Could you guys post your benchmarks please? I'd like to know regarding the gtx 580. After the update, it's lower than before.

In novabench I get SCORE 427
And in cinebench I get 24

Does anyone have a higher score? Is that related to the powermanagement? What values do you use there?

Thanks.

I'll run novabench tomorrow, but in the meantime..


Novabench is 1027
Cinebench is 41.19
Luxmark is 7274

I think you should be getting a much higher score in cinebench.
I'm getting ~30 fps in the opengl test with a gtx 560 ti and a q6600 processor running at 3.2Ghz. In Win 7, cinebench gives me ~37 fps.
Check your score running cinebench in Win 7 and see if there is a large difference.
 
I've tried to get my new Asus GTX 560 Ti to work for a couple of days now.
The build is fully working with the good old 9800GT in 10.7.2, but somehow I can't get it past apple logo without -x aka Safe Mode while using 560 Ti.
Any idea what might be wrong?

Edit: All's good. 10.7 was an update from 10.6.8. For some reason when I did clean 10.7 install 560 Ti is also working!

Oh boy...
Could you please send me your applepowermanagement file?
I really don't know what else could I try to change here. I'm already using the right kexts from the updated ones for the 580. I think that my chameleon boot file is also ok.
Can you tell me exactly how did you achieve those values please?

Thanks a lot.
 
having the same problem wherein i see no .plist file to add my device ID. will download a prepped one if i have to but prefer to do it myself. thoughts?

also, if anyone would mind reviewing necessary steps for 5XX if you use the unibeast/10.7.2/multi4.1 method?


so far i've got:

add device ID to NVDAGF100Hal.kext
add empty graphics mode string to boot.apple.plist


other potentials include:

open CL enabler (i thought multi4.1 included this?)
installing CUDA drivers
something with the AGPM... not really clear from multiple posts


i've been browsing along here and so far haven't seen a real unified guide... and when i start the first step and don't have the .plist file, it makes me think these methods may not apply to me.

i'm new at this, so if anyone could clarify that would be awesome. thanks!
 
+1 for a unified guide! :)

I tried to switch from my 9800 GT to a GTX 560 (non Ti) 2 days ago but it crashed really bad. After a fresh Unibeast/10.7.2 install I had only set PCIRootID=1 and installed the 5xx GTX enabler mentioned earlier in this thread. Dual monitors btw.

It was really messed up, successfully booted a few times and after that it started to crash on the apple logo (you could also hear power shocks or whatever they are in the speakers when it went down). When I installed ATY_init it went back to the drawing board (1024 resolution) but with even more crashes so I had to reinstall again.

Now I'm back to the 9800GT so I can work but I surely missed some things with the 560.
 
EDIT:

this guide seems close, but isn't clear enough on methodology for a noob such as myself

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/lofive ... 60074.html

i used terminal to add the correct device ID as demonstrated in this guide

http://www.weezey.com/2011/10/os-x-lion ... x-570.html

and also installed the linked version of ATY_Init.kext, rebuilt with kext utility, and rebooted.

this gave me full resolution control, but i haven't run any benchmarking wares yet so i don't know to what extent everything is working. i think multibeast 4.1 includes openCL. when i first viewed the weezey guide, i followed it all the way through and it gave me a panic.

i suspect i still need a fix on graphics power management, and have no idea if i need to add the empty graphics mode string. also tried to intuitively edit org.chameleon.Boot.plist but still felt like i wasn't doing something right. have not repeated that portion of the weezey guide either. also, threw in the most current CUDA drivers for good measure.

any noob-friendly instructions to lend?

ORIGINAL:

it's not "officially supported", but many people on this thread seem to get it working with minimal fix.

i should clarify that so far with the uni/10.7.2/multi4.1 method, the card works (did not have to disable graphics at any point)... no problems per se, but like others i'm stuck at the low resolution and assume i'm not getting full acceleration.
 
nVidia GeForce GT 520M works like a charm under lion 10.7.2.
GraphicsEnabler=Yes will do the trick fine enough. BUT DON'T USE PCIRootUID=1. It'll RUIN THE WHOLE THING.
