Small thing, but does anyone know of a flag to remove the lizard from the boot screen? I would prefer just a text boot, and I think it looks kinda goofy. :D

Lets try to keep this thread just on the topic of graphics. :thumbup:

Excellent works perfect, great job. How do you get to know this information?, I edited GeForceGlDriver.bundle hex file can be downloaded here:

http://iparsifal.org/osx
 
Successfully installed 2xGTX570 evga sc cards on an Asrock P67 Fatal1ty Pro Board with 16GB Ram and an i7 2600k processor. Thanks to aquamac's guide on efi strings, graphics enabler (yes), graphics mode (null), and pciroot=1 npci=2000 flags.

Chimera bootloader from Multibeast fixed the bootup panic (was on chameleon rc5 since the Lion fresh install). Just inserted the device id in the NVDAG100Hal.kext (1086) and applied Netkas' OpenCL hex fixes then prepared the efi strings for both cards using aquamac's guide.

Now running on cuda drivers 4.0.21 (cuda-z sees both cards) and tested the system on Davinci Resolve Lite successfully.

Thanks to tonymac, aquamac, netkas and all the rest who have been posting both here and on insanelymac. And thanks to Luigi Valttulini for the inspiration.

Now on to fixing dsdt to be able to run the hack without nullcpu.
 
any lazy person interested in my 560ti on 10.7.1 ready-to-overwrite kexts?
I have qe ci opencl and agpm fully working
 
Not lazy but will take it, thanks!

Also, do you experience lag up until you wake up from sleep? My 560 seems to lag up until i wake it up from sleep.

Sounds great! Please post your files. Are your edits different from those already posted for the 560 Ti?
 
have test GTX 560TI on Mac OS X Lion 10.7.xx

Add Device id 1200 AGPM.kext and NVDAGF100Hal.kext ONLY..

could you please send me your AGPM.kext ? Or maybe tell me exactly where I add the device id, because going through there is a ton of device ID's that I can change to 1200. Which one would be the right one to change? Im @ 12,2/10.7.1/GTX560ti/i5-650/

THANKS in advance.

no lag. Patched AGPM kext to do a proper scaling of my card.
AGPM's info.plist is not documented but if I understood parameters correctly, I currently set up it to upscale the card when above 5% usage and downscale when under 3% for at least 5 seconds. If this values sounds too much for you just edit them with a text editor. This removed all the lag for me.

Edit: How did you enable sleep? My machine goes to sleep and never wakes up again. I believe it goes in KP :/

sure they are, read above.
Plus the other were for 10.7, 10.7.1 has new NVDAGF100Hal.kext

The card is at Vendor10deDevice1200 under iMac12,2 (yes you need to set your machine to iMac12,2 with multibeast, I would have used MacPro 5,1 but I get KPs with it)
