Common Sense Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Hi! I would like to hear from you that have 8800 GT and that knows how to get it 100% working. Currently mine works perfectly (it has all the features working, QE/CE + res change) except for some rahter sluggish performace in UI and games. What kexts did you install? Version of NVinject or PC-EFI? etc. All details would be greatly apreciated so I can replicate your working setup. For you Intel users how do 8800 GT work for you? Im wondering if this might be an nforce4 issue (with the pci-e bus). How is the card performing on a real mac? The card is not performing awful but it lags when minimizing windows and just generally feels like a little delay when pressing something. Games are very playble but they feel a little choppy. When looking around you in an fps game it feels like its not smooth. Im currently using the NVinstaller 0.41 and PC-EFI gfx string. Have tried NViject as well but it gives the same result. My hardware: Albatron 8800 GT 512 mb MSI nf4-fi Opteron 144 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Common Sense Posted March 23, 2008 Author Share Posted March 23, 2008 Can you please try to CHANGE your DVI port ? Yeah i'm pissed off, it's been like 50 times I actually type this comment. I'm already using the correct DVI port (the one closest to the motherboard). As I said the card works with QE/CI + res change so its fully working. The performace just seams to be a little bit lagging which can be pretty annoying. Did you even read the post? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclonefr Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Yeah I read the post but you didn't state whether or not you used the correct DVI port, even though you could change the resolution, i wasn't sure. So yeah, must be a nforce problem. Is your card running in PCIe 16x in system profiler ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Common Sense Posted March 23, 2008 Author Share Posted March 23, 2008 It must be your nForce4 problem, I use NVinstall .41 and everything runs smoothly with my 8800GT.Thanks for the reply. i suspected this to be the case.Yeah I read the post but you didn't state whether or not you used the correct DVI port, even though you could change the resolution, i wasn't sure.So yeah, must be a nforce problem. Is your card running in PCIe 16x in system profiler ?Its running PCIe 16x. I guess im going to try with chun-nans IOPCIFamily and see if it will fix the problem. Thanls for the help!

Common Sense Posted March 23, 2008 Author Share Posted March 23, 2008 It might be your power supply too, did u feed ur 8800GT with enough power ^^? My PS is 630 watt and im only running with 2 harddrives and a dvd writer. So I dont really think its to weak. Besides I get perfect performance in Windows. Or what do you think is it to weak for my setup? I doubt it though. Opteron 144 GeForce 8800 GT 2 harddrives 1 dvd writer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
