Ok, bought this card from Microcenter yesterday:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130750

After much trial and error with it only booting to 1024x768, I finally added the device ID to S/L/E in the NVDAGF100Hal.kext

That got it working properly. Installed the latest CUDA driver from NVIDIA (released today, btw). QE/CI is working, DVD player works, etc. Now my problem is that the card doesn't have the right ID in System Profiler. See below.

What do I need to do for it to properly recognize the card (name, amount of RAM, etc)?

Edit: after reading this thread (http://www.tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=37494) I injected my Device ID into my org.chameleon.Boot.plist and disabled GraphicsEnabler. System boots properly into OSX with full resolution and QE/CI. Cinebench GPU score around 43 fps. System Profile displays the correct info for my card.

Only catch seems to be that the fan on the card seems to spin up to full and stay that way. I think this is because my system isn't loading the AppleGraphicsPowerManagement.kext for whatever reason. My system profile is MacPro 3,1 which I know isn't in the info.plist from that kext. I tried adding it with my GPU's device ID, but that doesn't make it load at startup. So, on to the next problem!

Did you make a Backup of NVDAGF100Hal.kext before?

Nothing...should work OOB under Lion with the newest Chimera, the Original NVDAGF100Hal.kext installed and GraphicsEnabler=yes PciRootUID=1 npci=0x2000
 
Re: GTX 460 - wrong profile

The original kext doesn't allow for full resolution. Gets stuck at 1024x768.

So far hasn't worked OOB for me yet.

I should also note that the mini-HDMI port only partially works. It will launch into OSX but the screen is jittery (and hard on the eyes!). Not usable in its current state.
