mitch_de Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 EDIT: NOW i have that 9600 GT. Very nice thing. Easy install: no plist edit of NV*.kext (as most other NVIDIA cards) only installed netkas ati_init.kext (has also NV code in ) Much easier than the 3850 nightmare to get QE/CI working :mellow: OLD: I plan to buy an NVIDIA 9500/9600/8800 ot GT260because Snow Leo cant work with my ATI 3850. I am not an hardcore gamer, so NV bench values must not be better then my 3850, but should reach at least 80% of them. Also bench values of ATI 48xx cards would be fine if the can run under Snow Leopard (QE/CI). Would be fine to see some bench Screenshoots. DL OpenGLExtensionsviewer (latest V is 3.1.2 / 03/2009): http://www.realtech-vr.com/glview/download.html To get really gpu speed bench values and compareable to mine, please bench with : - set Fullscreen - set >= 1200x900 Resolution with x32(=Fullcolur) - set Bench Mode - set Multisampling to 4 (= much more work for GPU, gives much less CPU depended Bench values) - set Anisotrophy to 4 ( = same as above) Below my results at 1600x1200 and 1440x1080, MULTI=4, ANI=4, BENCH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mushishi Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Ohhh my mistake.. Well remember snow is still a beta os untill sep, amd my guess is short after sep the 3850 will work on snow also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes - perhaps. But also now (10.5) some ATI cards 3850 and 3870 are very difficult to get fully worked. Lots of 38XX Users , even experienced , get an nightmare with that card type. NVs seems to be much easier for us - and so its also clear that EFIX-USB, psytar+pearPC & Co often use NV cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitch_de Posted July 8, 2009 Author Share Posted July 8, 2009 Now benchvalues by me with 9600GT (Gigabyte) I was a bit happy that 9600GT not was a bit slower ( i thought) it was a bit faster as my ATI 3850 HINT: Since a few weaks you can get such "green" NV 9600 GT (newer GPU build) which takes less power. Normal 9600GT is near equal 3850 in 3D, a bit less in Desktop(2D). Sure, an working ATI 4770 would be much better in Watt/FPS but i believe it will take a few months at least . Also Snow Leopard seems to be an problem (much changes in ATI drivers!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
