Hi all

 

I own an EVGA GTX295 (Dual-PCB - not the Co-op) edition (URL - http://www.evga.com/articles/00446/ - the card part number is 017-P3-1291-AR) . I followed the instruction, install the driver 18.5.2f16_geforce_mac_osx, using Raph tool to get PciRoot, convert to Hex and insert to com.apple.Boot.plist and hell yes, it works but with one defect. That is System Pref > Display doesn't list all Screen Resolutions for me. The resolution is fixed to 1280x1024. I can change the screen resolution by modify the Graphics Mode key of com.apple.Boot.plist:

 

 

	<key>Graphics Mode</key>
 <string>1680x1050x32</string>

 

 

However after reboot, the screen resolution doesn't change to 1680x1050 (which is my BenQ G2200W native resolution). It is still 1280x1024... So I tried change to 1600x1200 and it works with that.. so I am really wondering if I did something wrong here, why the driver won't let me use my native resolution 1680x1050...??!! And the performance is very poor on playing HD movie, It's abit jaggering so I am just wondering what's going wrong (I have turn GraphicsEnabler=No in my boot plist)

 

Please find below my com.apple.Boot.plist:

Hello! I'm an italian user that have a GTX 295, i've follow installation guide, everything seems ok but i've a problem: characters are very bad!

 

Look at this image, there don't appear clearly.... but if I see an HD video it look pretty good so acceleration seems ok....

 

I post an image of my system profile...

 

I've a ViewSonic VX2835vm, DVI-HDMI cable (DVI in GTX, HDMI in monitor)...

 

Thank to everybody!

I also found out that NVDAresman.kext failed to load which lead to failure in loading NVDA50Hal.kext.

So I can't get it working on my rig since 10.6.5 update. I tried everything. Last post was around 3 weeks ago so anyone get news about it?

Hi...

 

first my system:

 

Mobo: Asus P5E3 Premium Wifi (latest bios)

CPU: Q6600

RAM: 4GB GSkill PC12800

GFX: XFX GTX295 DUAL PCB

HDD: Samsung 250GB

 

I instaled Hazard SL 10.6.6i and then updated to 10.6.7 and used the tools from tonymacx86, everything worked great, audio, wifi, etc... also using latest chamelon to boot.

 

for the GFX i followed the guied on post 33, did everything step by step but them when system boot when i am getting to the desktop screen gets blue and after a minute or so system reboots, if i boot with the -x and graphicsenabler=no flags system boots but after a minute or two it freezes.

 

tryed other guides to but still no go on my GTX, with enablers i get black screen with some letters...

 

can some one help me?

 

thanks!
