530geek Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Hi guys, I am trying to get a 1080i resolution out of my otherwise perfectly working 9400GT. I have tried SwitchResX and DisplayConfigX, but is seems like there is a problem with the interlaced flag. I can get 720p (1280x720) with no problem, but for some reason, 1080i just does not seem to work. I have tried many things, including the timing setting that worked on my old MacMini, but I just don't seem to get a stable picture. Running 10.6.3, and I'm using the HDMI connector plus a VGA adapter to connect to my Sony rear projection TV. Any thoughts?

530geek Posted April 16, 2010 Author Share Posted April 16, 2010 Thanks! I should have mentioned that the card works properly (QE/CI supported) and with all kinds of different resolutions. I am using NVEnabler64 in E/E and nothing else. I am only having an issue getting the 1080i (interlaced) to work. Progressive resolutions (e.g. 720p) are working, and I can use SwichResX to fine tune the timing of those. I wish my stone age rear projection TV supported 1080p!

What did you do to get it working in the first place, any kext or what efi string, etc? What kind of card do you have brand/model. I am looking for 'the' 9400 card and of course I would start buying the right one.

I was looking for a low profile card and bought the EVGA 512-P3-N947-LR GeForce 9400 GT 512MB 64-bit DDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 Low Profile Ready Video Card (from Newegg.com). As described above, I only use the NVEnabler64 in /Extra/Extensions. The card works GREAT, but no 1080i, just 1080p.

frinchkin Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I have a box with a 9400gt (512) hooked up to my tv using a dvi to hdmi cable. Using the macnutty driver under 10.4 I get a picture on the tv with QE/CI, dual monitors, the whole bit. Unfortunately when booting from a separate HD on the same machine under snow I get the blank screen. I really want to use SL because it runs much faster especially with HD performance... On a monitor (dvi to dvi) it works (snow that is) using efi string although it's not recognized in profile, I know I have QE because I can run front row and get splashy thing for widgets. Like I said I plug it into the TV and get no luck. My tv has an RGB connection but I don't have one of those cables. I tried nvenabler64 but that didn't work either. I put in the correct device id's but couldn't get it to throw up a screen. Does anyone have a 9400gt working on SL at say, 720p to a TV via hdmi or dvi? If I remember correctly it's an evga card. TIA. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/214999-9400gt-512mb-how-do-i-get-a-1080i-resolution/#findComment-1564664 Share on other sites More sharing options...
