Could anyone tell me when will the driver of nVidia GTX260 be beavailiable?

I ain't sure that whether or not anyone has asked this question before,
but i, who don't search much info before buying, do find a big driver problem why i upgrade the graphic card to GTX260+, which i fixed all the electricity problem, but hard to solve the driver problem
i heard the driver will be brought with X.6, could anyone name me a solution?
(i am sorry my english is poor)

Mac Pro Canroe 4 core, Mac OS X (10.5.6)

If you're looking to use the GTX 260 under OS X, you may be out of luck (10.5.6 doesn't support it, I don't think 10.5.7 will either, and 10.6 hasn't been finalized). That graphics card is as far as I know only supported under Windows. There are other options you can consider, like the ATI 4870 Mac Edition (you may need 10.5.7 and a graphics update for your Mac Pro). But if you are an Nvidia fan, and can wait until June, EVGA is bringing out a GTX 285 Mac Edition. Price and other info is not known yet, and I'm also not sure if it will be supported by your Mac Pro (2006?). Stay tuned.

You can and should research, you can never do enough, let alone too much, and save a lot of trouble.

eVGA is scheduled to offer their GTX 285 in the coming month(s). So for now, you are stuck to using yours in Windows is all.

The ATI Radeon 4870 needs 10.5.6+ or 10.5.7.
