macgirl Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I just made an installer for the NVIDIA 9 Series Drivers taken from the new Macbookpro Update. Download it here: http://rapidshare.com/files/155562098/NVID...rivers.zip.html My 9800 GTX now uses the correct Open GL Engine. 10.5.5 minimum requirement I would think. Hey, thanks aqua-mac. Did you notice that the fan of the card behave like Windows with this drivers, On first boot after install of these drivers fan starts to increasing its speed, then back to low speed, I never had this on Mac OS but on windows. The only problem I noticed is that OpenGL Viewer Extension test only shows 800x600 and 640x480 resolutions. So i couldnt compare fps with my previous tests because I did with 1440x1050.

tokra128 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Hi guys, there are rumors that h264 decoding is also supported by these new drivers .. can someone upload AppleVAH264HW.component quicktime component ? Maybe we can get ... hardware decoding for our 8xxx card too. Btw, I have an 8800GT (G92) and I wonder if it is possible to make this drivers working .. Also I winder if, it is possible to have beside the before component and the new version of quicktime ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm anxious to see H264 hardware decoding comes to OS X, because my CPU is a bit weak, so I can only watch those HD movies under windows new.

tokra128 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 It is not a rumor, even if I have get the news from appleinsider and macrumors ... , it is a fact ... so .... it will be a big and huge improvement for us. All the tests show an huge decrease on cpu usage ... Snow it is coming ... in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqua-mac Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share Posted October 20, 2008 Well, my 9800 GX2 is now seen as a 9800 GX2 with these drivers, I cannot put up a pic yet as my website is on a home computer and I am now at work, but you can download one here: http://rapidshare.com/files/155725632/GX2_...ENGINE.zip.html I will try in slot 1 shortly.

xandr115 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Oooh sounds cool. Just got a 9800gtx and plan to do a fresh install to replace the 10.5.2 iatkos I have now. Once I get to 10.5.5, do I still need the EFI GFX Strings or will this driver installer do do all the dirty work? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkyZ Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 hi there, today just got a 9500GT with native HDMI port, and it works like a charm~~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverTab Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Thanks a lot for this driver! It is working like a charm with my EVGA GeForce 9600 GT Here's what I had to do to make it work: I installed iDeneb 10.5.5 without any video drivers (i.e. not picking any video drivers options) at this point it wouldnt even boot in Normal Mode, only in safe mode... I downloaded your driver, installed it... repaired permissions, rebooted, now I could boot in normal mode, but I would get a really funky result when I tried to move windows etc.. and still couldnt change resolution... I generated an EFI string following the instructions of this post: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=&...st&p=937393 (Using OSx86tools) Repaired permissions, rebooted... and bam... fully working! With QE/CI, TV Out is working, everything is looking smooth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riemann Zeta Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Thanks aquamac, you kick ass. The driver works just fine on my 1st gen penryn MBP with the 512MB 8600GT. Perhaps the only thing that I still need is the OpenGL.framework 1.5.8 from the new MBP and the new build of QuickTime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cupertin0 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Yes please, can we have the latest Quicktime and OpenGl drivers from the new macbooks too please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqua-mac Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share Posted October 20, 2008 Right guys, Glad to hear things are working. You all already have the latest open GL Framework if you have 10.5.5 as there is not one included in the macbook pro update. In fact the update only includes Graphics drivers and a bluetooth update. I did not bother about the bluetooth as I suspect it is specifically for the macbook pro which may have some new bluetooth hardware. On the subject of the 9800 GX2, it still only is working in the second PCIe slot I am afraid, although it is fully recognized in this 16x slot on my Asus P5E3 Premium wifi@n mainboard. So there must be some problem with the way the boards we are using address the first 16x PCIe slot combined with the onboard SLi bridge. It is very strange indeed. We know that the 9800 GTX works, so all that is left is the bridge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddyRich Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 This post on the handbrake forums indicates that there is indeed also a Purevideo component to the new driver that the new QT will take advantage of: http://forum.handbrake.fr/viewtopic.php?f=14&p=41600 Some people have already requested the file: /System/Library/QuickTime/AppleVAH264HW.component/Contents/MacOS/AppleVAH264HW And I would also assume QT needs the following to also work: /System/Library/Extensions/GeForceVADriver.bundle/Contents/MacOS/GeForceVADriver My guess is its the second one that is the GFX card driver for Video Accelration (hence the name GeForceVADriver) and the first one is an extension for QT... This isn't going to improve ffmpeg decoding, but should help quicktime. From the handbrake forum, both of those files have string references to both VP2 and VP3 which is Purevideo functionality, though the only the newest 9 series Geforce's are supposed to support VP3, the 8600MGT only has the VP2 functionality of Purevideo so hopefully these files will still work on old versions. AFAIK this is separate functionality from using shaders and OpenCL/CUDA to do decoding/encoding... I mean even in Windows only certain drivers and certain players had support for the DXVA 2.0 stuff... The ATI Equivalent would be AVIVO/UVD, which is a separate chip on the ATI boards... no idea if they have a VA driver? My guess not since there was no ATI card in the new products just released.

I did not bother about the bluetooth as I suspect it is specifically for the macbook pro which may have some new bluetooth hardware. MacBook Update 1.2 does not contain all the files that is new in Late 2008 MBs. It already comes with a different build, SU 1.2 updates is on top of this. There is a newer version of OpenGL.framework in new MBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kakadu Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I installed this driver. Now I've got on my 9600 gt QE, but i cannot switch resolution in control panel. When I changing properties i see a "blue scree". My monitor have got d-sub port, but i must connect it by DVI. What can I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqua-mac Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share Posted October 20, 2008 Foyaeman, Are you using GFX Strings or nvinject/NVkush. Chrysaor, Thanks for that info. Kakadu, You could use a DVI to VGA convertor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kakadu Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I'm still using a DVI to DSUB adapter. I've got two DVI connectors in my card. //Problem Solved. I switched monitor to other DVI port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
