Reward and 200% thanks for whoever set up my Quadro FX4500x2 card
I know this topic maybe sounds stupid to some people and not so many people have ever done this before but that's really the only way I can think of right now. I have a late 2007 Mac Pro Quad and another new Hackintosh PC (two Xeon quad)…

I know this topic maybe sounds stupid to some people and not so many people have ever done this before but that's really the only way I can think of right now.
I have a late 2007 Mac Pro Quad and another new Hackintosh PC (two Xeon quad) runs 10.5.7 OSX. I just got a PNY Quadro FX4500x2 card which is so unbelievable awesome when I run it in the windows Vista 64bit. Now I want to put this monster in my OSX system. However, no matter how hard I tried it just doesn't work. I know there are people who has similar cards such as 7950GX2 or 9800GX2 had successfully installed and enabled QE/CI, so there must be a way to make my Quadro FX be able to seem in the OSX. I have try to search everywhere I can think of but it seems that not many people use this card.
Basically Quadro FX4500x2 is G70 card which is very very similar to 7950GX2, that's what I know now. Because I need this card for my job and I have spent too much time on it, I really don't have any more time to deal with it…I decide to post a reward to whoever help me successfully set up this card. Whether using EFI, GFX string or any way to do it.
I will send $100 USD through my paypal account. Whether you want to believe or not, I am honest people. I do what I said.
Please ask questions or let me know if people who are interest in helping me and I will give you the detail you want to know

I have tried NVinject, I tried the lastest version and also old version such as 0.41, some people said 0.41 support all the nVidia 7xxx. But none of them works.
Also, I have tried to edit my deivce ID to GeForce.Kext, NVDAResman.kext
NVDANV50HAL.kext, even NVDANV10HAL.kext ~ NVDANV40HAL.kext…still no love.
I also tried titan, but I know that's not gonna work even before I tried because it already wrote it will not support 7950GX2, not even FX4500x2
It is such frustrating spent almost one month trying everything without any success, that's why I post reward here.
