Is this the info.plist in your AGPM.kext? If so, it's because there isn't one for MacPro3,1. 3,1 doesn't load AGPM.kext
I'm not sure if you can edit it to run or not. I never got it working. Instead I removed a couple particular kexts and installed MacPro 5,1. You still have to edit whichever definition in info.plist to run for your particular card though.

Yes, this is from the AGPM.kext. I am reluctant to try a 5,1 definition on my board due to the forum thread about my board (http://tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=23561). They say to either do 3,1 or imac12,2. However, you seem to have a very similar set up to me (i5 vs i7, SE 460 vs my normal 460, your z68xp-ud3 vs my ud3P), so I MIGHT give it a try and post results. Question though. IS this even necessary given that my card works already? I can run games at ~35fps. Is this just a performance tweak or an installation option? Thanks!

What's your device ID? Mine is 1205, which isn't nearly as common for GTX 460 cards,
I couldn't run the 4,1 or 5,1 definition until I removed those kexts I mentioned in my post from earlier and rebuilt kext cache. In fact, I don't even think I needed to remove the AppleUpstreamUserClient.kext. After that though, 5,1 ran fine. I would guess you might experience something similar.
FYI, you can always remove them and try booting with a different smbios flag (SMBIOS=/extra/otherdefinition.plist). If it doesn't work, MacPro3,1 should still boot regardless of those kexts being present or not.
I can detail installing multiple smbios files in your /Extra folder if you need help.

It's really up to you. It sounds to me like your card is working just fine. Have you benchmarked it at all? I don't game on the OSX side much. I went thru the hassle because I didn't want my GPU running at 100% the whole time my machine is on (fan, cores, etc). Just adds extra noise and I really don't push my GPU all that much.

GTX 460 Mac Os Lion 10.7.2 work! perfectly in games.
I change this:
To all of those with performance issues using a GTX460: go to S/L/E AppleGraphicsPowerManagement and edit info.plist -> search for line MacPro4,1
Vendor10deDeviceXXXX
change XXXX with 0e22
My FPS is up 60! it´s working nice!
Good luck
I mean dude, thank you so much. It works on my GTX460. Before i had lag going full screen with quicktime, now almost no lag at all
But i gotta ask, how in the earth did you find out that those numbers should be changed, and with which numbers should be replaced???

Not sure about what number similar to 1205, but I have the x0e22 as per http://tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?f=1 ... 4xx+freeze

Would I need to run MultiBeast to create another smbios or can I simply duplicate the one I have, and change from 3,1 to 5,1? Thanks!
Edit: Actually got it working properly. Made a duplicate SMBIOS file, edited it to macpro5,1 definition, removed the AppleTyMCEDriver.kext and AppleUpstreamUserClient.kext, copied APGM to desktop, edited the info.plist, installed with Kext Wizard, rebuilt cache, test booted with the chimera flag, and it worked. replaced the default smbios with the new one. APGM is loaded and logging, and I even got some new features enabled throughout the mac with the new definition.
