Still doesn't work, clean install of snow leopard (10.6) on Gigabyte EX58-UD5 board (using the installer script over on insanely mac) with Gigabyte factory overclocked GTX 260 (dvi-vga-hdmi). Followed the guide completely (Not scared of terminal, I live and breath nix), even tried editing the NVresman plist by adding the dev id's. No res, no qe/ci/opencl - i.e no translucent menu bar, jerky screensaver.

I'm at my wits end now, I've tried the GT2XX driver from nvidia and the plists. The trouble is, people who have it working aren't letting us know what their setup is so we can try and work out why other setups don't work correctly. It's all well and good saying, THIS IS WORKING!! WOO HOO! We need to know why.

I'm not giving up with this card. It's got so much potential in SL.

Thnx for posting string. Figured another method

unfortunately it still doesnt work with the string.

however.... i figured out how to make my gtx 260 work. i basically used the string for the gtx 280 and i get full range of res including 1920x1200 and full CI/QE. does anyone know if this going to damage my card? it works perfectly the only diff is the memory. the string said the 280 has 1024 and my 260 only has 800something.

So I've spent days trying to get this to work and it isn't. I have an Asus P5B-Deluxe motherboard and a EVGA 896-P3-1264-AR GeForce GTX 260 SSC Edition 896MB 448-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card .

I installed OS X by formatting my external HD with 2 partitions. I copied my Snow Leopard installer to one partition and installed Snow Leopard to the other. I removed all the NV kexts from /System/Library/Extensions on the installer and used to EmpireEFI to boot the installer. Once it was installed, I booted into Single User Mode and followed http://www.infinitemac.com/f19/guide...leopard-t4057/ of moving the NV kexts. I booted into Snow Leopard ok and ran MyHack from the EmpireEFI disc http://osx86.sojugarden.com/installer/ installing com.apple.Boot.plist, GraphicEnabler, FakeSMC, FramebufferDisabler, JMicronATA, LegacyAppleRTC, NullCPUPowerManagerment, OpeHaltRestart, PlatformUUID, and SleepEnabler. I then ran System Update and updated to 10.6.2 and completed the rest of the guide on getting my GTX 260 working. When I booted I got a kernal panic on SleepEnabler, and realized I needed a newer one for 10.6.2, which I did. Next boot I got a black screen.

So I remove the NV kext's Snow Leopard boots perfectly and everything works great, but if I put them back I get a black screen still. Anyone have any idea why it isn't working? I added the stuff to both my com.apple.Boot.plist in /Library/Prefereces/SytemConfiguration and /Extras.

Thanks!
