ifrit05 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Open Dashboard and add a widget, it should make a ripple effect (like waves). Or, open System Profiler and click on PCI Cards, and under your card, look for "Driver Installed".

No ripple in dashboard and nothing in "pci cards" even with chameleon graphics enabler i never saw the ripple effects... any advice???

I am on a 460 and I don't get a ripple effect in dashboard either. However, I get 29 fps in cinebench open gl test, so I am not sure if mine is enabled or not. Also, I can play TF2 for a little bit, but usually my card will freeze.

Dradis Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 uncheck show dashboard as a space in mission control and you get the ripple effect Thanks for the tip. The only thing I ever use dashboard for is to check the status of my video card by looking for the ripple. haha.
