iRule Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Hi all, I was told that the 9800GT is just an overclocked 8800GT so I purchased the 9800GT. Now the shop I bought it from refuses to refund the money as they have no 8800GTs, I'm stuck with this card. I was wondering if it's possible for any of you experts to help me setting up my graphic card properly. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khan_Man Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 well, the first order of business it to get your specs, please make a signature file. Second, did U search using google and/or the BBS? Sometimes I find the BBS search bad. In google try: 9800GT site:www.insanelymac.com see what turns up. There are several different approaches to video cards on Hackintoshes. NVinject, natits, and strings in boot file. Look up all that stuff.

Seems I've overlooked the fact that support for 9800GT is limited. Can you share with me exactly the steps to get 9800GT working? I need help with iATKOS install. I've installed Leo4All 10.5.2 with sound and network but no graphics. I'd very much like to get graphics to work. Please check my sig for my config. Thanks.

jciarlan Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 9800GT Snow Leopard, random KPs, 7900GS -> 9800GT I recently got a 9800GT (1 GB) to replace the 7900GS in my 10.6.3 machine but I can't get it to work, I have the correct resolution (I specified it in com.apple.Boot.plist) but no QE/CI and am getting random kernel panics after the machine has been on for about 2 minutes. I'm booting with -x32 (it KPs immediately after loading the desktop without this, even with the 7900). The KPs are always from a random process (usually mdworker) so I have no ideas as to what could be causing them. There's a 10.5 partition on the machine that does the same thing without any kernel panics. I had NVkush and NVinject (0.2.1) enabled with the 7900GS but I've taken those out (with them both I got no display). I have the correct EFI string in the Boot.plist file (it recognizes it as a 9800 1gb) but still no QE/CI. NVinject 0.2.1 loads if I put it in S/L/E but doesn't give me any more resolutions or QE/CI, 0.2.2 seems to not load at all (no messages during boot). I had the GeForce*xxx kexts removed from S/L/E but I've put those back in. Machine: P5W-DH intel core2 quad 2.66 6gb ddr2 800 ram Any ideas?
