Tmarkr Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I have the Optiplex 755 , E6750 2.66Ghz, I have SL 10.6.8 running successfully. I can't find out a whole lot about the GPU other than it is Intel and built in Type: GPU Bus: Built-In VRAM (Total): 64 MB of Shared System Memory Vendor: Intel (0x8086) Device ID: 0x29b2 Revision ID: 0x0002 Kernel Extension Info: No Kext Loaded Are there Kexts that I can load to get QE/CI on this computer or is it not possible with this system? Is there away to get QE/CI working, ie possibly another graphics card?? thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/300482-built-in-gpu-on-optiplex-755/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tmarkr Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 I have a AMD B170 256mb PCI-E already, but I'm guessing it may not be enough??, plus I will have to get another monitor to use this card. I'll look into your recommendations thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/300482-built-in-gpu-on-optiplex-755/#findComment-2054918 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcai777 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 nah, the b170 is the HD 2400 Pro. You need HD 4xxx or newer for OS X. If you're in the US, get this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131338 Its most likely the cheapest GPU that works OOB with OS X 10.6+ 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/300482-built-in-gpu-on-optiplex-755/#findComment-2054920 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tmarkr Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 Now, will that give me QE/CI ability?? will there have to be something that I install or a kext?? definiteley like the price edit... I don't know if that will fit in my system, I ony have about 2 3/4" space for the connection, has to be low profile re-edit... research research research... just finding out that some of these low profile, ie the nvidia geoforce gt210, come with alternate mounting plates to fit in small places Thank you Thank you everyone, now to just keep an eye out for one at a good price Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/300482-built-in-gpu-on-optiplex-755/#findComment-2054921 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcai777 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Now, will that give me QE/CI ability?? will there have to be something that I install or a kext?? definiteley like the price Yes, it is OOB with AtiConfig=Eulemur I believe. Otherwise, a simple dev. id add will work for QE/CI. edit: yes, it is low profile ready Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/300482-built-in-gpu-on-optiplex-755/#findComment-2054924 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tmarkr Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 I missed the renaming the boot.plist I tried the update and it "crashed" the sustem, so I am in the process of reinstalling. Would the fact that I didn't rename the plist cause the crash?? once I am back up and running I will try again (posting from my imac) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/300482-built-in-gpu-on-optiplex-755/#findComment-2058161 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tmarkr Posted September 6, 2014 Author Share Posted September 6, 2014 so...

Tmarkr Posted September 6, 2014 Author Share Posted September 6, 2014 one thing is for sure... my system does not like to have thee bootloader updated, both times I have gotten a kernal panic and I couldn't start in safe or verbose. The second time I used Chameleon Wizard to try to update Chameleon and it did the same thing. I just want to get this new graphics card to do what its suppose to.

Why your not install OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2 I think the support Graphics for your card is native ?
