gurden Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Hi all, would really appreciate your assistance: I've installed Mavericks on a P5GC-MX MB using Myhack. Everything works great. I've used a DSDT file that i've extracted from windows prior to the installation of Mavericks. The only problem i'm unable to solve is the GPU being recognized as 8600GT. I have a EVGA GTX460 V2 installed. The system information indicates the following: Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT OpenGL Engine [EFI] I've tried to replace the kext, change the GraphicsEnabler to yes/no. nothing solves it. Attached, the "System information" Picture, A capture from an app i used called "System Info" that recognizes it correctly. Also attached, the DSDT and IORegistryExplorer info. Thanks a lot! Gurden.

Gringo Vermelho Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 It sounds like you may have a device properties string in your /Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist injecting your video card as a 8600 GT. I didn't look at your attachment but I believe "System Info" uses LSPCI, which explains why it recognises your GTX 460.

gurden Posted November 17, 2013 Author Share Posted November 17, 2013 Hi Guys, You were both SPOT ON! There was indeed a Device string that injected the information - Removed it and the card is recognized correctly! Now i've encountered a different problem: from what i've read, GTX card are natively supported under Mavericks so i set the GraphicsEnabler=no - I get a black screen but it seems the OS has fully loaded. Tried: npci=0x2000, PCIRootUID=0 - Didn't solve it. only GraphicsEnabler=yes starts correctly... any advice? Thanks again, Gurden.

Gringo Vermelho Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Partially correct. Your GTX 460 is a Fermi card. Only Kepler cards are natively supported, Fermi needs property injection in order for the nvidia drivers to load.

Other than that u can inject it through DSDT. I added it for u soo u can try with this dsdt and graphicsenabler=No DSDT.AML.zip Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/293982-nvidia-gtx-recognized-as-8600gt/#findComment-1969222 Share on other sites More sharing options...
