iregger Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Hello All I'm new to the forum so I hope this is in the right place. Specs CPU: AMD A10-7700K Radeon R7, 10 Compute Cores 4C+6G Graphics Card:evga nvidia geforce gt 720 Ram:8gb DDR3 So I took my first swing at making a hackintosh and I feel very close to having a stable build. I've ran into one issue that has proven to be very annoying(to be expected with a hackintosh haha) it boots up just perfectly fine without the card in but when it's in I had to enter npci=0x2000 nv_disable=0 and GraphicsEnabler=Yes To get it to boot normally but it seems not to be Identifying properly and keeps showing up as Nvidia 5mb I also followed steps from this thread; http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/307362-geforce-gt-720/ But it didn't seem to workout for me. I know amd builds can be hellish to get working but it was all I could really afford at the moment. If anyone has an idea what steps I should take i would be extremely grateful. Sidenote: Are there any up to date list of cards that are OOB? The list I keep finding are somewhat dated and the cards are hard to get a hold of. Thanks In Advance! TL;DR: My Graphics Card is being mean difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0000-1248 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I've read that you need to boot with GraphicsEnabler=No to enable the 720. Also try to install the nVidia WebDrivers here for build 13F1603 and here for build 13F1134. Boot with npci=0x2000, GraphicsEnabler=No and nvda_drv=1. See if that helps. Also, if you can't get it to work and you're on a tight budget, just get a really cheap natively supported card like the GT 210 1GB. It's only $20AUD over here in Oz. - Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0000-1248 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 It doesn't matter which one you get, they've both been tested. I had my eye on the ASUS one for an old PC (Core 2 Duo E6400) that I would use as an OS X File Server (eventually went for something higher up; the 610). All you need to do to get it working is to use GraphicsEnabler=Yes and depending on your system npci=0x2000. Best Regards, - Matt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
