the freezing and KP problems are also on 1GB versions of the GTX460.

 

 

I Here you!! what motherboard do you use and or what chipset is it?

With the machine in my signature I have a completely stable system. No random lockups and everything seems to be working as it should. Except for sound.

 

WoW plays fine too after disabling sunshafts in the video options.

Thanks

 

Anyone else with an X58 chipset and 4XX card.

 

I'am going X58 myself as its just time to upgrade, already got my i7 950 cpu.

Another person here with random freezes, I thought it was my system, I was reseating graphics cards, memory etc, flashing bioses. Glad somebody else figured something out.

 

This is with a machine I reinstalled 10.6 then upgraded to 10.6.5 and installed the drivers from the NVIDIA site, so its not like I have other cranky kexts, also the system was stable before with a 8800GT.

Also: my machine is a "macpro4,1" and has the performance tweak in the apple kext

[mattm8305]

I also see random freezes.

Card is recognized and I get about ~26 in Cinebench, but I get random freezes.

[Zeman4323]

I also encounter random freezing.

 

EVGA GTS 450

GA-EP43-UD3L

Running Chameleon RC5 r651 (Installed via [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] 2.6)

[enb14]

I got kernel panic with my DP45SG motherboard + GTX460 768MB using Chameleon RC5 r643 with GraphicsEnabled=Yes computer set as MacPro3,1

 

using DVI monitor so I think we have to wait for a newer bootloader or new drivers.

 

According to tonymac forum the cards with 768 MB and 1GB are the ones that seems to crash randomly but some of them seem to work fine.

May I ask this freeze you mean is like a temporary freeze say few seconds, where you can't use mouse or keyboard or anything but suddenly after few seconds it moves again?

 

Well i had that too. recurrently. Rig as shown below.

Complete freeze.

 

It usually starts with the mouse not responding and later on, the music will just keep repeating the last word and sometimes, the system may even KP.

 

The only way out is a hard reset.

 

BTW, I did notice that of the 2 Fermi rigs that I have, the one that freezes seems to be quite laggy when browsing this InsanelyMac site. Scrolling up and down isn't as smooth as the other Fermi rig that doesn't freeze.

 

Maybe you guys can check it out and compare your 'freezing' Fermi rig with other rigs that you have (i.e. when scrolling up and down on InsanelyMac).

[akiNikki]

oh i didn't have that. I got complete "Kernel Panic".

Has anyone had any success with a GTX 580? And is there ANY hope of support for a GTX 570 from this driver? My girlfriend wants to get me a card for christmas, but IDK if I should get the 470 or the 570...

GTX-570=No.As of yet no one has got it running.

 

To be honest at the moment none of the fermi cards run faster than the GTX-260. So keep that in mind when spending your money. (I have seen some slightly higher performance but it comes at the price of random freezing).

I know that no one has a 570 running yet, I was just asking if it was possible in theory since the card uses an identical chipset to the GTX 580 which (in theory) is supposed to be supported by this driver. I am thinking of taking my chances and going with a 570 and just keeping my fingers crossed, but the fact that no one even has a working 580 puts the odds against me.

Installed OSX on my ASRock Vision 3D. With Chameleon v351, the GT425M is recognized. Unfortunately, the HDMI port stops working after boot. The graphics card does not show anything connected even though the TV is connected. The DVI port works fine and DVI and HDMI both work in Windows. Any ideas?

 

 

The correct version of Chameleon is v651.

Guys finally I've got my GTX460 EVGA fixed (no more kernel panics) the problem was due to auto detect graphics card by bootloader so I added the EFI string manually with 768MB in RAM then removed auto detect graphics and now the Kernel Panics are gone.

Honest, or imprudent?

 

Do you know that for sure?. I have gtx285, and gtx480. Under cinebench gtx285 = gtx480, but under cuda aplications, gtx480 is a lot faster than gtx285. Cinebench is not the only app that exist. Ramdon freezing? I have not any freezing.

I've got my first OSX setup working just about a week ago, it took me about 20 hours to get all hardware working properly. And now these KP and freezes with GTX460 is the only unresolved problem that I still have.

Unfortunately I'm a complete newbie in this area, so may I ask you for detailed 'guide' on how you get this fixed?

What exactly should I add to com.apple.Boot.plist? (this is the place for putting EFI strings as I understood, right?)

How I can disable auto detect graphics?

Can you make a tuto to explain how to fix this problem because I don't really understand.

 

Thanks.

So has anyone else run into the issue that once they go through with all of this they can only get past the loading screen if they run in safe mode?

 

As soon as I ran through the howto I run into the problem of getting frozen in the loading screen, or i have to boot in safe mode.

 

I'm using an EVGA GTX460 768MB.

 

Also I'm not gaining any of the actual drivers. Can anyone help me?
