<< Solved >> NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT 1GB on macOS Catalina

[PardoOfficial]

Hi,
I've succesfully installed macOS Catalina on my PC, but the problem is the graphic card (9500 GT), wich doesn't work proprelly because the "About this mac" windows shows "NVIDIA Chip Model 5MB".
Can someone help me?
I've read in a different discussion about a kext wich works with macOS High Sierra, but I would try with Catalina.
(Apart from the GPU, the rest of the PC works fine).

P.S. Sorry for my bad English

I'm attaching the "About this Mac" screen:

That card is not supported in Catalina. Either get a newer supported card like a GT 710 or try this experimental script to enable your card.

Yes, I’ve l’already tried with this script but the GPU is not recognised by macOS .
But I’m sure there’s someone who makes this card working in Catalina...

Looks like the perfect time to give up the 2008 era C2Duo system and join everyone else in the 2020s.

Yes, I know that problem, but I have created a patched installer to install It on my PC and it works without any problem, the only thing wich is not working is the GPU, but in this thread (https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/solved-nvidia-9500gt-high-sierra.244559/) I've found someone who have make the GPU working.

In High Sierra.

In High Sierra.

Yes, the thread was created for High Sierra but an user asks about Catalina and another user (look the screenshot on my previous post) responded that it works.

Good luck with that.
