Hi,

today I bought this GTX 660 Ti card:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130812

Now, before the swap from the HD 5870 to the 660 Ti
I changed Graphics Enabler from Yes to No.
Installed the CUDA Drivers.

Swapped the cards and the system just booted fine.
Now at the moment after installing Fake SMC nVidea plugins... the system freezes.
When I restarted the system it stuck on the Apple logo, but no spinning wheel...
When trying -v it hangs at the photo in the attachment...

When I reswap to my HD 5870 the system just boots fine...
Installed the latest drivers that where released by nVidea, but no succes...

What can be the problem?
It's really strange, because I tried to do a clean install on seperated HDD, but it don't boot the the installer....

Kind regards,

Bernd

I'm not 100% sure, but I've read that the fakeSMC plugins crash systems. Does this in my case, too. But I'm using a 6870.
 
I have both deleted the ATI and nVidea FakeSMC plugins, but no succes...
I even can't install a clean system with the card...
 
You can use integrated graphics to reinstall OS X.
You will need to delete the entire plugins folder, by the way.
 
I don't have integrated graphics it's a x58a-ud3r v2 board.
You are saying I have to use a other videocard to do a clean install?
 
If you can't even get to the installer, then yeah; you would.
 
When you adjusted the boot.plist did you clear the kernel cache? If not try the boot flag " UseKernelCache=No".

Also have you tried PCIRootUID=0, PCIRootUID=1, or NPCI=0x3000?

my EVGA 660 ti had issues with the nvclockx.kext (fakesmc plugin). I ended booting to the UniBeast install USB and using the terminal to navigate to fakesmc plugins to delete it.
