Give me a few minutes, I am going to try to fix the driver kext.

OSX 10.7.4 breaks the “MAGIC ” support.

I have a feeling that Nvidia will release new drivers for 10.7.4 soon, but until then I will figure out and post a fix.

EDIT: OK, here is a quick fix. This will enable the driver to include GTX570 and GTX580.

I will do one for GTX560 later on.

If you were using the “”self init” feature, you will also need to install ATY_Init from Netkas.

If you had one of our EFI cards, this should do it by itself.

You will need to use Kextdrop or Kexthelper to install this once you unzip it.

If you are using an EFI card, you will have one screen still functional to “see” from while you install this. If you were using the “Magic” feature, the card will be black as night until you install this fixed next AND ATY_Init.

If you were using Magic Drivers to run a GTX4xx card, you don’t need this fixed kext, just ATY_Init.

Anyone has tested, is very curious because 10.7.4 in mbp runs super fast, first time it does with lion.

with the last nvidia drivers is again everything working ok ?

Even with Nvidias latest driver update 10.7.4 broke OpenCL support for Nvidia cards.

I downgraded to 10.7.3 from TimeMachine backup -> Apple mail stuck while (forced) re-import of my mails, so I had to rebuild my 10.7.4 system from the backup I did before downgrading. Thanks Apple: great user experience! 🙁

Yep, they are getting better and better for pro users .

The OpenCl fix is pretty much same as before.

So does the new nVidia drivers get back the same magic functionality as in OSX 10.7.3?

I’ve got a new Mac Pro waiting to get set-up, and a GTX 580 in the mail…

BTW: How is it with the 6-pin mini power connector to 8-pin plug. Any suggestions for a nice cable?
