Geforce GT 610 - OOB in 10.8.2?

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 :D

 

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

 

Will the Geforce 210 be more friendly?

 

Thanks!

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 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&0xff000000</string>

<key>IOPCIMatch</key>

<string>0x000010de&0x0000ffff</string>

 

<key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>

<string>

0x104a10de&0xffc0ffff

</string>

will do the trick?

<key>IOPCIMatch</key>

<string>0x104a10de&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.

well only for info

i' m update to 10.8.3 and to work i need add my id card in the AGPM

 

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.

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.

Can you please tell me which id did you use for 104a in 0x104a10de&0x0000ffff?

I had a difficult time with my latest ITX build, using an ASUS P8H77-I mainboard and i3-3240 CPU. Was able to get onboard HD2500 graphics to work using the ig-platform-id=11 injection (shows up as HD4000 with 768MB), but no matter what else I tried, and believe me I tried everything I've been able to find, I could NEVER get QE/CI to work. Just impossible with the setup. And yes, it was DVI-D, not VGA.

 

So since I hadn't budgeted for a graphics card, I went cheapo and got the GeForce GT 610 (Gigabyte). It appeared to work OOB, although had pretty lame Cinebench scores, but the more I broke it in, the more the "NVDA(GL) channel exception error" freezes came up. They happened at weird intervals -- during screensaver mode; when browsing a folder of jpgs, looking at websites with minimal graphics, etc.

 

Removing AGPM.kext was of no benefit, and I found you have to leave the other NV* kexts in S/L/E as well. The GPU PWM temps are fine in HW Monitor, so I've been stumped. I did add the "nvda_drv=1" string back into the boot.plist (it had automatically been erased for some reason when I switched between Chameleon Wizard and manual plist editing in TextWrangler); see if it makes any difference. I also modded AGPM.kext by adding the GT 610's Vendor and Device IDs, since they weren't included in the iMac12,2 SMBIOS.

 

That's about all I can muster. If I get any more freezes, I'll return this card and get a GT 620 or something. I've had good luck in the past with the GTX-550Ti, but can't seem to find any locally right now, plus I think I'll have problems fitting that inside this small Raidmax rig.

 

=================

 

UPDATE: 24 HOURS LATER

 

Well, it's a done deal...I'm returning the GT 610. Why?

 

---> NVDA(OpenGL): Channel exception errors (and resulting system freezes) no matter what. I've tried the AGPM doctoring, I've tried different SMBIOSes, I've fiddled with all the extensions and the kernel flags. Nothing works. Another F-U to the whole idea of Hackintosh building.

 

Recommendations:

• Don't buy the Asus P8H77-I board for a Mini-ITX build. It works okay as a NAS server, but if you want a GUI on it, forget it.

• Don't buy an Intel i3-3240 CPU. The price might seem good, but the HD2500 on-chip graphics is a pit of trouble and time expenditure.

• Avoid the Nvidia GeForce GT 610. Even at $40, it's a waste of $$.
