Re: GFX Strings - DUAL CARDS - How To

Hi. I'm struggling to get my dual cards working. I am on lion 10.7.2. I have 2 cards: EVGA GTX 470 AND EVGA GT 430. When I boot I get stuck on the screen with the power logo saying "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button until it turns off, then press the power button again." What am I doing wrong? Is my plist ok?

This is my plist:

How do i go about making the initial plist from scratch as there is not one listed for my cards to work with
Nvidia XFX 8400GS (0x06e4)

what program would i use to create the initial plist?

Never mind - found EFIStudio so going to try that for now and see if i can get these cards working properly.

Thanks anyway

Hi guys
I am a noob here so please be patient. i followed the instructions for dual cards on my hackintosh but I keep getting a Restart computer message right after the grey apple screen.

I am running 10.6.8 on a p6t Deluxe v2 installed today with this guide
http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.p....2&#entry1394042

I got everything to work.

I have a GeForce 9800 GT 1024 mb

and a GeForce 9800 GTX 512 mb

i can see them separately but never together.

this is my in.plist

Dual GFX Solved here, but with DSDT method!
Gigabyte x58a-ud3r rev. 2 with FF bios version, with Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with Gigabyte 8600 GT(256 mb) on PEG2 and a Gainward 9500 GT (1GB) on PEG1, bios setting : PEG1, installed cuda drivers, with the attached DSDT, graphic enabler disabled in boot.plist, and voila: all outputs are perfectly working!
If you want me to send you the file, give me a email

Hi there,

I also have problems with 2x 8800GT 512, and ASUS P6T Deluxe 2, i7 930, 8 GB ram.

10.6.8 installed, everything works except :

1. One card perfectly working, GraphicsEnabler=Yes, both DVi ok, QE/CI works
2. Both cards works with strings thanks to aquamac, GraphicsEnabler=no, full resolution, all 4 screens 1920x1200, BUT NO QE/CI
3. Tried with changing DSDT, but probably not correct settings, both cards detected, but basic resolution 1024x800, no QE/CI

Any help will be appreciated !!

Thanks !!!!!

Andrej

Hi guys
I am a noob here so please be patient. i followed the instructions for dual cards on my hackintosh but I keep getting a Restart computer message right after the grey apple screen.

I am running 10.6.8 on a p6t Deluxe v2 installed today with this guide
http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.p....2&#entry1394042

I got everything to work.

I have a GeForce 9800 GT 1024 mb

and a GeForce 9800 GTX 512 mb

Solved.... Set the first GTX 480 as NVDA,Parent and second GTX 480 as NVDA,Child

and it worked in 10.7.2. Going to check in 10.6.8, will update the results.


Awesome! Thanks, that worked!

Re: GFX Strings - DUAL CARDS - How To
« Reply #404 on Mar 18, 2012, 9:45pm »
Hello guys,

First post. I'm from Venezuela.

I need help. I can't get my two 560 Ti to work together. My mobo is an EVGA P55 Micro and I use DSDT to get HDMI audio working.

When I plug the two cards together I can't boot. I don't get a KP, it just freezes and the hard drive led remains off. When using single cards either the top or bottom slot I can boot and have even HDMI audio. Full HW acceleration.

I tried ATY_init, NVEnabler, and all stuff with no luck. Graphics enabler detects my two cards almost properly. When using both cards, the second says that it has -4905 MB of memory. the first says 1024MB.

I don't know what to do. I only need the cards to boot. I only use one monitor but play heavy games on Windows. That's why I SLIed the cards.

Thanks in advance.

The route for my cards are P0P3 and P0P5 respectively.

Cheers!
