Hello All,

Everything is working as expected except that Quartz Extreme isn't supported and doesn't work. Has anybody every used this card? Have they got it to work with QE enabled?

bump... anybody?

I have a 9800 gtx from bfg and i have the same problem! I have spent days fighting with QE with no luck ( other than becoming really good at reinstalling ! )

Please post if you find a solution.

Hi! Here is mine own made efi string for geforce 9800 gt 512mb. Try this if you have 512mb memory. Put this in to /library/preferences/systemconfiguration/apple.com.Boot.plist. Download this and install it.
