Very pleased with my Hackintosh experience overall, but one problem remains...I'm getting the so-called fermi freeze from my GTS 450 graphics card. I've read a lot of threads on this forum looking for clues as to how to fix this. Some people have said their freezes stopped when they upgraded to Lion. I have been on Lion 10.7.2 from the start (built my Hack last November). I bought the GTS 450 because it was one of Tonymac's recommended cards...supposed to "just work" out of the box. It does work, but the freezes are annoying.

Can anyone shed any light on this? My build specs are listed in the sidebar, but I can give more details if necessary. Here is my org.chameleon.boot.plist:

Code: 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
	<key>Kernel</key>
	<string>mach_kernel</string>
	<key>Kernel Flags</key>
        <string>npci=0x2000 PCIRootUID=1</string>

	<key>Legacy Logo</key>
	<string>Yes</string>
	<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
	<string>Yes</string>
</dict>
</plist>

Some of the suggested fixes include injecting an EFI string, editing certain kexts, etc. Are any of these applicable to me?
 
Here is my bootlog from the console:

It seems that several kexts failed to load. I have no idea why. Some of them have "GeForce" in the name....don't know if this is related to the fermi freezes or not... Any help VERY MUCH appreciated.
 
Change your Video Card ! jaja I had that Card and it was a real Pain to work in 10.6.8 [ can't change resolution ] and in 10.7.2 it works ''Half OOB'' because in
Cinebench , Gave me around 12 points or so that is too low ! compared to a 240gt[ 24 points] and a 6670[ 48 points] an another one that i have 6870 XFX[60 points ] ... i read , don't remember if in this Forum , or in OSX.net [ Kexts ] that a guy made it Work with Full Aceleration in 10.7.2........ OK now,, where is my money !!!! JAJA ! just kidding !! Hope this helps!

Hi;

I'm looking to upgrade from a HD 5770 to a faster card.

What is the model number of your XFX HD 6870 ?

Thanks
