Does this work with full QE and CI? Im going to purchase a gigabyte mobo this weekend that has a GMA950.

Yes it does. This is actually the only graphics card that fully works without any patching.

YES!!!!!!! Finally!

Considering that the MacBook that I bought had the integrated GMA950 Graphics, I would hope it would work natively.

I have Intel 945GNTLKR mobo with the GMA 950 video on it.
I have 64 megs ram allocated to the video card

For some reason when watching Video - the video is not smooth - but a bit jittery.
The computer is connected to a plasma with resolution of 1024x768

I watch TV using an EyeTV 500 with HDTV channels

GMA 950 should be fast enough to handle this sort of video but on mine it seems not to be.

Is there a way to optimize the video?

I am running 10.4.9 and believe that I installed the video drivers properly.

I have QE and CI working

On XBench 1.3

Total score = 92 minimum
CPU = 68 (Intel P4 641 @3.2 GHz)
Quartz Graphics = 100
Open GL = 207
User Interface = 142


How do I get this working better without changing the CPU or adding another video card?

I bought my Gigabyte MoBo and everything works 100% Network, HD Audio, SATAII, IDE, Intel GMA950 (QE+CI) BUT

I can't change resolutions..... HOW DO I DO IT? I don't want the change the com.apple.Boot.plist file

You'll probably need to put you dev id to a certain kext (not sure which one exactly). I recommend that you just put the required resolution in the plist instead.

mount your OSX86 installer

System > Installation > Packages > Jas.10.4.8.GMA.950.Support.pkg to enable to change resolution..

shredplayer do you think you could link me to the pkg file because it wasnt on my install disc

bump

Anyone? Can anyone link the JaS.GMA950.Support.pkg file for me?

10.4.9 has a bit of a bug it disables the QE/CI get your file at

You could try allocating more system memory into your GMA950 controller from the BIOS. Doesn't it take up to 128MB?

I dont think that the 64 megs is the issue.

Read - http://www.dansdata.com/gz014.htm

64 megs is way more than enough for a 1024x768 resolution.
Am wondering if the ram is not fast enough for video processing
Must be something else

I went to the http://diabolik1605.com/ site but the only stuff I see is for ATI and NVidia cards
I see the GMA900 patch - but not the 950 .
Any direct link to the file mentioned?

diaboliks package doesnt do anything on a 950

Link to the file anyone...?

Im still waiting. I've searched high and low.

I improved my video performance by changing my RAM from 533 speed to 667.
I physically changed the ram - not just the settings. Also now dual channel.
The GMA950 uses the onboard ram so getting faster ram helped my video performance.

Weird thing is that my XBench score did not improve all that much

I also would still like to get the file Jas.10.4.8.GMA.950.Support.pkg
