NVIDIA has released their alternate graphics drivers for OS X Yosemite 10.10.0 These are separate from the drivers Apple ships as standard, and should be considered experimental. These drivers have been known to solve OpenCL issues with certain applications, as well as providing better native GPU power management for certain devices. NOTE: These drivers are currently the only method to get full acceleration for NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750, 750Ti, 970, and 980 'Maxwell' graphics cards. There are no current Macs with these cards, so support is absent natively in OS X. If you've installed the drivers before, you may get a notification to update to the 10.10.0 drivers from the built in System Preferences pane. NVIDIA Web Driver How to Install the Web Drivers: In order to flag the alternate drivers on a CustoMac using Chameleon/Chimera, you must install the package and also add the flag manually to the chameleon.org.Boot.plist.
If you use Clover, you can toggle back and forth using the standard menubar or system preference pane. Open Finder 2. Navigate to /Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist 3. Open in TextEdit 4. Add nvdadrv=1 to Kernel Flags as shown: Example Usage.

Reboot, but don't connect your screen to the video card yet. Go into the bios and disable IGFX, select PCIe 1st slot as the first selection. This will enable the bios to be displayed on your main screen connected to the video card. Now you can connect your screen to the video card. Boot into OSX, this will now be even faster than before.
