jfraser Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I thought it would install Quadro drivers if I answered “y”. I wanted the script to modify the kext files, not install the Quadro drivers. Would my GT 740 actually be enabled by the script if I answered “y”? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euqlaog Posted January 9, 2016 Author Share Posted January 9, 2016 It’s just the download path name. The web driver pkg provides latest driver from Nvidia, no matter if you have a Quadro, Kepler or Maxwell architecture GPU. I recommend to press “y”. GT 740 is Kepler (GK107) so you can try installing the script with -skipdriver option as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missing IOPCITunnelCompatible keys. Mac board-id not found. Searching for matching driver... Cannot parse a NULL or zero-length data Cannot parse a NULL or zero-length data Cannot parse a NULL or zero-length data Then I ran the script with -skipdriver and it seemed to work, but when it rebooted, it ran into some sort of issue and had to reboot again before it finished rebooting. And when I check System Information, the GPU doesn’t show up as a GT 740; it shows up as “Nvidia Chip Model”. And when I check the displays tab of About This Mac, it shows both my MacBook’s internal monitor and the external monitor as being driven by the Intel HD 3000. What’s going on here? How do I fix this? Or do I just need to install drivers from Nvidia’s website? Edited January 9, 2016 by jfraser Clarification Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euqlaog Posted January 9, 2016 Author Share Posted January 9, 2016 (edited) You ran the script without Internet connection, check your connection, uninstall the script, reboot, and run it again.

And thanks to my eGPU, I can play StarCraft on High graphics settings (haven’t tested Ultra yet) and the CPU temperature stays around 80˚ instead of 93˚ or 96˚. Though, Minecraft doesn’t seem to benefit as much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Fantastic Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Guys, I need your help. I've just run the script and I'm receiving the following error I've tried every boot sequence imaginable. Seems like its not being discovered by windows 10 when loaded up with boot camp either. I'm going to try and download windows 8.1 overnight but i doubt its going to help if OSX can't find it either. My set up is below any help you can give is appreciated.

Try and make a barrel plug that you can conenct to the Corsair PSU! Are you 100% sure that the Corwair PSU starts and provides power to the GPU?

Mr_Fantastic Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 That's what I thought initially. I'm still waiting for my barrel adaptor to arrive so I can make the molex barrel power cable. However powering it via the default brick everything seems to be working fine. Fans are running and the enclosure is giving off a blue light. The 8 pin PCIE I have plugged into the graphics card and a white light comes one on the 970. I even tested it by removing the cable and turning the enclosure on, which resulted in the white light turning into a red light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s kind of strange considering that the kext files are simply modified Apple kext files. Or is this because they’ve been modified?

Modified kexts have an invalid signature and they won’t load when the SIP is turned on. https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Security/Conceptual/System_Integrity_Protection_Guide/KernelExtensions/KernelExtensions.html @Mr_Fantastic “Thunderbolt device is connected, but no external GPUs detected” means that you have a power issue, faulty TB cable or faulty eGPU.

esatamod Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I'm enjoying reading this discussion and I'm wondering if this github script will help me at all with my PE4L 2.1b expresscard adapter. I think this is only for thunderbolt? I guess my only option is the DIY setup 1.3 from nando? Very interesting too about having to disable SIP in 10.11. Doesn't that mess with sleep functions?

What’s your OS X build version and the output of "syslog -B -F '$Time $(Sender): $Message' | grep NVDA" and “kextstat -l | grep NVDA”? After OS X 10.10.5 security update (build 14F1021), my Mac mini couldn’t boot. I had to reset NVRAM. No problem with the El Capitan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

euqlaog Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 @brlewis219 I can’t verify the current status on Yosemite. I recall something that a 2014 Mac mini was unable to boot after the Yosemite security update 14F1021. Haven’t tried since then. Since you have a bootable system, this is likely something else. What actually doesn't work? Can you run the script with -clpeak option? If you have modified kexts manually, the script can’t handle that situation. It’s worth to try NVRAM reset and OS X reinstall before updating to El Capitan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solo_man Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) hi! please forgiven my terrible english i would ask why i run this script in mac's terminal, always note "Hot-plug the Thunderbolt cable and run the script again." how can i solve this problem? thanks!!
