gabrielbcn Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Has anyone tried new EFI v6 supporting 8800GTS/GTX? Sounds like a great breakthrough (thanks netkas, you're a genius) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
replicant Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 gabrielbcn, for your current implementation of your leopard setup with that 8800gts, do you have to use the dvi -> vga adapter? meaning do you HAVE to use vga with that card? i remember reading somewhere that it was necessary (at least in its current driver implementation), but i haven't seen enough info to confirm or deny that. thanks!

I've got the main monitor with a DVI connector and the second one with a DVI->VGA adapter... and the first one works perfectly without connecting the second. DVI has always worked flawlessly. It was the VGA one that used to have to be hotplugged before 0.1.4. Not anymore. So I'm pretty sure it works whatever you have. And there's still the new EFI to try! but I'm a bit lazy about that now that everything works ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koaxial Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 i just got myself an XFX 8800GTS 640MB XXX edition. tried the efi_v6.0 that supports gf8800gts and here's the result: deleted the natit.kext & nvinjet. so, i guess it's running with the native nvidia driver. txt & gfx look sharper & GUI is more responsive compared to the previous one. but looks like not running on the primary DVI (the one closes to the board). will do some further testing...

audrys Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 I need confirmation from developers that GTX 768MB cards working please. so far I read a few threads that were posted with the questions regarding GTX 768MB and no answers. can anyone please confirm. If I had this card installed I would just test myself, but I am about to check out from newegg with the GTX 768MB card and I need to be absolutely sure I am not wasting my money? I have Intel 955XBK MoBo, Intel CPU, and about to buy PNY GTX 768MB video card , Leo with efi v5 and ToH kernel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decilling Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Help me please! I installed this, v1.1 I made sure to check only my graphics card and the amd nvidia hotfix thing. My graphics card is a 8800 gts 320. I reboot and it works fine upto the part where it should log me in but instead i get a black screen with: darwin/BSD (dec-illing-computer.local) (console) login: so i type exit and hit enter then it starts to load up in the correct resolution (yay) with the normal login window, i type my password then hit log in and it comes up with a blue screen and the revolving (loading) dots then it goes back to the black screen with: darwin/BSD (dec-illing-computer.local) (console) login: so what do i do please help.

BebopBlues Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 I got an eVGA 8800 GTS 640M. in Leopard (BrazilMac's installed method), it only detects 256M for the 8800 GTS, is there a way to get it to recognize all 640M? Do I need to go the PC-EFI route in order for this to happen? Also, are there any negative side effects running it with 256M, besides less video memory?

TorqueX86 Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Quite happy with my new XFX 8800 GTS 640MB Alpha Dog Edition Sadly though, doesnt seem to be supported in EFI v8... Someone installed a "regular" GTS 640 with semi success (had to redetect monitors at each reboot) Can anyone shed some light on that?

rawmassen Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Would the native NVIDIA drivers be faster than the mac.nub NVinject? I can't see how they would, considering they were designed for 7300's or whatever they are. Anyone care to shed some light on the subject? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgirl Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 NVinject is not a driver, is more like an enabler to make NVidia Drivers (kexts) think you have a valid NVidia card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rawmassen Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 NVinject is not a driver, is more like an enabler to make NVidia Drivers (kexts) think you have a valid NVidia card. That was my initial assumption, until I saw the filesize - considerably bigger than some alternatives. I may try the 8800 640 bootloader and compare xbench results - and report back my findings of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xx66stangxx Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 quick question I downloaded the installer from http://www.macdotnub.info/downloads.php and when the installer came up I clicked on the Amd nforce fix and my graphics card memory 320mb and then I insall it. After I reboot I get a kernel panic. My system specs: amd 6000+x2, asus crosshair NVIDIA nForce 590 SLI MCP, evga 8800gts superclocked 320 mb video card. should I try not clicking on the nforce fix and just click on the 320 mb NVinject version?? -Stang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-aKy- Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 about the 8800 GTX 768 mb cards: i've installed NVinject for 768mb + AMD/NForce Fix, Card is listed as 8800 GTX in System Profiler, but i cant change resolutions, also i don't get QE/CI.

Tienneke Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Installed on Leopard with 8500GT 512 mb all it did was change Vram from 32mb to 768mb.. No changing resolution As I said, no support for other graphics card's, only 8800 GTS and GTX (in fact, only G80 cards, which leaves out some GTS's as well..) And sorry to say it like this, read the complete thread BEFORE asking questions which already have been answered... (oh yes, you installed wrong NVInject, should have installed the 512 MB kext.. you installed the kext for 768MB Vram kext..) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeybhoy Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 I have a 8800GTX (768Mb) and although I cannot change resolution, I do get full QE/CI. I used macdotnub's 10.4.10 installer disk which has the drivers on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chachawpi Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Intel E6850 Gigabyte P35-DS3P XFX 320MB 8800GTS (PVT80GGHD4) I was able to install from the ToH RC2 DVD without a hitch. I patched to 10.5.1 and then installed the AppleHDA inject to get my sound working. My onboard NIC worked out of the box. I have used this easy installer and am now able to change resolutions. Here is the output of my System Profiler. G80 GeForce 8800 GTS: Chipset Model: G80 GeForce 8800 GTS Type: Display Bus: PCIe PCIe Lane Width: x16 VRAM (Total): 320 MB Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de) Device ID: 0x0193 Revision ID: 0x00a2 ROM Revision: NVinject G80 series 0.0.10c Displays: Display Connector: Status: No display connected DPro 2070SB: Resolution: 1600 x 1200 @ 100 Hz Depth: 32-bit Color Core Image: Software Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Quartz Extreme: Not Supported Any idea how I can get QE/CI to work?

jackt283 Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 No word on res changing or extra display (without hot plug) for the G80 installer? Anyone working on this basic functionality. Really happy with the driver so far, though it's is just short of working fully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really happy with the driver so far, though it's is just short of working fully. Both are supported with NVinject, you should be able to make them work with the available metadriver.

weaksauce12 Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 I just wanted to report my success using a 320mb XFX 8800 GTS PCI Express video card. It works under NVinject 1.5 as well as using macdotnub's experimental installer (with 320mb selected). Machine specs are 24" Dell LCD, Intel Bad Axe 2 board, Q6600 quad proc, and 8 gigs of ram. Couldn't be happier! Thanks for the great thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
