EDIT: Returning the Graphics Card. It is not compatable even with drivers. Will buy the 760 when I can.
To begin, thank you tonymac and community for guiding me through to my amazing computer.
I built my CustoMac last september with the following parts:
Chipset: Intel Core i7-3770 Ivy Bridge
Bootdrive: Seagate Barracuda 1 TB HDD
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws X series 8 GB
Mother: Gigabyte GA Z77x UP5 TH
Monitor: Dynex 24 inch 1080p LED LCD HDTV (DX-24e150a11)
My HDD is partioned into 3 sections: Mountain Lion Boot Drive (250 GB), Windows 7 NSFS (250 GB), and MISC (500 GB of unused data. Possibly to add to the other drives as needed in the future).
(Note: I have not updated to Maverick yet but I will at a later date.)
Currently, my system is working great but I would like to upgrade the graphics card to the nVidia GeForce 660 3GB by EVGA. When i first attempted to install it (prior to the dual boot setup), my system crashed and i was forced to start over again. On my second attempt, I experienced the same issue which caused me to abandon the upgrade and instead proceed to programming the dual boot.
Does anyone know how I would go about setting up the graphics card now? I do have my system backed up to an external HD but I would pray there is a worry free install.
