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.
Update Graphics Card Driver For Windows 7
Nvidia GPUs receive driver updates soon after each version update of OS X. Only one driver is released by Nvidia and it includes support for all of their modern GPUs. You will not find individually named Nvidia drivers for OS X, they are all titled 'Quadro & Geforce Mac OS X Driver Release xxx.xx.xxxxx'. The following list includes links to current and past Nvidia driver releases.Some releases of OS X have multiple driver releases. In the list below these are differentiated by a build number in parentheses, and are ordered oldest to newest, left to right. Refer here to check your OS X build number and install the driver that matches both your version of OS X and your build number.
Nvidia cards also require a CUDA driver to enable CUDA support. The CUDA driver archive can be found here. Install the latest CUDA driver that works with your currently installed version of OS X to enable CUDA support.
