Article: OS X 10.8.5 Supplemental Update 1.0
nVidia's web drivers are far more recent than Apple's drivers. Apple on average is a full ten versions behind. The web drivers also fix bugs that Apple's versions do not. But unlike most other video card drivers, they are built against a very specific version of the OS and often crash or outright KP the machine on any other version of the OS.
Unfortunately ever since AMD stopped updating Mac drivers on their own, we've been stuck with outdated drivers in all Apple releases on the AMD side. This may be one of the reasons that no AMD cards are listed in the "compatible GPU" section of the CustoMac Build Guides.
To those that are using the nVidia Web Drivers, don't now why you use it, as the original Apple GeForce drivers works like a charm.
