Problems installing 8800GT 512Mb on SL 10.6


5 posts in this topic

Recommended Posts

Just Installed Snow Lepoard 10.6 on my new system I built

Specs:

Asus P6T (Non Deluxe)

i7 920

12 Gigs Patriot Ram

BlueRay Optical Drive

BFG 8800GT OC(overclocked) 512mb

 

I cannot get the video card to read properly and work with dual Monitors.

The only resolution support I have is 1024x768

 

I tried to use EFI Studio to add the display

I tried osx86 Tools

 

Anything I could be overseeing? or Try another Method?

 

Also for some reason it says the cards an ATI 4870 in the About this Computer.

 

Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

I've also been fighting with my 8800 GT 512 (0x10de0611) in SL.

I have tried NVinject, x-darwin, EFI strings (which did put the correct info about my card into the system profile, but still wouldn't give me hardware acceleration or that quartz thing) and NVKush.

 

I'm quite a noob to hackintosh, so these kexts are a little confusing and i am finding it hard to find information about what exact methods people are using to get their cards to work properly...

 

Did you manage to get your card working, if so, what method did you end up using?

 

Thanks

 

p.s, anyone else have a method they can suggest for getting the 8800 GT 512 (0x10de0611) working?

I have manged to get a system running Mac OSX Snow Leopard iAtkos S3 10.6.3 Ver.2

 

Everything is working great apart from the Graphics but i only have a 7100 in it now and im aiming to play World of Warcraft with it plus HD Video Editing. I have a 8800GT 512MB laying around from my last upgrade how easy woult this be to install and with the spec of this system should it handle what i want to do with it

 

 

Intel E6300

 

2GB DDR2 800Mhz
