Hello all. I do large onscreen graphics for corporate events and need as much video/processing horsepower as i can get.
I have 2 Hackintosh towers,
1) Z77x-UP5th, 4 core i7-3770k, 32 gb ram, nvidia 680, ML 10.8.4
2) X79-UD5, 6 core i7-3960x, 64gb ram, nvidia 680, ML 10.8.4.
I am trying to upgrade the video cards to the nvidia titan.
Hack1, dropped in titan, works great, Hack2, not so much.
on boot, it gets to the bios screen and locks up tight. i cannot get into the bios, period. sooner or later, it times out, i force quit and can't get past that point...can't get to bios, can't get to boot flags. I have installed the most current nvidia web drivers, CUDA
my current boot.plist is at the end of this post, it is the stable boot plist for the 680, i have added "nvda_drv=1" to try and get the titan to run
for the record, the X79 machine is awesome but has always been much more difficult to configure than the Z77x
it seems like either a bios problem, or just a plain incompatibility issue, does anyone have any suggestions?
