Hi All,
I almost gave up on my hackintosh build (UEFI Gigabyte GA-Q77M-D2H + i7-3770) recently because I didn't realize I needed to disable VT-d in the BIOS. Luckily now that I have everything seems to be working fine.
I read through a couple other threads on VT-d:
http://www.tonymacx86.com/mountain-...10-8-2-disabled-vt-d-bad-gfx-performance.html
http://www.tonymacx86.com/mountain-lion-desktop-support/75495-vt-d-motherboard-problem.html
I would still like to know more about this setting and how it affects performance and functionality as well as why this is an issue on this motherboard when others I have worked with did not have this limitation.
What kind of MacOS features/programs are affected by disabling VT-d? I know virtualization apps like Parallels and Fusion may be affected but what about games and other apps?
What is the best way to restore VT-d functionality? I started with 10.8.2 so I don't 10.8.1 settings to revert back to.
Thanks!
