Hi,
I should explaine the problem, after i installed 10.4.3 osx started to run really slow, when QE & CI was enabled.
ok, i tried all the atiRadeon 9700kexts, and i found the one that was giving me the problems its called ATIRadeon9700GA.plugin. But the only thing is that need that kext for QE and CI to work. Oh yea when i load the ATIRadeon9700GA.plugin kext and QE & CI are working the system slows down like crazy as i said before. I tried to do a xbench with QE&CI but it would take a billion years. The graphics test was slow as anything with QE&CI. So i don't know what todo? can i load ATIRadeon8500GA.plugin so that i get QE&CI, or will it not work. I tried to load ATIRadeonGA.plugin but it didn't work. So idon't know what to do. I also have bunch of xbench for each one i loaded. I have them attached. U can kinda of tell which each one are. Tell me what u guys thinks. The average score on xbench is like 62 and i don't know with QE & CI.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
im looking at the ATIRadeon9700GA.plugin.kext plist. and i see alot long numbers. The thing right bellow is somthing from the plist, and what i was wondering what these numbers were. Because i when i looked at the graphics card gpu infomation and agp information i see simmular numbers. I mean is there any numbers i should add? I don't know what im talking about so might be talking about nothing.

and i was also looking at the ati gpu info and stuff and i see alot of simillar numbers, i don't know what im talking about but is there sothing missing?
This is some of the ati gfx card info:

what do u guys think?

In the 9700 GA plist, replace 1002514c with 10024E68

4E68 is your correct device ID. The current device referenced is a different card, see:

http://pci-ids.ucw.cz/iii/?i=1002

After editing, save and set permissions, then restart.

cook thanks i will try that

for some reason it didn't work, it still runs slow, what about the back side "000a27898d3e" ?

is there anything else i have to change? because right now it isn't working, its still slow

hey,

This is what is in the plist right now:

and i also uploaded the kext, sry for some reason it dosn't allow me to upload the kext . Do u guys see any mistakes in the plist.

Thanks

ok, i found another thing: in this number ---> 10024e68-0000-0000-0000-000a27898d3e (i had to add the BIOS String 113-A07521-104 at the end of the number) it became faster but not as fast as when i don't have the kext in the system folder. So im thinking that i have to add more stuff to these 2 numbers. ONe of the them is 10024e68-0000-0000-0000-000a27898d3e and the other one is <key>CFPlugInTypes</key>
<dict>
<key>ACCF0000-0000-0000-0000-000a2789904e</key>
Im not sure what to add here:
I have alot of info no my gfx card:

I was think that this # 000A0000-000BFFFF might be added to the back end of this--->ACCF0000-0000-0000-0000-000a2789904e ( im just guessing here, i thought that because both of them end with "a" i really don't know what im doing here. I would appreciate some help from someone who knew somthing about this.

Thanks

come on sombody

What exactly is the problem? you state an xbench score of 62 which is perfectly respectalble. if you are concerned about the graphics artefacts that come with the ati drivers, this is a known issue, a symptom of the fact that the drivers are not finished..

wht do you mean by slugish? it seems like you are simply trying ot make your system faster than it is..

You keep hassling with "Come on somebody" etc. but I don't think anybody really understands what problem you are trying to solve.. if the drivers slow down your system, it is probably because..... they're not finished yet!

the problem is im not trying to make the system faster. literally the system is unusable if that kext is load, its that slow. iv given up. so Thanks for all the help anyway. Sry about all the posts and "come on sombody" stuff. xbench score of 62 was with out that kext loaded.

Thanks

Hey Tabha,

this is very interesting stuff! Where did you exactly add your BIOS P/N to?

greets,

xtraa

Apple menu > run > regedit...

lol

Yes, I know its in the kext/.plugin, but i wonder where he exactly put it in the <key>10025b60-0000-0000-0000-000a27898d3e</key>
