(SOLVED) Snow Leopard GTX 260
Are there any drivers for GTX 260 in snow leopard? The drivers I'm using are the Enabler from Netkas and the EVGA 285 driver.

Any ones that might work in 64 bit? And maybe if it support OpenCL?

Its best to use efi strings, they're 64/32bit compatible and have the best support for now. Once evga updates the drivers the combination you wanna use is strings plus the latest drivers from evga for best recognition and performance. Lemme know if you need a link to a guide for the string configuration. You'll have to remove the enablers and injectors first.

Do you have the strings for dual GTX 260? Please send me them. Also, I would have to remove the EVGA driver and Enabler if I use GFX strings?

4. Installing additional video card drivers
a. Since I've been running 2 Nvidia GTX 260-216s (honestly 2 of these cards are the best bargain for graphic performance overall compared to the gtx 295 and ATIs power-hungry cards) I installed specialized drivers which went into the S/L/E folder (the official installer did so). Since this is extra you can download these two files first try this one and if that one doesn't work alone install this one additionally. These drivers start up after the gray screen. Which means you should still keep the ATY_Init.kext in your extensions folder if you’re using chameleon GUI (not –v).

Code:

 BIOS:E758_SZ2Z
Motherboard:EVGA x58 132-BL-E758-A1
CPU:Intel Core i7 920 @ 4.0 GHz
OS:Snow Leopard 10J567:x64 Vanilla
Memory:24 GB G.skill DDR3 1333 MHz
HDD:10 x 1TB Western Digital Caviar Black
Graphics Card:EVGA Geforce GTX480 1536 mb
Monitor:Dell Ultrasharp 2408WFP Rev. A02
Audio: Onboard

I was actually looking for 64bit capable drivers... Those seem not to work, I am using them right now.

Just a question... Will 64 bit kernel be any faster then the 32 bit one? If so, by how much?

Can you please share how you got it working? I already have the updated netkas injector and evga drivers installed but I only get 1024x768 resolution. I tried the guide at darwinx86.org and tried different EFI strings but it didn't help. :/

I have a GTX260 and Foxconn G45M-S.
