Testing Thread: GeForce GTX 660

[ashol]

just got my MSI GTX 660 OC TwinFrozr working, got QE/CI working too but not wake from sleep its get froze all the time
here is what i did to my system:

1. boot an install unibeast 10.8 without card pluged in
2. install combo update 10.8.4
3. run multibeast and apply graphicsenabler=no
4. shutdown system
5. plug in my MSI GTX 660
6. boot

everything seems to work falwlessly excpet sleep, just couldn't get it to work any sugestion?

system:
MSI H77MA G43 with patched bios
intel i5 3570k
GSkill Ripjaws-X 8Gb
MSI GTX 660 OC TwinFrozr 2GB
Maxtor 1tb

I actually got sleep to partially work... If I choose sleep while logged in, (with the dropdown menu on the Apple option), then it works. however once I log out and select Sleep, then the system is unable to recover and I have to do a cold restart. To get the partially working sleep, make sure you install the Desktop Sleep enabler in multibeast, I think it's under customization.... either way you'll find it. remember it only works while logged in... I'm not sure how to get it fully working, but it sort of subs.

Anyone have correct AGPM.kexts settings for GTX 660? I tried one kext modification I found and got a system crash at boot.

Edit: Got it working. Under the section for my model I changed the device ID to 11c0 for the following section of code. You should be able to copy and paste into AGPM.plist under the section for your computer model.

Where do you have got these values from? Is this a clone from a different card?

 

[2MNY]

Yes, I changed the device ID in an existing card. My understanding is that the values will work for a number of cards depending on the graphics chip architecture they use. I.E. one group of settings for Kepler chips and another set of settings for non-Kepler chips.

Used the HD3000 (Mac mini 5,1 system profile) until today. I read Buyer's Guide June 2013 and decided to grab one of the graphics cards as I bought a 2nd high-res monitor.
So I chose the GTX 660 (overclocked) from Gigabyte due to DisplayPort, DVI Dual Link and a nice price tag. And it was said to have native support. http://www.tonymacx86.com/328-native-support-nvidia-gtx-650-ti-gtx-660-graphics-cards-10-8-3.html
http://www.tonymacx86.com/353-nvidia-releases-mountain-lion-10-8-3-graphics-drivers.html

If you aren't having any issues, do not install- the native OS X drivers work great for most people.

...so I did not install them.

Changed BIOS to make PCI-e x16 primary graphics card. Hooked up my small & older monitor to DVI port. New monitor to DisplayPort.
GraphicsEnabler=No modified in org.chameleon.Boot.plist

Bootup! Graphics looked fine but video gave these distorted images.

Reboot, same result and computer crashed after a few seconds of video playback.
Installed a Mac Pro 5,1 system profile using Multibeast.
Reboot, kernel panic at boot. Did not investigate why.
Booted an older system clone. Installed Mac Pro 3,1 system profile.

It is all working now! Including video!!

CUDA driver installed. Opened Adobe Premiere CC settings and changed renderer into GPU CUDA renderer. B)
I have never had a Hackintosh with working sleep, this is no exeception, but I don't mind. My power saving options are all turned off.

Hello minihack, I have the same graphics as you, it works well card, but I have 2 problems:
1 / when I suspend the activity, it don't awakes ! have to restart
2 / I can't boot from usb key Unibeast, I have to disassemble my graphics card to boot off a USB key!
You have these problems? can you help me? What are your BIOS settings? thank you in advance Fred

Hello! I am new to the forum and new to Hackintosh! So please if you're kind enough excuse my ignorace!

I am purchasing lots of parts next week including the Gigabyte GTX 660 2GB. Does anyone know how this card perform under Mavericks?

The current state in 10.8.4 is good right? Sleep is working only with power button?

I am a video editor, how does CUDA perform? Any drawbacks there?

Any drawbacks in general?

Any kind of help would be really appreciated!!! Thanks a bunch!!
Tony.

I have that card and it works well. I'm running the latest version of Mavericks (updated like normal through the App Store) and don't have any troubling problems.

As for CUDA, I'm afraid I don't know, hopefully somebody else does.
