By locating a Mac rom and flashing your graphics cards, and installing the drivers.

Personally I picked up a EVGA GeForce GTX760 SuperClocked as Im.

Based around the Fermi architecture first brought to bear earlier this year, the company is now looking to solidify the of the 175 GeForce GTX 460 cards by debuting new graphics processors at a lower price point.

NVIDIA is squarely targeting the 129 Radeon HD 5750 with this new GPU, and this review will determine if NVIDIAs managed to balance snips in architecture and performance with the keener price.

GF104 What youre looking at is a full-fat GF104 block diagram.

Composed of eight Streaming Multiprocessors - blocks of shader units - that house 48 CUDA cores each, the design allows for a total of 384 shaders.

These are backed up by 64 texture units - eight per SM - 512KB of GPU-wide L2 cache, 32 ROPs and a 256-bit memory interface to GDDR5 memory.

The 1,024MB card is equipped with a full complement of supporting logic, while the 768MB GPUs design is such that it provides 24 ROPs and a 192-bit memory interface.

The new GPU is composed of one GPC, meaning that its home to 192 CUDA cores (shaders), 32 texture units, 16 ROPs, 256KB L2 cache, and a 128-bit memory interface to 1,024MB of GDDR5 memory.

GeForce GTS 450, then, can be considered to be slightly more than one-half a retail GeForce GTX 460 1,024MB card.

NVIDIA, however, has made no indication of bringing this particular design to market, so all shipping GF106 parts will have two sets of eight ROPs and a 128-bit interface.

NVIDIA is literally banking on this fact, as the GF106 weighs in at 1.17bn transistors, compared to GF104s 1.95bn.

Speeds and feeds An aggressive chop in architecture means that NVIDIA needs to keep GPU frequencies at high levels in order to compete with the mid-range Radeons.

To this end, the GeForce GTS 450 1,024MB is rated at 783MHz core clock, 1,566MHz shaders, and 3,608MHz memory.

Compare this with a 675MHz core and 3,600MHz memory clocks on the GTX 460.

There are no real surprises here, but the recent price reduction of GTX 460 cards - a 768MB GPU currently retails from 120 - intimates that NVIDIAs price positioning is vital for the nascent success of the GTS 450.

Lets now stack it up against its most-immediate competition.
