Well yesterday i finished my hackintosh pc. With a motherboard GA-X58A-UD3R rev 2.0 and bios FH, and GPU Nvidia GTX-470. Everything works perfect!!!! But my only problem is the fonts. I have a LG monitor 27" Flatron M2762D FullHD (1920x1080 resolution) connected with DVI cable. Look at my screenshot and i hope you will understand. Its not too sharp, and its very blur (especially on firefox). What can i do for that? I cant change DPI setting like in windows.. Also i didn't installed any kexts for nvidia because i read that 10.8.2 will support my card.. Maybe i need to install something?

You will need first uploaded a full resolution picture so we can see more clearly the problem.

I never experienced such problem, but I may believe it's your resolution, since your mention your screen is 1080p capable, but your picture is below that.

Check you are using the maximum resolution available:
 
i dont have these options on Display Settings :/ its showing me only 1920x1080 not 1080p

And the pic which i uploaded is on full resolution

It's normal you don't see those options, depends on which port are you using.

But your picture is not on full resolution.
 
a guy told me to add this on org.chameleon.boot.plist

<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>npci=0x3000 darkwake=0</string>

its worked somehow but now my GPU temp from 55C goes up to 70C
 
Ignore what I said, I was confusing the thread.

It's quite confusing both, solution and temp issue.

The card get that hot just by using OSX or some app in particular?
