THE NEXT STEP:
Go here :

And download the Nvidia web drivers and go here
http://www.nvidia.com/object/mac-driver-archive.html
Make sure to get the latest CUDA drivers and install Cuda first and them the Nvidia web drivers. The Web ons will force a restart Don't do it yet just ignore the window;
A word from tony:
"1. Open Finder
2. Navigate to /Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist
3. Open in TextEdit
4. Add nvda_drv=1 to Kernel Flags as shown:
Example Usage:
Code:
[COLOR=#000000]
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>nvda_drv=1</string>[/COLOR]
5. Save and reboot
You should be on the new NVIDIA drivers."
NOW if the lines are already there then fine go ahead and restart and REMOVE THE USB with your unibeast on it.
You should be treated with Chimera and just boot right in with -v just to make sure everything is still working, and no kernel panic happens. If no KP happens move to,
LAST LAST STEP. If you get a KP manual shut down and reload using "nv_disable=1" no quotes will get you back into the loading screen, usually if you can't get to the desktop it is because you needed to add the kernel flag and string. here is what my plist looks like:
LAST LAST STEP:
Once this is done, and you can successfully load into the desktop make sure you select this:
Otherwise you'll load after install graphics card with 7-8mb for memory because your still selecting default drivers and it boots the graphics into some sort of safe mode. Shut down again and then install the Graphics card. Then start it up and you should be just fine. I ran LOL at a constant 60 FPS on medium settings. I could probably get better but this is just fine for me
Here is a screen of my About this mac window:
If you screen shows you have 7-8 mb on your graphics it is because you missed the kernel flags in plist and i would check them again and to select NVIDIA WED DRIVERS in the nvidia control panel or on the task bar:
Here is my Benchmark on extreme settings. I usually play on Low or medium and this same Benchmark on low settings tripled the frame rate:
Please recommend if this work for you! Leave a comment if help is needed! Hoping to build more! Happy Trails.
Original thread: http://www.tonymacx86.com/yosemite-...7mx-gaming-5-i5-4460-gtx-960-first-build.html changed a lot at first i was going for a gigabyte board. MSI was chosen for the color scheme.
Second Build: Silent Cheap Beast: Will post guide soon it is a MSI Z97 SLI Kraken MOBO. WITH BUILD PICTURES!
