i7Driftz Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Hey guys! This is my first post, so please tolerate my noobishness. I will preface by saying that I've browsed and searched every forum for hours to try and find a solution. Here's my build: Intel i7 4770k (3.5GHz) Ga Z87 OC Mobo EVGA GTX 770 SC w/ACX Cooling 12GB GSkill Sniper 1600Mhz RAM (Waiting on another 4GB stick) Samsung 840 Pro 256GB SSD (Primary Drive - Running Win7) 1.5TB WD Black - (I have this set up with a 1TB FAT data partition between Windows and OSX + a 500GB partition for OSX) Alright, down to the dirty work.. I have Mavericks loaded with Ethernet and audio working, but graphics is a {censored} shoot. Most of what I've read validates that my card should just work right out the box. I did have to move all the kexts related to intel drivers into a backup folder because it was preventing boot. Here's what I've tried. Nvidia CUDA drivers using pandora's box to load generic nVidia support I have my BIOS set to Init Display First PCI -x -v -f GraphicsEnabler=No GraphicsEnabler=Yes npci=0x3000 npci=0x2000 PCIRootUID=0 PCiRootUID=1 cpus=1 My system does recognize a nvidia card (7mb) but I have no graphics acceleration what-so-ever. I'm so confused.. Anything helps! Thank you in advance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dette Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Hey all, I'm having the exactly same issue as OP. The only big difference for my system is that I have a 4770 (NOT K) and an AMD 7970GHz instead of an nVidia card. I have everything work except graphics, just like the OP. A thing to note is that that I CANNOT boot with the Apple Intel graphics kexts. It gets stuck on Missing Bluetooth Controller Transport, but that doesn't happen if I remove the Apple Intel kexts. Also, with the boot flags GraphicsEnabler=No and IGPEnabler=Yes it shows my 7970 as Unknown with 7MB . If I switch it to GraphicsEnabler=Yes it shows my card during boot with -v, but it hangs after loading audio kexts. Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
