TinFoil209 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Hi all. While playing some 1080p footage I saw my processor (Q6600) just pegged 90-100%. On Win7 it barely goes above 15%. While system profiler shows the card as it should (QE & CI enabled detecting the right resolutions), I did it with Graphics Enabler. This was done and the only way I knew back in the 10.5 days. Now I see in Chamelon (on 2.0 RC5) I can run .rom files direct, etc. Please help, I am running without graphics enabler on and can tell a HUGE improvement on OS X speed! How can I get my processor back while still having full QE/CI running utilizing my older (yet still good) 8600GTS? Quick Info on my system: 10.6.7 Q6600 stock speed on a Asus P5W DH Deluxe 7GB DDR 800 (reporting correctly on sys profile) 8600GTS 256MB 1080p Insignia 32" via DVI to HDMI cable Thanks in advance!

TinFoil209 Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 Bump.... Anyone? I do a fair amount of final cut work and would really like something that takes full use of my video card hardware.. :/ TinFoil Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/253616-my-8600gts-has-been-software-accelerated-this-whole-time/#findComment-1663214 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Google 'guide for all nvidia boards'. If you're using GraphicsEnabler=y and get no acceleration, try setting PCIRoot=1 as well. Google it to learn what it means and why you should try it.
