cmf Posted June 28, 2011 Author Share Posted June 28, 2011 - GTX 285, works just fine.- GTX 470, has "some" issues (but they look correctable so you can still use that card). - GTX 480, seems to have the most issues, BUT it looks like CMF (forum memeber) got his working. I'm wondering how? what issues? afaics gf100 based cards still work the best (no freezes, opengl/opencl/cuda working), although lion seems to fix a few issues (freezes) on lower end cards and supports gf110+ based cards.

llambda Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Is there a trick to booting with the model identifier set as MacPro4,1 or 5,1? I cannot and have never been able to boot with that model identifier. Any help is most appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnifico Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Help please , i've a gtx470 Zotac Amp , why my result in opengl is slow ? ( 35,50 Fps ) Whyle the old Gtx 9800 the result is (38,70 ) Thank's 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llambda Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 why do you want it? Because ven with the updated drivers, my card is not performing well. Games such as L4D2 and Borderlands are laggy and don't play well. I assume this is because the card is never being used at full power due to the fact that AGPM isn't being loaded. Maybe this is the wrong assumption? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diwad Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Did you try apgm from snow leo 10.6.0? Im using it with model identifier 5.1. Here you have it: http://cl.ly/0E0Y042M2M2T0i1m111g Replace it with this one and run kext utility over S/L/E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bottswana Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Hey guys. I've got my GTX 470 working fine with Graphics Injection. It has 2 DVI and 1 HDMI, however, the secondary DVI connector dosen't work. System Profiler shows 2 connections, so I assume its detecting the main DVI and the HDMI. Is there any way around this? I would really like to be able to use both DVI connectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other option would be to ref lash the card ROM with a more Mac-friendly set of monitor definitions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazubu Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Flashing the card is not something I would want to do.How would one go about altering this NVCAP string? You DO need a modified ROM, that's not possible through NVCAP or other OS side approach. However this doesn't necessarily mean flashing as you can load an alternate ROM using Graphic Enabler or NVEnabler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thireus Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 However this doesn't necessarily mean flashing as you can load an alternate ROM using Graphic Enabler or NVEnabler So you mean, by telling Chameleon RC5 to use custom .rom file, the card will act as it it was flashed by the desired custom BIOS? Even if the card is running with an original BIOS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T a D Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Here's a data point for everyone: 1GB Gigabyte GTX 460 Chameleon RC5-svn-r1138 - Graphics Enabler=Y OS X 10.7 Lion GM Everything seems to be working fine on the graphics front, ripple effect in Dashboard (when not a Space) So far no kernel panics or random lockups like I had on Snow Leopard (10.6.7 or 10.6.8). I have stopped running the iTunes visualiser all the time as well. Games (Portal 2, Assassins Creed) all run well with no noticeable problems. Stock kexts except for FakeSMC. ModelIdentifier set at 3,1 System: Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3P (BIOS F12B), Q6700 @ 2.6GHZ, 4GB RAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitch_de Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 So you mean, by telling Chameleon RC5 to use custom .rom file, the card will act as it it was flashed by the desired custom BIOS? Even if the card is running with an original BIOS? Dont hope to much using ROM file loading with chameleon. I tested 2 Geforce cards with such rom file loading. Both ROM files were loaded and used. BUT: Has no effect , at least not on GPU+MEM Clock (which were both OCed in that files) - and i also think it has no effect at all. Only flashing that both rom files real on the cards changed the behavior (GPU+RAM Ghz). You can try that chameleon rom loading , its easy and harmless but may not have an effect.

bobnormal Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Hello there, I am a little self-conscious about posting here but I have achieved slight emergency status with my machine and it involves a gtx570 and 10.6.8 so..... Basically I purchased a hackintosh from a company called macsrpc's (they no longer exist) here are the specs: Gigabyte GA-x58-usb3 i7 920 @3.2ghz, 12 GB RAM Rocket Raid 2640 OSX installed on 2 x velociraptor 320 7200 rpms Windows 7 Ultimate installed on 2 x 500 gb Hitachi enterprise HDD's Nvidia GTX570 Everything worked fine for months. I purchase this as a turnkey system so I could do design work in osx and game in windows. I upgraded to 10.6.8 in a moment of absentmindedness. Now when it boots into OSX it stops at the grey apple booting screen. No spinning wheel. I tried safe mode (-x) same thing. I tried booting into verbose mode and it stops at "PCI configuration" I'm fairly certain it's the graphics card stopping things. I have been looking at this thread as it seems there are steps listed here that are straightforward for attempting to restore the install to functioning, i.e. bootloader etc. I just can't figure out the more granular steps. I downloaded the fermi package that was recently posted and assume there are kexts in there I must put into my system/library/extensions folder. The contents of that package are pretty complicated and I'm finding it quite confusing. Is there another thread out there that is a little more in depth on this topic? Thanks in advance for tolerating my NOOBish ineptitude. Thanks PS If I put the Mac edition ATI 5770 would it just work normally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elpopo Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Just works with Tesla C2050, it's not a 480 but it is close to it! For working I mean also OpenCL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myrorym Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Is there another thread out there that is a little more in depth on this topic? http://netkas.org/?p=849 is discussed partially here too http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...692&st=140# Not sure what the fix does, but it works for me. Add to your boot.plist as kernel flag. Type npci=0×2000 -v at boot prompt and then edit your file cheers TY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc84 Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Does any gtx 480 or 470 work with two monitors at the moment? Yes, I have a GTX480 runnings Dual Screens. One of my screens is broken and run a custom config to get the correct display resolutions. GeForce GTX 480: Chipset Model: GeForce GTX 480 Type: GPU Bus: PCIe Slot: Slot-1 PCIe Lane Width: x16 VRAM (Total): 1536 MB Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de) Device ID: 0x06c0 Revision ID: 0x00a3 ROM Revision: 70.00.21.00.02 Displays: VX2025wm: Resolution: 1680 x 1050 @ 75 Hz Pixel Depth: 32-Bit Color (ARGB8888) Display Serial Number: Q6Y063821062 Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Rotation: Supported DisplayConfigX - VGA 82 KHz: Resolution: 1680 x 1051 @ 75 Hz Pixel Depth: 32-Bit Color (ARGB8888) Mirror: Off Online: Yes Rotation: Supported with no EFI boot strings just npci=0×2000 as a boot flag. If you add the EFI strings for a 480GTX the appstore won't work. Spent days resolving this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
