Hi guys,
I've managed to get my GTX660 2GB working fine on my Mountain Lion unit using the official Nvidia 10.8.2 drivers.
All seems to be well except when I try and use Adobe Premiere Pro for video editing, the play back seems to be very slow and when I apply effects it doesn't seem to cope very well. I've had a look around on Google and it seems to be down to the 'GPU Enabling' from what I can work out? It looks like Premiere Pro is trying to play it back using the onboard rather than my GTX660?
I've had a look online and I managed to find this information but I just wondered if anyone had similar issues with their GTX6XXX Series of cards? Is it an issue with OpelGL or anything or something I can enable in Multibeast or update?
Let me know your thoughts, thanks!

NOTE: We have NOT tested the unlock on the Mac system. We have had a couple of users tell us this is how they unlocked there video card on their Mac systems. If you find something incorrect with the Mac instructions, please drop us an email with the correct information.
Please understand, I do not have access to a Mac, so I can't help you if you have a problem. I am sorry about that.
1) Install Premiere CS5 first.
2) Install the latest CUDA drivers for Snow Lepoard
2) Once installed, go to System Preferences / CUDA and accept the update, IF THERE IS ONE.
3) Intall the latest Nvidia Drivers.
4 ) Find out the Name of your video card from Premiere
5) Open a terminal emulator (NOTE: you may need Root Access)
5A) Go to the spotlight, type TERMINAL, press enter.
Most of the time, for standard installations, the following should work.
5B) Now on the terminal type:
/Applications/Adobe\ Premiere\ Pro\ CS5/Adobe\ Premiere\ Pro\ CS5.app/Contents/GPUSniffer.app/Contents/MacOS/GPUSniffer
The "uppercased" words might be different for your instalation of CS5, find out yours, do not just simply copy and paste.
If you need to look for the actual place where premiere was installed, type:
/Applications/FOLDER\ FOR\ PREMIERE/PRO\ INSTALLATION\ Pro\ HERE/SOMETHING\ Premiere\ Pro\ CS5.app/Contents/GPUSniffer.app/Contents/MacOS/GPUSniffer
6) You get an output similar to Step 5 under the Windows section.
If it says somewhere that CUDA devices have been found you are lucky and you can use this capability.
7) Look for the name of the video card as you would in step 5 under the Windows section.
8) DO NOT CLOSE THE TERMINAL
9) Now let’s add your card to the list of supported cards.
10) On the terminal type:
sudo nano /Applications/Adobe\ Master\ Collection/Adobe\ Premiere\ Pro\ CS5/Adobe\ Premiere\ Pro\ CS5.app/Contents/cuda_supported_cards.txt
A new window appears, here, simply type in the name of the video card that you got from following step 7 just above.
11) Now Press CTRL + X
ANSWER "Y" (stands for YES, I want to save the file)
Press enter until you get out of the editor.
12) Now start follow steps 28 through 30 under the Windows section.
UPDATE:
The latest GPU drivers are confirmed to work and it is a recommended update.
