New NVIDIA Graphics Drivers for 10.7.3 Lion Released

[cavendishqi]

Your hackintosh requires MacPro ID, you need to run MultiBeast, it will install correct ID into the smbios.plist file in Extra folger.

Yes, tried MacPro 5,1 and failed. Will try others later.

To those who this works.... did you have a working build before? I came up with two negative results after installing this, which forced me to revert to what I had working before.

1) Cinebench score dropped dramatically from my stock 10.7.3 build for both OpenGL and CPU.

2) System would not go to sleep anymore.

Before I tried installing this, I had it working relatively okay. I had done this by:

• adding my device ID to NVDAGF100Hal.kext/Info.plist[/*:m:1iwsbilt]
• modifying GeForceGLDriver to allow OpenCL[/*:m:1iwsbilt]
• editing AppleGraphicsPowerManagement.kext for power management[/*:m:1iwsbilt]
• I used the MacPro 5,1 profile in my smbios.plist (and AGPM)[/*:m:1iwsbilt]
• removed AppleTyMCEDriver.kext[/*:m:1iwsbilt]
• I also had to edit my Extra/com.apple.Boot.plist to include <key>Graphics Mode</key><string>1900x1200</string>. I know most of the walkthroughs say to leave the string blank, but I would only get a black screen with a white bar at the top at the bootloader if I left this out.[/*:m:1iwsbilt]

I'm wondering if anything I had to do to get it up and running before is conflicting with the new package, of if I need to go back and redo anything to improve my benchmark and get sleep to function again.

My GTS 450 is running without decreased performance with these new drivers.
I'll test if the random crashes problem is fixed and report back later.

Make sure to patch GeForceGLDriver.bundle for OpenCL support.

Keep the feedback coming- especially for these 5xx cards that weren't previously supported without kext edits.

CPU : i5 2500K
Two GTX 560 Ti 1024Mb VRAM working with Sli bridge.
LION 10.7.3. 64bit system.
Installed newest NVIDIA Cuda drivers.
GraphicsEnabler=Yes in chameleon.boot.plist

I can't execute cinebench GPU benchmark because of FadeOut plugin error

Edit 1.
On NovaBench GPU Benchmark score is 450 ( 3D Frames per second : 2036 )
Is there any other GPU benchmark for LION 10.7.3. ?

Why is the OpenGL so much lower on a GTX 580 vs a HD 6870? The GTX 580 is a much more powerful card. Is it the drivers or is AMD just better at OpenGL?

Just want to leave my 2 cents....

Could no use the installer on my setup (i even tried to use MacBook Pro in bios.plist), get this:

Extracted the contents and look for the files, found it and installed them manually with Kext Wizard, rebooted and voilá...

Made a run on CineBench OSX 11.5 and this was my score:

And there it is, my previous and my new score, guess it was a good improvement.

Works with my ASUS DirectCU II 560 Ti on a clean 10.7.3 with MultiBeast install.
