How I got my GTX 470 to work in 10.6.8

1. Boot to Iboot 3.1.1 to install Snow Leopard
2. Use "PCIRootUID=1 -x" to get to installation screen
3. Install 10.6.8 Combo update (Do not reboot yet)
4. Install Multi Beast 3.8 with "Chameleon RC5" Checked
5. Install "tonymacx86 NVIDIA Update 2.1"
1010110101/tonymacx86-NVIDIA-Update-2.1.0.zip
6. Reboot
7. Install CUDA 4.0.19 driver for MAC

8. Reboot
9. Install Quadro Mac OS X Driver Release 256.02.25
http://www.nvidia.com/object/quadro-mac ... river.html
10. Reboot


Finally got my Graphics Acceleration and CUDA working after days of experimentation!!
I am also able to run in max resolution 1080p (1920x1080)
Hope it helps
Cheers

I have this motherboard and a GTX465. I followed this and it worked. The only thing that is stopping me from having a 100% stable rig is my logitech unifying usb receiver, when booting up it stops and it hangs. It works fine when plugged after bootup, but does anyone have this issue?

HI betojf,

Thanks for the info.

I looked on the nvidia web site for mac driver for my GeForce 9800 GT card but they don't exist, I looked at the drivers you used and my card does not come up in the supported products list either, if I use the drivers you are using could it stop my machine from booting up?

Edit: Also does anyone know how I can get the system info from my mac so I can post it on this forum, so someone in the know can see why my mac is running so slow, I am not sure but I think it could be something to do with the processor not running at full speed or it is something to do with the graphics card not using the 1GB memory on board of the card.

How far did you get with the install?
Were you able to install, update, etc... ?

Bump -

I'd like to know the specs with Lion as well, any users confirming the ASUS P6X58D-E board?

Thanks in advance.

Hello people, I have this board, can install and startup Lion, but I can't get my network going, it doesn't even show in the network preferences, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
