Hello everyone! this is my first time posting I don't know if this has been achieved before but here it goes, I have my two Nvidias 8800 GTS working beautifully in leopard 10.5.3, now to be honest I don't really know how I did it, my only guess it was GOD so don't even ask me just pray, my intension is just to let people know that this is achievable. Here is the link for the NVinject that I used. I'm also tribooting windows, linux, osx. I'm so so happy, thanks everyone for all your hard work, keep up the good work!

Note: the cards work with or without the sli bridge!

Worked for me I'm using iatkos v5 and updated to 10.5.6 and running a msi 8800gts, missing quartz extreme was my only issue so thanks for the fix, i've tried many before and none worked. So thanks for posting it biggrin.gif

Hascosx,

Are you saying that card worked with iPC 10.5.6 only using an EFI String?

Brilliant job!

Now i can use my two GF8800GTS cards.
Only one question, in system profiler the memory is shown 250MB, instead of 640MB, what i did wrong?

I have 2 8800 GTS 640's for my desktop and have been waiting to get rid of xp and put leopard on my desktop.

Do i just have to use the file in the nvinject and it has all the drivers needed for the card to work?

Does TV OUT in HD work also? or no?
Please let me know smile.gif

Thanks!

Thanks, Space.

My card is being recognized only at 256Mb RAM, but at least QE and hardware acceleration now work. I don't need this card to run games on OS X anyway wink.gif
Saurman
tnx man, that really worked!!!

iAtkos 5i with 8800 EFI gave me CI/QE but CI was software, this one gave me Hardware acceleration. I tried on 2 8800 GTS - MSI and XFX - both worked.

Best post ever biggrin.gif

Hey man thanks for the driver; I have a 8800 GTS 640MB and was racking my brain trying to get the Quartz Extreme to work with the nvinject 0.2.1 drivers with no luck. I had to modify your original file and add "VRAM,totalsize" value (as mentioned on the nvinject original site) to display the proper memory for my graphics card. Here are the results; all thanks to you...

I have attached the driver for all those who need it for their 8800GTS 640MB cards

Enjoy~



My System:
MB: Asus P5Q-E
OS: Dual boot: Windows 7 64-Bit RC /Mac OS 10.5.8 (retail purchase) using Chameleon RC2

Question: Is this OFFICIALLY notice that SLI works in Leopard?? Or just TWO GPU's being recognized? I have a friend that's giving me the exact same card I have and I'm really hoping to SLI iPC 10.5.6 updated to iDeneb 10.5.8!
Ryan Rhee
seems like it's just dual cards where you don't have to remove the SLI bridge. AFAIK SLI does NOT work.
