Zotac ZT 40603 10L Low Profile Geforce GT 430 1GB DDR3

edit: Sorry mods, wrong section. Could someone move this to Buying Advice?


Hi everyone, first post. I recently bought a Zotac GT 430 after seeing positive reception to the card's compatibility with SL. I chose the low profile version which is a little newer (40603 10L instead of 40605 I think?) and was wondering if this is going to cause any issues.

I ask because I've seen people mention that even if cards share the same chipset, they need to be from a certain vendor to work. Is a card variation within the vendor something I have to worry about? I'm hoping all the guides I've seen for the 430 are still relevant with this newer model.

Hey thanks for the response. Did it work OOB and if not what did you have to do to get it working? This guy says in 10.6.8 this chipset is supposed to only need the most recent nvidia drivers and graphicsenabler=no.

With all the googling I did the regular version seemed like it had full support. Kinda worried now. Does vendor matter or just chipset?

works with PCIRootUID=1 GraphicsEnabler=no at first boot. Got it fully working with dual monitors using latest nvidia drivers.

Now if only I could get sleep to work... in case anyone has any ideas my mobo is an MSI G41M P34
