But still no QE?

 

I wonder how it comes that Natit loads, but gives no QE?

 

It is a 512Mb card and I just dropped Natit_Dual 0.02 in.

 

See attached file for proof.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

edit the GeForce.kext to include your device id to get qe/ci

I don't see Geforce.kext in any folder?

 

I only have the ones (see attachement)

 

well then thats why you get no qe/ci or lockups when using natit and a 512mb NVidia card :)

 

get a geforce.kext from a 10.4.8 or 10.4.9 COMBO update from apple and extract them with pacifist.

Nvidia 512M cards don't work(QE/CI) yet, isn't it?

 

or 7950GT is special? i found it in Titian HCL:

 

Calibre 790+ (GeForce 7950 GT) PCIe Sparkle/Calibre 0x0291 512MB Dropped it in, worked great. No kext editing required. Only one port works at a time.

So the best that can be expected from a 7950 w/512MB is that it'll work and only detect 256MB?

 

And SLI won't happen at all since nVidia hasn't created the driver for macs, right?

 

just a small correction here, apple makes the drivers. they get the code from nvidia and ati.

SLI will probably not happen, but 512Mb can be fully working with QE/CI with ROM mod...

check at macvidia...

 

Thanks to all u guys I have my osx 10.4.9 up and running on a 650 sli evga 7950 gt full qe/ci.

 

I flashed my 7950gt with the manli 7950gt bios updated with the gotoh method and edit geforce nvdaresman and nvdanv40hal to only include the device id's for my card after installing nvinject.

 

now if i could get the sata and network going on the nvidia 650 chipset it would be great!!

 

Great job guys :P

i have a gainward bliss 7950gt 512 mb runnin with qe/ci now. used this "512MB ROM Patcher.zip" from that "http://nvinject.free.fr/downloads.php" site on my own bios - on the same site you´ll find the latest nvinject for 512 mb cards. use "http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/" to have a DOS boot cd which can handle USB sticks to read/write your bios. use this "http://www.mvktech.net/content/view/15/37/" as a guide HOW to read/flash your bios - AND the same site for getting your bios if you lose it anyhow. the card is still usuable under windows. just drop nvinject (mentioned above) in your kextfolder - et voila - easy as sh*t and workx!
