Dense Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Just took a look at the 10.5.2 NVDANV50Hal.kext and the good news is G92 support is in! Here is the IOPCIPrimaryMatch 0x00f010de&0xfff0ffff 0x019010de&0xfff0ffff 0x040010de&0xfff0ffff 0x042010de&0xfff0ffff 0x06e010de&0xfff0ffff 0x060010de&0xffe0ffff Important part is the 0x060010de which matches the G92. 0611 G92 [GeForce 8800 GT] Hopefully next few days we can get a proper confirmation that it works with non EFI based G92 cards.

socal swimmer Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 that's kind of interesting that you have access to 10.5.2 when no one else does. where did you find that kext? EDIT: google searches are always good ... that is awesome!! does this mean nearly guaranteed support? or are we going to hit the same problems as with the 8600 GT?

I don't have that kext but someone else I know does. Its really not important, what is important is that G92 support is there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korrupted Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Could you get said person to post this kext up on Rapidshare/here on the forum? I'm sure there are plenty of people who own this card that are willing to try it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there are plenty of people who own this card that are willing to try it.. Not going to happen. I was interested just in what is in it. Not about asking someone to distribute the files. Support added based on the updated plist. 0x042010de&0xfff0ffff 0421 GeForce 8500 GT 0422 GeForce 8400 GS 0423 GeForce 8300 GS 0425 GeForce 8600M GS 0426 GeForce 8400M GT 0426 G86M [GeForce 8400M GT] video card on my new sony vaio laptop 0427 GeForce 8400M GS 0428 GeForce 8400M G 0429 Quadro NVS 140M 042a Quadro NVS 130M 042b Quadro NVS 135M 042d Quadro FX 360M 042f Quadro NVS 290 0x06e010de&0xfff0ffff 0x060010de&0xffe0ffff 0611 G92 [GeForce 8800 GT] 8400/8600 guys should be working now too. This looks much better than the original 10.5.1 plist which had partial 8600 support. Whats more interesting is the 0x06e0 which has no pci ids listed on the linux pci id repository site. Something new? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vyan28 Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 i hope this is true if it is, ill wait and keep my 8800 gt. i was going to trade it for a G80 8800 GTS(which would be stupid because i paid a cheaper price than the 8800 GT) or buy a cheap video card for now just to run mac.

CaiusJulius Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 8400/8600 guys should be working now too. This looks much better than the original 10.5.1 plist which had partial 8600 support. Whats more interesting is the 0x06e0 which has no pci ids listed on the linux pci id repository site. Something new? You say 8600/8400 should be working now too... I'm not much of a mac geek, but I thought that the 8600 has already had drivers since a while, but they didn't help anyone to get QE/CI on their cards. What makes this update different? (don't get me wrong, i *do* want it to work!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrjoe Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Build 9C7, it is! Anyways, this is great... all the drivers for my hardware come out right after I start OSx86'ing. I'm going to buy a 8800GT, and this comes. My computer's 82566 wouldn't work, but when I start OSx86'ing bigdaddyrob2g makes one... Anyways, thanks to Apple for finally (finally finally) switching to nVidia's HIGH-END products. I might just get an iMac! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclonefr Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 I'm wondering if it supports G92 GeForce 8800GTS 512MB... Anyway if you really wanna try the new kexts, be sure to grab the new OpenGL.framework too ! I guess if it's like the G80, you just need to inject the usual NVIDIA values...

alexcooltranquille Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 My 8800GTS 512 have this dev_id : 0x0600 It's a very good news for this great video card! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

socal swimmer Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 So are there any confirmed success stories with G92 cards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindmar Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Is the 8800gt way better than say a 7300GT? I ordered the 8800gt by mistake. meant to get a GTS.. Then I got a 7300GT. Just deciding if its worth RMA'ing my 8800gt or waiting until support comes around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgirl Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 8800gt is the CARD, even 8600s are better than the 7300GT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanakorizo Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 8800gt right now is the fastest card for the price faster than GTS / almost the same (little slower) than GTX any news on the kext??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindmar Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Then maybe I'll hold onto it and sell of the 7300gt when I need to.. I got an XFX 8800GT just sitting here in the box.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
