I have a dell Optiplex 755 and will my graphics card work?

I have a Nvidia GeForce 8400 GS. I was wondering if it will work with Mac OS X and What versions of Mac OS X will it work with?

I also have a Nvidia GeForce GT 630. I was wondering if it will work with Mac OS X and What versions of Mac OS X will it work with?

I just wanted to know before I even try to install Mac OS X. It is the Core 2 Duo model. I don't plan on using both Graphics Cards at the same time. I just want to use the one that works better on Mac OS X. I just have both Graphics Cards lying around and I just want to use one of them.

Either of those cards should work - I would use the GT 630, it's a better card. You will need the boot flag "GraphicsEnabler=no" for it to work properly.

I created the Mavericks USB with unibeast. I tried to boot it up and the gray apple screen shows up then it says display no signal. I tried both ports on the graphics card. The same thing happens.

I have tried this with the 630 and the 8400. the same outcome.

What should I do?

if you have a nvidia 8400GS then you need GraphicsEnabler=Yes PCIRootUID=0 give that ago and report back

I tried both VGA or DVI, they do not work.

I tried PCIRootUID=0 or PCIRootUID=1, they both don't work.

I tried the above with GraphicsEnabler=Yes, still doesn't work.

What should I do?

By the way I have the EVGA NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS with 1 GB of VRAM.

The other card is the EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GT 630 with 2 GB of VRAM.
