GF8600GT became 7600 after 10.5.5 update :-(

I had a 8600GT XFX 256MB card installed and it worked ok. Then I upgraded to 10.5.5. All worked nice, however I found out today (!) that the driver was 7600. Or at least, in the systeminformation it says nVidia 7600. Also, the QE was disabled.

I noticed all this after Google Earth was superslow when rotating the maps :-)

 

So I was wondering: Can someone point to a place where I can DL the proper driver which get it back to 8600GT and QE enabled ? If possible, I would like a click´n´watch installation rather than fiddling with "vi" :-)

 

PS! I have 10.5.5 (9F33)

Nope. I downloaded natit 1.0 and installed it. Still doesn not work.

System profile settings still says I got a 7600GT EFI card, while I actaully

DO have a XFX 8600GT 256MB card :-)

 

Any more tips ? ...Anyone ?

 

How can I (like in any other OS) choose which driver to use ? Is ther a "device manager" kinda thing in OSX 10.5.5

which I can use to select which driver to use that fits my card ?

 

No QE is kinda sucky.... things move slow. :blink:
