A lot of people had a problem with their cards not throttling down after using certain apps. Might be an opencl issue. Nvidia web driver fixed this for me. Stock drivers would just lock me in at the base clock until reboot. Not a huge deal, but it keeps cooler with Nvidia drivers.
I have a z68xp-ud3 with the U1j UEFI bios running clover and yosemite. I also emailed EVGA and they sent me a UEFI vbios for my gtx 660. The uefi bios makes it boot really fast, and the uefi vbios makes it boot even faster and with native 1080p splash logo and clover interface.
The only issue I...
Thanks, Rickmywirry. Worked for me on 889. Was getting random reboots with no kp using iMac 12,2 on Yosemite and switching to MacPro 3,1 solved it but broke audio on wake. Now it all seems to work.
I had a problem where it would show the apple logo and the status bar would get about half way and then my screens would go black and it would restart. I ended up replacing the step in the clover guide where you make the clover usb with the instructions in the clover laptop thread. I lost my...
Updated with clover. Easiest update ever. Installed the new nvidia drivers and that's it. Didn't even need any boot flags. Also fixed a weird shrinkdb error I was getting with safari.
Yeah, I think it makes it a lot easier because you don't have to use a DSDT and you only have to click a few things in the BIOS and Multibeast to have a functional install.
If you don't have a windows drive on your rig, you can just upgrade using the q-flash feature on a gigabyte board with a...
I just updated to 10.9.3 and installed the nvidia web drivers linked a few pages back with the nvda_drv=1 kernel flag. Tested with the itunes visualizer, which was locking me in at the base clock, and it throttles up and idles back fine now. Finally not MAF about mavericks now. Thanks for the...
Congrats. I also just got the EVGA 660. Pretty great for the price. Works fine except for the power management bug in Mavericks.
I have the same board too, but I installed a 64gb msata instead and use it for the system drive. It's worked well for nearly 2 years and still going strong, but it...
I got mine to load by adding the 11c0 device id to the info.plist in the AGPM kext, but it doesn't fix whatever the bug is in Mavericks.
Here's the big thread on this: No GPU Power Management
If I run the Heaven benchmark, the gpu throttles up and goes back down when I close it. If I show the visualizer in iTunes, it locks in at the full base clock immediately and won't throttle down. Once it's locked in, I can run other apps and make mine go from the base clock of 1.04ghz to the...
