[QUOTE="vodoochild81, post: 1475267, member: 157513"] Thanks but,they are not flashing any rom or doing any kind of "hacking" to get this to work. That was the old method and does not even require Mountain Lion, and yes that is totally a user beware scenario. The updates are on the Nvidia website so why would you need to flash it or why would there be a problem? Sure people are running into some issues but if you kept reading the threads it was all user error such as not installing the latest updates of the Nvidia Drivers and Cuda. Unfortunately this seems like the best the pro community will get until they just totally cut us off as well as the mac pro line. Some of these video cards do require two power cables to plug into a motherboard that might not be designed for it...I actually talked to a mac genius and he simple said "i would not recommend doing that." I could brick the machine. But I am not sure if that was just a political liability answer... Ah...times like this I don't get why I still use macs. [/QUOTE]
