lovetoby Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Hi, dont know why, but I'm a new user again 1. I've got a working nvidia dual card setup with my ga-p35-ds4 chipset, but now i had to switch to an ga-x58-ud3r chip... My problem, ive saved all roms from all nvidia cards to build proper nvcaps! I also got all pcie bus device pathes for each pcie sockel (the ga-x58-ud3r rev2.0 has 4 of it: 1. is nearest to cpu 1. 0x1 0x3 2. 0x1 0x5 3. 0x1 0x7 4. 0x1 0x9 So far i could build proper strings for each card and all cards(strings, plists) are working fine, if i only use one single card! I know there was a problem with gigabyte and the init of peg1 or peg2 when using dual card setups! You had to boot with bios settings: init peg2 (so peg2 is your primary card) I also tried to start from peg2(bios) this is socket 3 on hardware side! but my screens stay black! If i do a triple setup with bus 1 3 and 4 so on bios side this should be peg1 peg2 and peg8x2(peg4) only the card on bus3 is working (peg2) the strings are correct, maybe i have to do something with my dsdt file, i could not remember correctly ??? Is there someone out there who has a dual or even triple card setup with this board, or x58 or gigabyte boards in general? I also know that "theKing" has a triple setup but not with an x58 chip When it comes to my opinion ive got a problem with my gigabyte bios and or dsdt file and its bus adresses ?? Thx alot for helkping me Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/247850-problem-ga-x58a-ud3r-nvidia-gt220-gt210-gt8600-dual-triple-cards/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triple Nvidia Setup fully working via efi string in plist.... dont know what was causing me headaches... sometimes things go right if u let them do what they want Hi there! I am trying to setup my triple 9800GT cards on my Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD5 motherboard. I did try the triple card EFI string setup but somehow failed. Is this the correct way of doing it? What I mean is using EFI Studio and set three cards and then copy the hex values into the plist file and then set the bios and reboot? How did you do it?

SoundForSoul Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I tried with Strings, but no results yet, back to DSDT method. Gigabyte x58a-ud3r rev. 2 with FF bios version, with Snow Leopard 10.6.8 I've been trying to install two graphic cards: a Gigabyte 8600 GT(256 mb) and a Gainward 9500 GT (1GB), and I got in the point where the I've put the 9500 GT in the 2nd PCI-X 16x slot, and the 8600 GT in the 4th PCI-X (8x) slot ( that was the easiest for me, as I have a moded G5 case, with the bios setting "PCI init dislpay set to PCI-X 8 ( 2 ), which is the slot that the 8600 Gt is mounted on . After selecting the partition that I want to boot from, the apple logo appears, with the white background, but without that spinning thingie, and, after few seconds, only the 2 monitors connected to the 8600 Gt are ligthing up. With the attached DSDT, both of the video card appear in the Graphic/Displays, the 8600 GT isperfectly working (at highest resolution ( 2560 x 1500 )), but the 9500 GT is not working (it is recognized, but has no outputs, even though I have two monitors plugged in its outputs). I have attached the dsdt. In the system – library – extensions – should I delete: " NVDANV40HAL.kext, NVDANVs0HAL.kext. , NVDARESMAN.kext and NVSMU.kext when using dsdt ? Are those injectors? I have edited the org.Chameleon.boot.plist in the \extra folder so that no strings or grahics enabler appears, i did that in the System configuration folder's boot.plist, too . Should I try to switch the position of the GFX Cards and put the 8600 GT in the second 16 pci-x instead of the 8x one or should I try to further edit the dsdt file, since both gfx cards appear to be in the 1st pci slot, in the Graphics/Display, section? Do you have any idea how to solve that ? I am willing to pay for somebody to help me, I have already lost 3 days of trying… If someone could recommend me a 4 output or at least 2 gfx that will work for sure with my setup, I could buy them. Thank you so much in advance! dsdt+png.rar Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/247850-problem-ga-x58a-ud3r-nvidia-gt220-gt210-gt8600-dual-triple-cards/#findComment-1782459 Share on other sites More sharing options...
