This is your problem
I dont have a 8800GTS, so i cant say witch driver will work for u , but my Wifes computer has a 7600GT and i use the standart OSX Kext with a EFI String.
Do u have give the standart Kext a try ?
Your problem lies in Core Image. You dont have hardware acceleration enabled.
Here, try this :

It`s for 8800GT but ppl wrote that it worked for GTS aswell. You have EFI tutorial, NVInject and custom kexts there - maybe some of this will work for you.
Happy to hear that See ? iPC and others did a really great work Hope you`ll like the OS.
