| Retail MSI X58 Platinum SLI + Pictures 64 BIT “Removed GraphicsEnabler and installed NVEnabler, put my device/vendor ID in NVDAN50HAL.kext on the IOPCIMatch key, boots fine, openCL benchmark is even a little higher. Still no full screen or resolution changing! I am afraid to change reso…” | Snow Leopard 10.6 | 2010-04-11 361,892 dossier reads |
| Retail MSI X58 Platinum SLI + Pictures 64 BIT “Changing resolutions or refresh rate causes an instant meltdown... This includes when an application tries to make itself full-screen, which is how I discovered this. Inteli- can you change your refresh rate/run full screen apps with NV?” | Snow Leopard 10.6 | 2010-04-11 361,892 dossier reads |
| Retail MSI X58 Platinum SLI + Pictures 64 BIT “Alright fully operational, I think. I had to go back and wipe out and reinstall mac os after trying to change the refresh rate- no amount of graphics mode command lines on boot caused it to do anything other than go static booting without -…” | Snow Leopard 10.6 | 2010-04-09 361,892 dossier reads |
| Retail MSI X58 Platinum SLI + Pictures 64 BIT “I have almost the same setup as many of you here, x58 Platinum / i7 920 / GTX260 / DDR3 1600mhz RAM.

| The "Unofficial" Empire EFI Support Thread “Also wanted to add that I tried booting using 1.085 and it shuts my computer down right before the OS loads. FIrst one that hasn't worked for me (other than the gtx260 issue, of course). I tried empire EFI per your suggestion in the other t…” | 10.X Core | 2010-04-08 328,874 dossier reads |
| Cannot change resolution/refresh rate gtx260 “I may not have added it to NVDAResman, come to think of it, as I only remember adding the device/vender ID to one kext. I will try that now. Edit: I'm sure now- NVDAResman info.plist still shows stock value for IOPCIMatch... let me update a…” | 10.X Core | 2010-04-12 3,519 dossier reads |
| Help: GTX260 on iPC Voodoo kernel “I am pretty sure that the gtx 2__ series cards were not supported in 10.5.x installations, which is why I held off until 10.6 was released to get osx86 running on my machine. gtx260's load up just fine with a recent version of graphics enab…” | 10.X Core | 2010-04-09 3,474 dossier reads |
