Administrators Hervé Posted March 27, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 27, 2021 GT710 is expected to be supported OOB as long as it is a Kepler model (GK208 chip). If it's a Fermi model (GF1xx chip), it won't be supported at all (in any version past El Capitan/Sierra). https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/?mfgr=NVIDIA&mobile=No&workstation=No&igp=No&generation=GeForce 700&memtype=DDR3&sort=generation To identify your card's chipset, you may use apps such as GPUZ in Windows for instance. Or any other app/tool that will show you the chip model and/or the info about shaders/TMUs/ROPs. The Zotac part # should also be indicated somewhere on the card (like on a sticker) and you may look that up on GPUZoo.com. Make sure you use the SMBIOS of an iMac with nVidia graphics (eg: iMac 14,2/14,3) or graphics probably won't initialise, as seems to be the case. Given that these models are not officially supported by Big Sur, you'll have to use the boot parameter -no_compat_check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radost Posted March 27, 2021 Author Share Posted March 27, 2021 -no_compat_check worked.thank You so much! How can I check if the card hardware acceleration works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted March 27, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 27, 2021 Translucency of Finder's bar & Dock Info in About this Mac Info in SysInfo->Graphics In SysInfo->Software->Extensions, check if nVidia Kepler drivers are loaded (GeForce + NVDAResman + NVDAGK100Hal) General responsiveness (Hackintosh will be lagging quite severely without graphics acceleration) Graphics card status in IOReg (check with IORegistryExplorer app) Open up Chess (from Applications) and move the board in 3D (should be smooth with graphics acceleration) Open up LaunchPad repeatedly by clicking repeatedly on the icon in the Dock (should be all smooth) Download Heaven from Unigine and check benchmarking (should run fairly smooth and with decent FPS) Download OpenGL Extensions Viewer (off the AppStore) and run Cube/King tests etc. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
