<< Solved >> Install MSI GT 710 driver on Catalina

[RodAraya]

Hi everyone,

I am new in this exciting world of Hackintosh, and I am seeking help to install MSI GT 710 driver on Catalina. I will be really grateful if somebody can give a hand on this issue.


Thanks.

The driver is already in Catalina, nothing to install. It's called native support.
Zip up the config.plist you are using to see why your Vram is only 9 MB.

my asus gt710 2g ddr3 works fine with Big Sur. I think yours is DDR5 version so this is a problem.

Hi,

thanks for your help here is the file.

Here's why it's not working, you're disabling it in your config.plist. Remove this entry. (blue highlight)

Unless I'm mistaking of course, isn't the MSI GT 710 a MSI's mod of an Nvidia card?

Since Mojave there is no support for Nvidia. So, how is it still working under Catalina?

Tnx for the help.

Nvidia Kepler cards (most all from 2012/13) still have support in Catalina. Newer Nvidia cards do not.

That's what I've probably misunderstood. So, basically "modern cards" as stated here means, if I understand you, all cards starting 2014?

Here is also a list of still supported Nvidia cards. There are probably more of such lists out there.
