Thico Alves Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I guess that the 10.4.8 kernel comes with the Titan extension that enables some features on nvidia cards. Maybe because of this you're getting high framerates. Did you test you sistem with lower macos versions (like 10.4.6 or 10.4.7)?? It gaves the same result??

FYI The kernel does not "come" with extensions; you are confusing 2 very different parts of OS. Additionally macvidia ? titan; titan just tries to initialise the existing apple drivers.

Thico Alves Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 so I don't have any idea why OpenGL is working, because as far as I know macvidia 1.0.8 don't support it... and ok, kernel don't come with extensions, sorry, but maybe the 10.4.8 instalation the he have came with them to make it works... I don't know Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/34188-macvidia-opengl-working/#findComment-250460 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipguy Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 i'm finding it excruciatingly painful waiting for the macvidia drivers.. not taking anything away from the guys at macvidia at all.... if i knew of a cheap PCI (not PCIe or PCIx) card that was supported i'd go out and buy one !!!

SleeplessMedia Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Before I figured out that my kid's machine had a sse3 processor and switched it w/ mine, i was using the old kernel and macvidia drivers... however I dropped the titan kext into my extensions folder and got it to work in conjunction with macvidia... at boot it loaded both. Display was still handled by macvidia but got a noticeable improvement in display quality... now that i am running the new kernel w/ titan I have QE /CI enabled in addition to QE2D without problems... very crisp, vibrant display w/ shadows and transparencies fully enabled Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/34188-macvidia-opengl-working/#findComment-251076 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen Nvidia 6200 PCI cards in stores, here in the UK for £29gbp. Might be an option for you.
