We will call it a noob moment and leave it at that. haha I always thought nVidia worked on their own drivers and then would get integrated into OS X by Apple (if user not installed with the nVidia installer). But now I do understand that Apple and nVidia are releasing drivers at their own.. thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rampage Dev Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Why ? As you have a choice via pref pane ? This is needed when you are not using a proper NVram Module, Fusion or Raid Installs as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Deal Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Thanks for the explanation. As soon as the 10.8.4 update is out, this nVidia drivers will be obsolete i imagine ? We can't install them on 10.8.4 beta builds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't install them on 10.8.4 beta builds. No, they should work side by side but we will know more when the time comes. It will be nice to have a stable backup incase the new drivers have bugs.
