The 660 Ti Thread: Questions and Answers Here!

[itdemo]

I have a GA-Z77X-UP5 TH with an EVGA GTX 660 Ti and am having issues while using Safari (as well as Chrome and Firefox). I followed both of Alfa's guides and have been reading through this thread, as well as others, trying to find a solution.

Guides followed: http://goo.gl/I81lk and http://goo.gl/1wT6o

When using Safari, it will crash quite often. In every crash report for WebProcess it has GeForceGLDriver.bundle listed: http://pastebin.com/n03CsvFi
When using Chrome, individual tabs crash all the time. Firefox will completely crash as well, repeatedly.

I am wondering if anyone else has encountered this and, if so, is there a solution? From my reading, many 660 Ti cards are working wonderfully (I have no need for Final Cut). Is there a specific issue with the EVGA model, perhaps?

I am running 10.8.2. I am able to play World of Warcraft and Diablo III without any issues. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Not sure if this will help but have you tried this? http://netkas.org/?p=1161
I know your card is only 2GB but might be worth a shot.

Is this the same fix that is now built into MultiBeast? http://i.imgur.com/jWpG4.png
If so, yes, I tried that. If not... I will give it a shot. Thanks!

Hi I've tried using the 2gb ram + thing and also followed the guide on how to install this card and I'm stuck at boot unless I use -x boot flag. I get stuck at the last line macx_swapon success and it seems to be related to the graphics card. I'm completely stuck :S. I tried booting with GraphicsEnabler=No as well. I have a ZA-Z77-D3H, 8gig ram and the msi 660 ti.

Thanks in advance for help!

no matter what working drive or OS or even the unibeast thumb drive, during boot up i get the grey curtain "must power down" KP when I have my EVGA GeForce GTX 660 plugged in, onboard graphics works fine, but i get the curtain from the xMove installer, Unibeast installer drive, or any of the working drives I have, can I get any guidance?

GA-Z77-DS3H
i7-3770k
16GB Corsair 1333Mhz RAM
EVGA nVidia GeForce GTX 660 (brand new)

I've tried a lot of methods with no success, any help would be greatly appreciated.

GTX 660 and GTX 660 Ti are not the same thing! Read these ...

BTW I finally got a Galaxy GTX 660 Ti, the same one as @thelostswede's, so far, no problems at all (don't have/use FCPX)

Short feedback from my side:
got the Gainward GTX 660Ti Phantom today, plugged in and set GraphicsEnabler=0, than followed slugnets guide. By now, everything works fine and I'm very happy (I'm not using FCPX!)

With the new drivers released by Nvidia (http://www.tonymacx86.com/257-nvidi...utm_campaign=Feed:+tonymacx86rss+(tonymacx86)), I'm curious if this solves the issues with FCPX. Can someone with a 660Ti and FCPX test and report back?

I have loaded the new Nvidia Drivers (304.00.05f02 - 10/02/12) with the new CUDA Drivers on my hackintosh with the problematic EVGA 660Ti.

I will tentatively say that they appear to have fixed the FCPX issues. After some issues with booting after loading the new drivers (spinning flower and blank screens until I booted -f and the normally) FCPX will now load the Neat Video Reduce Noise Filter, Sapphire Edge and Magic Bullet Looks without locking.

I am testing it right now so things may change, but (fingers crossed) this appears to have fixed my issues with the 660Ti and my Gigabyte Z77X-UP7.

Thanks,

Are you able to check 3 displays as well? A guy claims 3 screens on a GTX 680... Very bottom post: http://www.tonymacx86.com/257-nvidi...n-10-8-2-graphics-drivers.html#comments_start

Affirmative. I have tested my EVGA 660ti with two DVI and an HDMI connection to 3 monitors. Works as expected.

So right now, my FCPX plugins AND 3 Displays work with the 660ti and the new drivers.

Hell yeah! Now have to decide whether I get a 660ti or 670...
