I recently installed the Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming card in my hackintosh, which until recently, was not supported by Yosemite 10.10.1.
It was a fairly easy process, but took a little extra effort than installing a supported card for OS X. I thought you folks that were having some trouble with the 970 might find some use in the process. Part 1- I started with a successful install of OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 on my computer. Boot loader is Chimera, installed with Mulibeast. Specs: i7 4790k Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD3H 16 Gigs Corsair Vengeance 1600 250 Samsung 840 EVO SSD OG GPU: Gigabyte GTX 760 Part 2- 1) The next step was downloading the unlocked Nvidia driver from mediafire, as seen After downloading the files, I shut down my computer. 2) I installed the new GTX 970 card and restarted, using the bootflag 'nv_disable=1' when given the option to in my bootloader. Without this, the startup bar froze halfway through loading into OS X, so this is a necessary step.
If this does not work than use '-x' 3) When I got into the Desktop, I opened the pre downloaded Nvidia Driver files and installed them. I also installed the graphics driver update that popped up after I had finished the installation.
Rebooted, using the same bootflag 'nv_disable=1' to get in. 4) I then went to Finder>Macintosh HD>Extra>org.chameleon.Boot.plist and opened it with TextEdit. I added the line: nvda_drv=1 under the line: Kernel Flags I already had a few other lines under the Kernel Flags line, but I simply added the nvda_drv=1 on its own line beneath it.
The final product looks like this: Kernel Flags nvda_drv=1 5) I then saved this, crossed every finger I have, and rebooted. I got a successful boot. The GTX 970 is working very well, and even the CUDA functionality was not compromised by the installation process. The card is also recognized by the System Profiler and the NVIDIA driver manager.
I was sure to turn the graphics to 'Nvidia web driver' in system prefs, as using 'OS X Default graphics Driver' resulted in some inconsistencies when booting up. As a side note, I had some trouble installing the GTX 760 when I first put together the machine. I ended up having to turn off the integrated graphics (HD 4600) in my CPU to force the system to use the graphics card instead. For some reason it kept defaulting back to the integrated graphics. This could probably be an issue with installing an unsupported card, so I would suggest turning off your CPU's graphics in the BIOS before starting to install a GTX 970, 980, 750ti, etc, or any GPU for that matter. Happy hackintoshing! EDIT: Formatting • • • • •.
Ok I just tried to change, there is a setting in my mobo (Asus z97Gryphon) under Onboard devices, changed the 'SPDIF Out' setting from SPDIF to HDMI. It still doesn't work.
I tried to reinstall the HDA kext with multibeast, but still nothing. You might try on yours tho.
I'm afraid I'm gonna stop my research for the hdmi audio to work, as I'll connect my amplifier through the jack out of the mobo, which works. Let me know if you can get it to work, I still want things to work as smooth as possible.
You may need to know about the details of your computer before attempting to install this system. Get your hardware details and compare the components with the list below. To get your hardware details, you can; - Install hwinfo64/32 on Windows and use it to export the hardware information (.txt,.htm or.log file). - Fire up a Linux Live CD and boot from it (ie. GParted Live CD, Ubuntu Live CD). Create lshw dump which includes detailed hardware information. - For OS X, download and run Processor (CPU): - 1st, 2nd (SandyBridge), 3rd (IvyBridge) and 4th generation (Haswell) Intel Core i series processors are supported including 2011 socket SandyBridge-E/EN/EP and IvyBridge-E/EN/EP Core i7/Xeon cpus.
Simply, Core2Duo / Pentium Dual-Core / Core2Quad / 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Generation Core i3, i5, i7, Pentium / Core i7 E series (2011 socket) / Xeon 3xxx, 5xxx, 6xxx, 7xxx, E3, E5, E7 processors are supported. - AMD processors are not supported. Motherboard: - Most of UEFI/Non-UEFI Intel chipset motherboards are supported. Simply, chipsets from 945G to C6xx are supported. Common chips are 945, 965, 975, G31, P35, G41, G43, P43, P45, P55, H55, X58, HM55, H61, HM65, HM67, QM67, H67, P67, Z68, Z77, H77, HM77, QM77, X79, H81, H87, Z87, HM87, QM87, Z97 and C6xx. South bridges from ICH5 to newest Intel 9 Series are supported. (ICH5-6-7-8-9-10, 5-6-7-8-9 Series) - Besides the main chipset model, a motherboard has many components.
Every component itself may or may not be compatible with Mac OS X. Also, BIOS of the motherboard may be problematic for this OS.
Because of these reasons, some motherboards will not be able to run this OS easily, they might need hard efforts in order you to make it work and some of them will never run it. Search google and try it on your computer. If a hardware is compatible with OSX86, then it is compatible with iATKOS, simple as this. Graphics (GPU): - Intel HD Graphics, HD 3000, HD 4000 and HD 5000 are supported, the rest are not. Download Free Scenario Rock Histrionics Rar File. HD 5000 driver supports HD 4200, HD 4400, HD 4600, HD 5000, HD 5100 (Iris) and HD 5200 (Iris Pro).
Not all of the supported Intel Graphics will work easily but most of them will. - nvidia vga cards from G80 core to the newest Maxwell series are supported on 10.9.1.
This does not mean that all of them will work of course but most of them will work with iATKOS M. Simply, nvidia 8xxx / 9xxx / 1xx / 2xx / 3xx / 4xx / 5xx / 6xx / 7xx cards are supported.
- About ATI, Mac OS X 10.9 and Clover bootloader gives us more hope and less pain about ATI support. Simply, ATI 7xxx/6xxx/5xxx/4xxx chipsets are supported but of course still more pain and less success comparing with nvidia. IATKOS M has some options for ATI's including device_id injection and framebuffer override packages to make more of the ATI cards work with less pain.
Still, many of the users may have to take some additional steps to use their ATI cards after installation. Network Devices: - Common wired and wireless network devices that are auto-detected by iATKOS M. There are incompatible/problematic chips but most of them will work OOB with iATKOS M. Wired: - Intel Gigabit and Intel Pro/100 - Realtek RTL8111, 8168, 8101E, 8102E, 8131E, 8169, 8110SC, 8169SC - Atheros AR8121, 8113, 8114, 8131, 8151, 8161, 8171, 8132, 8152, 8162, 8172, e2200/e2201/e2205 (killer) - Broadcom BCM5722, 5752, 5754, 5754M, 5755, 5755M, 5761, 5761e, 57780, 57781, 57785, 5784M, 5787, 5787M, 5906, 5906M, 57788, 5784M - Marvell 88E8035, 88E8036, 88E8038, 88E8039, 88E8056, 88E8001 Wireless: Some chips (ie.
Atheros ar5008, Broadcom BCM4311) are natively supported by OS X. So, this is not the complete wifi support list of OS X. - Atheros AR9285, 9287, 9227 - Broadcom BCM4312, 4321, 4322, 43224, 43225, 43227, 43228, 4352 (Some of these broadcom chips need rebranding in order to work on OS X.) RAM: - Recommended minimum amount of RAM is 2GB. Sound: - Sound device is auto-detected by iATKOS M and nearly all of the onboard sound devices are supported. Disk Space: - Recommended minimum amount of disk space for installation is 15GB. (Software RAID installation is supported and all operations are automated for all of the bootloaders.) Mostly, compatibility of a hardware can be defined by its chipset and device id, but this is not a rule.
Motherboards/VGA cards/other computers parts with same chipsets and device ids of different brands may have differences that can result with incompatibility. Therefore >Search and read before asking 'Will iATKOS M work on this hardware/computer?' If a hardware is absolutely not compatible with OSX86 10.9.1 (i.e. Broadcom BCM4313, Atheros AR5007, etc.), then it is also not compatible with iATKOS M.
