Hey guys, just wanted to know if these drivers on the nvidia site will work with my gtx 275?

• This driver update is for Mac Pro (Mid 2010) only, whose owners would like to use NVIDIA Quadro FX 4800 for Mac or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285 for Mac video cards.
  
• It’s an improved driver with more bug fixes than the driver that is included with the Mac Pro (Mid 2010) system.

Possibly, but you'll have to either hand-modify the installer in order to run it on anything else than a MacPro5,1, or use Pacifist to extract the driver files from the installer package.

There's a thread about those drivers in the new releases forum. I think there's even a pre-modified installer available.

 

The drivers that come with the 10.6.5 update are newer btw.

 

Either way, you'll probably still have to add your device ID to the drivers. Google 'guide for all nvidia boards' to learn how.

Well i'm currently running the 10.6.5 update now, so should I even bother getting those drivers?

Only if you think it's a good idea to downgrade.
