Dr. Hurt Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Yes it does. This is actually the only graphics card that fully works without any patching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vipersfate Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Considering that the MacBook that I bought had the integrated GMA950 Graphics, I would hope it would work natively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zedzed Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 I have Intel 945GNTLKR mobo with the GMA 950 video on it. I have 64 megs ram allocated to the video card For some reason when watching Video - the video is not smooth - but a bit jittery. The computer is connected to a plasma with resolution of 1024x768 I watch TV using an EyeTV 500 with HDTV channels GMA 950 should be fast enough to handle this sort of video but on mine it seems not to be. Is there a way to optimize the video? I am running 10.4.9 and believe that I installed the video drivers properly. I have QE and CI working On XBench 1.3 Total score = 92 minimum CPU = 68 (Intel P4 641 @3.2 GHz) Quartz Graphics = 100 Open GL = 207 User Interface = 142 How do I get this working better without changing the CPU or adding another video card?

I recommend that you just put the required resolution in the plist instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could try allocating more system memory into your GMA950 controller from the BIOS. Doesn't it take up to 128MB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zedzed Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 I dont think that the 64 megs is the issue. Read - http://www.dansdata.com/gz014.htm 64 megs is way more than enough for a 1024x768 resolution. Am wondering if the ram is not fast enough for video processing Must be something else I went to the http://diabolik1605.com/ site but the only stuff I see is for ATI and NVidia cards I see the GMA900 patch - but not the 950 . Any direct link to the file mentioned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

four! Posted May 9, 2007 Author Share Posted May 9, 2007 Link to the file anyone...? Im still waiting. I've searched high and low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zedzed Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 I improved my video performance by changing my RAM from 533 speed to 667. I physically changed the ram - not just the settings. Also now dual channel. The GMA950 uses the onboard ram so getting faster ram helped my video performance. Weird thing is that my XBench score did not improve all that much I also would still like to get the file Jas.10.4.8.GMA.950.Support.pkg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
