I have been using my HD4000 waiting for a new "OOB" GPU to switch to. My system has been working great with the HD4000, however I needed a bit more oomph and the GT640 seemed over priced for having DDR3. I ordered the Gigabyte GTX 650 2GB card (GV-N650OC-2GI).
The box arrived this morning, I shutdown OSX, installed the card, made a few tweaks in the BIOS and booted right up.
I have the BIOS set to init PEG first but also have the HD4000 enabled. I have 1 display connected by DVI and the other by HDMI. OpenCL/GL seem to be working fine, so far everything seems functional except for video playback in iTunes. I have to admit, I didn't test that under the HD4000 either. I have the transparent menu bar and Open GL Extension viewer shows everything as being enabled and all tests run.
I did not make any changes to my chameleon boot plist beyond how it was set for the HD4000, I just installed the GTX 650. I have no desire to run HDMI audio and have no ability to test that, sorry for those that are bound to ask. I have not installed CUDA or any other Geforce specific drivers that are not native to OSX.
Now if I can get iTunes video play back working it'll be perfect. One key requirement for me was to have a quiet system, I do not believe the GTX650 is audible over the normal case noises (other fans and a noise SATA drive).
