invisiblesurfer Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Hello folks, long time listener... I recently installed the iPC 10.5.6 on my beautiful gigabyte mobo - everything went fine. I also have a 8800GT 512 MB NVIDIA gfx card, for which I specifically installed the "driver" at the osx install config. The thing is, I am experiencing quite a lot of image shearing and generally slow graphics (eg in spaces, image loading times etc). My question is, how can I tell whether or not hardware acceleration is enabled? (I understand people refer to this as QE/CL - not sure what the acronyms mean exactly) And how do I enable it if not enabled? I don't know how to "uninstall" the current kext "drivers" and install the OSx86 Tools version of the kext - or even the EFIStudio one. I'm afraid I might mess something up. Also it must be noted that, following installation, I downloaded the required 8800GT kexts via the OSX86 Tools application - one of which called something like "NVIDIA ResMan" or something like that. This caused my osx boot to freeze and not knowing how to fix it I had to reinstall the hole thing. If this information helps, my graphics card currently displays the correct resolution @ 1920x1200. A million thanks in advance! Costa Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/163947-is-hardware-acceleration-up-and-running/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerkex'd Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Not CL, CI. Open System Profiler and click Graphics/Displays. If you see.... Core Image: Hardware Accelerated Quartz Extreme: Supported ....you have full acceleration. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz_Compositor http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Core_Image Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/163947-is-hardware-acceleration-up-and-running/#findComment-1142969 Share on other sites More sharing options...
