Finally managed to get an OSX-Lion install working on my system; The only problem is I'm only getting 27FPS with my GTX580,

I used multi-beast and it seemed to work with the Graphics-Card; but then using the GTX580+CUDA package, made it so there is a strange blue-screen on login and boot up and also the obvious FPS issues :(

So I tried a fresh-install.

I'm not getting over 37FPS with my GTX 580.. Seems extremely low :(

Hi! With Cinebench I got 40,45 FPS and have used the C43 version for GTX580 from this http://iparsifal.org/osx/ and I think it is OK so far. Youtube in Google Chrome is having a transparant movie window (I see the desktop right through it) but maybe that is another problem.
BTW: Where did you find the Cuda package?

Cheers!

For the GTX 580, so I prefer to have Graphics Mode empty in org.chameleon.Boot, and not use kernel cache, the yield figure is much better, and kext of:

I am having the same problem. GTX 580 is not working exactly right even though I have QE/CI working fine. Everything works great but performance is weak.

I get 24fps in Cinebench 11.5 in OSX.

Now keep in mind though.. I get around 37fps in Cinebench 11.5 on Windows with GTX 580. So your 37fps might be in sync with mine.

Not sure what's up. I also have additional GTX 275 card in the machine, so I don't know if that's what is causing the problem.

Do you have only GTX 580 in your machine?

you have to be using a MacPro profile for those new drivers to even install
Click to expand...

there is a modified driver at the link above..no need for Mac pro as system profiler... I have the Imac 12,2
But it needs additional Powermanagement kext.
Might be a better solution with time maybe... maybe it gets better result with 5,1 or 3,1
But I haven't tried yet.

Any Wizkid with that knowledge?
Accourding to http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/2012/01/ ... ation.html
There is a huge diffrence with the system deffs. I have the 1155 cpu socket = Imac ( I do not think there is a Mac pro with those specs yet they are still on 1156?)
GTX 570-580 is a "future card" for the next osx as it has OOTB support for that card for the Mac pro.
So I do not know which system deff. I should actually use. Propably don't need to fiddle with powermanagement with the mac pro installs..but thats as far my teory goes...



But I do not know if this is good results why isn't the hertz/refresh rate showing up?
I have the Imac 12,2 System deffinition and the driver is for Mac pro 3,1 4,1 and 5,1 I belive. I had to add a powermanagement kext accourding to the description.

hi all,
installed GTX 5XX Enabler 10.7.3 and my card works perfect !!!
i use a GeForce GTX 560 Ti 1024 MB (MSI)

complete noob to hackintosh. took me one evening now everything running perfect under lion. can even use quartz-composer with opengl stuff...

big up to tonymacx86 and friends.
 
installed now (3 days working on it) 10.7.3 on my i7 x58 @4ghz and my GTX570 (1081), very stable and total working (audio-graphics-network-icloud), fully compatible with my Ubuntu Airplay Server and obviously my iPhone 4s.

Got it on an Asus vg278 monitor, 1080p 3D 120hz monitor perfectly working, wondering if boot resolution can be fixed coz it's stucked on lowres (the grey one with the Apple logo on center).

any tips?

this is the bootfile, but it's ignoring the GraphicsMode string :?

From my understanding that's based on what your MB tells the initial native resolution is. With windows you don't notice it cause it's black on black. There's a thread floating around about ding hex editing of your mother board, but considering there's a chance to wreck it I can't really see it being worth the effort.
