[GUIDE] GeForce GTX 260 in Snow Leopard
Some of you may have noticed that after a fresh Snow Leopard install, when you try to boot your computer (with a GTX 260 card) you just get a black screen when everything has finished loading. Here's the easiest way to fix this issue and get your GTX 260 100% working with full QE/CI in Snow Leopard.
What you need: - This zip file of EFI strings - If your internet on the hackintosh isn't working, then you'll need a USB thumb drive to transfer over the necessary files
EDIT: The best part of this is that it will not be affected by updates, so you only do this once. |

THANK YOU! i was like freaking out becuase i thought i did somthing wrong and i kept like redoing this tutorial, tryig to fix it. Anyways, i did everything in the tut. And the last part just said "permission denied" on every thing. So I Judy manually typed sudo -s before everyone of the lines and rebooting and nothing happened! Still in ugly mode. What should I do? |
also, is this any different than usuing osx86 tools to get a efi string?
like i am looking to get FULL resolution on my snowleo/leo install all i get is like 1600xsomthing and not 1920? |
PCWIZ .... You rock.
Used your guide with RMFs correction went smooth. Now my Gigabyte EX58-UD5 has a fully working eVGA GTX 260 on Snow Leopard 10.6.1 Thanks so much guys. |
rohizzle121,
Try typing "sudo su" instead of "sudo -s" and then run the commands. RMF, thanks, fixed it in the main post :) |
i have the same probem (no screen output after boot) but with an asus gtx 275. Any chance you can help me out with that?
|
I've come to the point that i've removed all the NV files and now i can get into snow leopard. But is there anyway to generate a correct hex string for the gtx275 ?
|
thanks, it seems that worked for me on a nVidia GTX275
best regards |
