I am not using any hacks, just a chameleon bootloader. I Downloaded/Installed the 15-16?/11/2010 drivers for the 4000 quadro cards from nvidia's website. I now have COMPLETELY Working QE/CI Performance is fast and all pixel shaders etc appear to be working! I have a 460GTX which was previously unsupported. That's a GF104 GPU!

Thats super duper great news!! Thanks for sharing!! :D

 

May i ask if you put any kexts or files into the Extra/Extension folder? Also was there any changes with the DSDT file? Or it's simply plug out the old card & put in the new one & install the drivers in safe mode?

 

Thanks again!! ;)

Wah.. I just discovered something weird. The graphics are working alright but..

If I got to "About this mac", "More Info..." and then "Graphics/Display"

it sais: Unknown nVidia card:

 

"Chipset Model: Unknown nVidia card

Type: GPU

Bus: PCIe

PCIe Lane Width: x16

VRAM (Total): 0 MB

Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de)

Device ID: 0x0e22

Revision ID: 0x00a1

Displays:

Display Connector:

Status: No Display Connected

Philips 190B5:

Resolution: 1280 x 1024 @ 60 Hz

Pixel Depth: 32-Bit Color (ARGB8888)

Main Display: Yes

Mirror: Off

Online: Yes

Rotation: Supported"

 

How do I fix this? And Does this affect the performance? of is it just cometic?

"VRAM total: 0 MB" does not sounds too good to me :S

Doesn´t look that good. You did a fresh reinstall? Try quartz extreme checker - i guess it will tell you, that graphics acceleration is not enabled. In that case it would effect your performance. How did you install that drivers? You upgraded to 10.6.5? Do you use custom kexts like nvinject, natit,...? If so - remove them.

I installed it using:

1. [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]-GE and a retail snow leopard DVD.

2. Installed Combo update 10.6.5 (didn't restart)

3. Used [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],

Advanced:

Audio: LegaceHDA:ALC889, HDAenabler:ALC889

Disc: JMicron36x SATA

Miscellaneous: USB 3.0 Support

Chameleon: Chameleon 2.0 RC5 r643

com.apple.boot.plist: 64-bit Apple Boot Screen

smbios.plist: MacPro3,1 (Auto-Detect CPU)

and lastly: I checked the "System Utility" Rebuild Repair

4. I installed the "tonymacx86 NVIDIA Update" (modified Retail Mac Driver 256.01.00f03)

5. reboot.

6. Added some Kernel flags to com.apple.boot.plist "Arch=i386 Busratio=22" and doas the Rebuild and Repair before I reboot once again.

I get stuck with a blue screen every time I change the resolution. But then I reboot and can successfully boot into the right resolution.

After reading all the posts above, did anyone actually tried installing the GTX 460 1GB into an existing SL sys w/o any issues? W/O any complicated steps at all?

 

I'm currently running 10.6.4 & is still skeptical about updating to 10.6.5 & also installing the new card w/o upsetting any apps performance.

 

cyberdrive: You running in 64bit mode?

Can someone/ Anyone Please report on how the performance are? Don't you forget that this is a community based on sharing and knowledge! Test opengl viewer, Cinebench. etc etc & report back!

 

 

And don't forget to test Adobe Premiere with CUDA Support for smooth editing without skipping frames =)

@cloverbay: Yes, 64bit mode. As i do have reinstalled my system that often because of some issues with my old GTO 7900 and a bunch of kexts installed. So a fresh install was my choice. I guess it should have worked because the card was able to display at low res (1024x768) from the beginning right after installation of iAtkos.

 

@daskog: Due to some sound issues with my ALC888 i don´t want to spend time on benchmarks yet. As soon as i got it back working playing my mp3´s i will continue on the benchmark-topic.

So far i can only say: QE/CI enabled

If you give me the links to the benchmark download it would be available a bit earlier -_-

My Palit 1 gb 460 was only being identified as an unknown nvida card with 64mb ram. Until I used the PciRoot=1 option. The option is case sensitive, so if you don't type it with the capital P and R it won't be recognized.

 

WoW for me crashed with the Lightbeams option set to anything other than basic and locked up the entire machine.

 

OpenGL Extensions Viewer stats were about 3100-3300 fps.

I have a GTX 460 here lying around and I was wondering if what performance impact would I see if I use it to replace my current 8400gs? I used it a while ago and I experienced "Chipset model = unknown", so I gave up and used my 8400gs. However, I don't see any Quartz extreme entry in the system profiler under graphics so I don't know if QE/CI is enabled for my 8400gs.

 

How would I know if I have QE/CI enabled for my 8400gs? I saw from a post (screenshot) above that it also doesn't have the QE entry in the system profiler. Help please.

GTX 460 got very bad performance with AppleGraphicsPowerManagement.kext

 

Tried to edit the AppleGraphicsPowerManagement.kext --> Info.plist

 

Added

 

under <smbios Mac model ID> for me i am using iMac11,1

 

i added "Vendor10deDevice0e22" for my GTX 460.

Performance increased from 5.x fps to 25.x fps on cinebrench.

Still want to know anyone got any idea on modifying AppleGraphicsPowerManagement.kext?
