I have installed the nvinject 0.1.3 and the graphic animation is poor. I have checked the settings in 'about this mac' and all looks well. But the performance is rubbish. Please help!

Field Note #1 @frying_fish 2008-01-31

To get any more help you're going to need to give more details of the system specs, so that people will actually be able to help you

Field Note #2 @Puttabong 2008-01-31

Make a Screenshot like this one, so we can see all the needed information...

Field Note #3 @Puttabong 2008-01-31

It's slow because of no Quartz Extreme and no Core Image (no QE/CI).

You will have to install proper Video Drivers for your GeForce 6500!

Did you try Natit or the patched nvidia leo vid kexts or any other drivers?
