Hi,
i have problem with Asus GTX580.
i get very low opengl performance on CINEBENCH only 33 FPS and i saw people here with gtx 560 and got 50 FPS+-
why is that?
the steps i did:
1) change ID NVDAGF100Hal.kext to 1080
2)Graphics Mode to nothing
3)edit AGPM.kext
4)open Kext Utility
5)reboot

i have OpenGl and OpenCL enabled :)

just i dont understand why i get such a low performance... :(

Hey Diabolo,

did you also choose the right Smbios to your edits ind AGPM.Kext?

I also have a GTX580 from Asus, an I´m getting around 42FPS in Cinebench, wich is quite o.k., but I know, there is better results with 560ies, but some of them seem to use a 10.7.2 beta version, wich has newer nvidia drivers.

Hi and thanks for the replay :)
do you have also this version ENGTX580 DCII/2DIS/1536MD5??
can you upload your AGPM kext? and which Smbios do you use?4,1?
and what is your 10.7.x? (10.7.2 or 10.7.1?)

thanks

I am using the latest 10.7.2 GM build.
Performance on my GTX580 is verry poor. Just about 12 fps in cinebench.
I don't know why but on 10.7.0 i got like 30fps, which is okay but still not even close to the performance on windows.
I am using the installtion method described by prolifix. But i guess he's right, you should stay on 10.7.0 if you got any 5xx card.
 
bah! upgraded my gts250 to to 580. Can't get my EVGA GTX 580 to play nice.
Everything worked with my 250. Sleep, sleep wake, ripples, chess.

Edited the NVHAL file and graphics power mgmt files with my device id
ran the Geforce patch in multi beast 4.0.2
Installed CUDA
Even tried the aty_int to S/L/E with the kext helper...

I do get full resolution on 2 moniters dvi/dvi...

setting Graphics Mode with a "null key" causes my computer to keep reseting at boot.. After many attempts I put a "space" between the <key> </key>. And it boots fine but with o without -v :

still no ripples
chess is black
computer never comes back from sleep


I'm on a 5,1 and 10.7.1

anything else i can do?
 
Hey all, I have a GTX 590 and have Full Res, OpenCL Patch applied and Cuda downloaded and installed. All appears well after adding in my device id to NVDAGF100Hal.kext.


Only issue is that OpenGL accelerated apps don't seem to work, OpenGL extension viewer, Chess, FinalCutX ect..



Now the funny part of all this is simple games from the AppStore seem to work.


Cant wait to get this fixed as I will have a fully functional system, I can swap out the 590 for a 580 I can get my hands on but I think I am better off with the 590 in the long run.

I updated to 10.7.2 ( beta ) and updated NVDA file with my divice id ( gtx580 ) and the GL patch/cuda.

Chess works but no ripple. Also can no longer wake from sleep ( freezes on wake; black screen)

I DID NOT put Graphics Mode with a null value in it. Will try that soon.
 
Same thing with the 580 no OpenGL, trying modded AGPM kext for the 570 / 580 now along with re-adding Graphics Mode = "" in boot.plist.

Fingers Crossed.

EDIT: still did not work for the 580, even installed 10.7.2 as well hoping for newer kexts but had waiting for root device even after re installing with multibeast and copying kexts over from a backup 10.7.1.

used CCC to clone over a 10.7.1 backup. just need to reinstall a couple of apps to replace lost frameworks and back to normal.

Hope Support comes soon, or someone finds a hack that 100% works for the 580 / 590
 
The funny thing with the 570 (and probably the 580) is that sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. I've had installs where it works perfectly, and then a DSDT upgrade or installing Chimera ruins it (or something else that seems totally unrelated). I can't seem to figure out what is happening, nor have I been able to reproduce the results with another clean install. The indicator seems to be (for me) that if it boots with the apple icon in the top left hand corner, then everything is fine. If it boots with the apple screen in 1024*768 before it switches to full res, GL is broken.
I've tried every possible edit I can find bar a custom graphics string (which I can't seem to make), and I'm completely stumped.
Someone who knows a lot more about this than I do needs to look into this. It's probably something simple, but I'll be damned if I know.
 
hey guys..

i've been playing around with my 560 ti for the last few days. i've got both opengl and opencl working and have edited my agpm.kext to allow power management.

i thought it was working perfectly but found that after waking from sleep i'd see this in the console:



when loading websites with flash, it wouldn't change as it usually would (to say mode 0, then 1) from a clean boot. the only way to kick it back into 'normal' operation was to run a benchmark or something power hungry.

i've also experienced a couple of lockups where i would have to hold down the power button to shut it down.

any thoughts?

edit: i should note that i'm running 10.7.1 with a 560Ti
