First my system:
GA-Z77X-UP5 TH
GTX 560TI
i7-3770k
OS Mountain Lion
I followed Alfa147x Guide to get everything up and running but I’ve stumbled upon a problem with my video card and I’m not sure what my next steps should be. Using the HD4000 I was able to install mountain lion without any problems, ran multibeast, disabled the onboard gfx, and switched over my GTX 560TI. I would get to the apple logo then lose the video signal. However my HHD activity light continued to be in use.
Steps I tried:
-every possibility of GraphicsEnabler and PCIRootUID with no luck.
-switched between VGA, HDMI, DVI... no luck.
-enabled the onboard graphics and added the ‘device-properties’ string to the org.chameleon.Boot.plist as described in this tonymacx86 post.
I had more success with this. The OS loaded and the 560TI was identified and working with 2 monitors. However I could no longer see my boot screen and boot options until I hooked up a 3rd monitor. Interesting enough the HD4000 would freeze on the apple logo (pic attached) and although it showed up in the profiler it did not indicate that a display was hooked up to it. Everything else worked perfectly.
-with HD4000 enabled, I removed the ‘device-properties’ string from org.chameleon.Boot.plist.
All 3 monitors worked But the HD4000 had issues playing back video. It also took a lot longer to boot and scored considerably lower with Geekbench and Cinebench.
Ideally I want to disable the onboard gfx as i need to be able to select my boot drive without having to hook up a 3rd monitor. Anybody have an idea of how to fix this?
Thanks!
