GTX 650 compatibility with Mountain Lion 10.8.2 Hackintosh

[thetrystero]

I installed NVIDIA and CUDA drivers, then the EVGA GTX 650, and everything seems to work fine. It even shows up as a 650 in the system profiler. However, auto sleep has stopped working (it was working when using HD4000 graphics). Any ideas as to how I can fix this? Another thing I noticed was that it seems like the GPU fan was running full speed the whole time. Does the GPU not have speedstepping, or is there a way to enable it?

[N.B. I had to keep the EFI injection in my org.chameleon.bootlist and set GraphicsEnabler=Yes, or it would KP. Also, I had to keep the BIOS setting for onboard graphics memory at 32MB, but I think this would not affect the discrete GPU yes?]

Great card. I needed a cheap card that would work with two Korean 27" IPS monitors, Achieva Shimians to be exact. Until now I had been using a GTX 680 taken from another computer because the 660Ti I had tried was crashing my computer several times a day.

This card is driving two monitors at 2560x1440 over each DVI just as well as the 680. After the nightmare of the 660 Ti I wasn't sure what would happen.

UPDATE!!! Got GTX 650 Ti fully working, see screenshot.

Steps I took:
Used internal HD 4000 to set system up.

Made sure to include GraphicsEnabler=No in Multibeast

Installed Nvidia drivers for 660 Ti from http://www.nvidia.com/object/macosx-304.00.05f02-driver.html
(note: there are BOTH graphics drivers and Cuda drivers available for OS X. Some people have gotten mixed up thinking only Cuda drivers were available. Cuda are available at another link on their page.)

Installed AppleACPIPlatform.kext for ML, from this link http://www.tonymacx86.com/mountain-lion-desktop-support/72956-10-8-2-problem.html

Installed FakeSMC and NullCpuPowerManagement kexts from this link http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/283293-gigabyte-ga-z77-ds3h-mac-install-guide/
(note sure of Null... was needed, but did it anyway)

Shut down. Inserted GTX 650 Ti, made sure it was enabled in BIOS (PEG). And it... worked!

This is running 10.8.2

Thank you so much! I have the Asus GTX 650 Ti and this totally did the trick! =D

I just hope that it'll get out of sleep in a more decent way than my GTS 450...

Thank you! I followed what you said. It's working now! However, I don't need FakeSMC and NullCpuPowerManagement now. :3

I have an EVGA GeForce 650 (non TI), but my system won't let me install these drivers. The CUDA drivers install fine, but the graphics driver installer tells me that OS X has built-in support for their cards, and won't do anything. I'm running off of my graphics card now on a 10.8.3 release, but it shows up as a generic 3MB NVIDIA card, and it's only running at 1024x768. I know the issue is probably drivers, but how can I install them?

 

[grantorrone]

hello!
I have the same problem.
di I only have to install the file linked in your post to make my sistem see it as Geforce gtx 650 an no generic card?

however connection with HDMI cable is not good. better VGA.. should try DVI-D

thanks!

 

[grantorrone]

problem solved with nvidia drivers, thanks to all anyway!

 

[jdev]

Hackman this **** just work fine with sleep enable for first time at my hack...





at chimera boot screen , just type GraphicsEnabler=No then hit enter , then Edit your org.chameleon.boot.plist like this




<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>No</string>


reboot
