DrunkMechanicnHacker Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 So everything is up and working beautifully... high cinebench openGL scores, iMessage, iCloud, continuity, etc, all work wonderfully. it just seems....laggy. more laggy than it should be, with the hardware I'm running. My 2008 Macbook Pro with 4GB of ddr2 seems to run ALMOST the same...but this is just a TAD faster. I would think that there would be a HUGE difference, never mind the overabundance of ram, just the newer and faster arch. here are the specs intel core i3 3.3GHz 16GB DDR3 1600MHz Geforce GTX 560Ti 1GB Asus P8Z68-V LE motherboard with latest UEFI Bios Yosemite 10.10.3 booted with Clover UEFI (true UEFI, not the legacy version) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pokenguyen Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Are you using SSD or HDD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunkMechanicnHacker Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 HDD. i have it installed on my MacBooks old hard drive so i can make sure it runs fine before i wipe my windows 7 install from my SSD and replace it with the cloned copy of Yosemite. I'm meaning the entire UI, when i open my applications folder on the dock, the icons seem to go frame by frame. the animations are a bit laggy. safari is either quick or dead slow. i get the beach ball a bit more than i feel i should. though like i said, Doom 3 runs at max settings at 1080P with barely a hiccup, turn down shadows one notch and its butter. youtube works perfectly. I've tried installing the nVidia web drivers, said not compatible with this version of OS X. So I changed my system definition to a mac pro 5,1, and same thing. so i set it back as an iMac 12,1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunkMechanicnHacker Posted June 17, 2015 Author Share Posted June 17, 2015 so i used super duper to put my yosemite install on my SSD and reinstalled clover and transferred the EFI partition, and installed TRIM enabler, and MY GOD what a difference. there still is some UI animation lag, but cinebench scores at 49fps. still can't install the nvidia web drivers, for some reason. but it boots in under 15 seconds, compared to almost 2 minutes on the 5400rpm macbook drive. Keeping the macbook drive installed but disconnected, in case something happens and I'm unable to boot to this install. doesn't truly go to sleep, but I don't let my computers hibernate anyway. does all this sound pretty normal for a hack, or do I have a small hiccup somewhere, from the sounds of it? chip is the i3 3.3GHz 2120 cinebench CPU scores at 262cb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
