braca Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Hi guy's I've installed Mac OS, and then updated to 10.6.6, the problem is that I can't use my nVidia 8800GT properly, everything else is working (sound, lan, ...) For the graphic card, I've tried some kexts like NVenabler, and it helped, as I was able to change screen resolution, but I don't think that the system was using the graphic card properly, as playing any game was painfull, as it has a very very bad framerate... I just don't know what should I do, i've searched, but i don't know what I should use... My specs are: Motherboard: Asus P5K-R CPU: Q6600 I've installed my system, following this tutorial http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=213336 Thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/247448-nvidia-8800gt-on-mac-os-1066/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm editing with Final Cut Pro no problem You'll know if it works when you first go into OS X and get that cool intro video. I have full resolution up to 1920x1080!

Kucksy Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 You could save yourself the trouble and the headache and use the EFI string for your 8800 GT using EFIStudio (instead of installing other drivers for it) - I have done this and it works great. I end up getting a full 1366 x 768 on my 20 inch LED monitor. Hope this helps Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/247448-nvidia-8800gt-on-mac-os-1066/#findComment-1789284 Share on other sites More sharing options...
