[Monkey D. Luffy]

Hey Guys,

I'm just wondering if the GT 610 video card will work out of the box from 10.8.2?

I'm setting up a hackintosh for my parents and will send it overseas.  As much as possible, I don't want to have to tell my dad to type and edit some kext files

If not, what would be a very cheap video card I can use?

Will the Geforce 210 be more friendly?

Thanks!

ATI HD 5770 O.O.B,  HD 6850, NV 210,  and  here,take a look OSx86

at 4pm EST today, the GT 620 will be on sale on newegg for $14 after rebate.

What are your thoughts about the GT 620 over 610 (about osx compatibility).

Thanks!

I would avoid x210 / x220 cards and use x230 / x240 gpus - much faster VRAM / speed againgst lowest end GT 210 / GT 220. Even oldi 9600 GT / 8800 GT / 9800 GT is much faster than GT 220.

i' ve Asus Geforce gt 610 1gb and now it's fully working with the developer 10.8.3 kext's for nvidia card, i' ve only add in it my id card.. this is the extract kext and work good also on 10.8.2

i have the card 610 gt
2gb vga dvi hdmi
it work 100%
fully reconigze
in aitkos mountain lion 10.8.2

I have the same graphic card, can you show me how do you modify the kext.
is it modify the NVDAStartup.kext/content/info.plist and
add

<key>IOPCIClassMatch</key>
<string>0x03000000&amp;0xff000000</string>
<key>IOPCIMatch</key>
<string>0x000010de&amp;0x0000ffff</string>

<key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>
<string>
  0x104a10de&amp;0xffc0ffff
</string>
will do the trick?

My trick is this:


<key>IOPCIClassMatch</key>
<string>0x03000000&amp;0xff000000</string>
<key>IOPCIMatch</key>
<string>0x104a10de&amp;0x0000ffff</string>

but i think can work also how you post

It is a very weak card. Weaker then intels HD4000.

Thats correct. I mean, that not all need very fast gpus, but in Speed/US$ you get better low end cards.
OOB isnt real if you need to patch some of the .kext! Chameleons ge=yes works more easily.
Also, 610 can do CUDA/OpenCL (& CoreImage) but its very slow in this gpu computing - if you use Toast 11 Boost Encoder for h264 gpu encoding (uses CUDA) then you would get much faster
gpu boost with at least GT 630.

Such an gpu (610) may an good way if the Mac/PC runs only Office products, without use of OpenGL and OpenCL functions.

Please try OpenCL Oceanwave & Bandwidth test - an GT 610 result is missing for the result base.

What did you have to change in AGPM to get it to work? My machine is stuck at 10.8.2, any attempt to update or install 10.8.3 fails to get past DSMO has arrived.

I took a quick look AGPM and saw some references to Vendor and Device, is that what I need to edit?

i' ve only edit in the MacPro5,1 (my smbios is like that) the id of nvidia card replacing the original with mine.

Thanks for the kexts. Sadly my machine will still can't get past DSMOS has arrived. Its the oddest thing. It worked with Retail drivers in 10.8.2 just fine, but now I can't find anyway to make it work.

[JCsHands]

Got it! I removed all the AppleIntel video kexts and it started right up. It must be that my desktop has onboard video as well, I have never bothered to check if it is the HD2500 or HD4000, I need the dual displays offered by this very inexpensive card.
