I Don't remember who I read today but he/she said that Snow Lepard is missing the frameworks for OpenGL 3.0 support.

thanks for the link!

I've just checked Sims 3 under Snow Leopard and its git horrible performance. I hope Apple soon gets those Nvidia drivers better.


Maybe its possible to use the nvidia drivers from 10.5.7 under 32 bit?

you guys should check out phoronix test suite for all your benchmarking needs.

I have an Asus EN8800GT 512.
Terrible performance compared to 10.5.8!! Haaaaa!



No solution yet? Maybe we should wait 10.6.2!

EDIT: I have tried Xbench. For the OpenGL test i get 188 on 10.5.8 and 80 on 10.6.1...

"Terrible performance compared to 10.5.8!! Haaaaa!"
What are the results (OpenGLExtensionsviewer - same Version!) in 10.5.8 if so much better than 10.6.1 ?

I get 200 more frames (average) but test 3.0 still fails. Anyways, OpenGL apps (like Quick Look) work much better in 10.5.8!!
Ive almost got a perfect 64bit hackintosh, this is the last/only reason iam staying in 10.5.8 for now. Everything else is faster in 10.6.

3.0 failed

maybe its noobish to post an efi string from a different pc but anyhow... :/

[kitmac]

Thanx.... using ur efi string inadvertently fixed a problem i had with geekbench crashing on me
now it works!
My efi string looked nothing like yours..... i used aquamacs method

BTW OpenGL went up a couple points but nothing spectacular....

[Omega01]

I'd really be interested in viewing some ATI-results with this.

Anyone out there with a 48x0 to show off his/her results?  

[bigdave]

I solved my Problem.
The DVI-Cable was in the DVI-Port 2 of my 9800GT.
I put it in the Port 1 and since that i don't have Performance-Problems anymore.
