need help with video card.. Geforce 7950GT PCI-E 512MB

so i managed to get my AMD Athlon running on OS X Leopard using iDeneb. i ended up disconnecting both SATA drives and using an IDE hard drive and DVD drive. installed. and is now running perfectly, all drivers loaded, except the network card, which I have read is not compatible with OS X (Netgear WG311v3 PCI wireless adapter), and my video card, which is an XFX Geforce 7950GT 512MB PCI-E.

I have tried everything I can think of. Natit supposedly doesnt work, so I have not tried that. However, I did try titan the first time before i screwed up my bootloader (long story..) and it didnt do anything. I found a page on insanelymac about injecting a EFI string, and even found a handy dandy utility on there to do the hard work for me on that one. (like an EFI string is hard with EFIStudio..) I now have dual monitors working flawlessly, along with full resolutions on both, and refresh rates. However, still no QE/CI.

I have read about flashing the rom; however, that seems way too risky. I have a geforce 7600 PCI-E 256MB card laying around somewhere that supposedly is compatible, but i dont want to downgrade, since i dual boot with windows 7 and play games.

any and all advice is welcome!! please im tearing my hair out with this! is this a lost cause?
