Slinger2g Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 The title say's it all. Yes, I have an X1300 using AGP instead of the so common Bus:PCI in system profiler. check out the screeny. :::NOTE::: You will have to edit IONameMatch with your chipset Dev/Pro ID's ~Sling P.S. This DOES NOT support PCI-E P.S.S. This should work with any AGP graphic's card.

Slinger2g Posted March 19, 2008 Author Share Posted March 19, 2008 Here are the Openmark benchmarks..... And a screenshot for proof. ~Sling P.S. This platform is an SSE2 build. :EDIT: Please merge the two post's into one and delete the earliest post.

Slice Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Here are the Openmark benchmarks..... And a screenshot for proof. ~Sling P.S. This platform is an SSE2 build. :EDIT: Please merge the two post's into one and delete the earliest post. Thank's Congratulations! It is really that I want to see. In your text result FPS=900 but on screenshot =400. I had the same effect until I change IOPCIFamily to my version (2.4.4). Now FPS don't drop down during screenshot. And many question: What versions of ATI drivers are you use? Additional drivers or replaces? What is your aperture address and size set by AppleI386PCI? Can you upload your ioreg (ioreg -l -x -w 2048)? Can you test, please, my AGPGart with the same aperture?

cyclonefr Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 doesnt work for me, kext loaded (moded info.plist) but same result under XBENCH here is the ioreg as usual PS: can some modo move this topic into the appropriate forum section : Graphic cards http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?act...mp;s=&f=151 applei386slinger.txt Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/92961-ati-radeon-x1300-using-agp-bussuccess/#findComment-677075 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slinger2g Posted March 22, 2008 Author Share Posted March 22, 2008 You need to edit IONameMatch with your PCI to PCI Bridge dev/ven ID's..... And use an AGP card!! ~Sling Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/92961-ati-radeon-x1300-using-agp-bussuccess/#findComment-677501 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclonefr Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 ive already done that slinger didnt u read what i said? my card is an X1600AGP. When using ur kext it is said to be AGP but no more performance see my ioreg make an xbench and post Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/92961-ati-radeon-x1300-using-agp-bussuccess/#findComment-677602 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slinger2g Posted March 22, 2008 Author Share Posted March 22, 2008 Ok, I will post an XBench benchmark. Here is the thing, when an AGP card is using the PCI bus in os x, there is only a fraction of a millisecond less performance than running on the AGP bus. Thus, there is no real physical change in performance. You might gain a few extra bench number's here or there, but nothing ungodly, as it does'nt take much away from AGP reverting to a PCI bus!!! The true reason for this driver is to allow a FULLY supported card to work and be properly recognized as to which bus it is working off of. Moreover, AGP will register as AGP, not PCI. It is a platform recognition driver, not IOAccelerator. It also has nothing to do with framebuffer's or anything OpenGL related whatsoever! By you telling me after installing the kext, your card is now working off the AGP bus, I am satisfied because the new kext is doing EXACTLY what it is ment to do. Show the correct bus. ~Sling P.S. I will post a benchmark, if you truely need me to, as soon as I get home tonight.

Slice Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Hi Sling! Did you see the post from Common Sense? http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...1308&st=254 It means that good working AGP driver can boost 4 times OpenGL graphics. It is not only bus tuning but also DMA translations of textures through GART table.

Madman_jp Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 not sure what you meant.....add a string under the ionamematch by editing the Applei386pci.kext ?

Slinger2g Posted April 3, 2008 Author Share Posted April 3, 2008 not sure what you meant.....add a string under the ionamematch by editing the Applei386pci.kext ? You need to do an ioreg in terminal and find what the pci io name match is for your PCI to PCI bridge.If you can't find it just post your ioreg dump in this thread and I will tell you what it is.~SlingHi Sling!Did you see the post from Common Sense?http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...1308&st=254It means that good working AGP driver can boost 4 times OpenGL graphics.

I am not aiming toward's direct programming value's as my only intent was to have the kext do what it is supposed to do.
