aatrox Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Long story short - managed to install OS X, but can't get my card to work like it should. Everything is laggy and it's impossible to work on a PC like that. I can boot up and login, but it's waste of my time. I tried multiple drivers and fixes - nothing is working for me. Does anyone has a solution for this? More info on this - AMD FX processor, Graphics NVIDIA Chip model 7 MB (in the system shows that), MacPro 4,1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aatrox Posted October 10, 2015 Author Share Posted October 10, 2015 nvda_drv=1 Haha I tried that multiple times - not working. Still get that text that I posted a photo. I tried npci=0x2000 and 3000 nothing, GraphicsEnabler=No still nothing. I said, I tried many things, but I guess not the right one. Any other possible trick?

Just downloading the update. That's img. Do I need to boot that up or can I open it normally? And sorry, don't really understand.

Shaneee Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Open the update on the machine your having problems with and install as a normal pkg. Once its installed you need to access that HDD with your Macbook or Windows and replace the kernel and fingers crossed it should boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
