Cyberdog ! Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I've just checked Sims 3 under Snow Leopard and its git horrible performance. I hope Apple soon gets those Nvidia drivers better. Maybe its possible to use the nvidia drivers from 10.5.7 under 32 bit? Me too with Flatout !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwolfe Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 you guys should check out phoronix test suite for all your benchmarking needs. Phoronix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreaGalileo Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Did the tests as mentioned above but failed 3.0. How come?9800 GT using efi strings on SL 550 frames per sec I have an Asus EN8800GT 512. Terrible performance compared to 10.5.8!! Haaaaa! No solution yet? Maybe we should wait 10.6.2! EDIT: I have tried Xbench. For the OpenGL test i get 188 on 10.5.8 and 80 on 10.6.1... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitch_de Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 "Terrible performance compared to 10.5.8!! Haaaaa!" What are the results (OpenGLExtensionsviewer - same Version!) in 10.5.8 if so much better than 10.6.1 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haaaaa!"What are the results (OpenGLExtensionsviewer - same Version!) in 10.5.8 if so much better than 10.6.1 ? I get 200 more frames (average) but test 3.0 still fails. Anyways, OpenGL apps (like Quick Look) work much better in 10.5.8!! Ive almost got a perfect 64bit hackintosh, this is the last/only reason iam staying in 10.5.8 for now. Everything else is faster in 10.6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitmac Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Thanx.... using ur efi string inadvertently fixed a problem i had with geekbench crashing on me now it works! My efi string looked nothing like yours..... i used aquamacs method BTW OpenGL went up a couple points but nothing spectacular.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdave Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I solved my Problem. The DVI-Cable was in the DVI-Port 2 of my 9800GT. I put it in the Port 1 and since that i don't have Performance-Problems anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega01 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Sadly it has no effect here on what DVI-Port my display is connected... This phenomenon is actually not specifically related to hackintoshes but to regular Mac systems as well: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=778806 http://legacy.macnn.com/articles/09/08/29/....snow.leopards/ So it seems to be a "official" problem of Mac OS X 10.6(.1). Maybe those who solved this problem by connecting the display to another DVI-Port could provide some benchmarks (before and after) to compare the results. Somehow I'm a little leery of that solution... Greetings, Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LocusOfControl Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I'd really be interested in viewing some ATI-results with this. Anyone out there with a 48x0 to show off his/her results? Here is mine with benchmark/multisample 4 - haven't tried any optimisation and raw settings From memory does appear to score lower than 10.5.8 but no longer have it steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdave Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Please check the xbech results before/after DVI port fix and post here! Thanks mate. there is no difference between before and after. both round about 100 points. (open gl test only) but the effects (exposé, dock, quicklook) are definitely smoother.

(open gl test only)but the effects (exposé, dock, quicklook) are definitely smoother. That all above use OpenGL , but the problem may NOT be in the OpenGL part ! So you didnt get so much less OpenGL speed benching OpenGL with OpenGLExtensionsviewer. The 3 above use also other Frameworks which may have bugs or may get bad performance depending card vendor. ATI Part in OpenCL Framework for example is unuseable (buggy) - Nvidia GPUs havent that problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
