IMHO If you can't find mac drivers for the GPU It'll be a lot less hassle to switch it out to something supported...
and yes, the network card is a pain. see my earlier posts. I gave up on that and got a usb to ethernet from aliexpress :-)
This is a Dell Precision T5500 with
dual 2,66 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon
at 64bit
very happy with the results. should be easy to even upgrade to the slightly faster x5490 Xeons
sweet. ran Geekbench 3.
the multicore is quite nice for a 200eur machine (I got 2 at 100 eur each, and threw the processors and ram together)
Single-core score 2316
multi-core score 24992
the audio chip is this:
ADI1984A
and it works with this specific edited AppleHDA.kext, attached
without the voodooHDA pref pane.
I can even get 24 bit 192KHz output! that's a great DAC.
a little update:
i figured out that having the BCM5754D.kext inside:
/System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/
makes it work!
and I edited the plist like suggested in the first OP post
from where you can also download the kext
edit: ALTHOUGH... the strangest...

dont do nvidia injection in the unibeast 8.0 installer
maybe change your USB stick - I can't explain why but that seems to do the trick sometimes.
nv_disable=1 and nvda_drv=0
Hello!
first of all, thank you for writing up your guide, It has been a haven during my struggle of making my T5500 behave well.
QUESTION: do you have your video card in the PCI (upper) slot by any chance?
It seems my T5500 will comply best with the PCIRootUID=1 ....
although i'm...
update:
I tried to make it standard, verbose mode,
by configuring it like that with clover configurator.
even then I have to deselect and select it again at the clover boot screen!
ghost in the machine?
Hello!
I would like to share that I also have these problems:
messed up graphics in:
Mail,
Safari,
Desk Chat, (whatsapp client)
and a few more, I am sure...
details:
PCI express = first load (bios goes to my first gpu)
i have:
- GTX 760 2GB
- GTX Titan X 12GB
now the monitors need to be...
I think in this case the person also ended up reinstalling the multi beast boot loader or something, along with this realtek thing...
Basically just rerun multi beast with different settings, especially the legacy usb stuff... try out specifically for your system!
kind regards,
