Korrupted Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 I don't really have any problems with this card, but it shows this ugly OEM text on boot, which I'll screencap in a few minutes. Is there any way of disabling this text? It just adds unnecessary boot time to my iHack, and it's not like I'm going to randomly forget which card I have.

REVENGE Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 I have never heard of a video card displaying OEM text on boot. Yes, please screencap. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/32296-geforce-7900-gs/#findComment-226417 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallstreet Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 I suggest replacing your 7900GS with a 7900GT. They don't do that at POST. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/32296-geforce-7900-gs/#findComment-231125 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcfresh Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 hm, maybe thats not related to the graphics card itself, but to the BIOS of your pc reading the GPUs BIOS. I dont think that a graphics card itself is able to influence the boot process. But i may be wrong here. Its just that i think its kinda unusual.

HeroinHero Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 my 7600GS did that when i first installed it.. after that it seems that after restarting, my monitor did not even refresh quick enough to display that screen before it got to the POST.. seems normal to me.. edit.. I have a Asus board with phoenix bios Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/32296-geforce-7900-gs/#findComment-231161 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brokencomp.com Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Thats part of the BIOS during post. I have had 4 motherboards (2 Asus, 1 MSI, and 1 Gigabyte) of personal use (not to mention the ump-teen builds i have done) and they ALL do it. It maybe that your noticing recently, but as far as i know that the first test in the POST is to find the external video card, if applicable. The on-board video wont do this, i don't think.

consolation Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I think all cards have to do that, the question is wether the writing disappears before the monitor is able to display it.

elfdood Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 (edited) download a free program called "Nibitor" - this is a bios editor for nvidia cards, u could change the message to something a little more appealing Edited February 22, 2007 by elfdood Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/32296-geforce-7900-gs/#findComment-308873 Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqua-mac Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 My 7900 GS 256 displays this information, however my 7800 GTX 256 does not and also 7900 GTX 512 does not. However the 512 will not boot with Natit installed yet. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/32296-geforce-7900-gs/#findComment-309067 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sg Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 that message is in your cards firmware, only way to remove it is it find a modified firmware online or try to edit it yourself.
