Diwad Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 holy fu**!!! I will test it in 30 mins!!! Tricky stuff: "The NVIDIA Quadro 4000 for Mac requires Mac OS X v10.6.5 to run, however because OS X v10.6.5 does not have native support for the Quadro 4000 for Mac, users must install this driver before installing the hardware." We already know what they meant in "Day you will never forget" Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/214219-fermigtx-480gtx-470/page/40/#findComment-1584787 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter R. Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 IMHO this only applies to a clean install. Since OSX does not have native Fermi support you wouldn't be able to install OSX. If you already have a working system (however badly it's working) this will not be an issue. The 4000, however, has a different hardware configuration than the 470. So it'll probably wreck my box, but hey, trying has it's own rewards !

Diwad Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 So I need to install the update and then without restarting install the driver, right?

I don't understand the logic how this mask is apllying but... It could be support for GTX470/480 out of the box. Can't test it because I am at work now.

kozlek Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 I don't understand - there is OFICIAL drivers with GF100HAL on nVidia site for Mac OS X 10.6.5. Why nobody wants to try it??

Jocelyn84 Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 YES! YES! YES! GTX460 works! with quartz! Yes, this does this trick! I installed with a GTX 260, updated to 10.6.5, applied new package, swapped out 260 for 480 and everything is working. No Vsync issues during video! I was seriously hours away from trading my 480 for a 5870.

rsilves Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Had a working 10.6.4 + 480 (with the known issues), Swapped to 4870, installed 10.6.5 (everything ok). Tried to install the official drivers, but when I reach the "Destination select" step, it shows a warning sign and says "You cannot install NVIDIA Drivers in this location. The NVIDIA Drivers installer does not allow this software to be installed here.". So I opened the package with Pacifist and installed it manually. Swapped to 480. 1024x768 only, no QE/CI,... Any idea? Thanks, Rodrigo Silvestri. EDIT: (Any previous file that I should delete or any step that I should "undo"? Like use the standard Chameleon bootloader instead of the one posted in this thread?) ///////////////// SOLVED. Needed to copy the kexts manually. The Install button from Pacifist didn't actually install anything.

Jocelyn84 Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 FWIW, I was only getting ~8 FPS on cinebench after applying this new package. I applied dOOd's fix aka changed AppleGraphicsPowerManagement.kext/Contents/Info.plist's MacPro4,1 section from Vendor10deDevice05e2 to Vendor10deDevice06c0 and I'm back to ~33 FPS. Post #1003 http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...771&st=1000 Its in the above post as well, but the list for other IDs can be found here. http://pastebin.com/ZR5RHRxU Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/214219-fermigtx-480gtx-470/page/40/#findComment-1584923 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jocelyn84 Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 M8, please explain, will it give me some more performance on my gtx470? Of course. If you don't make this change your card and every card will be running in level 0 low power mode, since 10.6.4 After making this change, your card runs in level 2 high power mode and temps will be lower. No offense, but did you even read the post? This has been common knowledge for over two months.

Diwad Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 I didn't read it ALL, sorry, but i was only subscribing this thread and I though that if nvidia gives drivers they are perfect and will run my card at full power.
