GTX 660 Ti: Supported or not! (OpenGL error when on wake from sleep)
Updates in the third post http://www.tonymacx86.com/graphics/...-opengl-error-when-wake-sleep.html#post465418
Okay, this card mentioned as supported graphics card in the CustoMac 2012 post, and according to recent post by tonymac, 10.8.2 has full support for it in addition to some other nvidia cards, and there are some lucky users have it without problems, BUT it looks like the majority of us have problems with this card, to be exact 1) FCPX issues, 2) Wake from sleep issues.
I'm not software developer to be able to develop or patch a kext to get it to work, I even don't know what the error that I get in console when I try to wake my system from sleep ...
So, I need some help from tonymac, MacMan or any professional to know what's happen. Is it something wrong I do (actually, we do, as I'm not the only one with these issues)? or There is possible fix in the near futur? I need to decide whither I should keep this card an wait for a solution, or just try to resell it with lose! (I have no option to return the card and get something else, this is not available in my country unfortunately).
This card gave me a lot of frustration, my old HD 5770 was rock solid in terms of stability, although it was need GE=Yes i.e not 100% natively supported as the 660 Ti is.
FYI:
I'm using GE=No with my 660 Ti
- Tried it with running 10.8.1, just changed GE form Yes to No and installed OpenCL patch from MB 5.0.2.
- Tried it with fresh 10.8.2 (10.8 then updated with 10.8.2 combo) + OpenCL patch from MB 5.0.2.
- Tried it with fresh 10.8.2 (10.8 then updated with 10.8.2 combo) + the new Nvidia drivers fro 10.8.2. (tonymac mentioned that it doesn't need patched kexts anymore in 10.8.2 to enable OpenCL)
- Tried it with fresh 10.8.1 (10.8 then updated with 10.8.1) + OpenCL patch from MB 5.0.2.
With ALL these combinations I have the same issue, monitor doesn't get signal after wake from sleep, the system wakes but the monitor is black! And I found the error above in the console after a manual reboot, some times single error, other time multiple errors (but the same), for example ...
and here is my org.chameleon.Boot.plist setting..
If I got a good deal on the 660 Ti I will sell it immediately, in the other hand I will never sell the 5770 even if I got double-price deal!
What do you think guys? please advice, a possible near solution, or re-selling the card and lose $$ then add more $$ to get 670 for example!
P.S I really appreciate your hard work, there wouldn't be a Hackintosh without YOU.
