No.

 

The only Fermi cards that work at this time are GF100 based cards 465, 470 and 480, with disappointing performance and an annoying vsync issue.

 

As you can see in this table - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_Quadro#PCI_Express - the Quadro 4000, 5000 and 6000 uses the GF100 chip as well, that explains why only the GF100 based Fermi cards are supported by the drivers so far.

 

Your card uses the GF106 chip. See this table: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeForce_400_S...#GTX_400_Series

 

Keep an eye on this topic for the latest Fermi news and endless repetition of questions that have already been asked:

I'm no industry expert but I believe it's not up to nvidia.

 

Nvidia has contractual obligations to Apple. Don't you think that it would be extremely bad for business if they started releasing OS X drivers for chips that aren't available for users of real Apple computers?

 

Why do you think there are no 64-bit EFI firmware updates or drivers for NV40 (Geforce 7xxx series) cards? Because Apple doesn't want it, that's why.

 

You guys will have to wait for a third party to release an EFI based Mac video card that uses the GF104 or GF106 chip.

hello and thx for your fast reply.

 

only shutdown won´t work for me.

 

@Craig4 could you please so kind and upload your kext.

 

hoppefully yours work for me too:)

thx in advance

 

How do you add the kexts into the installation ISO? Also hoping for a kernel extension that works for the GTS 450.

 

Thanks!

 

[edit1] - Or allow the installer to see it?

I believe this is what I'm looking for, does the dmg image contain the kext?

for now i get it work with injektion.

 

now i will check if it work for hdmi too

 

What steps did you take to install OSX with your GTS 450? From what I've read, it seems that the nVidia Injection is for post install. Did you use your on-board GPU, and then install the Fermi drivers after OSX was installed?

 

Would really appreciate any help!

ive got the gts 450 working as well.

 

installed with tonymac drivers and tweaked my AppleGraphicsPowerManagement along with the nvda100 driver adding the device id

 

I have it working too with tonymac drivers but i need to play a movie in the background to prevent

KP's or freezes. In Lion these drivers don't work for me.

How did you edit AppleGraphicsPowerManagement? and do you have no freezes?
