GTX 470 recognised but not working properly...:(

Hi

So ill start off with my system.
intel i7-970
12gb Ram
GA-EX58A-UD5 ver 2.0
palit gtx 470

I have got everything working after alot of man hours of anger and frustration. The only thing that has given me the most trouble has been my graphics card.

I have used the new Tony mac Nvidea drivers, i have also used your drivers aquamac , i have tried alot of things. But nothing seems to work. My Hackintosh recognises the Gtx 470 and works to a degree (the resolution is perfect on my apple 27inch monitor) but it seems the problem is the frame rate?, i asked around a little before, and someone suggested my card is in power save mode???

I used GL extension viewer to test the frames and Cinebench and they all come back with bad results ( for GL i got 260 max, ive seen people reach 5000 for the same VGA card)

Very unsure what im doing wrong. the card is not faulty because on the windows side it gets 5000frames in GL extension viewer.

Just wondering if anyone had similar problems and resolved them??? or maybe if i used a GFX string instead ?

Thanks in advanced.

Hi, Can you tell me, Is the menubar at the top of the screen transparent? What version of OSX are you using?

I FIXED IT

For anyone that is having similar problems.

I did it by editing AppleGraphicsPowerManagement.kext Info.plist and changed to:

<key>MacPro4,1</key>
<dict>
<key>Vendor10deDevice06cd</key>
<dict>

Device ID for GTX 470 is 6cd. This will enable proper power management.

(to open a kext you right click and open package contents)
