GT 610 is not an easy Video card. Although it is nvidia it is not OOB. What kext do you use? I spend a lot of effort to make the card work properly but WITHOUT nvidia web drivers . ONLY with OS X drivers. I am not recommend GT 610 to hackintoshers, no not at all.

I studied IT 8 years . I work the last 15 years as a developer and every day i learn something new!!!

How it is possible to have the same card (is it the same? I have MSI GT 610 with passive heatsink) and try fix this f@cking beast for 7 days, and to testify that your GT 610 works out of the box!!!!! It is  f@cking insane . F@cking insane at all!!!! 

About the sound i had already a patch for my chipset  before i buy the card. So when i put the card on the motherboard i have OOB sound. (Maybe because of the patch maybe because it is a kind of an insane logic(?)  :drool:

I have to mention that my problems with GT 610 wasn't on my son's Optiplex 760 but on my Precision 490, but this again doesn't make sense! Because my Precision 490 runs on 10.11.4 . And every Logic board with PCIe x 16 is the same when you put Video cards without UEFI. Or it is not?  :blink:  :blink:  :blink:

Oh Madonna mia come and help me pls.  :hysterical:

EDIT:I did a clean install with 10.11.4 Maybe you upgrade from 10.11.x To 10.11.4 so the drivers suit well (I really don't have some better idea about that beast called GT 610)

i use the dsdt of this guide :

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/307920-guide-clover-dell-precision-690-workstation/ 

 (unfortunately now i am on my work and i can't send you just the dsdt file) 

But we have a little bit different cards . The heatsink has nothing to do if it is passive or with fan. But the amount of memory make some sense. My GT 610 is 1 GB Ram BUT also yours has 1 GB too. So it is a mystery... 

You say it is the DSDT. I say it is not....

Absolutely NO. Both systems have the same BIOS (I mean 490 & 690) . For me it is because i did a clean install and Apple must have tune the nvidia drivers on 10.11.4. I am definitely sure you upgrade from 10.11.x to 10.11.4 (This must be a kind of solution to the enigma)

Since, at least for the DT, the 780/760 only has 1 PCI-e slot, what wifi adapters are you guys using? I'm upgrading from Yosemite and thinking of ditching my Ralink Usb N dongle in favor of something more reliable, preference would be a PCI card (legacy) that works natively as an airport card, but essentially if you have a glowing recommendation Id love to hear about it.

Hey Guys, did we ever find a way to make system info show Graphics as HD5450 without messing anything else up, like HDMI Sound?

 

Unfortunately, I'm afraid it won't work with that method. AFAIK, the System Info will only report "AMD Radeon HD 5450" when the correct framebuffer is loaded.

So you'll have to choose another one than Shrike (i.e Eulemur which breaks both HDMI audio and sleep) hence, messing up with some things :P.

Sure, I use one :).

 

You just need an additional graphic card such as the AMD Radeon HD 5450 (fully supported in this guide) or any other card that fits in the SFF case.

Thank you! Otherwise, I can buy this 780 for £37 (best offer):

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dell-Optiplex-780-SFF-Windows-7-Intel-Core-2-Duo-3GHz-4GB-250GB-HDD-/252368267656?

 

So, 760 for £50 or 780 for £37. Which would you choose?

Well the 780 has more storage but a very very slightly less powerful CPU. But it's also cheaper. So given the fact that both 760/780 work perfect with the guide, obviously I would choose the 780.

 

And you could save your extra £13 to buy the GFX card :).

Thank you. Actually, I don't really care about the storage as I will be installing an SSD anyway. The slightly less powerful CPU should be negligible, right?
