Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me with a problem. I've completed my hackintosh build buying recommend parts off the list. I built the machine without buying a graphics card first, to validate that all the other parts don't have compatibility/defect issues. So far so good. I took a risk and bought the EVGA GTX 780 3gb graphics card. I did quite a bit of research and saw that it wasn't recommended due to various little problems with the GK110B stuff. (I don't fully understand the technicalities of these problems but I was aware). I'm running a multi monitor work station. Off of just the mother board I was able to run 2 monitors no problem and every application was working fine. I went ahead and purchased the GTX 780 and now I am running three monitors off of it. (1 HDMI, and 2 DVI connected monitiros). Everything boots up just fine with the 780, all monitors are detected and all is well. I then play a few games to test it and run Cinnabench to test for stability and everything is stable so far.
*The Problem
I'm working on an app in Xcode and suddenly when switching to my assistant editor view when suddenly Xcode crashes. I re-open and try again only to find that every time it crashes when opening the assistant editor. The error message was an invalid kernel access error every time when Xcode would crash. To verify if this was the card or something else, I removed the card and connected my monitors back to the motherboard and booted up as I did before purchasing the 780. I tried opening the assistant editor in Xcode again and everything worked fine. I put the GTX 780 back in and tried again, and the Xcode crashes were still happening.
I did not install any Nvidia drivers for this card and I have GraphicsEnabler=No in my MultiBeast settings. I've googled around and found threads where other people were seeing applications misbehave with the GTX 780 potentially being the problem.
*The Question
Are there any drivers I should download or settings I should set to alleviate any problems with this card? Unfortunately I can't get a cash refund for this card since I bought it at TigerDirect and my next best thing would be to trade it in for a GTX770 and keeps some store credit but I'd like to exhaust all options before having to do this because I really like this card.
*Build Information and Installation Information
When installing Mavericks with Unibeast, the GTX 780 was not present during the installation. I'm not sure if this would make a difference in one way or the other in terms of osx applications misbehaving.
Hardware:
Haswell 4770k i7
Gigabyte Z87-UD3H
Corasir TX850M PSU
EVGA GTX 780 3gb
Corasir Vengenace LP 16GB Ram
Seagate Barracudea 7200.12 500 GB Harddrive
*All parts were purchased from tonymacx86
If anyone could offer any help or advice on how to approach this I would really appreciate it. I'm going to reinstall Xcode and see if that fixes the problem. I will post any solution I find on my own for anyone else who may be having this problem too.
