Paul Huynh · Aug 22, 2011

uninstalled 8 reinstalled 7.1, works again. hehe

Wayne Chiang · Aug 22, 2011

WOW!! SO COOL!!

Do you have test one GTX590 ? How many Node blur 100% with 1080p Prores422HQ ?

thanks

Tony Bacak · Aug 22, 2011

big thumbs up to luigi ( can render now on 3 gfx480!!!!
cooling the cards is still a wild one over here - but it works
can use the cudas in paralell for rendering in octane renderer ( high speed )
please make gtx590 driver available - 3 cards and we go to the moon

best ones
tony

hi ,
in this moment guyssss not have a time for HACK, i have much work for television.
The problem of gtx 590 is dual gpu in 1 pcb , 1 is recognize vga compatiblen and second is recognize 3D controller and driver no upload for second GPu....
but i work for this. But step by step i found solution... only time....

LSPCI:
04:00.0 3D controller: nVidia Corporation Unknown device 1088 (rev a1)
04:00.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation GF110 High Definition Audio Controller (rev a1)
05:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Unknown device 1088 (rev a1)
05:00.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation GF110 High Definition Audio Controller (rev a1)

Ermac have added to chameleon id of gpu

chameleon Trunk:
{ 0x10DE1054, "GeForce GT 410M" },
{ 0x10DE1056, "NVS 4200M" },
{ 0x10DE1057, "NVS 4200M" },
{ 0x10DE107F, "NVIDIA GF119-ES" },
{ 0x10DE1080, "GeForce GTX 580" },
{ 0x10DE1081, "GeForce GTX 570" },
{ 0x10DE1082, "GeForce GTX 560 Ti" },
{ 0x10DE1083, "D13U" },
{ 0x10DE1086, "GeForce GTX 570" },
{ 0x10DE1088, "GeForce GTX 590" },
// 1090 - 109F

I was wondering if it perhaps might be a better idea with using EFI strings?
It should be possible for the installer to detect the cards through ioreg and generate a EFI string on the fly. I could never get the DSDT file to work, but with the right EFI string everything (atleast the graphic cards) works perfect.

I might be able to whip up a quick python script for doing that...

I am very grateful for the professional work for "Mac-Asus-Supercomputer team" Very big thanks to the excellent work of Luigi! My Davinci system works so brilliantly....

Intel Core I7-970 on +4,0GhHz.
3-Gigabyte GTX-470
12Gb Ram
Redrocket-card
Highpoint Raid

some new.......

my frined Jose Lomena test NETSTOR NA250N in Hackintosh whit 3 gtx 480 this is result:

Netstor NA250A
- PCI expander with 4 pcie x8 + 2 pcie x4 slots
- 40gbps host pcie x8 v2. 2 meters cable
- up to 4x gtx480

- setup with:
2x gtx480
1x. Decklink multibridge
1x sonnet e4p
2x free slots (for redrocket)

My hackintosh...gigabyte i7 980x, 24gb with:
1x ati 5770 for monitors
1x host Na250a
1x gtx480

Candle Test resuls with resolve8 and 3 gpu gtx480

V1 2 nodes : 24 fps
V2 4 nodes : 24 fps
V3 6 nodes : 24 fps
V4 12 nodes :24 fps
V4-x2 24 nodes: 21fps
V5 NR 4 : 24 fps
V6 NR 3 : 24 fps
V7 NR 2: 24 fps
V8 NR 1 : 12 fps

I remember you Kernel osx support max 4 GPU.
Next test Jose use NETSTOR whit MAC PRO and 4 gtx 480... waiting result.. this is possible solution for real MAC.
If this work i post here solution.

thanks
Luigi

ciao Jimmy,
nice your idea

if you want to make in python perfect,What you need to do?

Sounds great!

I also decided to build a similar system, though it is almost impossible to find new GTX 470 cards; most I found are second hand and coming from intense gamers, probably from smoke filled rooms...

The issue is that one needs 3 identical cards for a working rig and if one fails, things will go pear shape big time, especially if in the middle of project, or client session.

@ Luigi,

I know you are very busy, but I am not clear if the new Machete v2 supports the new, readily available, GTX 570 cards.

Thank you,
Valeriu

Ciao Luigi.

Can one mix different branded cards (EVGA, Gigabyte), or if use EVGA only, different models like (GTX 460 SE, EE) or a mix of models (EVGA GTX460 for GUI and GTX 470-480 dedicated to GPU)?
Thank you,
Valeriu

yes is possible different model but gpu better if all the same, 460 or 470 or 480

thanks

Would this be OK (?):
1x GTX 460 with monitors attached (GUI)
2 or 3 X GTX 470 or GTX 480 for GPU
Thank you,
Valeriu

I've completed the first part which parses ioreg into xml.

I need to compile a small collection of templates for the different devices.

Here is an example :

Code:

<key>PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x3,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)/Pci(0x2,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)</key>

        <key>@0,name</key>
        <string>NVDA,Display-A</string>
        <key>@1,compatible</key>
        <string>NVDA,NVMac</string>
        <key>@1,device_type</key>
        <string>display</string>
        <key>@1,name</key>
