Hi all
My system is:
GX58 UD5
I7 980, 24GB RAM
Nvidia GTX 970 4GB
MB, CPU and GPU are water-cooled
256GB SSD OSX
256GB SSD Windows 7
1024GB SSD Data
LG 31MU97 4096x2160@60Hz, connected with DisplayPort 2 MiniDisplayPort cable.
The LG 31MU97 is a pre calibrated Monitor from LG electronics with an IPS panel and a native resolution of 4096x2160.
Inputs: DisplayPort, MiniDisplayPort, 2xHDMI 1.4, USB3 HUB, Audio
The Displayport is default set to 1.2
I check the calibration with a photometer (Profile Pro) and had only a minimal adaption
OSX Installation is absolutely standard, I upgraded from 10.9. and 10.10.0
Boot.plist is:
<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>No</string>
<key>IGPEnabler</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>kext-dev-mode=1 nvda_drv=1</string>
...
In Multibeast, I selected a MacPro 5.1 because the newest Nvidia driver is not installing on a MacPro 6.1,
which is a good idea in Apples real world
In 10.10.0 this was possible.
Since 10.10.1 the OS X graphics driver has minimal functionality on a GTX970, 1280x1024 and very slow but it saved me because the NVIDIA driver was not set as default, even with settings from above. I had to change it in NVIDIAs control panel after boot.
The Monitor is not detected as a retina display from OSX, but in Scaled Resolution (select with Option Click) you can select at least 40 different resolutions.
For my Photo Work I run it with 4096x2160, but for normal desktop I use 3200x1687, which scales great.
DisplayMenu from Appstore helps to change the resolutions fast.
UPDATE:
Retina works now with:
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver.plist DisplayResolutionEnabled -bool true
