GTX 650 recognized as NVIDIA D14P1-30 issue

[DBP]

I *think* the steps are:

1. Install the Retail-304.00.05f02.macosx.dmg drivers
2. Run kextutility with no arguments
3. Reboot and glory in the smoking speed of my newly invigorated hackintosh

It should be simpler than that:

1. Install the drivers from Retail-304.00.05f02.macosx.dmg.
2. Reboot.

I'd like to avoid restoring from backup if it's avoidable.

Ensuring you have an up-to-date backup before doing this is always good procedure, but you shouldn't need to restore from it in this case.

The actual steps turned out to be:

1. benchmark in Unigine = 34 FPS with minimally challenging settings
2. change system def to Mac Pro 3,1
2. install drivers and reboot, which shows it is recognized
4. benchmark again = turns in an FPS of 24 :
5. change system def back to iMac 12,2, reboot
6. run benchmark again = 22 FPS
7. try imac 13,1
8. performance remains appalling 22-24 FPS

Anyone have any suggestions of how to get any kind of decent performance out of this card? It should be faster than my old 285 on my Windoze box, but it is terrible.

Which version of the Heaven benchmark - 3 or 4? The reason I ask is with version 3, I was getting 48 to 51 fps with my GTX 650, but with version 4 I'm only seeing 30 fps. The graphics look identical to me - no reason for a 20 fps drop. A link to my actual Heaven benchmark screenshots is below

I'm using Unigine 4 across everything.
