jaysonturner Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Hi, I've recently installed 10.8 on an Intel Core 2 Duo, Gigabyte Motherboard. I've managed to get everything up and running besides hardware acceleration. I have a GeForce 6600 installed. I can boot fine using GraphicsEnabler=Yes in Chimera, but there appears to be no hardware acceleration (i.e. stuck at 1024x768x32 res.). To get the system to boot I had to remove all Intel and NV kexts from /System/Library/Extensions. I'd like to know: (1) Is this card supported by Chimera's GraphicsEnabler for HW Accel? (2) I understand NVEnabler had support for this card, I installed with an older version of [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] but has made no difference.. do I need to disable anything in Chimera? (3) Do I just need to modify the existing NV kexts? If so what's the method for doing so? Advice or links are welcome... Thanks!

jaysonturner Posted December 5, 2012 Author Share Posted December 5, 2012 Ok so for (2) (3) I have now tried these methods in the pinned post, to no avail. Can't for the life of me get QE/CI working.

Rampage Dev Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 GPU is not supported. I believe 10.6.8 32 bit mode only was the last that supported that card. The next gen was dropped after lion. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/284796-108-nvenabler-w-nvidia-geforce-6600/#findComment-1871330 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next gen was dropped after lion. Yea the last OSx86 build I had running was 10.5 which worked fine. Ah well. I have integrated Intel graphics on my MOBO, I'll give that a go. Thanks!

All support was drooped for your integrated GPU as well. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/284796-108-nvenabler-w-nvidia-geforce-6600/#findComment-1871335 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazubu Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Lion is the last OSX supporting NV40 family GPUs (on 6000 and 7000 series) in 32bit, and Lion beta can support them in 64bit. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/284796-108-nvenabler-w-nvidia-geforce-6600/#findComment-1919077 Share on other sites More sharing options...
