defuse Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Hi, I just installed a Gigabyte GT 640 on a GA-EP45-UD3P motherboard. I have the drivers installed through nVidia and everything seems to be working. I'm currently running it through dual dispaly (HDMI + DVI). Well is there some sort of test like Prime 95 or something to know that my card works fine or I will just have to find an issue down the road and fix it?

WhatTheTech Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Well the general test to see if QE/CI is working is documented here. I believe that the same test applies for Mountain Lion. This is the main issue with graphics card on a hackintosh. Prime95 is a stress tester, and won't give you much information beyond whether your system is stable. Some other general tests: 1) Check System Information to make sure that everything looks good in the graphics department. 2) In System Preferences, take a look at "Display(s)" and see what resolution options you have. If you're running a 1920x1080 monitor and OSX is displaying at this res, this is a good sign all is right. 3) Try playing a DVD. Any playback issues? 4) Try installing Steam for Mac and give one of their demos a try. Gaming performance on OSX will almost certainly be less than what it is on Windows, but it's worth a shot. The above tests are good for general info - apart from OSX updates you don't need to worry too much about issues down the road. Hope this helps!

defuse Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 Thanks! The ripple effect works fine so QE/CI works. The DVD player wont launch but I think there is a tutorial on how to fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
