viomusicstudio Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I want to buy a cheap,good card and, if it is possible, native on Mac OS X. I see that GTX650 run out of the box. What is your opinion about GT 740? It is compatible with Mac OS X. I do alot of google searches, but no information found about this card. Thanks.

Allan Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 acquire this GT 740 without knowing if it works on OS X is risky, even if the Fermi and Kepler cards. try GTX 650ti Boost. the user Shingai, is using one of these without problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viomusicstudio Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 Does GTX650 ti or non ti run 100% with all functions enabled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 In my opinion, GTX 650ti is the best. I haven't seen any user with GTX 650. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pimentel Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 HelloThe difference bettwe GTX 650 and GTX 650TI, is because one is unlocked(TI) to get more clock speed and other is locked(non-TI)And GTX 650TI is very good for games.GT 740 i guess have support, but GTX 650TI is really OOB in fact. Don't have much difference bettwe this GTX 650 that you posted and GTX 740, my advice: Choose a more powerful hardware.GTX 650TI 198 or 256bit and 2GB or 3Gb is the best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hnak Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 GT 740 works on Yosemite, injection = off. Galaxy GF-GT740-LE2GHD is recognized as NVIDIA Chip Model 2048MB. OpenGL works, though not so great performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitch_de Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 I have GT 740 , 10.11.3 (15D21), but NO inject for nvidia. Only flag for using the nvidia web drivers. I am very happy with my GT 740. (has kelper gpu = no probs compared to new maxwell or old fermi gpus) I use chameleon (Clover has same options): <key>GraphicsEnabler</key> <string>No</string> <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>nvda_drv=1</string> <key>ShowInfo</key> 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Follow your guide but not install nvidia web drivers,smbios set to macpro3,1,nvda_drv=1,I got random reboot when OS X log in.smbios set to imac10,1,nvda_drv=1,I got black screen when OS X log in.I have to use inject nvidia and imac10,1 to solve the problem. Install nvidia web drivers,smbios set to imac10,1,nvda_drv=1,everything work fine.But I don't like nvidia web drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liujianwei Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 10.11.4,GT 740 stop work,replace with GTX 260+,work again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitch_de Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 10.11.4,GT 740 stop work,replace with GTX 260+,work again. My GT 740 works normal after update 10.11.4. Same as before: <key>GraphicsEnabler</key> <string>No</string> <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>nvda_drv=1</string> <key>ShowInfo</key> And update the Nvidia Web driver also (after every OS X Update). But even without Web Driver (because Nvidia driver comes a day later) the 740 GT should work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jminrod Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 My Nvidia driver app isn't showing. I downloaded the new app but it never shows in my apps. The reason I am looking is my system preference folder will not show anything. It shows up but nothing. I was doing some research and it appears that nvidia drivers might cause this. If I go to about this mac it shows "EVGA GeForce GT 740 0 MB" does the zero meg mean its not really installed? I am 10.11.2 currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitch_de Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Have you set NVIDIA injection active? Try to Disable that (clover or chameleon). In Chameleon its GrapicsEnabler=No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jminrod Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 I just checked (Im spelling this out in case Im doing something stupid, newbie) by launching the mounting the efi folder. Selected the config.plist file and drug it onto the ares logo and it launched. The box on the graphics tab next to NVidia was checked, I unchecked it and restarted but nothing changed. I tried reinstalling the nvidia driver but I get the same thing it never launches and it never shows in the apps folder. I double checked the system preferences and it is still blank. I will double check the 10.11.0 install but I am pretty sure that one shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spencerlievens Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I have a hackintosh and it is working beautifully. Now the irony, my Mac Pro 1,1 (which has been flashed to be a 2,1 and 64bit EFI to run Yosemite) has a GT740 and it gets no picture whatsoever. I installed Yosemite 10.10.5, Nvidia Web Driver for 10.10.5 (latest f06 I believe), CUDA drivers, card has the power going into it from the board via 6pin and have tried in all possible pci-e slots. I installed Yosemite and all of this on the original 7000 series 256mb Nvidia card and then once all of this was installed, I shut down the machine, uninstall the original card, install the GT740, power up, pram reset, and after the second chime I allow the system to start. Black screen, nothing more. Sometimes the machine will just sit there, sometimes it will just restart on its on accord. I am running the DVI cable from the only output I can utilise which is the DVI-I output. It also has a DVI-D and Mini-HDMI outputs. Any ideas?

Frank Nitty Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 The following shows up in About This Mac for my GTX 680 in 10.11.3: NVIDIA Chip Model 5 MB Anybody come up with a fix for this already?
