This is probably a stupid question, so please excuse my ignorance, but how would I go about upgrading my graphics card to a GTX970 if I don't have an integrated graphics chipset to fall back on when booting up.
Right now my rig has a 650ti which is natively supported, but i'm a 2011 socket board so no integrated graphics. So I'm assuming I won't be able to boot into Yosemite to install the new graphics drivers unless there's some way of booting both with the 650TI and the 970.
tldr; OS X won't boot with a GTX 970 unless the alternate graphics are installed right?

Great, will try when I get the card later. Thanks!
I just had quite a scare after the update to 343.01.01f03.
After updating to version f03 I couldn't boot and was shown the prohibitory symbol when booting with clover. Interestingly, I could still boot using chimera. I downgraded the web driver and the issue disappeared. Version f02 works fine, must be some sort of conflict between f03 and clover??
Looks like I will be sticking with f02 for a while
"What I did :
1. Clean install of Yosemite with Clover, without the video card.
2. Add nv_disable=1 in boot args
3. Connect the card
4. Reboot
4. Install the latest NVIDIA Web Drivers
5. Remove nv_disable=1, add nvda_drv=1
6. Reboot, but don't connect your screen to the video card yet.
7. Go into the bios and disable IGFX, select PCIe 1st slot as the first selection. This will enable the bios to be displayed on your main screen connected to the video card. Now you can connect your screen to the video card.
8. Boot into OSX, this will now be even faster than before "
I'm considering getting a gtx750 ti also, have you experienced the fans at full blast and no signal through HDMI on your clover install?
Absolutely not. It's really working great. Not a single noise from the fans and HDMI is working as expected.
