New Nvidia Driver`s For GTX 460/470/480 Card`s Official

[peppomcr]

jonnynogood You're probably going to have to wait until the 580's ID is integrated into a bootloader

So do we need a new version of iBoot with a new version of Chameleon?

New driver tested on GTX-470 - MSi-Twin-Frozer.

Ran the nvidia install
put in the card
booted and all is good.

Finally. Awesome!

FYi using Chameleon2.0 RC5 - Prerelease

rabbit.

edit/ The 470 feels much faster and better than my GTX-280 but in Cinibench:
GTX-470=25.55-FPS
GTX-280=29.32-FPS

weird.

does the 480 work with cuda? did you guys check that? does the 580?

if yes, then resolve should run like a charm, and i am going to invest!!!

Are you using Mac Pro 3,1 or 4,1? If you're using 4,1 have you edited your AppleGraphicsPowerManagement.kext/Contents/Info.plist's MacPro4,1 section so power states kick in correctly?

Resolve has to be instal on GTX 285 or quadro séries only

@kamaji:

what makes you think that? because it's in the official setup-pdf?

if yes, then i wouldnt be that sure. because officially there is als a minimal requirement mentioned of two graphic cards (one card only works too).

and the software will not check that, i am quite sure with that. one of their selling argument according to the ads: if you plug-in better graphic cards, your grading solution will grow too automatically...

if you have other arguments, please let me know. that would be a sad thing for me...

and, once again: i haven't found a gtx580 thread at insanelymac, and noone so far confirmed the gtx480 or 580 yet...

plz let me know!

me neither, some info in the 480 thread but its like 50 pages long

i think after this weekend there will be more info on these new cards once people go out to get them and try to make them work.
