Okay so I spend a lot of time of the steam forums. On there, someone posted that if you have the supported cards listed, you can download graphics card drivers straight from nvidia.com for OS X. I was weary at first, but I downloaded them anyway.
I have a 2008 iMac with the 8800 GS card (8800M GTS) and before I updated the drivers, I was getting 40 fps on L4D2 with medium settings. Now, I get 40 fps with max settings on L4D2 on OS X. So that's a pretty big increase.
My question is, why haven't these drivers been announced for download if they give a big increase in performance?
