mitch_de Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 At least the pre Final SN Leo Graphics update made my VMare Fusion stall (Vmware Panic Opengl.... in log). Fusion didnt crash but must be killed. I will wait for Nvidia GPU + Vmware Fusion users until i install that, because non of my games (also Steam) worked much faster on my 8800GTX with the Pre Final update.

Godzillar Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 My EVGA GTX 285 is still not fully functioning after this graphics update :< Starcraft 2 and Portal are slowwwwww compared to Snow Leopard 10.6.3. My Build is Core i7 920 + GA-EX58-UD5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xforce Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Just a bit of information on this, it updates the Nvidia drivers to: 19.5.9f02 CUDA will prompt for an update with these drivers (if you have CUDA installed) but an update is not available as of yet. Just thought i'd share that info in case someone here needs CUDA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ameris_cyning Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 (edited) w00t Brought back native QE/CI for 4650 cards without 10.6.2 kexts Edit: Holy {censored}, OpenGL extension viewer show an increase of 100FPS on all 1.0-2.0 tests.

digital_dreamer Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 No QE/CI on my 4870 X2 after the update. Applying Netkas' Exotic patch for 10.6.4 doesn't help or hurt. May do a 10.6.4 combo update and revert to original setup. MAJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
