godpunk Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Hello everyone- I was wondering if anyone here might be able to help remedy the problems I've been having trying to get my new GeForce 8600GT to work with my Mac Pro. After browsing these forums extensively, I've tried the following things: -Installed the MBP/.41 kexts from scottdangel.com -Installed the Leopard Graphics Update -Tried connecting my monitor to both the VGA and DVI ports -Repaired permissions My computer has all the most recent updates installed, has plenty of wattage to run the card, and runs pretty cool. So I'm wondering if this is just user error on my part, or if I will just have to wait until Apple and/or Nvidia releases official drivers. Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere; as I said, I browsed the forums a lot last night but may have missed something somewhere. Thanks in advance for any help!

godpunk Posted April 16, 2008 Author Share Posted April 16, 2008 Thanks for the info. Since the 8800 upgrades for the 1st Gen Mac Pros coincidentally came out yesterday, I'll just order one of those and return the 8600. Thanks again Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/99434-mac-pro-w-xfx-geforce-8600gt/#findComment-711297 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigboss Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 A little too late now anyways but its been proven possible to flash the standard 8800GT cards that you can get to run with the EFI drivers.
