pro/2009 MacPro 4,1 Xeon W3520 2.66GHz/8GB RAM/NVIDIA GTX680 2GB
