saintjude Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I picked up a cheap ($30 shipped from Newegg) Zotac branded GeForce 7300 GT, 256 MEG. To my very pleasant surprise, all it took was NVKush (a variant of NVinject, either will probably work) to get it running with QE and CI, but more importantly, both display outputs worked properly (D-Sub and DVI (using a DVI-Dsub adapter) without any additional messing around. I'm still running 10.5.1, but I expect it would still work with 10.5.2 for sure, and probably with 10.5.3 (maybe some tweaking needed.) So far, this particular card seems like an excellent low-cost option for a dual display system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
os xp Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 I just ordered it too, and they have a ten dollar rebate on it right now until the end of June i believe. I cant wait for my m-hack to work!!! I'll post how it works on my fresh install of Kalyway 10.5.2! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yochino Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Hey. just did a fresh kalaway install. Under system profiler, does your video come up as Graphics by nVidia or does it actually show zotac? my display shows as Graphics by nVidia and i was wondering if either of you got it working properly. i used nvinject.

You know, my rig with the 8800GTS says Graphics by nVidia in 10.5.4 instead of 8800GTS...odd! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weaksauce12 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 hahaha... weaksauce, if yours is having problems, then we're all screwed... Meh, I fixed it: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...mp;#entry839447 NVinstaller injects "Graphics by nVidia" with every installation, no matter what the card is. It doesn't affect performance in the least, however - it is purely a cosmetic modification. You simply have to rename that line of code to whatever make and model card you have, it's real easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdong Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 What about the ZOTAC 8800GT and 8800GT AMP edition? I assume they will work just as well as the 7300 one did for saintjude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
