joneslee85 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 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: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>GraphicsEnabler</key> <string>No</string> <key>Graphics Mode</key> <string>1680x1050x32</string> <key>Kernel</key> <string>mach_kernel</string> <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>pmVersion=20</string> <key>Timeout</key> <string>3</string> <key>Default Partition</key> <string>hd(0,3)</string> <key>Instant Menu</key> <string>No</string> <key>device-properties</key> <string>b80700000100000002000000d60300001500000002010c00d041030a010000000101060000010101060000000101060000020101060000007fff04003a000000400032002c0068007700730065006e0073006f0072002d0070006100720061006d0073002d00760065007200730069006f006e000000080000000000000222000000400032002c006400650076006900630065005f0074007900700065000000120000004e5644412c6770752d64696f64650e0000004e00560050004d00000020000000010000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001e00000072006f006d002d007200650076006900730069006f006e0000001200000036322e30302e36432e30302e3035100000004e00560043004100500000001800000005000000000003000c0000000000000b0000000022000000400032002c002300730069007a0065002d00630065006c006c0073000000080000000000000022000000400030002c006400650076006900630065005f00740079007000650000000b000000646973706c6179100000006d006f00640065006c0000001a0000004e5649444941204765466f726365204754582032393514000000400030002c006e0061006d0065000000120000004e5644412c446973706c61792d4120000000400032002c0063006f006d00700061007400690062006c0065000000160000004e5644412c73656e736f722d706172656e7414000000400031002c006e0061006d0065000000120000004e5644412c446973706c61792d4212000000400032002c00720065006700000008000000000000021c0000006400650076006900630065005f0074007900700065000000100000004e5644412c4765466f72636520000000400031002c0063006f006d00700061007400690062006c00650000000e0000004e5644412c4e564d616326000000400032002c0023006100640072006500730073002d00630065006c006c007300000008000000000000010e0000006e0061006d00650000000f0000004e5644412c506172656e7422000000400031002c006400650076006900630065005f00740079007000650000000b000000646973706c617920000000400030002c0063006f006d00700061007400690062006c00650000000e0000004e5644412c4e564d6163220000005600520041004d002c0074006f00740061006c00730069007a0065000000080000000000003836000000400032002c00680077006300740072006c002d0070006100720061006d0073002d00760065007200730069006f006e000000080000000000000214000000400032002c006e0061006d00650000001100000073656e736f722d706172656e74d60300001500000002010c00d041030a010000000101060000010101060000000101060000000101060000007fff04003a000000400032002c0068007700730065006e0073006f0072002d0070006100720061006d0073002d00760065007200730069006f006e000000080000000000000222000000400032002c006400650076006900630065005f0074007900700065000000120000004e5644412c6770752d64696f64650e0000004e00560050004d00000020000000010000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001e00000072006f006d002d007200650076006900730069006f006e0000001200000036322e30302e36432e30302e3034100000004e00560043004100500000001800000005000000000003000c0000000000000b0000000022000000400032002c002300730069007a0065002d00630065006c006c0073000000080000000000000022000000400030002c006400650076006900630065005f00740079007000650000000b000000646973706c6179100000006d006f00640065006c0000001a0000004e5649444941204765466f726365204754582032393514000000400030002c006e0061006d0065000000120000004e5644412c446973706c61792d4120000000400032002c0063006f006d00700061007400690062006c0065000000160000004e5644412c73656e736f722d706172656e7414000000400031002c006e0061006d0065000000120000004e5644412c446973706c61792d4212000000400032002c00720065006700000008000000000000021c0000006400650076006900630065005f0074007900700065000000100000004e5644412c4765466f72636520000000400031002c0063006f006d00700061007400690062006c00650000000e0000004e5644412c4e564d616326000000400032002c0023006100640072006500730073002d00630065006c006c007300000008000000000000010e0000006e0061006d00650000000f0000004e5644412c506172656e7422000000400031002c006400650076006900630065005f00740079007000650000000b000000646973706c617920000000400030002c0063006f006d00700061007400690062006c00650000000e0000004e5644412c4e564d6163220000005600520041004d002c0074006f00740061006c00730069007a0065000000080000000000003836000000400032002c00680077006300740072006c002d0070006100720061006d0073002d00760065007200730069006f006e000000080000000000000214000000400032002c006e0061006d00650000001100000073656e736f722d706172656e74</string> <key>SMUUID</key> <string>6EE16B4B-BA9B-343C-9913-8D46CA0FC2B6</string> </dict> </plist> Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/184318-snow-leopard-and-evga-gtx-295/page/7/#findComment-1629653 Share on other sites More sharing options...
