Not, i’m not able to switch the Intel GPU off, but i can switch off the nVidia GPU by modded bios. I have setted all and configured all and now i’m able to open dvd player, photoshop and other big programs bro.

I’m about to start this for my GA-Z77X-UP5 TH so that I can use GraphicsEnabler=no with my GTX570. Currently the motherboard doesn’t need a DSDT to run but I figured I’d extract one using the code on your other post. Can you see any potential problems doing this? Might the addition of the DSDT break some things that previously worked?
I tried, but was a bit unsure what to do with the errors in compile, the resulting DSDT made a KP on reboot.
I managed to get it working however by using a plist someone had made for a 560ti and created a device-properties string for the org.chameleon.Boot.plist
Everything was fully working after that… Until I tried the 10.8.3 combo update…
Have you had any success with the 5xx in 10.8.3?
hmm .. couldn’t reply at the bottom for some reason.
Thanks for the advice about the efi strings, I’ll persevere with the DSDT. I presume errors in compile should not happen and if they do I’ve made an error in the editing? Is that correct?
Do all cards work fully in 10.8.3? eg, opencl, cuda, and opengl in photoshop / after effects?
Thanks
I am running ML with the AsRock Extreme 6 DSDT from your site and when I went to edit the DSDT for PCI0 it had a lot of extra devices such as something with USB anyway I added (copy / pasted) the text required from above and after a reboot I get “System uptime in nanoseconds” hangs. I have tried -x GraphicsEnabler=Yes but it still hangs. I’m going to reinstall but do you have any suggestions why it died?
I must be missing something here. I open IORegistryEplorer and go to /AppleACPIPlatformExport/PCI… and on my screen there is only one PCIx@x which is PIC0@0. I then open DSDT Editor and look for Device PCI0 on the list to the left. Once I find “Device (PCI0)” I find the last } for “Device (PCI0)” and past the text just before the last }. but if I expand the Device PCI0 on the left I get about 50 other devices under it. Such as PEX0, PEX1, PEX2, SAT0… my guess is that the PEXn are the PCI express ports on my mother board.
Am I missing a step? Also thanks for the “DSDT=No” tip.
Well I think I know when I am in over my head… and I’m in over my head. Based on several forums it looks like I would have to know the address and other information about the video card.. not to mention that I don’t even know where to paste the information even if I had it. Like would it go under Device PCI0 or is it at the same level as the Device (PCI0) in the list? I think I’m going to search the Internet to see if someone already has a DSDT with my Nvidia 570 inside it so I can see the overall layout. Anyway I do thank you for the help and your vanilla DSDT for the AsRock Extreme 6 is working fine for now.
Hi,
I am just trying this guide, but for me it fails at looking up the card. Some help please? Even when searching for GFX, Nvidia, GTX or 580, no results.
The hardware is a GTX 580 + ASUS P8Z77-V PRO.
Do I need to install a GFX driver or something for this to work?
Sorry, don’t quite get it. Should I physically change ALL the GFX0 to IGPU? And ALL PEGP to GFX0… etc?
Sorry if this is a stupid question… I’m quite new at DSDT editing, and not a programmer.
Ok, to be clear, in my original DSDT.aml, I should find all GFX0 and change them to IGPU. Correct? And then also the rest two.
I guess the worst thing that can happen is a KP 😉
Should I now reboot before making an edit, so the IOReg displays it correctly? Without doing the edit, because right now, I have no idea where really to put the edit in…?
Alright, thought that might be the issue, however, when I remove it, it says _ADR already exists in the scope.
I guess the right thing would be to remove the Zero one, and leave the one with Name (_ADR, 0xFFFF)?
So in the end it looks like this:
Device (PEGP)
{
Name (_ADR, 0x00010000)
Method (_PRT, 0, NotSerialized)
{
If (PICM)
{
Return (AR02 ())
}
Return (PR02 ())
}
Device (GFX0)
{
Name (_ADR, 0xFFFF)
Name (_SUN, One)
Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)
{
Store (Package (0x1E)
{
“AAPL,slot-name”,
“PCI x16”,
…
First of all I would like to say a big thank you for all of you informative info every where on the net. I have been trying for some time to solve an issue with my graphics card not being recognised as being in slot 1 instead of J6B1. I have followed this DSDT edit and now my GTX 560Ti is working without graphics injection from Clover v1888. I have try’d DSDT edit to set PCI root to UID 0
Device (PCI0)
{
Name (_HID, EisaId (“PNP0A08”))
Name (_CID, EisaId (“PNP0A03”))
Name (_ADR, Zero)
Name (_UID, Zero)
Name (_BBN, Zero)
But this had no effect, I have try’d using the set PCI root UID 0 in clover but I just can’t seem to get it to work can you help?
Hello Rampagedev. I have the GA-Z77-DS3H board, no DSDT required, however, I have a GTX 550ti and would very much like to use the cards HDMI audio output. Using the premade patches on the Gigabyte patch repository I get hdmi audio working great, however it doesnt wake the card properly on sleep. So applying your patch works great to fix the wake from sleep, however, when I use your patch, I dont get HDMI audio output in system preferences. Any help would be fantastic.
No DSDT needed…. one of the biggest lies there is… back on topic. You need a clean DSDT edited not just generic patches that are for LGA 755 applied to your board.
Sounds like your not adding the proper edit at the right location with my edit.
I tried making a fresh DSDT and I get everything working. When I go to install your edits using MacIASL, the error log while compiling shows 1 Error but doesnt say what it is. Also, when I copy the contents and paste it into DSDT Editor to try that one it also doesnt show anything in the error log, but when I go to save it, it says there was an error compiling the file.
I wish I could edit my comments. The error that didnt show up in the compiler summary was error 6126: Input file does not appear to be an ASL or data table source file.
I have nvidia GT 330 and 10.8.5. before i had 10.7.4 and DSTD for working graphics.
Now I forgot what changes i made to dsdt.aml with 10.7, it was few years back.
I upgarded to 10.8 using ur method but i am not getting the graphics acceleration.
My graphics enabler is No and have no kext with NV in my S/L/E.
Plz can u guide how to begin with..
Hello Rampage, I have a newly buit system using a Gigabyte Z77X-UP7 core i7 3770k w/ Quadro fx5800 (4gb), as well as a Tesla c1060 (4gb). While my sytemis up, running and functional; the Tesla does not seem to be detected at all, and the Quadro is questionable as to it truly being detected correctly. It says 0mb for graphics memory. These are somewhat older (though still very good) cards; so I thought I would ask if this solution you have shown would work with these cards.
I just noticed your last reply to my comment; I have sent a reply with attachment; but not 100% certain it will get through. I don’t see any option to attach files here in the comments.
I’ve been trying now for half a day of rebooting and DSDT edits to enable my MSI GTX 560 Ti Hawk edition 1GB to work without GraphicsEnabler=Yes.
So I have my own edited DSDT for my build which works completely with every component I have and all the features like sleep, wake on ethernet..etc are working too!
Down here is a copy of my current IOReg and DSDT. In IOReg you’ll see that my edits are visible, that’s why I don’t know what else am I missing or doing wrong!
What I can’t seem to get sorted out is the Fermi Freeze, I’ve tried all there is everywhere but nothing works for me! Already edited AGPM.kext and I’m on MacPro5,1 and using freezefix app but to no avail!
Hey. I’ve been using your guides to put together my first system. Thanks for all your hard work! I’m trying get my GTS 250 working with DSDT edits. I was sent here by another forum. Would this method also work for my graphics card?
Hey, so much like someone else who commented (Goroth), In my IOregistry it my NVIDIA stuff is located under PCI0x0 and in the DSDT i see what he was reporting under Device (PCI0) which you say means my device is not in the DSDT. My question is would this have anything to do with the fact that my card is reported as unrecognized in the system info? Also, is there anyway to get the device recognized as in another pci slot to avoid programming and coding/ do you have any info on how to do that?
I tried adding your example code to under heading Device (PCI0) but it doesn’t seem to be working. This is probably wrong, where (under what heading) should I insert your code.
Also, I took the liberty of updating the NVCAP with the NVCAP i found in the IOregistry under display,0 on top of the cosmetic changes you instructed. Do I need to make any other changes to the code?
Hello, after following your steps my card is reported as “Display 3 MB” in system information. As well it doesn’t seem like QE/CI is enabled either. What would you recommend?
Hello. So I redid everything and now the right information is showing up in the “About This Mac” and “System information” (Your tutorial is awesome). Unfortunately, it still does not seem like the graphics card is fully functional. I still cannot change the resolution of the monitor nor do i see that QE/CI is enabled. What would you recommend from here?
So while I can get this info to show up in system info, would the fact that I’m not getting QE/CI or the ability to change my resolution be related to the fact that I do not have NVDAResman or NVDAResmanTesla kext installed? I can’t boot or install maverick if they’re installed.
I got my GTX580 working with your fix without having to boot with GraphicsEnabler=Yes!
However wake from sleep isn’t working, the fans and everything spin up but the display stays black and after a few minutes the system reboots itself.
sorry to ask again.my gpu’s 2nd DP is not working with mac.. so that means it’s not a gpu issue or bootloader issue right? i think i have seen an option in bios to disable the intel gpu.. i’ll try with your guide…..thanxx a lot…….
Maybe but I’m only using one dvi and the one hdmi… It’s weird. When I use GE=y even if my second monitor is off, OSX recognizes it, I have to physically unplug it to keep the mouse from going to the turned off screen. Hoping GE=no will help.
sir, my gpu is quadro 600. it has a dual link dvi port and a DP port. DP port is not working with mac but works fine on windows. during mac installation DP port works. but when installation is done and desktop loads DP port goes blank and only dvi port works after that… tried, chimera, clover and chameleon. all give same result. sir do you have any idea what i might be doing wrong or what is actually causing my DP to go off after installation?? im using a distro of mountain lion 10.8.5. is there any way i could get my gpu fully functional coz i neeed dual display or should i opt another gpu?
my specs are, mobo- asus maximus vi extreme, i7 4770k, quadro 600gpu, antec 550w psu, gskill 20gb ram…
also i created a dsdt using the script you have provided in your guide to follow with this nv inject guide. but with dsdt editor it gives compilation error…
I have stupid question. I did follow this tutorial. My specs:OS X10.9.1, Asus Rampage Extreme III with two Nvidia GTX 580 (EVGA and ASUS). I added your lines to NPE3 and NPE7 section and change the memory to x60 (both cards have 1.5GB RAM). I compiled the DSDT, get some warnings but no errors. Disabled the g-enabler, put the DSDT.aml to Extras, rebooted and get black screens. What i’m trying to get is that second card showing only 1mb Vram. Is there something else I have to do?
Hello,
I’ve exactly the same issue with my P9X79 Deluxe and my Quadro 4000. Here my files in case you want to help me. (Or just let me know if I can do anything myself, I doesn’t want to abuse…)
rampagedev , I’m using the your tutorial to inject my GTX 590 in my DSDT , But when I try to boot with patched DSDT I get a KP . If you can help me I will make a donation
Will this edit work with a GTX660? Should be working, but using ALC892 patched kext from Toleda, and HDAEnabler1.kext – the only way I can get any sound. Will this patch above work with this card (and my custom DSDT)?
PS. DSDT may not be being used at this point, need to know the possibility of this working before trying such an edit. Computer works perfectly fine without DSDT (except HDMI).
Hi there,
I’m wondering if this workflow might work for my Dell Precision M4600 laptop which has both the Intel HD3000 graphics plus a discrete Nvidia Quadro 1000M (uses optimus switching). The only option in bios is to turn off all optimus functionality, which to my understanding on Dell systems disables the integrated graphics. I have that scenario running and am able to use the Nvidia card (GraphicsEnabler=Yes, Enable Backlight=Yes). However, even though everything seems to work almost perfect in 10.9.4, I am getting some graphic glitchiness (especially when clicking the Launchpad, using Safari, and sometimes just scrolling in windows).
So I guess my 2 questions are would this possibly work for my system and would it yield any better benefits than what I’m currently seeing?
Hi, I have an HP Elitebook 8770w with only an Nvidia Quadro K5000M. Been trying to get graphics acceleration to work, but I’m getting nowhere here. I’m using Clover, with Inject NVIDIA and Inject EDID = True. Whenever it loads the NVIDIA kexts, about 3 seconds after that it reboots. With nv_disable=1 I was able to boot into it with no QE/CI. The Nvidia GPU is located at PCI0.PEGP.DGFX of an SSDT. The original GPU’s SSDT.AML file is very buggy ( 26 errors with MacIASL, ACPI 5.0 ). Also tried the Nvidia Web Driver, it glitched and stuck after loading the Nvidia kexts. Can you give me a hint on this ?
In short, here’s how I have tried it: set Inject Nvidia and Inject EDID = False, first with vanilla driver, instant reboot; with nvidia web driver, it glitched and can’t boot into OS X
So I finally got my second Nvidia GTX 780 card recognized using GraphicsEnabler=yes. however this totally disables HDMI. Now my problem is that I have one monitor on DVI input but the second monitor is not recognized at all (HDMI or DVI). The card in PCI slot 1 is recognized but If I hook anything up to it, the card doesn’t find any monitor. Any suggestions.
I am helping to a friend mine for built his first hackintosh with this configuration
CPU: Intel core 2 Quad 8300
Motherboard: Asus P5QC with the BIOS updated to last version available
Graphics Card: XFX nVidia GT 8400 Gs DDR2 512 Mb
Bootloader: Clover last version
SMBIOS: Configured as a MacPro 3,1
O.S.: Mac OS X 10.8.5
My question is if exists the possibility of get a better performance on the graphic card
Actually I am using the nVidia injection way Clover
Hi ramapagedev and comunity, I want to connect 2 monitors, work at full capacity but only 1 monitor, when i connect the second monitor via displayport to vga the system crash . (In windows work fine) u think is possible work with Quadro FX 580, osx 10.7.3 with customize DSDT? thank you

This is valid for Notebook with Optimus+Cuda graphics card? I have Intel HD/nVidia GT 540M with 2GB of memory.
If you can not turn off in the bios the intel GPU you are wasting your time.
Not, i’m not able to switch the Intel GPU off, but i can switch off the nVidia GPU by modded bios. I have setted all and configured all and now i’m able to open dvd player, photoshop and other big programs bro.
Switching it off will save you power. You will just have to make do with the intel GPU.

You need to read the guide. It says that your address may be different.

Works great on ga-ex58-ud5 and gtx580-3gb! Any way to modify code to allow PCIe 2.0 speed on Mountain Lion (10.8.2)? Stuck at 1.0 speed.
Has nothing to do with OS X. Motherboard issue.
Apparently, System Profiler and IO Explorer reporting on this is just cosmetic. Benchmarks are proving to be linked at 5.0GT/s.
I’m about to start this for my GA-Z77X-UP5 TH so that I can use GraphicsEnabler=no with my GTX570. Currently the motherboard doesn’t need a DSDT to run but I figured I’d extract one using the code on your other post. Can you see any potential problems doing this?

You are doing something wrong with the edit and to your other question they do work fine.
I am running ML with the AsRock Extreme 6 DSDT from your site and when I went to edit the DSDT for PCI0 it had a lot of extra devices such as something with USB anyway I added (copy / pasted) the text required from above and after a reboot I get “System uptime in nanoseconds” hangs. I have tried -x GraphicsEnabler=Yes but it still hangs. I’m going to reinstall but do you have any suggestions why it died?
You did not place the edit where the addressing for it was. Follow the IOreg.
DSDT=No should get you back in.
I must be missing something here. I open IORegistryEplorer and go to /AppleACPIPlatformExport/PCI… and on my screen there is only one PCIx@x which is PIC0@0. I then open DSDT Editor and look for Device PCI0 on the list to the left.

Hi,
I am just trying this guide, but for me it fails at looking up the card. Some help please? Even when searching for GFX, Nvidia, GTX or 580, no results.
The hardware is a GTX 580 + ASUS P8Z77-V PRO.
Do I need to install a GFX driver or something for this to work?
And now also the shot, forgot it, sorry:
Start clean. Change in the DSDT Prior to any edits:
GFX0 = IGPU
PEGP = GFX0
PEG0 = PEGP
Once you changed the names then the Edit will make sense. Your PEGP really is your GFX0. Common with your brand on MB.
Sorry, don’t quite get it. Should I physically change ALL the GFX0 to IGPU? And ALL PEGP to GFX0… etc?
Sorry if this is a stupid question… I’m quite new at DSDT editing, and not a programmer.
Yes, Change the names prior to editing the DSDT for the Nvidia card. I do this all the time and I know it will work.
Ok, to be clear, in my original DSDT.aml, I should find all GFX0 and change them to IGPU. Correct? And then also the rest two.
I guess the worst thing that can happen is a KP 😉
Ok did what you said. Replaced all, did the edit, exactly as on the page and still no go, black screen at boot.
Should I now reboot before making an edit, so the IOReg displays it correctly? Without doing the edit, because right now, I have no idea where really to put the edit in…?
Is this how it’s now supposed to be?
You need to remove the other GFX0 under PEGP. Thats blocking the code from loading.
________________________________
Alright, thought that might be the issue, however, when I remove it, it says _ADR already exists in the scope.
I guess the right thing would be to remove the Zero one, and leave the one with Name (_ADR, 0xFFFF)?

And success! Thanks for helping me out, much appreciated 😉
Enjoy. And don’t forget to consider a donation. Your DSDT is upgrade proof at least for the GPU.

Hello rampagedev
First of all I would like to say a big thank you for all of you informative info every where on the net. I have been trying for some time to solve an issue with my graphics card not being recognised as being in slot 1 instead of J6B1. I have followed this DSDT edit and now my GTX 560Ti is working without graphics injection from Clover v1888. I have try’d DSDT edit to set PCI root to UID 0
Device (PCI0)
{
Name (_HID, EisaId (“PNP0A08”))
Name (_CID, EisaId (“PNP0A03”))
Name (_ADR, Zero)
Name (_UID, Zero)
Name (_BBN, Zero)
But this had no effect, I have try’d using the set PCI root UID 0 in clover but I just can’t seem to get it to work can you help?
This is the top part of the code to change the slot name:
Device (GFX0)
{
Name (_ADR, Zero)
Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)
{
Store (Package (0x28)
{
“AAPL,slot-name”,
Buffer (0x07)

Change:
Store (Package (0×28)
As needed.
Thank you rampage dev and sorry for my slow response have been away and then really busy with work is all working now as I want thanks again
going to install a Quadro K-5000 soon. it would rock if both the K-5000 AND Titan will work together.
With the K5000 you might be disappointed. Both cards will work side by side. No need for DSDT injection unless you want HDMI audio.
vendor allowed return of Titan…didn’t want to do it but it wouldn’t work with Adobe AE RayTracing…K5000 isn’t as sexy but it’s compatible.

I wish I could edit my comments. The error that didnt show up in the compiler summary was error 6126: Input file does not appear to be an ASL or data table source file.
Alright, scratch all that, I just got it compiled and rebooted. The system boots fine with GE=No, however, I dont have hdmi audio or video out.
Email me the IOreg and DSDT and I will see what you did.
Also list what MB. Thanks.
So what was wrong? I also lost hdmi Video trying to add hdmi Audio out when when using this method.
What GPU? Your not telling me everything…
I am attempting to do this with a Quadro 4000 (for Mac) but the Displayport does not seem to be working with this edit. Only the DVI is working.
Should the “@0, Connector-type” be changed to reflect that one of them is a Displayport, not a DVI? Is that even what that portion does?
Thanks!
This code was generated from a Quadro 4000 and works with that card… Only 2 ports on the card work. Thats it and its not a user choice which 2 do.
I am using the Quadro 4000 for Mac from PNY, so it only has two ports. A DVI and a Displayport.
I take it this was generated from a Quadro 4000 for PC then?
No, how would I reverse engineer it from a PC version? lol It was from a Mac version. Does it work fine with GE?

You need modded kexts for your GPU for ML. See OSXL site.
what osxl site ?
Use Google. 🙂 Your question is very silly.
Does it work with Geforce G310M on Sony Vaio VPCS135FG running Marvericks?
I think this method same at Inject Nvidia from clover bootloader
You need modded drivers.
hi rampage what method can i use to get full working nvidia gts 450 1 gb in mavericks?¿ thanks good job your wordpress
Same method as shown.
Hello Rampage, I have a newly buit system using a Gigabyte Z77X-UP7 core i7 3770k w/ Quadro fx5800 (4gb), as well as a Tesla c1060 (4gb). While my sytemis up, running and functional; the Tesla does not seem to be detected at all, and the Quadro is questionable as to it truly being detected correctly. It says 0mb for graphics memory. These are somewhat older (though still very good) cards; so I thought I would ask if this solution you have shown would work with these cards.
Forgot to mention I am using Clover . . .
Get rid of clover.
Email me a IOreg.
I just noticed your last reply to my comment; I have sent a reply with attachment; but not 100% certain it will get through. I don’t see any option to attach files here in the comments.

Disregard my last comment, already got it sorted out, thanks for your awesome guide
Good. 🙂
What I can’t seem to get sorted out is the Fermi Freeze, I’ve tried all there is everywhere but nothing works for me! Already edited AGPM.kext and I’m on MacPro5,1 and using freezefix app but to no avail!
Hey. I’ve been using your guides to put together my first system. Thanks for all your hard work! I’m trying get my GTS 250 working with DSDT edits. I was sent here by another forum. Would this method also work for my graphics card?
Yes
Hey, so much like someone else who commented (Goroth), In my IOregistry it my NVIDIA stuff is located under PCI0x0 and in the DSDT i see what he was reporting under Device (PCI0) which you say means my device is not in the DSDT. My question is would this have anything to do with the fact that my card is reported as unrecognized in the system info? Also, is there anyway to get the device recognized as in another pci slot to avoid programming and coding/ do you have any info on how to do that?
thanks,
Sheylan
If it’s not in the DSDT then you add the whole code in the Example.
I tried adding your example code to under heading Device (PCI0) but it doesn’t seem to be working. This is probably wrong, where (under what heading) should I insert your code.
Also, I took the liberty of updating the NVCAP with the NVCAP i found in the IOregistry under display,0 on top of the cosmetic changes you instructed. Do I need to make any other changes to the code?
Just realized I could share a link from my drop box. Thanks again for your help.

The edit you made was not correct.
Hello, this method works with a gtx760 and Mavericks?. Excellent guide.
Card works OOB so no.
Hello, after following your steps my card is reported as “Display 3 MB” in system information. As well it doesn’t seem like QE/CI is enabled either. What would you recommend?
Thanks
Post a ioreg.
I have my ioreg saved, how do I post it here? I saw your post about emailing it too. Would you prefer I email it (if so what email address)?
Thanks
Hello. So I redid everything and now the right information is showing up in the “About This Mac” and “System information” (Your tutorial is awesome). Unfortunately, it still does not seem like the graphics card is fully functional. I still cannot change the resolution of the monitor nor do i see that QE/CI is enabled. What would you recommend from here?
Thanks!
So while I can get this info to show up in system info, would the fact that I’m not getting QE/CI or the ability to change my resolution be related to the fact that I do not have NVDAResman or NVDAResmanTesla kext installed? I can’t boot or install maverick if they’re installed.
Hi,
I got my GTX580 working with your fix without having to boot with GraphicsEnabler=Yes!
However wake from sleep isn’t working, the fans and everything spin up but the display stays black and after a few minutes the system reboots itself.
Did I miss something?
Thanks for your awesome work!
does tho method work with chimera? my mobo is asus maximus vi extreme. gnu nvidia quadro -600. cpu has intel hd-4000 inbuilt graphics.
If you can not turn off Intel GPU in the BIOS there is nothing you can do.
sorry to ask again.my gpu’s 2nd DP is not working with mac.. so that means it’s not a gpu issue or bootloader issue right? i think i have seen an option in bios to disable the intel gpu.. i’ll try with your guide…..thanxx a lot…….
Mac issue.
I have a 560ti and lost hdmi video trying to get audio. I had video using GE=Yes before, Used GE=No after this method. Nothing.
Only 2 ports work with that card under Mac OS X. Is that your issue?
Maybe but I’m only using one dvi and the one hdmi… It’s weird. When I use GE=y even if my second monitor is off, OSX recognizes it, I have to physically unplug it to keep the mouse from going to the turned off screen. Hoping GE=no will help.
Nope. Limitation of the driver. Use the other DVI port.
sir, my gpu is quadro 600. it has a dual link dvi port and a DP port. DP port is not working with mac but works fine on windows. during mac installation DP port works. but when installation is done and desktop loads DP port goes blank and only dvi port works after that… tried, chimera, clover and chameleon. all give same result. sir do you have any idea what i might be doing wrong or what is actually causing my DP to go off after installation?? im using a distro of mountain lion 10.8.5. is there any way i could get my gpu fully functional coz i neeed dual display or should i opt another gpu?
my specs are, mobo- asus maximus vi extreme, i7 4770k, quadro 600gpu, antec 550w psu, gskill 20gb ram…
also i created a dsdt using the script you have provided in your guide to follow with this nv inject guide. but with dsdt editor it gives compilation error…
Can this method fix the nVidia fermi freeze?
Unrelated.
Thank you, i thought that using a different type of injection i could also fix that problem
I have stupid question. I did follow this tutorial. My specs:OS X10.9.1, Asus Rampage Extreme III with two Nvidia GTX 580 (EVGA and ASUS). I added your lines to NPE3 and NPE7 section and change the memory to x60 (both cards have 1.5GB RAM). I compiled the DSDT, get some warnings but no errors. Disabled the g-enabler, put the DSDT.aml to Extras, rebooted and get black screens. What i’m trying to get is that second card showing only 1mb Vram. Is there something else I have to do?
thanks,

Post a link to the files (DSDT and IOreg).
Sorry for the delay. Here are the files:

Hello,
I’ve exactly the same issue with my P9X79 Deluxe and my Quadro 4000. Here my files in case you want to help me. (Or just let me know if I can do anything myself, I doesn’t want to abuse…)

rampagedev , I’m using the your tutorial to inject my GTX 590 in my DSDT , But when I try to boot with patched DSDT I get a KP . If you can help me I will make a donation
My ioreg,DSDT :https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28558174/Arquivo%20Comprimido.zip
You need a special DSDT edit for that card.
Why don’t answer me.Whether you want a put DSDT for HD 4000.
Thanks!!!@rampagedev
?
Please Help Me, I had KP after try your tips. this my DSDT n Ioreg. I have Toshiba Qosmio F60 with CPU i7, GPU Nvidia GT 330M.

Thanks before.
Will this edit work with a GTX660? Should be working, but using ALC892 patched kext from Toleda, and HDAEnabler1.kext – the only way I can get any sound. Will this patch above work with this card (and my custom DSDT)?
PS. DSDT may not be being used at this point, need to know the possibility of this working before trying such an edit. Computer works perfectly fine without DSDT (except HDMI).
Hi there,
I’m wondering if this workflow might work for my Dell Precision M4600 laptop which has both the Intel HD3000 graphics plus a discrete Nvidia Quadro 1000M (uses optimus switching). The only option in bios is to turn off all optimus functionality, which to my understanding on Dell systems disables the integrated graphics. I have that scenario running and am able to use the Nvidia card (GraphicsEnabler=Yes, Enable Backlight=Yes). However, even though everything seems to work almost perfect in 10.9.4, I am getting some graphic glitchiness (especially when clicking the Launchpad, using Safari, and sometimes just scrolling in windows).
So I guess my 2 questions are would this possibly work for my system and would it yield any better benefits than what I’m currently seeing?
Thanks in advance for any assistance!
If you can not disable the Intel GPU in the BIOS you can’t use the Nvidia card.
Hi, I have an HP Elitebook 8770w with only an Nvidia Quadro K5000M. Been trying to get graphics acceleration to work, but I’m getting nowhere here. I’m using Clover, with Inject NVIDIA and Inject EDID = True. Whenever it loads the NVIDIA kexts, about 3 seconds after that it reboots. With nv_disable=1 I was able to boot into it with no QE/CI. The Nvidia GPU is located at PCI0.PEGP.DGFX of an SSDT. The original GPU’s SSDT.AML file is very buggy ( 26 errors with MacIASL, ACPI 5.0 ). Also tried the Nvidia Web Driver, it glitched and stuck after loading the Nvidia kexts. Can you give me a hint on this ?
That card does not need injection. Try the retail drivers. Else you may need to use a patch to change your Device ID.
Thanks for the fast response, can you be more specific about changing Device ID ? The retail driver also gives me the reboot
Retail driver?
In short, here’s how I have tried it: set Inject Nvidia and Inject EDID = False, first with vanilla driver, instant reboot; with nvidia web driver, it glitched and can’t boot into OS X
Oh okay I found the solution. Using Chameleon with vanilla driver, delete all Tesla related drivers and I got it to work with GraphicsEnabler=No
So I finally got my second Nvidia GTX 780 card recognized using GraphicsEnabler=yes. however this totally disables HDMI. Now my problem is that I have one monitor on DVI input but the second monitor is not recognized at all (HDMI or DVI). The card in PCI slot 1 is recognized but If I hook anything up to it, the card doesn’t find any monitor. Any suggestions.
Completly wring. You need slot injection not gpu i jection! Youvin the wrong guide!
well where do I need to go and what should I do?
Hello Rampagedev
I am helping to a friend mine for built his first hackintosh with this configuration
CPU: Intel core 2 Quad 8300
Motherboard: Asus P5QC with the BIOS updated to last version available
Graphics Card: XFX nVidia GT 8400 Gs DDR2 512 Mb
Bootloader: Clover last version
SMBIOS: Configured as a MacPro 3,1
O.S.: Mac OS X 10.8.5
My question is if exists the possibility of get a better performance on the graphic card
Actually I am using the nVidia injection way Clover
Thanks in advanced
Hi ramapagedev and comunity, I want to connect 2 monitors, work at full capacity but only 1 monitor, when i connect the second monitor via displayport to vga the system crash . (In windows work fine) u think is possible work with Quadro FX 580, osx 10.7.3 with customize DSDT? thank you
That is not supported under mac os x. Buy a newer card or use a diffrent port.
