GTX 650 recognized as NVIDIA D14P1-30 issue

[kissandtellMAC74]

Hi everybody,

I've installed my brand ner GIGABYTE GTX 650 OC with GraphicsEnabler=No and it seems to work proprely (Novabench GPU score 655) in 10.8.2 with stock drivers + CUDA, but it is recognized as NVIDIA D14P1-30. It would be no problem at all if only it could let me enable the Mercury Playback Engine on Adobe Premiere (for real time effects playback). I tried to add the card in the cuda supported cards list both as GeForce GTX 650 and NVIDIA D14P1-30, but it didn't work. Any idea?

Tony and MacMan, please, could you tell me if the patch for GTX 670/680/690 in Multibeast could fix that or is it only for that cards? Can I give it a try or do I risk to compromise my otherwise working graphic acceleration?

Any word on this? I'm having the same problem. Google isn't much help here either.

In my case I have a Zotac Geforce GTX 650 and fix the problem by installing the drivers from Nvidia's website.
Now my card is properly recognized.

medina07,
Yes, that's the right solution, worked for me too, sorry I didn't follow the thread anymore

I'm having trouble locating these drivers. I could only find the cuda ones which I installed. Would you be so kind to provide a link? Thanks.

EDIT: After some digging around (during work hours) I found the following link.

Retail-304.00.05f02-macosx.dmg

I don't see GTX 650 supported though.

I did try to install it and up popped "Unsupported system: This computer will not support GeForce or Quadro Mac OS X edition cards.".

After more searching, I believe I'm supposed to change my System Definition to Mac Pro3,1 to get the drivers to install.

How to change the system definition ? : I think I need to use multibeast and just check/tick a Mac Pro 3,1 definition. I will try that and see what happens.

[SUCCESS] The geforce GTX 650 is now displayed correctly.

Alternative routes and fixes below for reference only :

EDIT 2 : After more digging, I found a post from Alfa147x :

Found a fix to this issue without having to change out which SMBIOS you are running.
Download Nvidia drivers and this: ""

1) Mount the downloaded DMG File
2) Right click on the package and click "Show Package Contents"
3) Inside the Contents folder you will see a Distribution.dist replace it with the one from the download.
4) Run package like normal

I will have to test when I get home.

EDIT 3 (for reference) : Found this post from lisapower to revert back to the original drivers if something goes wrong with the install :

To uninstall this driver and restore your original Mac OS X v10.8.2 driver, follow the steps below:

If for any reason you are unable to boot your system to the desktop and wish to restore your original Mac OS X v10.8.2 driver, you can also do so from “Single-User” mode:

STEP 1: Restart your Macintosh computer and hold down the “Command” (apple) key and the “s” key to boot into “Single User” mode.

STEP 2: When the system finishes loading to a command prompt, type the command “NVIDIARecovery” (no quotation marks), and hit the “Return” key.

STEP 3: The 304.00.05f02 driver will be uninstalled and your original Mac OS X v10.8.2 driver will be restored. The computer will then reboot automatically.

EDIT 4 (IF YOU EXPERIENCE RANDOM FREEZES): Posted by Dsynos80

Disable AppeGraphicsPowerManagement.kext in S/L/E. The only way i found to avoid random freezes,besides the VLC loop trick. I have renamed the kext to AppeGraphicsPowerManagement.kext.buk, and has become a folder(didnt want to delete it), its working, confirmed. Many hours idle after working with Premiere.

OR

Try MacPro3,1 system definition (taken from a post by MacMAn)

Same thing happened to me. But after using the link on Tonymac's site to the Nvidia site - I downloaded the Nvidia Geforce drivers for 10.8.2 - and wa la - it is now recognized as the Nvidia GeForce GTX 650.

I have the PNY Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 and here are my screenshots

Nice setup Kingdude1 !!! Yowza!

I see you drive a Samsung Syncmaster, think a 24" probably, at 1920x1200.
May I ask you with which cable? DVI-D to DVI-D, HDMI to DVI-D or a HDMI 1.4a cable?

Nice Avatar btw.... My kinda guy!

Have you gotten HDMI port working on this card?

You don't have to! Just Show Package Contents of .mpkg and search for Contents/Packages/webDriverPayload_jLhsf.pkg and run that one.

More important is that you clear kernelcaches first before properly can run with the GTX 650. I ended up with KP's just because it loaded kernel-cache with previous vidcard. Boot in single-user mode and deleted /System/Library/Caches/* and in ~/Library/Caches/* (/Users/yourname/Library/Caches/*) Or run some kind of clear-cache-utility.

I'm having this problem but I'm still a bit unclear on the process to fix it. I have a Gigabyte z77 wifi board and a EVGA GTX 650 2GB card. I'm currently running the card but it is identified as NVIDIA D14P1-30. I am using GraphicsEnabler=No. The HDMI doesn't work, but the DVI does. The performance sucks compared to even my old GTX 285 on Windoze.

Can someone please help a noob by telling me the steps to fix this? I'd like to avoid restoring from backup if it's avoidable.

I *think* the steps are:

1. Install the Retail-304.00.05f02.macosx.dmg drivers
2. Run kextutility with no arguments
3. Reboot and glory in the smoking speed of my newly invigorated hackintosh

If I've got this wrong, please straighten me out!
