What type of video connectors are on the back of this card ? VGA DVI what.
Some reports are found that indicate that this would work in OSX 10.7.1
Which OS version did you start with. Does the screen go Blank (Black) if so have you tried to move to the other Vid port on the card.

Have you tried this on the startup command line npci=0x2000

if this works you may want to edit you plist kext - see this http://www.osx86.net/video-graphics/14247-nvidia-9800-gt.html

I have edited npci=0x2000 into the plist i think. . . or something .I have no idea where to find my plist files

There are two DVI connectors n the back of the card. I am starting with Lion and my screen works fine,. . . I just can't get dual monitor support, no resolution settings, and I cannot watch any youtube videos.
