Nvidia 550Ti Sleep / Wake / Freeze Thread

[grassmudhorse]

After the update my GTS450 does have the random freeze. Was using 10.8.2 with the DP3 driver without any problem for many months. But luckily there is a tool to fix it.

 

[markart]

has anyone tested the new nvidia drivers for 10.8.4?
There are always random freezes?

Sorry for my bad English.

@markart I've tried running them without FreezeFix.app and sadly I've been able to reproduce the infamous fermi freeze. I put my display to sleep (ctrl-shift-eject) and awaken it again a couple of times and eventually my system has frozen... Perhaps it wouldn't freeze with normal usage, but I didn't want to use my hackintosh in fear that it might freeze. I'd recommend using FreezeFix.app with the new drivers for now, I've got no problems whatsoever with it.

PS: I've got a GTX 560 Ti, so your experiences with 550 Ti might be different, but I doubt so.

Which Smbios profile are you using?, I think the nvidia drivers work for the best if you use MacPro Profile. In fact if you use them and you are using a macbookpro profile it freezee in safari or in quicktime as soon as you try some videos.

I´m using this new Nvidia 10.8.4 web drivers with a custom fake MacBook Pro 8,4 profile with darkwake=0 as boot option and for the las week none a single freeze with my GTX560M.

Good Luck

Hi all,

I can confirm that after using the patch and freeze fix app i have no more freezes, video performance is fine(same as was) but no freezes and sleep works fine too.

Thanks again for hard work guys!

Hey there,

I've lurked this thread for quite a while now. I had troubles getting dual screen to work and i got a freeze by switching from fullscreen to window mode. This was 10.8.2. After upgrading to 10.8.4 i had the usual Audio fixing to do, but i could't still figure out how to get wake and dual screen to work until i added these lines to my boot.plist:

it has been two days now. No crashes. Sleep/Wake and Dual Screen is working fine. I didn't have to use the crash fix.

I hope this can be of any help, even though i really don't know what i did.

Good Luck

Just to inform:

ML 10.8.5 installed without problems. All is working ok, and Nvidia updated their drivers and the CUDA drivers too.
