dunno if i'm gonna give you a good news, but i work with an original powermac at the office and often i have monitor problems on wake and sometimes on startup, too.

Try with two different viewsonic monitors but nothing really changed.
Anyway those problems affects the windows pcs, too... so maybe could be a monitor problem.

Just found out that my system also has some problems with waking from sleep if i enter sleep mode in Windows 8. So maybe it has nothing to do with osx.
I also saw that a newer UEFI bios is available for my mainboard than the one i'm currently using.
I'll try updating that tommorrow and see if that helps.

I am using EVGA 650 Superclocked 2GB. It is works with OSX 10.8.3. I did installed CUDA driver before I updated OSX 10.8.3. No lose identity video card.

I have the same card and it's crashes all the time since updated to 10.8.3. Already found no solutions to fix this issue, you'd better to replace it with e.g. GT 640... If you sell your current card you won't have to pay a lot additionally... I think that's what I will do.

I uninstall CUDA,after that so far so good.

Add Diablo II on a 660 TI to the list. A few minutes in and the computer locks. Works perfectly on my Mac Pro Tower and 2012 Mac pro 15 laptop.

Just upgraded to 650Ti from 560Ti. Super easy, worked 1st time OoB, and running great after 24 hours, with 2 DVI monitors. Here's what I did:

1. Repair permissions, reboot.
2. Clone hard drive using SuperDuper.
3. Remove 560Ti hacks from /Extra folder:
   1. Delete /Extra/10de_1200.rom file (ROM file hack from old 560Ti)
   2. Edit org.chameleon.Boot.plist : delete lines UseNvidiaROM and VBIOS; change GraphicsEnabler to "No" (note: I got permission errors, so used nano in the terminal, e.g. "sudo nano /Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist")
4. Shut down, remove 560Ti, add 650Ti, Boot into OS, et voila! (If you haven't already, set the BIOS appropriately for your card: Init Display, internal graphics.)
5. Post 560Ti on Ebay.

I already had the 10.8.x OpenCL Patch for NVidia, and didn't remove it. I had previously removed CUDA drivers using this guide: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/...w-do-i-uninstall-cuda-3-1-developer-drivers-/

Then I went over to the Windows side and installed the drivers from the included DVD. Believe it or not, it took longer to set up the new card in Windows than it did on the Mac OS side!

I have this greenish noise in various areas of the screen. i have tried a bunch of stuff over hours and days. I'm at a wall and need some advice.

Here's where i am at so far:

Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD4p i7 4core 2.8 Bios update "F13"
Bios is set to run PCI. It also has option for PCIE 16x1, PCIE16x2; i don't know if that bios setting is impacting the card performance.
PNY Nvidia GTX 660 2GB

OSX 10.8.3 (upgraded to 10.8.3 while running nvidia 8800 GTX, before purchase of GTX 660) Install went well but quality is terrible, see attached images.
Multibeast with "DSDT-GA-EX58-UD4P-F13.aml"
NVinject=No

LuxMark Tests:
LuxMark v2.1beta2 Mode: OpenCL GPUs
Devices: (no cpu)
GeForce GTX 660 (GPU, 5, 1032MHz)
Scene name: scenes/sala/render.cfg LuxMark Result: 465
Scene name: scenes/room/render.cfg LuxMark Result: 233

Any thoughts?

Thanks a million in advance for reading and replying!

Hi. I would imagine that the BIOS setting could impact card performance. If the settings didn't matter, there wouldn't need to be a choice. Since your card is PCIExpress, I would think that your BIOS should be set to one of the PCIe choices. I would put the card in a PCIe 16 slot and set the BIOS for one of the PCIE settings. (PCIE 16x1 for one card or PCIE16x2 if using two?)
Just my semi-educated guess.
(I'm planning to get an EVGA GTX 660 later today. I'm presently using a GTS 450 and I have the SBBOD problems very frequently. Hopefully, they will disappear with the 660.)

Mostly successful with an EVGA GTX 650 Ti Boost SC. For some reason I'm seeing a PCIe Lane Width of x8 even though is's the only card in an x16 slot on my GA-Z77X-UD5H. The CUDA control panel shows "5.0.45" for the CUDA driver and a greyed out "8.10.44 304.10.65f03" for the GPU driver which I assume is the native Apple version.

Is there anything I should be loading or any BIOS [F14] config I may be missing? Also, any way to show a friendlier name than "NVIDIA GK 106?"
