Both games run smoothly at an HD resolution of 1280x720 with details on high. As examples I tested Sniper Elite V2 and F.E.A.R. And games executed by the GT630 seem to run amazingly well. In Windows everything is working like a charm too! Both cards in the machine, both recognized, both outputting full resolutions properly.
I've got Windows 7 installed on the machine as well, with Boot Camp. The first time Lion boots with both cards installed, the user is allowed to alter the allocation of bandwidth for each lane. The GT630 is installed in lane 1, and the 7300GT has been moved to lane 4. My old card is the passively cooled 7300GT. When operating the OS everything seems very fast as well. With every graphic setting on the very highest everything runs lightning fast and flawless. To test the performance of the newly installed card, I launched Unreal Tournament 2004. In system profiler the card reads as an "NVIDIA Chip Model 256 MB". My 27" and my 23" display both lid up as Lion loaded to the desktop. Booting up the system with the new card in the machine worked like a charm.
#MAC PRO 2012 GRAPHICS CARD DRIVERS#
I have carried out a test of installing an Nvidia Geforce GT630 in my Mac Pro 1.1, and want to supply you with my results.īefore plugging the card in, I installed the Nvidia drivers for 10.7.4 Lion. They will also inform us if they find such a GPU." Delete Also, we know of a couple of mad scientists that work these cards to make them function seamlessly under OS X. If we find one that boots and functions correctly without patching of firmware or drivers, we will definitely post an article about it. We are continually experimenting with alternate GPUs. We no longer have it but I doubt it will under Mountain Lion without some tweaking or amending of the firmware. We tried the Radeon HD 7970 under Lion but it would not boot.
#MAC PRO 2012 GRAPHICS CARD DRIVER#
Lion - including the GeForce GTX 570 and 580 - require some firmware changes to boot - and driver patch to support OpenCL. All the ones we've tested recently under Lion and Mt.
"I've heard reports that some NVIDIA cards work with OS X Mountain Lion but have not confirmed that in our lab. Unfortunately I couldn't lend the card, but I have spoken with some guys from about the whole gfx card situation, and I got the following reply I thought I would share:
