b105 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 I upgraded my Core 2 Duo hackintosh to Catalina recently, but the GPU seems to no longer have acceleration. It's a Zotac GT 630, which I have verified to be based on the GK208 core. In 10.13, it worked OOB. In 10.14, it required InjectNvidia, but worked besides that. Now, regardless of the options I choose for InjectNvidia and FakeID, I still get no acceleration, even though system information says Metal is supported. Does anyone have a clue as to why this is happening? Attached are the EFI files for the machine.

b105 Posted October 13, 2019 Author Share Posted October 13, 2019 Are you sure about the patch being applicable to Kepler series cards? This looks like it's for cards that are Fermi and older.

b105 Posted October 13, 2019 Author Share Posted October 13, 2019 Coincidentally, I also have a Dell Vostro 200. I used the plist you linked, but still I have no acceleration. Thanks for your help.

PPCnostalgic Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 I have a GT630 video card but is a Fermi Family graphic processor (GF108), are you sure yours is a Kepler family?

b105 Posted October 13, 2019 Author Share Posted October 13, 2019 GPU-Z says GK208. There were versions of the 630 that were Fermi or Kepler.

b105 Posted October 14, 2019 Author Share Posted October 14, 2019 UPDATE: After reinstalling Catalina without using Catalina patcher, acceleration came back. I used the installer method in your Vostro 200 guide. Thanks for helping!
