Theres modified kexts out there for 950GMA, but not for performance
and that, more so for resolutions and device-id compatibility.

As for the 950GMA itself under OS X, it's meh. SC2 failed to work (it
even said it wasn't compatible, but it said this AFTER patching and
installing the whole thing, and even force running it led to mad
graphic corruption)

Idk how exactly Source games ran under it, but whatever game I tested
didn't seem to work that well.

However, I did notice that if you ran a source game under Crossover or
something, it gave better performance then it would with stock
drivers, but idk if it was the same as MD though with the software
vertex. If someone did try this though, see what mat_info reports
about it.

But other games like WoW (only tested since 3.x.x), and Diablo 2
worked fine lol. GTA SA (cider) and UT (cider) worked great as well.

But back to the modded kext thing, I wonder how (if possible) we could
mod it. So far, the 950GMA (no matter what kext/system/real
mac/hackintosh) has only 64MB of VRAM avalible reported via System
Profiler (and UT2004). And also for GMABooster, I think it does make a
difference (there was better results of Xbench before and after
clocking). But for modding a kext, I believe we would have to have the
source of it available for Xcode, not sure though.
