kadak Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Hello! Is there any chance to get working Gigabyte NV 8400GS with TurboCache? iAtkos 10.6.3 Hardware Profiler recognizes the High Definition Audio Controller (this card equipped with HDMI out) but not GPU - "Error, Unknown Device". Model Name: GV-N84STC-512I, http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-p...spx?pid=3633#sp Or should i buy another GS8400 non-TC? http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-p...spx?pid=3115#sp ? I think that for the media-oriented PC, this 8400GS is more than enough. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/248221-nvidia-turbocache/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 nvidia cards with turbocache/shared memory are not supported. Sorry about that, I was wrong. The following statement is true though: Don't buy a 8400 card, they seem to cause trouble for many users. Try to find a 9500 GT instead.

kadak Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 In my Children's computer i have a 8400GS with no problem at all, 10.5.8 vanilla with old NVinject 0.2.1. http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-p...spx?pid=2915#sp The previously mentioned non-TC card looks similar, with added HDMI-out - what i need, so i ordered it already and should be delivered next week. In my Region (near Finland) i can't find 9500GT with built-in HDMI Audio Controller, with old style SPDIF connector - yes. Edit: NV8400GS non-TC worked for 10.6.3 and 10.6.6. Dev ID= 0x10de:06e4. Unfortunately, they send me not that card i was ordered, but older Revision 1.4 with no onboard HDAC and 2m HDMI cable included for free . NV8400GS TurboCache card has Dev ID = 0x10de:10c3, which on the list of supported graphics cards AnVal ACPI Loader ( http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=216726 ) and HDAC Dev ID = 0x10de:0be3. With W7 and even XMBC Dharma 10 standalone all was OK.

kadak Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 Actually, the NV8400GS with TurboCache even works, but only 1024x768 mode and no QE/CI support. After updating vanilla 10.6 to 10.6.7 and with NVEnabler resolution was 1280x800, no QE/CI. HDA Controller is lost both cases.
