indiekiduk Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I thought ATI x1600 cards work with no modification to the apple drivers? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/23793-nvidia-on-macpro/#findComment-157892 Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandmanfvrga Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Yes the X1600 works perfectly (well almost). Â There were Nvidia cards in the PowerMac G5's and you couldn't download any drivers, so maybe not.

Superhai Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I guess the drivers will be part of the firmware. As it seem they are using specially designed cards.

macgirl Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 There were Nvidia cards in the PowerMac G5's and you couldn't download any drivers, so maybe not. You didn't need to download those drivers because they already in Mac OS, but they are PPC only, lest see if the next update it will have the x86 drivers.

CrazyPigeon Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I was just going to start a topic on this, man would it rule so hard to not have to use this cheapy ATI card anymore! I hope if the driver works, that it has dual monitor support.....*Drools* Oh, Sorry. *Mops up huge pile of drool* Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/23793-nvidia-on-macpro/#findComment-158095 Share on other sites More sharing options...
indiekiduk Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 yep so fingers crossed for next update to have intel drivers Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/23793-nvidia-on-macpro/#findComment-158109 Share on other sites More sharing options...
enb14 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 There's two new Nvidia video cards supported: Â - NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 Â - Geforce 7300 Â So now the question is which other will be supported in our hackintosh? Â I don't know if the 7300 is based on 7800 or 7900 just remember that even _np had problems with 7900 video cards so I hope the 7300 be part of 7900 or maybe the FX 4500.

bofors Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 yep so fingers crossed for next update to have intel drivers  Are the Mac Pro's shipping with 10.4.8 or what?  I guess the drivers will be part of the firmware. As it seem they are using specially designed cards.  Yes, but these are DXE drivers not OS drivers.  Keep in mind that DXE drivers are not OS drivers. While an OS driver has to exploit the full capability of the hardware and make it available to applications, DXE drivers are single threaded and simply have to support those features that are needed to boot the OS or set up and manage the platform.  http://www.intel.com/cd/ids/developer/asmo...8649.htm?page=3 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/23793-nvidia-on-macpro/#findComment-158182 Share on other sites More sharing options...
capran Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I'm so excited! But I'll temper that with restraint until someone like np_ weighs in and we know more about the Mac Pro, it's video cards, and this driver. Â Who knows, but Apple could gimp the Mac Pro and/or drivers by making them specific to the Mac Pro! I hope not, but it's possible. Â Here's to hoping for real 100% functional Nvidia drivers SOON!

Superhai Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Are the Mac Pro's shipping with 10.4.8 or what?Yes, but these are DXE drivers not OS drivers. Â True, but as you might know, the card is initialized by the efi, and taken over by the OS. But maybe the nvidia driver will have more control over the hardware than the ati one.

poofyhairguy Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 This is great. I must have a low profile card for my case, and 7300's are easier to find than x1600's that are like that.

Wayland Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Peops, what is now, is the 7300GT working or not??!! I will buy one but want to know first.. Nope.... turns out that the driver was not the only thing they need. Some claim they need the 10.4.7 kernel to be cracked... Others claim that you need EFI emulation first. In other words... not yet.
