Q: ATI Radeon HD 5870 Driver for Mac OS X
I have a 2009 Mac Pro with a default NVidia GeForce GT 120 graphics card AND the ATI Radeon HD 5870 as a additional graphics card which is hooked into my two external monitor.
I had been having non - stop kernel panic, where i was forced to reinstall mountain lion, and still got kernal panic. But i switched my ram slots, and it somehow seems to be stable now, and just finished installing my mountain lion.
Two of my external displays are not detected now, and i have done updating all my software updates for mountain lion. Can't find the driver for MAC for ATI Radeon HD 5870 in google, ati, amd websites as well.
Can someone please provide me the link for mac driver download?
When i had snow leopard, software update made it work. But not now.
Please assist.

When did i ever deny the answer?
I myself aware that software update should fix this issue from my previous experience with snow leopard.
But it did not help with mountain lion. Just wanted to understand what could be the issue, and what 's the trial that i can make to have this resolved.
I did try to remove the graphics card and put it back, but it was too tight. In the process of doing that, i removed the power cable, hdmi connection from my monitors, and put them back.
Bingo. It worked.
So I assume by doing default update sometimes it doesn't detect second graphics card monitors. This worked anyways.
Thanks to you Kurt and William for taking time to reply back out of 65 other viewers of this issue.
Appreciate it.
