I am building a new system for a friend and I am disappointed by graphic performance.
Build :
H55M-USB3 (bios F8) + Core i5-760 - 2x4 GB Corsair XMS Ram (1333 MHz)
OCZ 80GB Vertex2 (system) + Samsung 1TB (datas)
Graphic card is a Gainward GT240 - 512 MB GDDR5 ram.
Original retail OSX DVD (10.6.3) install with iboot, combo update to 10.6.6, Tonymac NVIDIA upgrade package, NVidia CUDA package and Multibeast 3.3.0
I tried 2 times to flash F11 (latest) bios but after several boot without problems the mobo crashed and revert to original bios (F8) from second bios. I'll let it at that if it is more stable.
I got cinebench (OpenGL) score between 13,55 and 13,69. Never less or more.
Currently running as Macpro 5,1 with AppleGraphicPowerManagement edited.
I originally tried as MacPro 3,1.
I tried with GraphicsEnabler=Yes in com.apple.Boot.plist, with NVEnabler instead, I also tried without any Enabler but with a custom edited DSDT : same results.
I am currently running with latest bios from a Gigabyte GT240 loaded with UseNvidiaROM=Yes and VBIOS in com.apple.Boot.plist, same results.
I had read from forum messages that with GT240 you could get cinebench scores around 20-22.
Am I dreaming, the 13,5/13,7 score is the maximum I could get with a GT240?
Any idea would be appreciated...
