I just built my new Hackintosh with a Z77 Gigabyte Mainbord and Core i3 processor. Everything is working fine so far (and was very easy to set up - thanks tonymacx86!).
However I also added a Geforce GT 640 graphics card, which also was immediately recognized by Mac OS (shows up in System Profiler) after setting after setting graphics enabler = NO. So I wanted to try it out by playing Civilization V (from Steam) but was very surprised to see that it would not run fluently at all. Even on the lowest settings scrolling in the map is only at (roughly estimated) 5 fps. It's unplayable.
Is this normal? A friend of mine has it on his 21.5" iMac (the 2011 edition) and it runs smoothly in high details, yet that is a Radeon card.
Are Apple's Nvidia drivers so bad or did I miss to install something important in Multibeast?
Any hints are highly appreciated. I don't want to switch to Windows to play games...
And I am on OS 10.8.2. I first installed Mac OS and when everything was running I put in the graphics card. Does that make a difference?
