zenchicken Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Please feel free to delete this post if this issue has been resolved. I keep reading 512mb Nvidia cards do not work (or you have to flash them to work). Well, I have one that works nearly out of the box, just using Titan. It's a silent XFX 7300GT, 512mb Ram, on a 10.4.8 system that I just updated to 10.4.10 QE, CI, resolution change, everything. Just haven't tested dual monitor support. I would like to help towards support of 512mb cards if possible, so if there's anything I can do... Again, if this has been resolved, disregard this post.

Proteo Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Are 512 MB reported in System Profiler? Because I think what you have is a card that has 256 MB onboard and can use another bunch of the main system memory (this feature is called "Turbo Cache"). Unfortunately, these cards are frecuently advertised as "512 MB" cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecalasans Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Do I need to update to 10.4.10? There's no other way to 10.4.8? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EtherealRemnant Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Those 7300GT cards actually DO have 512MB of RAM on them. It doesn't really surprise me that it works though because of the 7300GT availability on the Mac Pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoopi Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Hi, I know we are moved in time, but I can't get my 7300GT card to work. Do you know if there are things changed? I have 10.5.6 and it hangs because of the NVDAResman.kext If I remove it or do an -x boot then it works, but still then also no resizing choices or QE etc. Do you have some more suggestions?

It works if you use add a device property string in your com.apple.Boot.plist file (aka EFI String method). This string can be created via the OSX86Tools (menu "Add EFI String").

Unfortunate, this was the first thing that I did try. It is even i there right now. Did also try several other settings. Do you have some other ideas? I did read about flashing the rom. The site where I did see it a long time ago, is disappeared. Is there somewhere else still info available? Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
