Help for MSI GeForce GTX 470!

[HawkXP]

Hello, everyone!
I had great expectations from my new 470 GTX. Unfortunately, it seems that is not working properly on Mac OS X Snow Leopard.
I have read a lot of posts on this subject for days and it seems like I get almost nowhere. Anyway, I have tried many things in order to fix my problem with no luck.
My specs. are:
Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD3R v2.0 BIOS F13.
Core i7 870 Stock Clock.
MSI GeForce GTX 470 Twin Frozr II 1.28GB DDR5 320-bit (in PCI-E 1).
8 GB RAM Kingston DDR3 1600 MHz.

Things I've tried using Tonymacx86’s installer guide:
Install MacOSX Snow Leopard 10.6 Retail DVD + iBoot GE.
Update to 10.6.5.
Run Multibeast 3 (with no audio drivers, userDSDT install, Chameleon 2.0 RC5 prerelease, boot enable 64-bit and GraphicEnabler Yes, MacPro 3,1).
Install Tonymacx86 Nvidia update driver.
Restart.
The video board is recognized but no acceleration. Switch to higher resolution (1920x1080) then screen becomes blue and system freeze.
Hardware reset, normal boot and resolution is 1920x1080, but still no acceleration.
Install Ndivia fermi fix driver 10.6.5 and reboot.
Video board has some acceleration (rotation supported), video files runs smoothly.
In Cinebench 11.5 score is aprox. 27 fps.
It seems that is OK, but when I launched Final Cut Pro, it quits unexpectedly. Motion 4 runs but crash after few clicks. Overall, the system is unstable.
If anyone has a solution for such a problem, I will be grateful if you will let me know about it.

Thanks, chemary85, but after another 2 days of tryings, still does not work. In tried both methods: generating EFI strings and GraphicsEnabler=Yes. I have some acceleration in both cases, but system is unstable. I will replace 470 GTX with my good old 9600 GT. And maibe later i wil try again.

Any news on this problem?
All apps from Final Cut Studio quits right after it's "settled" after opening.
It just opens and quit.
My system is running 10.6.1 with a Gforce 7300 GS... any ideas?

Sorry... no news about GTX470, jelmet. I stil use 9600GT. With 9600GT Final Cut and Motion works very well; no more crashes. I have 10.6.5.
I dont know what to say about your problem.Try to update snow leopard to a a new version.
