vald Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 For those who fixed the issue by using the DVI port 1: what you have just done, I reckon, is changing the display from monitor 2 to monitor 1; so, your SL thought you were using 2 displays, so when you put the display in port 1 the graphics support works better...that or, SL just doesn't have full support for both DVI-s... this happened to me also when i was using Leopard. Or you just didnt do well with the EFI string.. you know you can choose DVI1+DVI2 later in the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW I have a Zotac 8800GT which has only one DVI working (other gives no output, even in BIOS) I hope it will be the right one. If it is not and I have slow perf issues is there any other way to fix this? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vald Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 I would suggest making EFI strings with OSX86Tools; try different settings for DVI at the end of creating efi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leslieking Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Apparently, apple doesn't know about the OpenGL problem: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1924024/applebug.png Anyway, I sent more info. I hope the problem will be fixed soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocusOfControl Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Hi My results in 64 bit (4870) went up ~ 5% - see my previous post (I was using ATY_init originally in 32 bit now using PC EFI v10.3 on 64 bit) 189 in 32 bit for the benchmark with ATY_init, 199 in 64 bit with PC EFI 219 in full screen mode in 32bit , 228 with 64 bit PC EFI What would you expect for a radeon 4870? regards Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyShackleford Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Thanx.... using ur efi string inadvertently fixed a problem i had with geekbench crashing on menow it works! My efi string looked nothing like yours..... i used aquamacs method BTW OpenGL went up a couple points but nothing spectacular.... Thanx.... using ur efi string inadvertently fixed a problem i had with geekbench crashing on me now it works! > >Thanx.... using ur efi string inadvertently fixed a problem i had with geekbench crashing on me >now it works! hmm i still cant stop geekbench from crashing ive tried about 6 or 7 different efi strings and injectors its something related to QE/CI or open gl because without it enabled it works fine also final cut is crashing in log and transfer i also believe that open gl is suspect since it only happens in sl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gringo Vermelho Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Nice!! That's more like it. So many people in this thread with low scores, most likely resulting from bad configuration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
