archer75 Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 updated to 10.6.5, installed nvidia drivers, shutdown, install 460GTX, reboot, working! Started right up at 1920x1200 though it says my card is unknown. So far it appears to work. I also run dual monitors and it works too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diwad Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 I use Asus one. http://www.legitreviews.com/article/1287/1/ Great day for us, hackintoshers!:mellow: Did anyone do a clear install? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Archer75: "unknown" is up to your injection method. It's just cosmetic, the drivers know what card you have. If you're using Chameleon GraphicsEnabler=y you can edit the source code yourself and add your video card's device ID, then it'll show correctly in System Profiler. It's not any harder than editing a text document. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senpaivm Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 OS X does not support SLI (or Crossfire). Not necessarily, maybe its as simple as adding your cards device ID to GF100HAL.kext. Google 'guide for all nvidia boards' and follow the examples given there. I have edit my info.plist (GF100HAL.kext) and now this is how it looks <key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key> <string> 0x06c010de&0xffe0ffff 0x0dc010de&0xffc0ffff 0x0e2010de&0xffe0ffff 0x0e2210de&0xffe0ffff (GTX460) 0x0ee010de&0xffe0ffff 0x0f0010de&0xffc0ffff 0x104010de&0xffc0ffff 0x108010de&0xffe0ffff </string> But still nothing, maybe is a problem with the boot, but I have updated it to chamaleon RC5 Rev. 619 and still nothing Thank for your replay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JezJ Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Fixed the problem with large blocks, if you already have 10.6.5 with aquamacs installer, you need to download and install the 10.6.5 combo update, then install new nvidia driver before rebooting and presto! it works Still need to re-add the device id into AppleGraphicsPowerManagement kext as that will be back to default Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gringo Vermelho Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 I have edit my info.plist (GF100HAL.kext) and now this is how it looks IOPCIPrimaryMatch 0x06c010de&0xffe0ffff 0x0dc010de&0xffc0ffff 0x0e2010de&0xffe0ffff 0x0e2210de&0xffe0ffff (GTX460) 0x0ee010de&0xffe0ffff 0x0f0010de&0xffc0ffff 0x104010de&0xffc0ffff 0x108010de&0xffe0ffff I haven't even looked at these files, I don't have a Fermi card myself. Which one of those is the device ID of your card? There may be different versions of the GTX 460 with different device IDs - as is the case with the 9800GTX+ for example, appearing as 0x0612 (which works with vanilla NVDANV50Hal.kext) and 0x0613 (which must be added manually). Make sure you're adding the device ID for your card and not some GTX 460 device ID you found online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the problem is related with the card itself, it is not a reference model, is a overclocked one sell by EVGA. I will try a new clean installation using NawCom boot method.

Gringo Vermelho Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 That's fine then. I don't know what can be wrong. If you're using Chameleon GraphicsEnabler=y, maybe it's making a wrong guess at your PCIRoot? The default is 0 and stays at 0 if Chameleon can't successfully read the PCIRoot from your DSDT. You can try forcing PCIRoot=1 during boot and see if that helps. And hey, sorry for assuming the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BiTRiP Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 How did some of you guys get so big FPS numbers?!?! Like 5000+ I just did a fully CLEAN install of 10.6.3, upgrade to 10.6.5 and then installed newest driver. After reboot and running test it's better then before but my fps doesn't even come to the 500! Using Asus GTX470. What did you do to get it that fast?

Diwad Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Guys, how to make a clean install from some bootcd? I tried [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] 2.5.1 and that fermi one. Still ha ing "still waiting for root device" and when i loads dvd with snow leo it says something like "no dsdt found" so i have to put my dsdt somewhere on the bootcd? I tried changing boot priority, change sata cables unplug etc. Some guide would be great. I use asus ttx470 and have 5000score in opengl. Try adding your id into applegraphicpowermanagement.kext/i fo.plist like says post above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
