No GPU Power Managment

[MysticalOS]

skroutz999, 310 is build in driver, it won't work until you use the WEB driver, which is now at 334. There is an alternate workaround though if you really want to, that's to take the opencl lib from web driver and replace the one in 310 driver. that fixes power management in 310 actually. Although honestly it's just better to actually boot on 334, it's so much newer with no doubt other improvements to 780 and titan, and of course REQUIRED for titan black or 780TI.

Thank you for your help MysticalOS,
I installed the 334 driver but when I check from Nvidia Driver Manager to use this one instead of default driver it doesn't let me do a restart (Restart is grey and can't be clicked) and it uses the default again.I did a few restarts and tried to use the new one as default but the os doesn't let me..

Any thoughts?

I didn't disable nvidia drivers, I had them activated, updated to 10.9.3, after the reboot nvda manager said that there was a driver update -> I updated the nvda driver and everything worked.

I couldn't be more happy with the 660 in my hackintosh

Unfortunately in my case my gpu doesn't work properly...
As it seems the OS doesn't let me choose the nvidia web driver instead of default.
Is there any chance to find at least a modified info.plist that will help my gpu operate correctly?

 

[muelleimer98]

<string> nvda_drv=1</string>

 

[skroutz999]

Wow its working!!
Muelleimer98 ty for ur help m8!
As it seems power management with a few programs I have tested so far such as Photoshop, Preview etc is working great.
So is there any limitation to my gpu with this string?

 

[muelleimer98]

I'm happy that I could help!
No that string just tells chimera to boot with the nvda drivers. Full speed, in some programs a notch better, in others a noth worse performance, but nothing really mentionable.

I just updated to 10.9.3 and installed the nvidia web drivers linked a few pages back with the nvda_drv=1 kernel flag. Tested with the itunes visualizer, which was locking me in at the base clock, and it throttles up and idles back fine now. Finally not MAF about mavericks now. Thanks for the info everyone.

This made my night. I just gave the web drivers another shot, added the .plist command and it's actually working! Sweetness!

+1 Web drivers work for me, full power management! All I did was install the new web drivers, and in the menubar selected the web driver and restarted. Didn't change any boot flags.
