I just made an installer for the NVIDIA 9 Series Drivers taken from the new Macbookpro Update. Download it here:

(Latest update- Version 2 - NVIDIA 9700m GTS added 062A-10DE dev id) (For the latest updates always use this link).

My 9800 GTX now uses the correct Open GL Engine.







10.5.5 minimum requirement I would think.

Does this installer support nVidia 9800m GTS? It's a G94 chip.

Thanks!

[aqua-mac]

What is your device id. Do you have 10.5.5? It should support G94.

Does this fix the Fan / Heat Issue?

[aqua-mac]

I think it does, my cards now seem only warm whereas before they were to hot to touch.

[Volcacius]

Does it support 9800 GX2?

[SilverTab]

If anyone has any success with this installer and the 9600GT (G94, device id: 0x0622) Please let me know!... I am on 10.5.4 right now so I'm afraid to try it (I tried the new Kext, manually, and it basically screw my installation)... but hmmm 10.5.5 is on its way...slowly...

Alex99,

My 9800 GX2 Hack is at work, so I have not had a chance to try it yet, but I will tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed!

I'm crossing mine. If it works, you're going to be saving me some money and performance. I was going to trade my 9800 GX2 for a 9800 GTX

My ID is 0x062810DE. My biggest worry is the fact that is a mobile GPU (laptop) so my internal display might not work so great.

Thanks!

That card should work with the drivers. I take it you have basic Vesa working at the minute. You will need to give GFX Strings a go. My walkthrough is here:

[foyaeman]

Alright, taking a quick look at that guide (thanks for the link, by the way), I see download links for some cards, but nothing for the 9800m GTS. How would I go about making a gfxutil and in.plist for my specific card? Thank you again, I'm a total newb at this so all your help is greatly appreciated

[aqua-mac]

How much memory does your card have?

[foyaeman]

512mb

Use the input file I have attached below but follow my walkthrough to edit your PCI address. Instructions are in the walkthrough.

Thank you so much! If I could give you a hug right now, I totally would.

In a purely man to man fashion, of course. Nothing gay here.

Is there a chance this would work on 10.5.4?

Whatever I do with my 9800GTX on 10.5.4 I get artifacts and no QE/CI; but res change works.

[aqua-mac]

Tiburon,

I really am not sure. I think you would need the Open GL Framework from 10.5.5 as the very minimum. I have included an installer below:

http://rapidshare.com/files/155602335/10.5...mework.zip.html

Install this first before the kexts download as that install requires you reboot.

This may work or it could mess up your installation. Personally I would give it a go, but then I always keep a cloned backup of my installation if things go wrong!

If you try it and it works on 10.5.4, let me know and I will include the 10.5.5 Framework in the installer at the top of the page.

aqua-mac: is it possible to know which device ids are supported by your driver?? (as I said earlier mine is 0x0622) so far I don't think anyone tried it with a 9600GT??

[TNW]

I tried (9600GT) but it did not work :'(
