Exactly the problem I see. Often I can sleep and wake right away without problems, but walk away and have lunch and it's touch and go whether it will wake from sleep properly when I come back. I can still ssh back in, but even issuing shutdown from the cli doesn't work properly (ends ssh session, but doesn't restart etc).
I'd also pinned this issue to the graphics card, but today I've come across an old post about ML not waking from sleep properly because the hard drives have been unmounted! I'm thinking this may be the real issue.
It's to do with AHCI mode and AHCI SATA Hot plug feature that some motherboards have (mine does). If you've ever had to apply the 'orange icon fix' to stop disk drive icons from being orange, then you'll have dealt with this issue cosmetically.
Google for "Wake from Sleep - Freeze - Due to ejected HDD's" to read the issue thread (different forum). There are some workarounds, one of which I'm about to try But since I don't think it's 660 ti related I'm not going to talk about it further in this thread.
Well, check your console and see what's the error it shows when you wake your system from sleep, mine is ...
Code:
NVDA(OpenGL): Channel exception! exception type = 0x1f = Fifo: MMU Error
so its differently the 660 ti!
BTW, I installed a fresh ML, tried every possible combination: 10.8.1 with OpenCL patch from MB, 10.8.2 with/without OpenCL patch from MB (since 10.8.2 should has full native kepler support and dont need the patched openCL method, 10.8.2 without latest Nvidia drivers for 10.8.2. All with the same issue.
CustoMac 2012 post says 660 Ti are supported, @thelostswede has the exact same card as me (Galaxy GTX 660 Ti GC 2GB, actually I bought this card after his recommendation for it) with no problems as he said (touch wood), but the fact that the most of us with 600 Ti have problems!!! is it possible to be solved? by patched kext maybe? something in chimera? not sure! I'm advanced user and it's not the first time with hackintosh, I read a lot, and know how to find my way when there's a problem, BUT I'm not a software coder, so I don't know what the error above means, and can't find a solution myself. Really frustrated The problem is: In my country, it's not available to return a product just because it doesn't fit my needs, it should has a technical issue to be able to return it, so I have to resell it with lose, to switch to 670 for example or just stay with my old 5770, so I'm a total loser here
I think this card should be removed from the CustoMac 2012 post, unless there is a possible solution for its problems.
