OMX-Knuckles Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Folks have 9800GTX working, shouldn't GX2 be fairly similar? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/101045-support-for-a-9800-gx2/#findComment-726936 Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 No, 9800GTX is based on the G92 (from the 8800 cards). [incorrect statement removed] Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/101045-support-for-a-9800-gx2/#findComment-743506 Share on other sites More sharing options...
redcell Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 actually a 9800gx2 has 2xg92 GPU's so probably your 9800gtx driver should work on them also. but no SLI offcourse. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of...rocessing_units Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/101045-support-for-a-9800-gx2/#findComment-743533 Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Sorry redcell. I was thinking about the 9600GT, the 9600GT doesn't work because it has a G94. You are right, the 9800GX2 is 2xG92, but I haven't heard of any success with the 9800GTX driver because OS X doesn't like SLi and 2xGPU chips.

demonfox13x Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 there is a driver for the ATI 3870x2 but only one core works, so shouldnt that be the same case with the 9800gx2?

squigglethecow Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 So, did we decide weather or not there was support for the gx2? Not that NVIDIA has supported it well yet, but is there a way to get it working half decently?

aqua-mac Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Yes there is some support for GX2's, I got 2 of them working as you can see here: However, it is fairly tricky. You will need an X48 motherboard it seems and on most boards you have to put the card in the second slot.

alexlyc Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 does it still work in 10.5.5? I haven't upgrade yet lol... Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/101045-support-for-a-9800-gx2/#findComment-898099 Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqua-mac Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Yes it does. In fact it now uses a G92-450 pre-release open GL engine. I was hoping this may cure the past problems with this card, but it seems there is no change. However, performance has taken a big step forward.

arkel99 Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Does annybody knows how to EASY change the vram size? Is says 32 mb. I have a geforce 9800GX2 card. It works with snow leopard and rebel efi. But i cannot change the resolution higher than 800x600, because of the vram size.
