kocoman Posted April 30, 2011 Author Share Posted April 30, 2011 Why does the ram of Gt210,Gt220 matter? I am not using it in 1080p as for nvidia 8400GS, has anyone else tried it? and make sure it didn't use Software Renderer? ie: check with OpenGL extensions viewer?

And i assume it was cause by insufficient ram. I check that in Win7 which uses 90 plus MB video card ram when doing nothing at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H8TR Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Nvidia GeForce G210 works great. I have an ASUS model which is silent. QE/CI working. Its hardware accelerated using QuickTime h.264. OpenGL Extensions Viewer also shows it's hardware acclerated and runs the OpenGL tests up to 2.1. (OpenGL 3.0 is incomplete on 10.7) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OpenGL Extensions Viewer also shows it's hardware acclerated and runs the OpenGL tests up to 2.1. (OpenGL 3.0 is incomplete on 10.7) Are you sure about the hardware acceleration for h.264? All my test only the mobile gpus work ie 9400m 310m 320m 330m all laptops or ionitx based motherboards. Just double checking. snakeman Actually the GMA 950 works fine with a little DSDT patching and arch=i386 kernel edit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
