    Flashed NVidia PC card works on OS X 10.8 but not later versions

    EDIT: SOLUTION HERE I have a Mac Pro 5,1 (late 2009) which was sold to me with a Windows model NVidia GeForce EVGA GTX 680 4GB FTW graphics card. I don't know what most of those acronyms mean, but I was told it had been custom-flashed to work with Mac OS X, and so gave more power and VRAM for...

Backlight strobing, when implemented correctly, offers great clarity for moving scenes and brings you back to the days of CRT...
