Best news of the day for me

Here's my working Zotac GTX 460 1GB on SL 10.6.5 :

Installation couldn't be easier :

Install nVidia's driver and add GraphicsEnabler=Yes to com.apple.boot.plist

I can't believe it. I guess there will be a party at my house. Only trouble is, there likely won't be any beer because I am going to be broke after I go get the GTX-580. Haha.

I was beginning to think they were not going to do this. I am so excited.

Finally!!!

You're telling me! I was literally an hour away from trading my 480 for a 5870 + a few bucks. I would have gone mad!

What are some effects of losing OpenCL, by using this driver.

jonnynogood You're probably going to have to wait until the 580's ID is integrated into a bootloader. Every vanilla 580 out right now is exactly the same, sans the stickers on them. If you tend to keep cards for years, get an eVGA because of the lifetime warranty. If you tend to buy and sell cards a lot (less than a year or so), I'd purchase an Asus/MSI/Gigabyte. They only have 3 year warranties, but if you ever sell it, the warranty is attached to the card and not the owner. If you go with choice two, just get whichever is cheaper or whichever you think looks best.
