Hello all, I'm about 12 hours into working on my first hackintosh, having spent the past 4 trying to get my video card to perform well.

I have a PNY GTX 770 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814133499), and am seeing very slow rendering time and screen tearing (I can see the wallpaper render band by band as the computer boots, also, I can see band by band painting each time the Chrome Browser redraws a page.) I am able to get multiple monitors and 4k resolution, etc... It is just an issue of performance when programs try to use graphics acceleration.

Programs that twitch, tear and lag:
  • Initial boot, drawing of desktop
  • Google Chrome
  • App Store

Other programs seem to run well. I don't have any games or heavy graphics programs installed yet.

I have installed the new NVIDIA drivers for 10.10.1
Experimented with all combinations of grapihcsenabler and IPGEnabler

What else is left to try and which configuration files may be relevant?

cat /Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">

<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>No</string>
<key>IGPEnabler</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>kext-dev-mode=1</string>
<key>Legacy Logo</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>Timeout</key>
<string>2</string>

<string>01000000</string>
<key>UseKernelCache</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>HDAEnabler</key>

</dict>

Thanks in advance!

Hey Gabriel,

Thanks for the response. I have not made any headway. At this point I'm considering selling the card and buying another one, which I'm not looking forward to doing.

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated!

Thanks!

You need to actually activate the web driver by adding nvda_drv=1 in you boot flags. It's also best to deactivate your integrated graphics in the bios and have igpenabler to false.
