So looks like I may have stumbled on something that works, this is only for advanced users though and I take no responsibility for any issues arising from following the below steps.

Nvidia released new MacOS 10.8.2 drivers, but you need to change the .dist file before they will install. Generally nvidia drivers work with all their GPUs, but they only release drivers for GPUs they actually specifically tested, anyways.

First thing first, check that you are on MacOS 10.8.2 (Mountain Lion), installing these drivers on any other version of MacOS will break your system and you'll be unable to boot, you've been warned!

1) Install the latest Nvidia CUDA drivers found here, no need to change anything these install without having to modify anything

2) Install the latest Nvidia MacOS drivers, these does not support MacBook pro retina by default so you'll have to modify the package.
Link: http://www.nvidia.com/object/macosx-304.00.05f02-driver.html

3) After you download open the Retail-304.00.05f02-macosx file and shortly after a new window should open called NVIDIA Drivers. Inside is an icon looking like an open box and the filename is 304.00.05f02 Web Release.

4) Drag this box to your desktop

5) Right click the file on your desktop and select Show Package Content

6) Expand the Content folder and you'll see a file called Distribution.dist

7) Right-click and select open with, then Other...

8) Scroll down until you find TextEdit, double-click TextEdit

9) Locate this line: var found_hardware = 0;

10) change 0 to 1 so the line reads: var found_hardware = 1;

11) Close Textedit

12) Close Finder

13) Double click the 304.00.05f02 Web Release file that you copied to your desktop

14) Let it install, when it asks you to reboot, click reboot

15) Hope it works!

So far it's been working for me, but I only tested for a few hours, so no guarantees this fix is permanent, but for me it was worth a shot at least!
