Cjtouhey Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 ok first things first i was hoping some one could clear up some stuff about graphics cards and maybe help me with a couple of mine. i have an asus en9500gt 1gb ddr2 Nvidia based geforce 9500gt gpu, now i dont realy understand graphics cards to much seeing as its uses the geforce chip but im having trouble getting it working even though ive used the kexts / certain installers for this gpu but they seem to muck up my install making it impossible to boot which confuses me cause its an nvidia geforce chip. now second if it impossible to install this graphics card which some one on another forum who was probably talking from the rear told me it would work i have a geforce 7025 in my comp as well i have to qustions about this 1. is it possible to get quarts extreme on / how i dont realy understand efi threads the profile manager recognizes this chip as a 256mb of vram gpu but not sure if i can get it working properly 2. would it be possible to some how make it so i dont have to modify my bios when switching backwards and fowards from my asus to tthe 7025 cause i dont want my asus to get broken from not being compatible and overheating or somthing if this is possible would be great if some one would be kind enough to clear this stuff up ive been trolling the forums for wild goose chases and people who dont know what there talking about for a while and any help would be brilliant thank you peace out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 You don't need to use any "installers" or packages, Snow Leopard already has drivers for the 9500 GT. You need an injection method - the following are available, easiest way listed first: GraphicsEnabler=y (set in /extra/com.apple.Boot.plist) injector.kext (nvenabler.kext or ATY_Init.kext for example) device properties string (in /extra/com.apple.Boot.plist) DSDT gfx device (in /extra/DSDT.aml) Only use one at a time, google/forum search each to learn more.
