GTX 460 + GT 220 problems to get it work :(

Hello,

 

since the GTX 460 is not supported I thought getting another cheap gpu might solve the problems.

I have read some threads about using multiple GPUs but I could not get it to work.

 

I Have an ASUS P5Q Deluxe (P45) Mainboard, which does not suppot PEG1/PEG2 Option in BIOS. So I put the GT 220 in my primary PCIe 16x Slot and the GTX460 in my secondary PCIe 8x slot.

 

For the installation I am using the iAtkos S3 release. If I am only using the GT 220 everything is working fine with either Chameleon and graphics enabled or an EFI String of an GTX 285 1024MB. I get my full resolution 1920x1080 and also QE enabled.

 

But as soon as I use both cards I can't get it to work. I either get a black screen (using nvenabler) or I get kernel panics. Does not matter if I only use an efi string for the gt 220 or also for the gtx 460.

 

Any ideas what I can do except pullig the power cord everytime from my GTX 460?

 

Kind regards,

 

Valmar

I had nearly the same problem with GT 220 and GTX 460.

I have the solution:

- install iAtkos S3 with your GT 220 inside, without any drivers

- start your hackintosh and boot up normally, it should work with full resolution

- install Combo Update 10.6.5, but don't restart after!

- install [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] with [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url], System Utilities and Chameleon RC5 (the second one of the three)

- download and install this: tonymacx86 Nvidia Update

- reboot, now it should work
