FKA Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Are you saying that OS X won't boot with a SLI setup or that it simply won't recognize the second card? My intention is to have the second gtx 260 for windows gaming so I'm ok with os x only utilizing the first card. Now I see that some people have their setups with SLI in their sig (ie, jocelyn84) and I'm confused as to how they get os x running. Try searching the forum or using google . http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=33003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbatriani Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Hi all! Can someone help me out with this? I'm a total noob at this kind of thing and need some direction. I own a Gigabyte GTX 260 graphics card but it shows up in System Profiler as an 'Nvidia Graphics Engine'. What is it supposed to look like? I tried the EFI strings thing but not sure what it's meant to do. The DSDT patch looks promising but I need some instruction on how to go about it, or else I'll ruin something lolol Best regards, Mikey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taihuynh Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 currently booting DSDT injection for GPU and guess what .... mirror displays works !!! Top HOle Smith@@ for helping me This DSDT patch works for GTX260 - in fact it fixes a mirror display issues I had with GraphicsEnabler.

Thanks Use lspci to find the memory address of your GPU. Search DSDT for that address, insert code under that device. D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
