aatrox Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Long story short - managed to install OS X, but can't get my card to work like it should. Everything is laggy and it's impossible to work on a PC like that. I can boot up and login, but it's waste of my time. I tried multiple drivers and fixes - nothing is working for me. Does anyone has a solution for this? More info on this - AMD FX processor, Graphics NVIDIA Chip model 7 MB (in the system shows that), MacPro 4,1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/308608-yosemite-10101-gtx-960-drivers-not-working/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

aatrox Posted October 10, 2015 Author Share Posted October 10, 2015 nvda_drv=1 Haha I tried that multiple times - not working. Still get that text that I posted a photo. I tried npci=0x2000 and 3000 nothing, GraphicsEnabler=No still nothing. I said, I tried many things, but I guess not the right one. Any other possible trick?

Shaneee Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Installation failed. It's not my version. How can I use custom kernel? I use TransMac to make bootable USB. You have Windows on the same PC? If so then run the 10.10.5 update then switch into Windows and replace the kernel with TransMac in System/Library/Kernels/ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/308608-yosemite-10101-gtx-960-drivers-not-working/#findComment-2176177 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just downloading the update. That's img. Do I need to boot that up or can I open it normally? And sorry, don't really understand. I boot that onto my USB and then just add those extra files and switch them?

Shaneee Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Open the update on the machine your having problems with and install as a normal pkg. Once its installed you need to access that HDD with your Macbook or Windows and replace the kernel and fingers crossed it should boot.

I tried putting Linux on USB and then switching out the files, but everything is read only. And yeah, can't boot at all now.

I'll try tomorrow and then if nothing, I'll go back to linux. How do I make bootable USB from DMG file on Mac? What bootloader should I use? How can I switch kernels?
