(opengl 230 score xbench) now under 10.4.9 (a fresh install from jas 10.4.8) and upgrade with Ahmed Moawya method... the kext is natit..the one installed by jas dvd. i'm gone use titan kext that good work under 10.4.8 and test under 10.4.9. if you want i send you the 4 kext (titan, geforce, nvdresman, nvdanv40.kext) i'm sure it work perfect under 10.4.8. you say 4gig reconized 3gig.. what's your mobo ?

BlueFalcon7 Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 I have a 7900 GS, and it works fine in OS X. It appears to be a bit slow in grapher, but thats about it. I crank the poly level really high, and it goes about 20 FPS. Anywhere else, it goes really fast, but NVIDIA cards aren't known for Open GL performance. As for my driver, I'm using the one that came on the Jas 10.4.8 install disc, and it works like a charm. I will play games on it later. I cant get the internet working, because I cant get drivers for the "Marvell 88E1116" so no games for me.

ATI is known for terrible ogl performance. Just take a look at benchmakrs for linux.
