mikeyd Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 bought a 8800GS from newegg, installed it in my Dell 530 with kalyway 10.5.2 + video update. No image. Then used NVinstaller (vanilla, 256mb) and it works fine, QE accelleration, correct memory noted (384, I think). pretty happy with it.

Did you get the XFX or eVGA one? (both are 384MB / 192-bit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeRaoul Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 bought a 8800GS from newegg, installed it in my Dell 530 with kalyway 10.5.2 + video update. No image. Then used NVinstaller (vanilla, 256mb) and it works fine, QE accelleration, correct memory noted (384, I think). pretty happy with it. Mike **UPDATE** Got mine today, and it works! I used NVinstaller v0.33 (w/NVinject 0.2.1) and selected the Vanilla / 256MB option. However, I am only seeing 256MB of the total 384MB recognized in System Profiler. Right now, this is no big deal, since the 8800GS has 96 stream processors @ 550+ MHz and shaders @ 1300+ MHz - there are not really any Mac OSX games out yet that need this level of graphics power. I got the EVGA GeForce 8800GS, which is the same as the XFX one except for the GPU clock being 30MHz slower and the RAM clock being 200MHz higher. I wanted the big fan design of the EVGA vs the smaller fan on the XFX one. Plus, I heard that EVGA used 1.0ns RAM where XFX used slower chips. Kalyway 10.5.1 plus NVinstaller v.33 (vanilla option) with EVGA 8800GS HW accelerated, CI/QE working, recognized as "unknown Nvidia" BOOSH!

Alexander Karlsson Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Does anyone know what needs to be done so that I can unse my XFX 8800gs on an amd system with nforce4???? Thanks Since I do not have Intel I do not think that I can choose the Vanilla option. /AlexThunder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
