rabbit74 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Crashy crashy Install went fine. Everything works great but... When I run QuicktimeX on the second monitor after a few minutes the system locks up. It's not a KP just a lock up. My system has never crashed in over a year, otherwise. Anybody else? System is: OSX-10.6.5 - GTX-470 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maryusosx Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Ok so the official drivers are out any news about OpenCL and CUDA? I use my hackintosh as a workstation, i'm working with maya a lot, octane render which is CUDA, Premiere CS5 which is also CUDA, now vray RT for maya 2011 mac edition is released and is OpenCL and it works only with nvidia cards (ATi has problem with textures and a lot o bugs). Does any body know that GTX 460 with 2 GB of ram is 100% supported? Right now i have GTX 275 with 1792 MB and nvenabler doesn't fully recognize the card and the OpenCL\CUDA and OpenGL performance is about the same as a 9600GT . Can please anyone update the kext for GTX 460 2 GB plese, is possible? Any body? About CUDA and OpenCL. You can test with Galaxies (OpenCL) and nBody (CUDA). I beg you.

Peter R. Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Well, I installed 6.3, patched to 6.4, did [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url], rebooted, patched to 6.5, installed Chammeleon 619, rebooted, installed the drivers and cuda, rebooted, and lo and behold, it works. I still need to speed it up by doing something about sleep or speedcontrol or something, but I forget what it is, and I have to get the blasted alc 889 to work.

georgegeorge Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 So far confirmed working with the latest drivers are GTX 460, 465 (w/HDMI), 470, 480 (w/HDMI sound even). That accounts for all GF100 and GF104 chip cards. Wrong. GTX 480M is not yet confirmed. - System is Clevo D900F laptop - I'm only able to boot up Snow Leopard if installing iATKOS V3 S2 disc with PCJKernel and AsereBLN v1.1.9 bootloader selected - AquaMac installer doesn't work. Messes up the system requiring reinstallation of Snow - Video card is GTX 480M (GTX 480 mobile!) - Device ID: 0x06ca With all that in mind, what can be done? Do CMF's or AquaMac's driver files need to be installed with the official nVidia driver or is the nVidia alone sufficient? Do I still need to swap cards? I've got a laptop and only 1 card. I don't have the option of swapping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cakesson33 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 I am uber stoked about the prospect of not having to pull my card everytime I want to boot into OSX. I stumbled into this thread and I am a complete noob when it comes to kext and general modification to the underpinnings of OSX. At this point there is an overwhelming amount of different instructions spread throughout this thread . Could some kind soul post a noob tutorial on how to get a gtx 460 recognized in OSX? I would be forever greatful! I run a MacPro 3.1 (early 2008). I want to have my 8800GT as well as the added gtx 460 2gb Palit used when i Octane Render on win7 64. Thanks so much! /Christian MacPro 2008 8 core | 14 GB Ram | nVidia 8800GT & nVidia GTX 460 (2GB) | Windows 7 (64) & OsX 10.6.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gringo Vermelho Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Lighten up dude. And for your own sake, grow a thicker skin. I don't know how to help you with that, I can only point you to the directions already given in this thread. Cakesson - use Chameleon 2.0 RC5 w/ GraphicsEnabler=y and install the latest nvidia drivers, that's all. Hopefully. Having your other video card working at the same time requires (as far as I know) injection via DSDT. Use google and the forum search to find examples.

Flyday Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Installation guide. If you do not have another video card. 1. Install 10.6.5 update http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1324, do not reboot. 2. Install Chameleon 2 RC5 http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=231075 3. Download driver: http://www.mediafire.com/?5sq55pw31055ra1 4. Copy all kexts to /System/Library/Extensions (replace old ones) 5. Add this to your boot plist if you haven't done so already: <key>GraphicsEnabler</key> <string>Yes</string> 6. Clear caches, repair permissions and reboot.

I don't know how to help you with that, I can only point you to the directions already given in this thread. I wonder how many more times you're going to keep editing that stupid post. Flyday, what if I already have a bootloader installed? The one I have currently was installed automatically with iATKOS. I'm not sure how to install/uninstall a bootloader manually even though I've read much about it. Is that driver you uploaded the official Nvidia one or the driver from the first post in the thread?

Gringo Vermelho Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 I wonder how many more times you're going to keep editing that stupid post. As many times as I feel I have to in order to get my point across. I'm not sure how to install/uninstall a bootloader manually even though I've read much about it. You don't have to do it manually if you don't feel comfortable with it. It's not difficult though, just type some commands in Terminal. But some people are scared of Terminal for some reason. You can use iFabio's automated Chameleon 2.0 RC5 installer. Use the forum search to find it. Is that driver you uploaded the official Nvidia one or the driver from the first post in the thread? I'm guessing neither. The mediafire upload most likely contains a modified version of the latest nvidia drivers that removes the model identifier check in the installer. Without modification the installer will only run on MacPro3,1 4,1 and 5,1 (IIRC) so if you use one of those model identifiers on your Hackintosh (You shouldn't be, since it's a laptop) you can run the installer as it is delivered by nvidia.

Sasan Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 I was not successful on my GT 430, I did following steps: 1-Clean installation of Mac OS 10.6 and then combo update to 10.6.5 2- Installing chameleon RC5 Rev.619 with GraphicsEnabler=Yes 3-Installed the Nvidia Official Driver. 4- In NVDAGF100Hal.kext in Info.plist, I added this line of Code according to my card 0x0de110de&0xffc0ffff to IOPCIPrimaryMatch section. Saved and restarted and no effect at all. Here is my GT 430 info : Type: GPU Bus: PCIe PCIe Lane Width: x16 VRAM (Total): 32 MB Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de) Device ID: 0x0de1 Revision ID: 0x00a1 Displays: Display: Resolution: 1024 x 768 Pixel Depth: 32-Bit Color (ARGB8888) Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Do I miss any thing? or doing any step wrong?

Gringo Vermelho Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 So what you're saying is every time Nvidia releases a new Fermi driver update, I'll have to ask someone to upload a modified version? Yes, if you don't want to spend the time to find out how to remove the model identifier check from the installer yourself. Do I need to uninstall the current bootloader before running the automated installer No, but things could get messy if you install Chameleon to somewhere else than the same place as the older version. Make sure you know exactly where your present version of Chameleon is before running the installer. There'll be different options depending on whether you're using GUID or MBR partition style and whether you have Windows on the same drive as OS X or not. You need to be sure about these things before installing. That said I have never used the installer, maybe it has some sort of auto detection of these things. Fire it up and see.

Yes, that's where I'm having the problem. iATKOS installed the bootloader for me and I can't figure out where it's located. I'm not afraid of using the terminal, it's just that I always find the instructions seemed to have missed a step and can't get from one point to another.

Gringo Vermelho Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Unplug external drives, eject CDs and flash drives, then run Terminal, type diskutil list and post the output here. If it's not too complicated for a newbie to learn, I'd like to know how it's done. Basically you remove the model check from a configuration file inside the installer.mpkg. I don't remember the details, use the forum search or google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majaprinz Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Any body? About CUDA and OpenCL. You can test with Galaxies (OpenCL) and nBody (CUDA). I beg you. Adobe Premiere CS5 recognizes my GTX 470 but it seems to be slower than my old GTX 260, it doesn´t show even one video of my canon 5dmkII without problems, with GTX 260 two videos have been possible. Perhaps i made a mistake, the numbers in the OpenGL test are around 4700-5000, like others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the clash Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 I've been getting random lockups with a EVGA GTX460 1gb, whereas, my old 9800GTX+ was ok under 10.6.4. The "only" diff is the injection. I've done under dsdt on the 9800, but, used chameleon on the 460. Can you guys share a working dsdt solution (with 2 dvis, 1 hdmi)?
