I experienced frequent freezes after a fresh install with UniBeast (Lion 10.7.4), followed by MultiBeast and settings recommended for nvidia graphics cards and the issues pertaining to the 10.7.4 performance (SpeedStep adjustments, etc). Along with my system constantly freezing, this message continued to appear prior to apple screen when powering on computer:

Bad Display confif block signature (0x55555555)
Error: nVidia ROM Patching Failed!

So, I installed QUADRO & GEFORCE MAC OS X DRIVER RELEASE 270.00.00, and I no longer get the nVidia Rom Patching Failed message or computer freezes, and my system is running like a beast (knock on wood).

which system defiition do you use ?
 
Just installed, i'll see if it will help me with freezes. But OpenCL isn't working now. How did you enable it? Normally with MultiBeast? And I'd like to ask the same question as 84R7, which system definitions have you used? I'm just testing iMac12,2.

EDIT: And I only get 7.9 fps in cinebench :( (was getting 49 with multibeast/osx drivers) plus I get this:
Code:
15.06.12 15:11:00,351 Google Chrome Helper EH: AVF error: AVAHDGPURendererVP2VP3BoostVP3: AGPMSetBoost code = 0 returned 0xe00002c2 (ig)
when playing videos on youtube. So it seems that AGPM is disabled and the card can't get into higher modes because of that. Anyway, ML will come out in July and it should fix all Fermi problems.

EDIT 2: I got my OpenCL working with commands mentioned here:http://www.tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=35148, but LuxMark runs very slow.

EDIT 3: I changed system definition to MacPro3,1 and i get 49 fps in cinebench again. :) But I reinstalled the nvidia drivers before, so I don't have OpenCL yet.
