Unable to get graphics card working  it says " version no compatible"  GPU is an Nvidia  750Ti 

 

As usual :

sudo nano /System/Library/Extensions/NVDAStartupWeb.kext/Contents/info.plist

Then change NVDARequiredOS to this (assuming you're indeed on 16B2327e) :

<key>NVDARequiredOS</key>
<string>16B</string>

Repair permissions, rebuild kernel cache and reboot.

Off Topic:
Too bad that I’m not a good programmer. Would be a fun project taking/reversing the maxwell driver and writing/patching a kext to support pascal. Linux support is here, the framebuffer mode is already working on OSX, FreeBSD drivers are downloadable from nvidia.
Looking at the sizes of the kexts is interesting. Nvidias kexts are small, compared to AMDs...
Maybe we have to buy a GTX1080 for Slice :lol:

This are the binary drivers from FreeBSD, even some source code is included:

Apple has released 10.12.1 for devs.

Do not install! The current Nvidia driver (...F01) is NOT WORKING!

 

I have a flashed GTX960 and the flickering is terrible :-) So wait for Nvidia to catch up with Apple.

 

Cheers,

 

Marc

 

Hi,

 

It's not the first time... read post #390

I have GTX 980 and X99 platform. nvidia drivers working well dont use boot arg nvda_drv=1 on Mac OS Sierra . slice autor of clover write about that here http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/304530-clover-change-explanations/page-2 last time when clover has been updated  "

Rev 3733

It was my mistake setting nvda_drv=1 flag as boot-args. No! It is NVRAM variable nvda_drv that can have a value "1".

So I make new config value"

 

    <key>SystemParameters</key>

    <dict>

        <key>NvidiaWeb</key>

        <true/>

    </dict>

 

thats all guys everything works :)

 

 

Hi, ony solution for CHAMELEON users to get the old  nvda_drv=1 work in SIERRA again?

I cant get (like in older OS X) the drivers loaded /used anymore :(

 

I have luck, because my gou GT 640 also works with Apple drivers but want to use Nvidia Web drivers.

I'm using Clover 3763 (latest from the website at the time of writing) and the normal nvda_drv=1 boot arg works fine for me.

I have these graphics issues...

does anyone know how to fix?

 

@GTX 750Ti with web driver

I have gotten the same transparency graphics issues with my GT730. Even with the latest f01 update of Nvidia web driver for Sierra. How did you managed to fix yours mate? Surprisingly, the previous Nvidia 10.11.6 update for El Capitan works wonders. The graphics glitches happened after I updated through system preferences pane of Nvidia web driver to the latest f01. Any idea of how do I roll back to the El Capitan nvidia web driver? I tried installing it but there's an error saying the software cannot be installed on 10.12 machines. Cheers.

Just wanted to tell, Cinebench R15 has the error "Strings not found" on startup for me, clicking the Icon, but works well in Sierra if started from terminal:

Downloads/CINEBENCH_R15/CINEBENCH\ OSX.app/Contents/MacOS/CINEBENCH\ OSX

Just FYI

PS: (on Nvidia GTX970: Geekbench 4.0.1 exits on OpenCL Benchmark (just Nvidia related??) and CUDA-Z can't be started because of missing cuda (7.5.30 is installed) ??).

Your Cuda version doesn't support macOS Sierra. The next update should fix this.

I have OpenCL problems with Adobe CC programs (no OpenCL preview or rendering). Don't know if its Adobe or Nvidia related...

I dont have dvi port, i use hdmi, I have only nvidia graphics card, no intel cards

You don't have a display port or dvi you could try?? maybe switching the connector, mine, next to mainboard, works best, some ports work better than others...

Edit: Oh, I just saw you have a mobile grafic card, sorry
