This is a component level hardware compatibility list. We want to keep it as accurate as possible, but please, do not entirely rely on this list when buying hardware. Add which parts you have working in the categories listed below, or create a new category. Please keep alphabetical order inside the categories. The categories themselves are ordered by popularity. Please list any caveats or problems as well.
Please specify if your card is AGP, PCI or PCI-E.
Also, place chip and board manufacturer in their respective column.

I was able to install the Titan kext while I was booted into the Install CD, so I got the cool Cube effect of the setup assistant! A tiny bit of lag while the card starts up again after not doing any QE/CI in a while, (Dragging something into Dashboard doesn't ripple the first time, but all times after that for like 10 minutes, unless you don't let it power down.)

10.4.8/8.8.1: AMD Final SSE2 SSE3 from Piratebay but without NV40 and X1000 , then installed latest Natit. 6600 TDH works perfectly, 7600GT need to edit Natit.kext and NV40 to include the device ID (02e0). Dual display works flawlessly on 6600, but on 7600 GT, digital output doesn't work, only works by using a convertor making both output analogue, which is bad for my cheap LCD display.
