Article: Nvidia Releases Mountain Lion 10.8.2 Graphics Drivers
You need to use a supported Graphics Benchmark program like Luxmark or Unigene Heaven as described here> http://www.tonymacx86.com/graphics/48498-graphics-benchmark-programs.html
That makes sense since Cinebench DOESN'T SUPPORT the GTX 470.I tested the performance vs. the stock 10.8.2 drivers. I updated to the new Nvidia driver mentioned in this post and installed the latest CUDA driver. Here are the results of the CineBench test with my system that has a GeForce GTX 470 and Intel i7 2600k OC 4.4GHz: On stock OSX driver I scored 51.42fps and CPU 8.59. On new Nvidia driver I scored 51.72fps and CPU 8.57. In summary, there is no worthwhile improvement. I did not test the issue with FCP X because I despise that program. I use Adobe CS6 because I'm a professional.
