Plus system info doesn't show the the GPU memory:

Could you please post your clover conf.plist ?

Forcing driver can be done in boot section:

Code:

<key>Boot</key>
        <dict>
            <key>Arguments</key>
            <string>nvda_drv=1</string>

Code:

kextstat | grep GeForce

Thanks for this, this way we can know if it's really loaded

You can also do

Code:

kextstat | grep -v apple

to find all loaded drivers that are not from OS X.

The problems I notice (no displayport and wrong memory read in system info panel) appear when I change those setting in the clover config.plist. I've removed those and now I can use DP and see the correct memory read.

Apart from that still not sure if I'm using the web drive from Nvidia, I can see this in console:

Code:

kextstat | grep GeForce
   86    0 0xffffff7f81aaa000 0x8f000    0x8f000    com.nvidia.web.GeForceWeb (8.2.7) <85 83 68 67 11 7 5 4 3 1>

This is my config.plist

Without setting the flag to true now I can see the GPU memory:

Does this values look right? GPU core doesn't look as low as some of you reported before...

That was taken without any apps running...

Thank you!

Just done it and it works like a charm as advertised! My evga GTX 650 Ti Boost 2Gb finally idles at 324 Mhz :clap:

But every time i boot my system i get this weird message in order to update my cuda drivers which already are up to date...Anyone knows how to make it go away,or i just have to wait for nvidia to update their cuda drivers?
Thanks in advance! :headbang:

There was a fix somewhere to use some file of the web driver on the cuda, I'm not able to find any more, and plus I'm not sure if still works on the latest version...

Two possible solutions:

Set SMBios to one of the MacPro models (3,1; 4,1; or 5,1; not sure if higher models are accepted)

Alternatively, you could place your patch in your current system ID into one of the kexts, but I cannot recall the specific directions for that route. I went the first route personally. I have not tried these drivers, however - I haven't had any success just yet.

Well, first step didn't work. For the 2nd, I do not know how to set it...

The installation on my computer was fine and problem-free.
Now I get correct idle.

Power Management is working for me now!! Congrats Nvidia for this driver.

I just want to let know that a new Cuda driver is out, installed it and everything so far is good
