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 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 Share on other sites More sharing options...
