Well, quoting omni:

 

"using stock NVidia drivers and little something I wrote"

 

Do you think he patched them???

Maybe omni can explain...

To clarify, it wasn't 100% supported, there were still textures that weren't loading... he's close, but nowhere near done yet.

 

Patience, as always, we'll know when it is out.

 

Owhh.. I almost wet my pants looking at the picture!! Hopefully we can have it soon.. 10 months is quite a long time but i'm still grateful to ppl like omni and np_ for working their asses off to get the drivers ready!

i didnt have problem with the resolution

even if my real pc i use x768 (17'' monitor) so it was ok

the OSX was very fast but i was trying to run after effects,final cut,photoshop,flash without acceleration and it was not good

so i said...ok man remove it cause its not a toy and you install it again when the GFX card will be supported.

so...

has anybody finish the download of the full 10.4.8 with the new kernels???

what is going on with the nvidia cards?

about the omni's screenshot...

does it mean that he has OpenGL support also??

can somebody confirm ?

darkelf how can you test such apps when your gfx card is "offline" ? ;)

or did you test them in another system with ATI?

my opinion is that without QE or OpenGL is like trying to open the photoshop in XP

in safe mode or with the plugnplay gfx card and monitor

am i wrong?

after nvidia is supported and QE/OpenGL also the results will be the same?

i think,no way!

i didnt have either 2d acceleration

but the speed in photoshop was like working in my normal PC with all the drivers set (maybe -10% perfomance in OSX without gfxCard supported)

after the QE/OpenGL enabled will not go faster?

the osx gui was very fast,i can tell this

only some scratches at moving windows and scrolling broswer windows because of no acceleration

i want to blv that after the nvidia supported specially those apps will be about +50 faster

and about those apps i want to try mac

thats why i removed it now,cause right now i cant tell for sure if it really worths

i like to experiment but also i need a good reason to try

in XP without the gfx card installed ,noway i could edit video in afterEffects

no way i could either play video or open a broswer to surf

i tried afterEffects 6.0 ,it opened with no problems but it was obvious about the speed (but it was stable)

afterEffects 7.0 and finalcut crashed with the message about openGL

I use Photoshop only for basic photo editing (like resizing, red eyes correction, etc.), and I don't use filters or advanced functions. iMovie simply doesn't work becacause it needs QE.

I use Dreamweaver and Eclipse for web applications and I don't need QE/CI for this.

 

Obviously it's clear that for your needs OSX without QE/CI is not good.

I see omni has added that the drivers have not been touched (on the contrary of what Kiko suggested) and that he used pure DVI.

This last sounds bad for me.

I already couldn't use the macvidia drivers because my monitor has only analog input!!

OT:

 

isn't it wild that everything is coming together now that the Kernel has been fixed?

 

I hope it all moves this fast and furious when Leopard hits the shelves.

 

Keep the ball rolling gentlemen. Excellent work Devs.
