EVGA GTX 285 2GB Edition - Minus 2048Mb Error Help

[macwynn]

Hi there...

Searched for over four hours, tried various solutions, injectors, etc. all to no avail.

EVGA GTX 285 with 2Gb, everything works except Pro Apps can't see the right VRAM.

Any help would be appreciated. The on;y thing I haven't tried is editing the plist VRAM size because I can't locate the hex value for 2048.

I have even tried the 1024 setting with a boot.plist string and it reports 1024 in System Profiler but still sees it as -2048 in Final Cut.

Suggestions?

BTW aquamac, AWESOME job on the Hac Pro in the Mac Pro case! My beast will be ready to show off soon but the case and 3 way card setup has me beat, Not by too much tho.

thanks in advance....

Hi Macwynn,

I have had a go at a GFX String reporting 2048 mb of memory here from you, please go here to test and let me know how it goes.

Is there any hope or should I trade the card for 1gb version?

Hi everybody,

This problem is solved for me with le OSX 10.6.5 combo update + latest multibeast DSDT or Easybeast + latest tonymacx86 nvidia update + reboot ! Do not reboot between each step, do all the same time and reboot, it worked for me !

The thing is that I made that to make my GTX 580 working... but it doesn't work, but for my GTX 285 2048 MB, it works like a charm now...

I didn't buy the 580 only to solve this problem, but it was one point.
When I connect my GTX 580, it boots until I can see a black screen with greys artifacts in the top of the screen. I think that Mac OSX works exept of the display...

Anyone have an idea ?
I would be happy, thanks in advance !
