maverikdj Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 GT610 is not working with Sierra. my GT610 also does not work with Sierra, we hope to DP2 I removed all nvidia and geforce kext and replaced with nvidia and geforce kext from El Capitan 10.11.5 and system boot without nv_disable=1 and i have all resolution for mine 1680x1050, only problem now is acceleration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacPeet Posted June 25, 2016 Author Share Posted June 25, 2016 without kexts no acceleration! That's not how it works. Let's wait for DP2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owbp Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 It will be fixed soon. As long as cMP 5,1 is officially supported, Kepler cards has to be too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacPeet Posted July 5, 2016 Author Share Posted July 5, 2016 I hope so with DP2. But it is very funny, all cards work even older cards, only the GT610 not. Edit: Until now, problems with Sierra DP2 and the Optiplex 780, is not working. ("timeout kextd AppleACPICPU"-Error and black Screen) Problems also with Clover Version 3577 and 3585. Only 3561 works with DP1 on the Optiplex 780. Edit2: With Clover 3589 now complete installation and DP2 works.

mickeyd453 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I am trying Sierra for the first time but on an Optiplex 980 - so similar but not identical. I am having issues with USB which in 10.11 i fixed with USBInjectAll.kext to get my USB ports working - Did you have any such problems with your Optiplex regarding USB ?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickeyd453 Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Just chime in to say 10.12 is now fully working on my 980 ! edit: To say that 'fully working' does mean no acceleration on my 610 which is not good but at least i can install. I do see supported macs with a 6xx card in them so i wonder what the problem might be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanor30 Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Hi Macpeet, Can you confirm that the EVGA Geforce 210 is working with sierra with full graphics acceleration? Or would the HD5450 be a better option?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
