Video - Efi - Injectors - and Enablers, oh my...

[pirat3]

I have been trying to get my graphics working better on my hackintosh, but throughout all of my searching everything that I find is far too specific. I'm hoping that someone can explain to me a little better what all of these things mean.

 

My screen works fine, but I can't change the resolution. I have manually changed it by adding the whole 1280x1024x32@75 thing to my /Extra/com.apple.boot.plist but graphics still seem sub-par. For example, when I try to watch video in fullscreen I get unbelievable lag with the video (but not the audio.)

 

I keep reading about injecters and efi strings. Are these thing just hacks to get graphics working, or will they full on get my card working "properly". I have tried both but I must be doing something wrong because I never have to ability to choose from a list of resolutions or video that will work fullscreen. Here are my specs, thanks in advance everyone.

I know this information isn't always 100% right, so I have also included a picture of the sticker on my video card. The one major difference that I have noticed is that os x is picking up that I have 256 ram instead of 512.
