So im using a geforce 6800 le and from what ive read its a pretty compatible card but for the life of me I cant get it to work. I guess I have no idea what im doing I tried installing nvinject using the easy installer only to get "directory or file does not exist" in the terminal. Im using jas 10.4.8 install I have network and sound so pretty much everything but the video card is at 100%

The only reason I took up this project was to play Everquest mac edition but when I try to launch it obviously I get no 3d device found.

There u will have Leopard and for sure working kext and Injectros for ur card.

Field Note #2 @Taisto 2009-04-10

Mmm, im not sure but arent those injectors made for 10.5 only ? Anyway, why dont you try 10.5.6 iPC release ? Then it should work with injectors.
