Hi all,
just in case anyone else stumbles upon the same problem: I just found out how to enable a GT730 graphics card on my Z77 DS3H board and 10.10.5.
I used to run Mac OS using the onboard graphics, but then needed support for 2560x1440 pixels - which is not supported by this board.
I took a lot of turns with lots of try and error involved - after all, adding nvda_drv=1 to the kernel options might just do it. I took the detour around NVIDIA web drivers, which might not be necessary.
To use the NVIDIA web driver:
My setup was more complicated, since I run a Fusion Drive - which cost me a lot try and error, since I forgot I had to modify the org.chameleon.Boot.plist file in the hidden helper partitions.
Bye

To use the NVIDIA web driver:
- after installing card, boot with nv_disable=1
- install NVIDIA Web Driver from here
- make sure that nvda_drv=1 is in the kernel flags of /Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist (appearantly, this is done by the NVIDIA installer)
