Thank you very much. Also What drivers do i install now? Do i install the drivers listed on the front page and use the gfx string in my boot.plist. or do i do another method?

 

Thanks!

[hagybear]

Thank you cmf for you great guide!

 

I just bought an EVGA gtx480 followed your guide and it works showing fine in system profile !

 

Exept when i grab a window in 10.6.4 and scrol it from side to side fast

i get a strange fuzzy line in the top middle of the screen ???

 

tested the card in win7 its fine there

 

any thoughts ? maybe i need an efi string ?

 

many thanks

hagy

 

ps:

before installing this card i installed the graphic update from apple

but there was no issues with my old card evga 9800gt

 

Specs:

intel i7 980x

gigabyte x58a-ud9

corsair dominator 1600 12gb

EVGA gtx480

Snow leopard 10.6.4

Weird stuff is happing with GFX strings + the guide posted here. When i boot i do -v -f and when it finishes booting i get on my first monitor a terminal like screen that i can type in that blinks to a blue screen every 10 seconds or so. and on my second monitor i get a blue screen with nothing on it. Any ideas?

 

1st monitor is connected to card #1 though a DVI - vga connector

2nd monitor is connected to card #2 though a DVI - vga connector

hi aqua-mac

 

 

i have this fuzzy line in middle of screen drivng me nutz wonder if a gfx string would help

with my EVGA gtx480 ?

Can you create a gfx string for me device path :

 

DevicePath = PciRoot(0x1)/Pci(0x7,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)

 

 

thanks

[andrewq2]

Yay! I just got my sli gtx 470 to work with dual monitors, one monitor on the first and one on the second. I used aquamac's GTX 480 installer with GFX Strings.

 

hagybear:

 

I still get the fuzzy lines with GFX strings also. I think it is a coding error in the driver. AKA cannot be fixed without having the nVidia driver source.

[hagybear]

oh ok gotya thanks!

 

do i need to but the : busratio=20 etc... in my boot plist its not there now but all working well?

thanks

Without more information about your hardware and configuration it's impossible to say.

[Frank802]

[A_RocC]

can you just place the kexts in the extra folder? i still want to have a vanilla installation

[Gringo Vermelho]

No.

[A_RocC]

so a vanilla system is not possible with GTX 480? that sucks, i was thinking of upgrading.

[Gringo Vermelho]

Upgrade, then reinstall the modified drivers from the first post. This is as vanilla as it gets for now.

[A_RocC]

nah im good, i want to be able to upgrade my system software without any hassle.

[Frank802]

I'm sorry but i don't understand if i can install the new Graphics Update by Apple......=)

 

And how to do to fix the V-Sync problem....

 

Thanks!!!

Now replace the one in your extra folder with this one below. Look in your System/Extensions folder and make sure you don't have nvinject.kext or any other form of graphics injector kext.

 

 

Hiya,

 

Sorry to sneak in, but did you say that the com.apple.Boot.plist file should be in the Extra folder? I only have one in the L/Pref/Sys Config folder?

 

Followed our guide but only getting low (1024x768) on a GTX480?

 

I've created a gfx string etc, and even Cuda reports that the Nvidia drivers are current? Did I miss something?

 

Sorry to ask just pulling my hair out as I must be close to getting this owrking now.

 

Cheers,

 

Fats.

Can you tell us how to generate the gfx string for gtx 480 instead of asking you one by one? i guess im just going to buy a 480 and use your installer. i hope it works on future OSX updates.
