ico · #1 08-21-2009, 03:29 PM

hello - I am running SL on asus p5w dh deluxe everything is working except for the graphics card. I have no video just sound with black screen.

SL, Efi bootloader from lancelotu, alc882 on voodoohda.

Thankful for any good advice aside from "get a new one" :-)

I have the same card.

Usign natit + evoenabler, deleted ATIRadeonx2000.kext and ATI2600controller.kext..

Only 1024*768 resolution, waiting for something new...

I have this video card too, which works fine in 10.5.8.

Maybe we should just buy a cheap GeForce 8600 GT from ebay? Or a 8800?

My MSI RX2600XT-T2D256EZ/D3 works without QE and CI, but I can change resolution. For example, now I have 1280x1024. I am using Natit (old, not silent). I deleted all ATI 2000 kext (otherwise i had just black screen). Need QE and CI.

thanks folks!!! I am afraid we will all need to go hunt for a cheap nvidia card :-( if we want all that qe and cl to work.

I'm afraid I'm in the same boat. So what's the cheapest nVidia card that supports OpenCL and is compatible with Snow Leopard?

cheapest i could find was the best of the lower -price range nvidia cards from asus geforce en 9500 gt di gddr3 pci-e 512mb for 61 euros amozon it.
