Thanks gothic860. I miswrote that bit, I was doing it correctly. In the end I tried on top of a clean install and tada! Something must have been getting in the way in my old system. The first post-clean install showed 'Nvidea ASHLEY" as my card (progress of some sort!) after bashing away restarting and entering the terminal command numerous times, it worked! Then after a restart, it didn't! Things have settled down now and I am a happy Octane user. Thanks again and also to Mark and all who have developed this fantastic solution. Wucaiting, keep trying. It works! (Make sure that the nVidea driver is loading in system prefs not the Apple one)
