Nvidia GTX 560 poor performance

08 October 2012 - 02:28 PM

I have a PNY brand Nvidia GTX560 OC 1024mb graphics card (not Ti). I am currently working fairly well, with functioning sleep and QE/GL and resolution support. However graphics performance is not nearly as good as it should be. I have tried pre-made patched KEXT files, non of which worked, and some cause freezing or KP issues. I am currently using a patch which is stable, but is not enabling full acceleration.

From what I have read the Apple Graphics Power Management kext is the real key.

So can any point me to a real guide that not only tells me what I need to edit, but can actually explain what I am editing, and what the effects of changing the values really are. A guide that tells you what to do without telling you why you are doing it is next to useless, and in some cases can even guide you to screw up your system.

Here is what my machines profile is set to:

I am currently running just this one graphics card, an Intel i5 3.09 Ghz, 8 GB Corsair 1333 ram MB is a Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H
SMBios Mac Pro 3,1 (if I use other Mac Pro profiles, it will KP during boot)

If anyone here can either patch it correctly, or instruct me how to do so or link me to a page that properly explains how to do it, that would be wonderful. If you need more information about my setup, I would be happy to provide it if I missed anything.
