    UniBeast: Install OS X Yosemite on Any Supported Intel-based PC

    I have a Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UP5-TH Z77 Motherboard and GIGABYTE GTX 770 Video Card. Tried to update to Yosemite following all instructions, fail again and again on "system uptime...". Finally figured out the problem: I had also installed an HP NC360T dual gigabit ethernet board. Using AppleIntel...

    4K Monitor Support in OS X 10.9.3 - Testing Thread

    I left the machine on over the weekend, came in this morning and no more flickering. Weird. I'm going to try another DP cable just in case, apparently some are not really certified for DP 1.2, but mine (gold plated "Cable Matters" 10 feet long) said it was. On a related note, many users who...

    4K Monitor Support in OS X 10.9.3 - Testing Thread

    Yes, see my posts here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/articles/132459-article-os-x-10-9-3-update-4.html#post810947 and here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/articles/132459-article-os-x-10-9-3-update-24.html#post812273 Strange that Apple doesn't mention the Samsung monitor, which is the least...

    OS X 10.9.3 Update

    Article: OS X 10.9.3 Update Here is a screen shot of Display Menu. Not sure if a screen shot, or even a photo, would convey the increase in sharpness though. The dark text on white boxes are all "pixel doubled" modes. I had no problems with my setup, but I have only one monitor. I have...

    OS X 10.9.3 Update

    Woo-hoo! OS X 10.9.3 has turned my Samsung U28D590 into a retina display! On the down side, I'm getting some occasional flickering at that res, but I can live with that. I'm using the app store "Display Menu", which I recommend to anyone wanting to experiment with different resolutions...

    4K monitors, anyone?

    Woo-hoo! OS X 10.9.3 is out now, and it's turned my Samsung U28D590 into a retina display! On the down side, I'm getting some occasional flickering at that res, but I can live with that. I'm using the app store "Display Menu", which I recommend to anyone wanting to experiment with...

    Reminder: NVIDIA GeForce 6xx/7xx Kepler Cards work with GraphicsEnabler=No

    This is my kernel flags: <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>-v darkwake=0 GraphicsEnabler=No</string> I have a GTX 770 in Gigabyte board Z77 board, works great. One thing I had to do was change the video card from "Auto" to "Gen3" in the BIOS. I forgot where that is located but it took 2-3...

    4K monitors, anyone?

    I haven't got an install of Windows on my rig (I use Parallels occasionally). The graphics card is a 4GB GTX 770, I would think that would be pretty beefy, but maybe not. I have read elsewhere that full "retina display" (pixel doubled) support is coming with Mavericks 10.9.3, so I guess I'll...

    4K monitors, anyone?

    I'm interested in trying out a 4K monitor. I can't figure why the huge difference in price between the Samsung 28-Inch Ultra High Definition LED Monitor (U28D590D) for $700, and the 32-Inch $3200 Sharp PN-K321. They are both 3,840 x 2,160 pixels. The Sharp has 2 display ports and one HDMI, the...

    Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD7-TH - Thunderbolt 2.0 Testing

    I just had a look at the manual and it appears that they eliminated the IEEE 1394a connector (firewire) that is on my Z77 board. Anyway, you can use a PCIe card. I can't find any recommendations on RME's site, but there is some info here...

    Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD7-TH - Thunderbolt 2.0 Testing

    This is an 1150 socket board. 49xx series are 2011 socket, so not supported on this board. Looks like thunderbolt support for this board is still in question. That may be actually because TB 2.0 uses a different addressing scheme, so some devices may not be compatible or require firmware...

    Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD7-TH - Thunderbolt 2.0 Testing

    The Z87 is a Haswell (1150 socket) board and so I could use the faster 4770K CPU. Also it supports 6 x 6g SATA, my Z77 board only has 2 x 6g SATA channels. Also it supports faster RAM, up to 3000 mhz I think. So it would be a very nice upgrade. Gigabyte also sells an 1150 socket board with TB...

    Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD7-TH - Thunderbolt 2.0 Testing

    I currently have the Z77 thunderbolt mobo, which I'm using with a UA "Apollo" interface with thunderbolt. I would buy this new board in a flash if I thought it would work with the Apollo. But UA has said that the Apollo will not be compatible with the new Mac Pro's until a firmware update...

    Reminder: NVIDIA GeForce 6xx/7xx Kepler Cards work with GraphicsEnabler=No

    I have a Gigabyte board (GA-Z77X-UP5-TH). When I upgraded from a GTX 670 card to a GTX 770 card, the machine would seem to hang before the post screen. Eventually I found out it wasn't really hanging, it was just taking over 2-3 minutes to post. What fixed it was changing the video card setting...

    OS X 10.9.1 Update

    Article: OS X 10.9.1 Update That's been happening to me from 10.9 on. Periodically it says they need to be updated, then it changes it's mind after a restart.

    Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD5-TH Now Available - Dual Thunderbolt 1.0 ports

    I have the older version and it works great with my UA Apollo interface with thunderbolt - with one caveat - I have to shut down everything, then turn on the Apollo, then turn on the computer, otherwise the Apollo driver crashes. However, my question is: I haven't got a lot of experience with...

    Apple Intel AMD/ATI Framebuffers

    The latest version of Xcode does not have a function to download the command line tools. Apparently you need to be a registered developer to download them from the dev site. But you can download for free by typing in terminal: xcode-select --install
