The 660 Ti Thread: Questions and Answers Here!

[jeaton2011]

It's not just Linux and OS X that sleep doesn't work with my 660 ti apparently. I just had it crash in Windows 7 too... right after waking from sleep. Looks like it might be a problem with the card itself or a bug in its bios.

I just thought I'd share this with everyone. My hack is dual booted with OS X ML and Win8 Pro. I'm using Parallels Desktop to access my Win8 Pro HD, kinda like Bootcamp. Anyway, I was playing some games through Parallels Desktop and noticed how smooth they were playing and decided to benchmark the video performance of Parallels Desktop for gaming, the results are pretty good for DirectX 9. DirectX 10 & 11 kept crashing, so no results. Here is a screen shot:

No, not in Parallels, I have Win8 Dual booted with OS X, installed everything natively in Win8, just accessing it through Parallels.

Hello! So I just finished installing my SSD and upgrading to 10.8.2 on my Hackintosh. Everything is working great. Now I'm about to upgrade my video card. Here are the details:

Old Card: ATI 5770
New Card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125441
Motherboard: GA-P55-USB3 http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3440#ov

So, anything special I have to do to swap the cards, besides set GraphicsEnabler=No?

Thanks!

brief OT:
I'm new to all this and I wasn't aware that you can access to an already installed Windows, I've reinstalled Win 8 through Parallels, what's the option to use the already installed Windows ?

thanks
Nicola

Nothing really, try this, goto the configure screen for the Windows 8 VM, then chose Hardware, Harddisk 1, press edit partitions, make sure both partitions are checked. Restart Parallels, start Win8. You might have to uncheck both partitions then restart parallels, then check them again.
