11a459e and 10k521
first, new Lion build, has a bit newer nvidia drivers – 7.0.82 270.05.00a08
still no gtx580/570 dev-ids in it
ati x3000 kext version – 7.0.82 9749 (previous update – 7.0.75 9698)
10.6.8 beta – no fermi drivers at all
ati x3000 kext version – 1.6.34.15 (9707) (from latest imac update – 1.6.34.13(9707)), so not much newer
anyone wanna test 6970 ?
P.S. imac’s update as well as 10.6.8 beta has sandy bridge video drivers.
Looking forward to not needing a discrete graphics card in a Sandy Bridge Setup. I assume H55 config will be good as well?
Finally with 11a459e Quicken Essentials does not crash on me by just looking at it. It is at least functional at this point
yes i want to test it
Just reporting that the latest Lion DP build significantly improved my gaming performance over the previous. In fact, for my Sapphire 5770HD I am getting 10fps increase in WoW over not only the previous DP build, but 10.6.7 as well. I can not wait for full OpenGl 3.2 support. 😛
Has the random KPs on the fermi side been fixed?
I have an old ATI 3650. I would like know what family or kext it belongs in.
how to download 10.6.8 beta?
i tried searching on google, nothing found,
can someone provide the link for 10.6.8?

on my Hack I have had no Issues, but on my MacBook, using duel screens with slacker.com running, when you go to move windows from 1 screen to another the whole GUI freezes except for mouse and you must force power off to regain control. I am running Build 11A459e. last update that went live through software update.

i had that on my hack, thought it was just anothr hack bug..
try reinstalling, i resored and reupdated and now it works just fine..
Guys,
Just a short question.
I used a Radeon HD 4850 for a long time in my OSX86. It broke down so I bought a NV 560 Ti, which was probably the worst choice as it is still not usable on OSX.
What graphic card would you suggest to buy to have a flawless usage for OSX (Snow Leopard) ? I would like to keep the graphics power of the Geforce 560 Ti, so it shouldn’t be a too slow card. Additionally it shouldn’t be too large for my desktop case (4850/4870 and NV 560 Ti are fitting fine).
Pricetag should be below 250 US$.
Any suggestions ?
I see 10.6.8 10K524 has just been released to devs. I don;t have a link for it yet.
Ive got my GTX590 working fine under Lion, but I always have to verbose boot my installation or else I’ve graphics glitches / big time freezes. Anyone know what could be the problem?
10k531
ATI 6000 controller is 1.6.34.17 (9792)
The 3000.kext just says 1.6.34
No Fermi drivers
Here my experience with my new Asus GTX580 DirectCU II i got today, Lion DP3 + GraphicsEnabler from Chameleon, devid’s in NVDAGF100Hal.kext.
Desktop works, hardware acceleration works, but i got heavy graphic corruption and sometime kp with games, vlc, plex and some other players, the only exception is quicktime.
Hope we got better fermi support in the final version :/
11a480b is out now
Hey, I didn’t know where else to turn, everyone else I find in forums don’t seem to know what they are talking about or they are just not helpful. But I have a iMac 7,1 (mid 2007 model) with ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT card, running Snow Leopard 10.6.3 (erased HD to install cause Lion originally gave me problems) And I was having some strange issues, mainly freezing at random times, didn’t matter what was going on could have nothing running and still, and half the time Console reported GPPU Debug Info Start and a bunch of lines (during the time of the freeze, seen on next restart) so my guess is that the drivers that come in Lion do not work with the 2400 series but I’m quite new to mac (despite having one since 07) and I got no idea how to fix it, I love Lion but i can’t stand the freezes, and from what i read and found on this page, my guess is that i need to somehow install old drivers from possibly 10.6.2 but 1) totally unsure if that is what is needed and 2) how to go about it if it is needed, any help is appreciated, feel free to contact me at Azakeroth@gmail.com
