To download and install the drivers, follow the steps below:

STEP 1: Make sure your macOS software version is v10.13 (17A365). It is important that you check this first before you install the 378.10.10.10.15.114 Driver. Click on the Apple icon (upper left corner of the screen) and select About This Mac. Click the Version number («Version 10.13») to see the exact build version number (17A365).

STEP 2: If your macOS software version has not been updated, in the About This Mac window, click on the Software Update button

STEP 3: Continue to install software updates until your system OS is reported to be v10.13 (17A365)

STEP 4: Review the NVIDIA Software License. Check terms and conditions checkbox to allow driver download.

You will need to accept this license prior to downloading any files.

STEP 5: Download the Driver File

STEP 6: Install
After downloading the driver package, it should automatically launch the installer. If it does not, double-click on the driver package from your download target location. It will guide you through the installation process. Click Continue after you read the License Agreement and then click Agree

STEP 7: Click Install on the Standard Installer screen. You will be required to enter an Administrator password to continue

STEP 8: Click Continue Installation on the Warning screen: The Warning screen lets you know that you will need to restart your system once the installation process is complete.

Installation Note: Because of improvements in macOS security, the Security & Privacy Preferences may open during the installation process. If it does, click «Allow» in order for the NVIDIA Graphics Driver to load, then return to the Installer.

STEP 9: Click Restart on the Installation Completed Successfully screen.

This driver includes the new NVIDIA Driver Manager preference pane, as well as an optional menu bar item for quick access to the preference pane and basic functions. The preference pane can be accessed normally through the System Preferences. It requires the user to click on the padlock icon and enter an Administrator password to make changes, and contains the following functionality:

GRAPHICS DRIVER TAB: Within this tab, the user can switch between the NVIDIA Web Driver and the default NVIDIA graphics driver that is included with macOS v10.13 (17A365). If the user switches between drivers, they must click the Restart button for changes to take effect.

ECC TAB: Within this tab, the user can enable or disable ECC functionality on supported graphics cards. The user will see a list of their system’s PCI-E slots and any devices installed in them. If a device supports ECC, the user will be able to check the Enable Error Correcting Codes box next to the list. If the device does not support ECC then the box will be grayed out. Once the user makes changes to ECC, they will be required to restart the system.

NOTE: Currently, the only NVIDIA graphics card that supports ECC functionality is the NVIDIA Quadro K5000 for Mac. Enabling ECC requires a portion of the graphics card’s usable memory size and bandwidth. In the Graphics/Displays section of your System Information, you may notice the “VRAM (Total)” amount of your NVIDIA Quadro K5000 drops from 4096 MB to 3584 MB when ECC is enabled. This is normal.

UPDATES TAB: This tab shows the version number of the NVIDIA Web Driver that is currently installed on the system and also allows the user to check for updates online. By clicking the Check Now button, the NVIDIA Driver Manager will ping NVIDIA’s master server to see if there is a newer version of the NVIDIA Web Driver available. There are also checkboxes for the user to allow the NVIDIA Driver Manager to check automatically for updates and to download them when available. If a new NVIDIA Web Driver is downloaded automatically, the user will be notified when it’s ready to be installed. Automatic checking is on by default.

MENU BAR ITEM AND UNINSTALLER: The NVIDIA Driver Manager also includes a checkbox to toggle a menu bar item on and off, and a button to open an Uninstaller app. The menu bar item includes the functionality of the Graphics Driver tab and a shortcut to launch the NVIDIA Driver Manager.

To uninstall the NVIDIA Web Driver and the NVIDIA Driver Manager, follow the steps below:

STEP 1: Open the NVIDIA Driver Manager from the System Preferences or through the menu bar item.

STEP 2: Click on the padlock icon and enter an Administrator password.

STEP 3: Click the Open Uninstaller button.

STEP 4: Click Uninstall and then Continue Uninstallation on the Warning screen: The Warning screen lets you know that you will need to restart your system once the installation process is complete.

STEP 5: Re-enter an Administrator password and click OK. Once the NVIDIA Web Driver and NVIDIA Driver Manager have been removed from the system, click Restart.

NOTE: If for any reason you are unable to boot your system to the Desktop and wish to restore your original macOS v10.13 (17A365) driver, you can do so by clearing your Mac’s NVRAM:

STEP 1: Restart your Macintosh computer and simultaneously hold down the “Command” (apple) key, the “Option” key, the “P” key and the “R” key before the gray screen appears.

STEP 2: Keep the keys held down until you hear the startup chime for the second time. Release the keys and allow the system to boot to the desktop.

STEP 3: The original macOS v10.13 (17A365) driver will be restored upon booting, although the NVIDIA Web Driver and NVIDIA Driver Manager will not be uninstalled from the system.

NVIDIA Releases Alternate Graphics Drivers for macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 (387.10.10.10.40)

Administrator

NVIDIA has released alternate graphics drivers for macOS High Sierra 10.13.6. 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 GeForce GTX 1050, 1050 Ti, 1060, 1070, 1070 Ti, 1080, 1080 Ti, TITAN Pascal, and TITAN Xp ‘Pascal’ graphics cards and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750, 750 Ti, 950, 960, 970, 980, 980 Ti, and TITAN X ‘Maxwell’ graphics cards. There are no current Macs with these cards, so support is absent natively in macOS.

If you’ve installed the drivers before, you may get a notification to update to the new drivers from the built in System Preferences pane.

How to Install the Web Drivers:
In order to use the alternate drivers on a CustoMac, you must first install the driver package.

As of macOS Sierra, nvda_drv=1 in config.plist under Boot > Arguments is no longer working to initiate drivers. Clover has been updated with a new System Parameter setting called NvidiaWeb.

There’s a new method for enabling the NVIDIA Web Drivers in the latest versions of Clover. It can be turned on and off by editing /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/config.plist to add SystemParameters/NvidiaWeb. This takes the place of nvda_drv=1 boot flag, which will not work in macOS Sierra+.

1. Mount EFI Partition
2. Open /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/config.plist with text edit, Xcode, or Plist Editor Pro
3. Edit as shown below:

4. Remove Boot/Arguments/nvda_drv=1 if necessary
5. Save and reboot

Emulated NVRAM:
Emulated NVRAM is required for support of NVIDIA Web Drivers on many desktop systems. Use MultiBeast to install Bootloaders > Clover UEFI Boot Mode + Emulated NVRAM. This allows for menu bar switch between NVIDIA Web Drivers and OS X Default Graphics Drivers.

Nvidia прекращает поддержку CUDA на macOS

Производитель графических процессоров NVIDIA отказывается от поддержки CUDA для macOS. Платформа для параллельных вычислений, использующаяся для аппаратного ускорения рендеринга во многих продуктах, «в последний раз» представлена в выпуске CUDA Toolkit 10.2, как сказано в логе изменений.

Новость нельзя назвать большим сюрпризом: Apple не комплектует свои продукты видеокартами NVIDIA последние несколько лет. Для потребительской линейки компания использует интегрированные карты от Intel, а для профессиональных станций, например, Mac Pro, iMac Pro или 16-дюймового MacBook Pro, — карты от AMD.

Однако даже подключить NVIDIA как внешнюю видеокарту (eGPU) стало проблемой, начиная с выхода macOS Mojave (10.14) в прошлом году: для последних карт просто нет драйверов. NVIDIA опубликовали официальное обращение пользователям, где сказали, что ничего с этим не могут сделать:

«Apple полностью контролирует драйверы для Mac OS. К сожалению, на данный момент NVIDIA не может выпустить драйвер без официального разрешения Apple.»

Разработчики Apple дали анонимный комментарий изданию Appleinsider, почему купертинская компания приняла такое решение:

«Речь не идет о том, что в Metal 2 нельзя добавить поддержку NVIDIA — у них отличные инженеры, и с производительностью проблем не будет. Просто кто-то наверху этого не хочет.»

Где получить аппаратное ускорение без CUDA?

Большинство коммерческих движков, включая V-Ray GPU, OctaneRender и Redshift, сейчас работают на CUDA. Фреймворк OptiX от NVIDIA, поддержку которого разработчики сейчас активно добавляют в свои продукты (например, последние версии Blender или V-Ray Next), тоже требует CUDA Toolkit.

Другие рендеры, например, Blender Cycles, поддерживают карты AMD с помощью OpenCL, но Apple прекратили поддержку и этого API, заменив OpenCL на собственный Metal 2.

Получается, что на момент выхода этой новости практически единственный вариант для пользователей Mac, которые хотят продолжать пользоваться аппаратным ускорением, — это AMD с Radeon ProRender. В будущем поддержка Metal API может также появится и в Redshift и OctaneRender.

Question: Q: NVIDIA Driver Support High Sierra

Okay, okay, okay. Seriously what the **** is going on.

I have the latest NVIDIA CUDA driver for my 15″ Late 2013 Retina MacBook Pro. That driver number is v9.0.222. It’s the second to be released since macOS High Sierra and the preference pain is STILL telling me it needs to be updated.

My Mac is so incredibly slow, laggy and sluggish because this driver clearly doesn’t work. Yet it’s been released by NVIDA for 10.13. I don’t get it.

I’ve got an NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M GPU.

How is it that NVIDIA release two drivers for this OS and they don’t work? Is there anything I can do? I there and older driver that works perfectly fine?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, macOS Sierra (10.12.3), Late 2013

I’m having a similar issue on my early 2013 rMBP, anything using the Nvidia GT650m crawls along.

Here is the post I made earlier today:

Your question would likely be better if directed at Nvidia on their sight

as these supplemental drivers, especially CUDA, are not standard Apple issue.

Nov 14, 2017 7:41 AM

I just posted a similar thread on NVIDIA’s forums:

I too have the 2013 MacBook Pro Retina and I can’t believe Apple and NVIDIA aren’t getting their stuff together (for lack of a better word).

It’s absolutely crazy.

Here’s a link I created on the Apple Forums:

This might help somewhat: you can switch between «NVIDIA Web Driver» and «Default macOS Graphics Driver». This setting is available from NVIDIA Driver Manager in your System Settings.

Note that in my case «Default macOS Graphics Driver» runs quite OK, but it complains about required update, which is not available (my driver version is: CUDA Driver Version: 387.99; GPU Driver Version: 355.11.10.10.20.111) every time I start my mac up. While «NVIDIA Web Driver» does not complain about the version, but in some applications like Google Maps, images simply turn black and do not display.

I hope this helps.
