That card should work fine in a Hackintosh. When you get a card, send me the rom and I will change it into a Quadro! Cool thanks! |

I've just bought a 7600GT for my media center and I'm very impressed with it's performance. I think most new 7600GT ar shipping with G73 B1 cores. These clock faster and run cooler than the original G73 of the 7600GT. The card I bought has the B1 and is clocked at 650MHz. I haven't tried over clocking, the card is more than quick enough, but I guess it would go as high as 700MHz. I paid £45, but I wouldn't say you've been ripped off. That cooler looks trick. |

I paid £60. It was an impulse purchase I guess. I think it was the pregnant dogin cooler (!) that swung it for me. I'd like to keep my machine as quiet as possible (I'm running a silent 7300GT right now).
Also, not many of the 7600gt's seem to have dual DVI like this one. OK, I'm trying to justify it now. I should be honest. pregnant dogin cooler. Thats all.

Anyway, the card is installed and I'm pretty impressed..  Of course, the Powermac case wouldn't close anymore though! |

And I know it's a cop out but I took the bits out of the Sawtooth case and put them in one of these:  The 7600GT above was the main reason for the change (as the door wouldn't close grr!). Disappointed to lose the Sawtooth case but I'm liking this new one - it's all aluminium (so matches the Apple keyboard and Cinema Display) and everything fits inside with room to spare. It now idles a full ten degrees C cooler and doesn't go above 48 degrees C when running flat out (compared with previous 61 degrees C). |

hi aquamac, i read your post about using a 7900gtx using on a hackingtosh, and i also would like to use my 7900gtx in my hachingtosh snow. I read your methode but i can't find the code to change from 256 to 512. So I ask you if it's possible to change the code in the .rom file for me. You'll be my hero if you want to do it. my system: - asus a8n-sli premium - leadtek winfast px7900gtx extreme - osx snow 10.6.2 hazzard - about this mac: Type: GPU Bus: PCIe PCIe Lane Width: x8 VRAM (Total): 256 MB Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de) Device ID: 0x0290 Revision ID: 0x00a1 Displays: Display: Resolution: 1024 x 768 Pixel Depth: 32-Bit Color (ARGB8888) Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes the computer starts with the graphics card, but cant get quartz ect. I've backupped the card rom with nvflash, and is attached with this mail. Do you have enough info to make the changes in the rom? many thanx in advance, josje22 Attachments:

Using Arti's (of strangedogs fame) softstrap editor on the PC Does this part of art still exist? Or at least Gotoh's instructions to get 512Mb to work by editing the softstraps. I've been desperately searching for this for a while, unable to find anything. Not even in the download section of strangedogs. While all these "heroes" vanished from the (PPC) scene, their traces get harder to find each day. And Arti's own downloads as well as macvidia or Gotoh's nvinject-site are only part of history. In particular the softstrap editor would potentially be of great help for me to get some 512Mb PNY 6200 to work. Any help appreciated!  |
