Shanems3 Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I read an article that the quadro 4500 is Very similar to the 7800gt, in windows you can use a program to change the dev id with software and install quadro drivers and roll with it.. the mac pro intel version has the option for the fx 4500 where would the quadro kext be found in the extensions folder? i want to see if i change the dev id to the 7800gt it will pick it up as a quadro and have all its functions.. i just need to know which kext it is located in.. I also found another article that says people have used the 7800gt with quadro drivers... just cant find a how to..

gotoh Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 there is no specific Quadro kext. They both use NVDAnv40HAL. If you want to get your 7800GT seen as a Quadro FX 4500, you can either flash it with a modded ROM, or edit NVDAResman binary (not info.plist file) and switch Quadro deviceID with GeForce 7800 deviceID. Anyway, this won't make any real difference in OS X.

Headrush69 Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 and i am at a dead in cant find a intel mac pro quadro rom..... all i can find is the pc based roms.. Check out aqua-mac and his web site. He has a large repository of video card BIOSes and helped me change my GeForce7900 into a Quadro.
