JorgeMenderp Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I was hoping someone could help me out with an issue. I've got Yosemite running fine on my PC now, however the graphics are quite bad. There's extremely slow redraw, and sub HD resolution. About this Mac was listing my card(ASUS GTX 760 2GB) as having only 3mb VRAM. I've tried using GraphicsEnabler as a flag, as well as nvda_drv=1, I've installed the CUDA drivers, as well as the Retail drivers, which I'll include a link to at the end. Still, nothing has changed, except About this Mac now lists a GTX 760 with 0mb of VRAM. This is the last step to me getting my Hackintosh running beautifully. Help is appreciated. Specs if needed: CPU: AMD FX-6300 MoBo: Gigabyte 970A-D3 FD Graphics: ASUS GTX 760 2GB Installed on a Sandisk SSD Dual-booted with Windows Link to drivers:http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/80070/en-us Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/304818-gtx-760-3mb-vram/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew.j.aguirre Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 You shouldn't need the CUDA drivers. I have it working perfectly here. Here's what I have in Clover: npci=0x2000 kext-dev-mode=1 nvda-drv=1 uncheck any Injections (may conflict) Any of those appear to be different? 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/304818-gtx-760-3mb-vram/#findComment-2115554 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JorgeMenderp Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 I was using 0x3000 instead of 0x2000. That seems to have been the factor. Now, you've given me both a blessing and a curse. While everything looks great now, and Mac reports it as a GTX 760 with the 2GB of VRAM, any attempts to open a Finder window are met with a small lockup, and then a message stating "A graphics problem has been detected", and Finder remains unopened. Everything else works great, except the one thing the system needs. Any advice?

fantomas Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 hi You shouldn't need the CUDA drivers. I have it working perfectly here. Here's what I have in Clover: nvda-drv=1 firstly, it's nvda_drv=1 and you need this flag only if you boot with Web drivers secondly... CUDA drivers have nothing to do with his problem... maybe you meant Nvidia Web Driver?

JorgeMenderp Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 Well, now I'm really screwed. I tried removing the nvda_drv=1 as per fantomas1, but that only led me back to the horrible graphics quality from before, with an odd red line across the top of the login screen. After re-enabling nvda_drv=1, everything looks fine, but the graphics error now appears as soon as I type in my password, and prevents me from logging in. Just a perpetually spinning beachball.

Rampage Dev Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 You are going to have to do a clean retail install for your system to have a chance to have this configuration to work properly.

JorgeMenderp Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 You are going to have to do a clean retail install for your system to have a chance to have this configuration to work properly. Any advice on how to go about doing that with an AMD FX processor? I had some difficulties getting to the installer last time through a retail installation.

Rampage Dev Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Start with 10.9.5 for learning purposes. Make a clover installer as per my guide in my signature. Use the haswell config and add npci=0x2000 to the boot args. Then put theodded kernel and kexts in the kext folder in clover as needed and boot.
