lemarqq Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Hello. I wanted to install Snow Leopard,but i found it a bit complicated,so i said i go with Leopard vers 10.5.2 (Maybe,if i'm lucky , i'll update it to Snow Leopard,if it's possible ) but for the moment i'm okay with what i have. Can someone explain it to me about installing the videocard driver ? Sound too,but i'm doing that after.. I have the Nvidia GTX 285. Soundcard is SB Creative Xtremegamer. Please,guys, give me a hand ,i'm really a n00b at this. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to install with another card then drop PC-EFI into the root of the drive. Let me know if you are still trying to figure it out or need help.

The Finale of Seem Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 snow leopard no problem with this driver: efi Actually, I do have problems with it and a GTX 285. WoW locks up after a couple of seconds every time with an EFI string for my card. However, simply adding "GraphicsEnable=Yes" to the boot.plist gives me full acceleration and WoW works wonderfully. Neither works with the new (non-default) OpenGL backend for WoW, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have the card yet, but I was planning on buying it so that I could use with all of the GPU accelerated features in Adobe Creative Suite 5. Has anyone been able to get this working flawlessly (sleep, all acceleration, dual monitors, etc) under SL 10.6.3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoob Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Does anyone have problems with the screen flickering depending on GPU load? I read it has something to do with power states, but I have no luck fixing this thing. Tried GraphicsEnabler=Yes, tried a few different EFI strings, two different cards. Running out of ideas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoob Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 No one else has flickering issues using a GTX285 on 10.6.3? I have the same problem that netkas is having in Windows: http://netkas.org/?p=442 Only my flickering is in SL 10.6.3, and I have no problems in Windows. If there is anyone out there who doesn't have flickering problems, could you please post your plist, and maybe dump your BIOS? I suspect it has something to do with the power management line.

I can help you with getting two running: First find the PCI Roots of each slot by booting up with only one card. gfxutil -f display Do that for each slot and write down the values. Then you can either use the EFI strings method, or DSDT method. I used the DSDT method to get two working: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...6771&st=658 Adding the third should be similar. As an aside, I'm hoping this DSDT method with the values from aschar1's post will resolve my flickering 285. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
