My board has a different chip I believe (asmedia) I had it disabled in order to make installing the os easier but tried enabling it afterwards and it makes booting take forever (not sure how long since I thought it was taking too much time and gave up) The ALC892 seems to be working (hard to...

Hi guys, Long time casual lurker on the forum (not my first post but I've been absent for a while) I've just updated to high sierra (went from mountain lion to sierra, then couldn't get the audio to work on sierra) because when I first built my customac it had a GT 520 which worked out of the...

I've never even tested any mac os on laptops, but on pc's provided that the HW is compatible, it's just a matter of getting the machine to boot the SL DVD, using some form of bootloader disc, like iBoot, for instance. After that all you need are the proper kexts to make it boot from HDD

Geforce GT 520 working with QE/CI in Lion. :D Haven't tested Cuda yet. Didn't need to do anything besides using graphics enabler in the bootloader options. Only thing that required a bit of research was to get audio working again (was working in SL 10.6.8 whereas Graphics only had full...

So when you insert the Install disc it gets stuck at the apple logo, right? What version of iBoot are you using? try using the latest one (that has the 10.8.0 kernell) and it should work fine. I have the same MB as you have but I have a graphics card. the only way I can get to the installation...

Ok I tried to install the 10.6.8 combo update but it doesn't even finish... Before the update finishes I get "the death screen" (you need to restart your computer)... 10.6.7 combo was working fine, only issue I had was no full support because of the Nvidia 520 card I got in there. Any ideas...

If you partitioned the HD as GPT, there's a way to fix it without reinstalling the whole thing... but you need a place to copy your instalation. If you have another HD (external or internal) you can restore your instalation to that HD, then reformat your original HD as MBR then using disk...

did your format your HD with GUID Partition scheme? or is it as MBR? If your have another OS (windows) on your machine it can be a bit tricky to boot without doing a boot override on the BIOS and selecting the HD where you installed OS X. I had my HD formated as GPT and It wouldn't boot without...

Thanks. I've noticed the note and Wondered about the drivers even before I got the card detected properly. Perhaps if someone ported the linux drivers it could be solved. Or is that a little too far fetched? anyways thanks again for the info :thumbup:

Thanks for the reply, anyways. So the fact that my card is featured on the chimera detection list doesn't really change anything right?

Is there any way to enable QE/CI on a GeForce GT 520? System profiler identifies the card and VRAM, but the final cut pro installer says my system has 0 VRAM and no quartz extreme capable card. Anyone can shed some light on the subject? Thanks in advance :thumbup:

I was having trouble getting my card properly identified. Did you change your system configuration in multibeast? how does your machine show up? as a mac pro? I didnt read the post correctly, sorry. I got my card detected just by using graphics enabler option on multibeast.

Cheers guys, I got the same board but with a geforce GT 520. The best I could get as far as resolution was 1280x720. Have you tried setting the graphics mode in the boot plist inside de extra folder? Does system profiler recognize your graphics card properly? correct vram and everything?

I actually have an en 210 installed on another machine that works 100% but that's a Core 2 Duo 8800 3GHz and the MB is a Gigabyte EP43-3SL. But with this recent build I've got these little issues with the graphics resolution and no vram detection. besides that the only things I've noticed is...

Hi guys, Anyone tried using an Asus Nvidia GeForce GT 520? On my second build I can't get any better than 1280x720 resolution and there's no proper VRAM detection on system profiler... The device Id is shown there though and matches the one mentioned on the chimera list on the site. Any...
