EVGA GeForce 210 1GB - Broken On Mavericks?

I've had this graphics card for quite some time, and it has always worked flawlessly out of the box. I'm currently on ML 10.8.5 as I type this. After installing Mavericks GM with MyHack (new partition, fresh install), the graphics are stuck at 1024x768 and are choppy/slow (no QE/CI). They were this way during installation, and afterwards remained the same. Are there some changes or alternative method to get well-known OOB budget cards functioning on Mavericks? I don't remember having to mess with NVIDIA-specific kexts since 10.5/10.6. This card has always "just works."

 

Thanks in advance for any information you can provide.

 

Here's the output from ML (working great).

Never had a single issue with it, be it with the DPs or the GM. I smell an operator error: is it a clean installation? If GE=Yes isn't working, do as Rampage says. Good luck!

PS.: VGA is working...

 

The drivers have been buggy for a lot of users. 2 systems the same and the GPU would post on one and not the other using the same HDD! Been a strange issue. Since it is a cheap card not to much has been put into finding the real cause.
