MSI GTX 670 not working

[TristanDaVoulas]

Hi everyone,

Last night I finally got my hackintosh up and running 100% perfectly on the integrated graphics, and now I can't seem to get it to work with my MSI GTX 670 Power Edition. I honestly wouldn't care all that much but I do a lot of video editing and photo editing so I really could use the performance boost. Here's an image of what I get when I boot.



I am so new to this and a huge newb so if anyone could direct me in what I'm supposed to do it would be greatly appreciated. I can get into OS X just fine without my card if I need to change a kext or something.

My system:
Asrock Z77 Extreme4 2.70 Modded BIOS
8 GB of Corsair Vengeance Ram @ 1600 MHz
MSI GTX 670 Power Edition
Intel Core i5 3570k @ 4.5 GHz

Are you using GraphicsEnabler=No?

Thanks for moving it for me. I figured it was pretty similar because it was about the GPU and such. Thanks though!

Yes I have GraphicsEnabler=No in Multibeast.

Yes I have GraphicsEnabler=No in Multibeast.

I asked because you said you started out with integrated working, which requires GraphicsEnabler=Yes, yet your nvidia card needs GraphicsEnabler=No.

Are you using DVI or HDMI to connect your monitor?

I am connecting via HDMI, my monitor doesn't have a DVI port sadly.

I just re-did my entire installation of Mac OS X following this guide, so you know what I have and haven't done. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3777028/2013 Hackintosh/v1.2.0.html

While booting into OS X, my GPU fan stays at a constant rate that although I dont think is maximum, it is still higher than usual.

Do I need to change that "Shared Memory" section of the BIOS since I have a GPU now or am I supposed to leave it at 64 MB?

Kinda in the same boat with my Asrock Fatality pro-m. It works fine when I have it set to on-board graphics but just freezes up when I switch to the PCI. With the hd4000 I get the boot screen and then it switches to my graphics card GTX660. I hope a tip or two comes out of this.

I think the consensus appears to be 32mb on the shared memory.

The guy in this video installed a kext to get the GTX 6XX series to work with his machine, although with the latest version of MultiBeast I don't see these kexts anywhere so I presume that they aren't needed and/or are outdated now?

 

[snipernick]

That is old, think the drivers were incorporated in 10.8.3
All that is needed now is GraphicsEnabler=No

 

[TristanDaVoulas]

I'll try changing my memory from 64 to 32 MB tomorrow morning. Hopefully it works!

 

[TristanDaVoulas]

Changing the graphics memory did not fix it or change anything as far as I'm aware of.

I just want my card to work this is so frustrating!

Here is the error I get:



I tried removing GpuSensor.kext from my FakeSMC.kext (as suggested in the thread below) and it didn't seem to change a thing.

Any ideas? I presume these errors have to do with FakeSMC because of the line "SMC : :smcInitHelper ERROR: MMIO regMap == Null - fall back to old SMC mode
