Nvidia D33088 Video Card Drivers For Mac

I played it safe. I bought an EVGA modular power supply and jumpered the pins so that it thought power was on. I connected two video power cables to the PSU and snaked them into the case though an empty PCI slot opening. Running a Gigabyte GTX 980 Gaming card. Room for another on the PSU and in the Mac Pro 5,1. I keep the PSU switched on. I have the Mac set to NOT update MacOS, nor to reboot after power failure.

I religiously shutdown Mac and then hit switch on power strip that handles Mac and EVGA PSU. To start up i reverse the process. This way there is always power available for the card(s). Web driver work in Sierra.

Card also works great in Windows 10 under Bootcamp. A tip: I bought a MacPro 5,1 with GTX980 (and GT120) from you in March. Since then I have performed several updates, some of which result in a black screen because Apple have tinkered with the drivers. To get round this, as well as switching off and swapping the GPU for the GT120, another way is to use the “Share Screen” function from another networked Mac. This displays the log-in screen, and allows you to access, download and update the Nvidia drivers without having to dig the MacPro out of the rack.

Nvidia Mac Web Drivers

It works for me Guy. First of all, thank you so much for your positive declaration that a Mac Pro 2009 5.1 is good to go for installing the macOS Sierra system. Like many people I have invested time and money upgrading my System only to be informed that Apple was about to consign my proud `new` machine to the knackers yard!!! Your news has given me so much confidence, that I have purchased a GTX 1080 Founders Edition card. If and when dear old Nvidia creates the Mac drivers for this speedster it will certainly be the icing on the cake for me. What started out as a very modest early 2009 Mac Pro has almost closed the gap on the shiny Trash Can Pro performance! Have a mac pro 5.1 running OSX 10.12.1 Installed a new gtx 980 ti using the latest drivers cuda 8.0.53 and quadro geoforce 158f03.

Graphics work great in either DP or HDMI connection, but I get absolutely no audio. The monitor is no longer listed as an audio output device, and in system/hardware/audio: there is no listing anywhere for either HDMI or Display port as an audio source. So the bottom line is that i get great 4K video, but no sound. Any ideas how to remedy this? Here is one crazy thing i noticed, I replace the original ATI HD 5770 to get my sound back, but left the Nvidia drivers on the mac. Those drivers are running the HD5770 at 4K with no issues and sound!!!

How is that possible for a non 4K rated video card to run 4k with another mfg driver? That question is just for curiosity, what i really want to fix is the sound on the GTX 980ti. All help and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

I’m wondering if you can help me remedy some behavior we’ve been experiencing at the studio with a similar setup. Every so often while using video card heavy workflows (editing 6k video, rendering composite vfx) we’ll experience what we’ve been calling BSOD, or, the “black screen of death”. Basically, everything just locks up for one second, then the screens go black.

The machine becomes totally unresponsive, and requires a reboot. You can’t screen share. No sleep-mode wake up. We first tried addressing the issue by having our GTX 980’s flashed with the correct firmware through a service provided by MacVidCards.com. This gave us our Apple logo back on startup, but did not seem to improve the regularity of BSOD occurrences. We were then lead to believe that perhaps it was a power supply issue, where heavy tasks we’re basically cooking the motherboard and causing the machine to seize up.

So we purchased external power supplies to run as dedicated power to the card. It seems to have helped reduce the amount of BSOD occurrences slightly, but not completely eliminating them. We’re currently on the latest release of Adobe software using the 2017 versions of Premiere and After Effects heavily. Any help/insight would be much appreciated! Here’s our setup: Model: Mac Pro (Mid 2012) OS: 10.11.5 Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 (4096M MB) Processor: 2 x 2.66GHz 6-core Intel Xeon Ram: 128GB DDR3 Power Supply: Corsair CX Series CX750M We have the latest NVIDIA and CUDA Updates installed.

Hi there, I’ve a question regarding a tower I got from you guys last year. Currently 1x 980ti (6gb) fitted in there, but I’d liked to add another 980ti or a 1070.

My question is, do you think it would be better to fit the new card in the 2x slots I have free, and change the PSU, or will the cards be too close together and potentially overheat? So the second option would be to put the new card in an external chassis, and link to PCIe, with it’s own power. Which if either do you think is the better option? Thanks a lot, Alex. Hello, I followed your guide to install my NVIDIA GTX 980 on my Mac Pro 5.1 (late 2012) about a year ago, maybe less. I had everything working great, even audio over HDMI with a few kexts I found. Whenever I had an OS update I’ve always been able to swap the native card back in, install driver updates, and good to go again.

But I updated to 10.12.2, and now I get a black screen on startup, as if the display simply doesn’t recognize the GPU. I swapped back in the AMD card and confirmed my NVIDIA web driver and CUDA drivers were both up to date, but it’s still not working. By the way thanks for the guide and thanks in advance for the help! I installed and ran a GTX 960 on my MacPro Tower for the last 10 months. Then today I installed a software update and these Nvidia drivers are no longer compatible with my computer.

I cannot reinstall the drivers either. It gives me an error message “Mac OS X version is not compatible”.

I reached out to Nvidia chat support and they simply told me the GTX 960 is not supported by Nvidia running on a Mac. Buyer beware, this is not a stable solution for better graphics performance! I hope at some point soon a new software update from Nvidia or Apple will make using my card possible again.
