Was just wondering with the 560ti did anyone use graphics enabler=yes in chameleon or whatever bootloader you are using? and the new nvidia graphics drivers? I am using smbios 13.1 for my system and it works fine with my gtx650 but from a performance standpoint I would rather use the 560ti, like many other I was experiencing the fermi freeze with the 560ti tried several different fixes and finally gave up. I was able to get out of the box acceleration with the 650gtx no freeze sleep and everything is working.

I have a GeForce GT 240 and it work.
Of course ECC panel say that the card is not support but the driver is loaded: (see attachment photo)

5/23/13 5:28:32.000 PM kernel[0]: NVDAStartup: Web
5/23/13 5:28:32.000 PM kernel[0]: NVDANV50HAL loaded and registered

and in CUDA Panel: GPU Driver Version: 8.14.11 (313.01.01f03)

If you want it to work just add
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>darkwake=0 nvda_drv=1</string> to org.chameleon.Boot.plist...
DON'T USE: <key>nvda_drv</key><string>1</string> DON"T WORK for me...

Weird stuff, in console:
22/05/2013 17:25:50.000 kernel[0]: NVDAStartup: Web

and in terminal using kextstat:
97 2 0xffffff7f80e0a000 0x284000 0x284000 com.apple.NVDAResmanWeb (8.1.4) <81 74 10 5 4 3 1>

Both show the web driver as being loaded, however the menu bar still shows the Official kext as being loaded. It is only cosmetic, but what are peoples solutions for this?

Folks - just ignore it. The reason Pref panel shows "OSX default Driver" is because of this applet looks into NVRAM to read the settings, after reboot it will always reset back to default image and would not have "nvda_drv=1" in it. When you adjust it later manually - it will insert this to NVRAM (in RAM), so it would find it there and display correctly in UI untill you reboot. The fact is, web driver is loaded regardless what this pannel says after reboot.

Yes, use enabler=yes for the 560ti.

I thought I was in the clear with the new drivers, but I did just get a timeout after several days of testing. Running some different settings now to see if it helps.

Great to see more nVidia support.

Just a heads up for anyone with a 560Ti card, these drivers do not support this card and will refuse to load on boot, even with nvda_drv=1 flag in the KernelFlags.

Works fine with my EVGA GTX 680 SC Signature 2.

One thing I have noticed: Hardware acceleration in XBMC, Plex, etc. still does not work with Mac Mini 6,2 sysdef. Once I rolled back to Mac Pro 3,1 it worked!
