Hi to all
i have searched in all part about how to get work GTX 285.
It seems that the only way for ML is to add the EFI string in plist.
My MB is Gigabyte EX58-UD5.
I have a fully functional DSDT.
WIth a standard plist (Graphic Enables=SI/NO, PCIRootUID=0/1, etc) doesn't boot. ALways black screen.
The only way is to add the EFI string to plist.
Have i not considered other solution or is this the only way to make it work in ML ?
Tks
Giuseppe

PS:I have done the installation with ATI 4850 and after i had acceleration with Exotic patch.
 
You can try loading the efi firmware for the Mac version of the gtx 285 but you might need to solder...

Can you share how you did the efi string?
My gtx 285 2gb works in 10.7.2 but cannot get it to work for 10.8.2 installer, get a black screen...
