Instead of injecting data to the kernel with NVinject (in order to your card being correctly recognized), this string do the job at boot.
(Hard to explain correctly ... I'm French)

So yes NVinject can be removed.

I didn't try SFX yet so I can't answer.

No need for further explanation Zeph, I'm English and that made perfect sense

You will always need modified NVidia kexts as Apple only supports a few graphics card by default unfortunately.

I just wanted to clarify that this method worked for me. My 256Mb XpertVision 8600 GTS still has QE/CI and rotation using 'hex to string' and removing NVInject.

My Gigabyte 8600GTS 256MB too... And the VRAM amount is now seen and reported properly where before it was listed as 768MB. xbench score just slightly better (no better in opengl though).
Running both 10.5.8 and 10.6.4 on my stinking AMD/ATi machine...

Hi guys I hate to bump and sound dumb but this thread is exactly what I need help on. What is the correct way going about installing a driver for this type of video card. I tried a few methods with almost everything and pretty much had to just erase everything and start over. Im ok with that but running the appropriate driver is what im trying to achieve. Here is what I am currently working with. Nvidia GeForce 8600 GTS 256MB RAM. Leopard retail. Forgive the bump
