Intel GMA950


17 posts in this topic

Recommended Posts

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 bought my Gigabyte MoBo and everything works 100% Network, HD Audio, SATAII, IDE, Intel GMA950 (QE+CI) BUT

 

I can't change resolutions..... HOW DO I DO IT? I don't want the change the com.apple.Boot.plist file

You'll probably need to put you dev id to a certain kext (not sure which one exactly). I recommend that you just put the required resolution in the plist instead.

mount your OSX86 installer

 

System > Installation > Packages > Jas.10.4.8.GMA.950.Support.pkg to enable to change resolution..

You could try allocating more system memory into your GMA950 controller from the BIOS. Doesn't it take up to 128MB?

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?

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
