However; as always, after Updating the OS, the NVIDIA Driver Manager WILL Prompt you to Update to ".134". [EDIT:] I ALSO suggest that you GO BACK several Posts to my "Step By Step" Instructions!

ONE CANNOT HAPPEN WITHOUT THE OTHER, as described to me early on in my Hackintosh learning curve from 2016 in El Capitan.

Items to check in order to verify graphics acceleration include: Finder's bar translucency Supported Features in DVDPlayer app Smoothness and speed of LaunchPad All of those are not how they should be, I always check the menu bar translucency, moving of finder windows on the desktop and opening the Launchpad, which all of those are laggy (just like no driver at all tbf) yet the driver is installed (tried the Benjamin-dowell script, Nvidia installer itself and insanelymac‘s Nvidia driver program), my 1080 is being shown in About my Mac, system report and I can fully access the driver panel with all its settings would love any help, thanks x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you boot with Clover, did you tick/set Web Driver box in CC or boot with nvda_drv=1? Why don't you post a zipped copy of your Clover EFI folder? If you cache add-on kexts from /S/L/E or /L/E, please specify which. I have NvidiaWeb ticked in CC, nvda_drv=1 is also on (tried both by themselves and still didn‘t work) I will upload my EFI as soon as I get home, which should be in 20 minutes edit : forgot to say that in the menubar in the Nvidia panel it‘s showing the Web driver ticked (I’d assume it‘s loading it then) Edited February 7, 2020 by kamii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So thanks for taking your issue elsewhere and opening a separate thread in the relevant and appropriate section. thank you for the starting point of it being clover related, guess i'll see if i can get some help in another thread on here, hopefully it'll get figured out thanks !

Logician Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Finally got this working. I'm not sure why, but updating web drivers is a huge pain in the ass for me. I have to disable SIP (remove the key in Opencore config.plist), Clear/Clean NVRAM, install the drivers, reboot, reenable SIP, and enable the web drivers from the menu icon. Anything else gives me a black screen and/or the "Default macOS graphics driver" [nice lowercase m there]. I'm not sure they're even making any changes at this point other than updating Info.plist to match the build of MacOS. I suppose I could diff the binaries but meh.

In the Pics. provided, the Intel UHD-630 is being displayed as your Primary GPU for your Display. Can you see if Switching the Video Card to the NVIDIA GPU, from within MacOS, will bring up the Specs of the NVIDIA GPU in "About This Mac"? I'm NOT sure where in the Preferences Section this is done, but I've seen this mentioned in other Threads. TimeLord04 @pitrysha, CUDA Driver 418.163 is the LAST CUDA Driver for MacOS AND works JUST FINE in High Sierra. TimeLord04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MegaworM Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 (edited) I recently downgraded from Mojave to High Sierra (by first installing the original Mavericks with cmd+opt+shift+R then upgrading to High sierra from there). My intention is to be running Daz Studio and utilizing CUDA with my Nvidia GTX 680, on my Mac Pro 2013 through my Sonnet breakaway box and TB2 -> TB3 adapter. Not the finest card but better than CPU-only rendering. I had this setup working previously, with Daz studio recognizing the card as a CUDA device. However, after 2 days of trying to get this to work, I am having issues: 1. The eGPU disconnect icon does not appear in the menu. 2. The GPU is not recognized in the Displays window of About This Mac. Connecting a display after hotplugging the Thunderbolt to the external GPU results in no signal being output, and no additional monitor being added to the Displays preference pane. Connecting a display before hotplugging results in a red screen and a kernel panic. 3. The card is displayed in the Graphics tab of System Profiler. Purge-wrangler reports a successful patch. Nvidia web drivers detect the GPU and install successfully. CUDA drivers install successfully but then CUDA does not work. 4. CUDA driver system preference pane displays there is an update required, but there is no update available. 5. Security update 2020-01 is safe, according to the recent posts on this forum. It is installed, but CUDA does not seem to be happy with my installation. With all the above issues, Daz studio is not seeing the device as a CUDA rendering device. What could be the issue here? Thank you for your time. Edited March 14, 2020 by MegaworM clarification Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimeLord04 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 @MegaworM, The GPU you are using, (GTX-680), IS NATIVE to MacOS. The Web Driver IS NOT REQUIRED for you. Notice in the CUDA Driver Info. that the GPU Driver Version that it is looking for is 355.11.10.10.40.102 NOT the Web Driver 387.10.10.10.40.134 which you have installed! This is what the "Update Required" is referring to, NOT that the CUDA Driver needs updating. See also the "No newer CUDA Driver available" statement that supports that the CUDA Driver 418.163 IS the current CUDA Driver. The 355.11.10.10.40.102 NVIDIA Driver that is being mentioned IS the MacOS Default Driver that 'should' be used for your GTX-680. You still CAN use the Web Driver, if you choose, but it may be best to Uninstall the Web Driver in favor of the stock MacOS Driver for your Card. CUDA Driver 418.163 can be left alone and remain installed. TimeLord04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CUDA Driver 418.163 can be left alone and remain installed. TimeLord04 This is not my experience. I started with no web driver installed in the first place. I only installed it because CUDA would not work AND it is included in the guide at https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/309986/tut-making-cuda-drivers-work-on-your-mac-and-render-much-faster-with-gpu and here https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/4708656/ and here https://egpu.io/forums/pro-applications/egpu-to-work-with-iray-render/. All those setups feature screenshots with both nvidia and cuda drivers installed and specify to install the 387 nvidia drivers and the 418 cuda drivers. Then they show the GPU as displaying for a render device in DAZ. Now as I see your reply I already have a system state with CUDA installed, and no web driver was ever installed yet on this system state, and still no GPU showing in DAZ studio. So where do I go from here? As you can see the nvidia web driver is not even installed. I am using the macos drivers and have the updated driver, but its still saying update required, so doesn't that mean the update required message is referring to some other issue?

TimeLord04 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 @MegaworM, The GTX-680 is a Kepler Card. This is why it worked in Mojave. Maxwell and Pascal Cards are NOT able to work in ANYTHING above High Sierra. Maxwell: GTX-750TI SC/8x0/9x0 Cards Pascal: GTX-10x0 Cards Turing: GTX-16x0/RTX-20x0 Cards <-- (Will NEVER work in MacOS) Maxwell and Pascal Cards REQUIRE NVIDIA Web Drivers to run in MacOS. As Noted a couple of pages back, people with the 750M Card, (also Kepler), were having GREAT difficulty using the 750M WITH Web Drivers. Going back to their Pre and Post Web Driver Installation Pictures - Pre Web Driver, the 'About This Mac' Info. DID show the 750M listed in High Sierra. Their Post Web Driver Installation DID NOT show their 750M. Hence the Web Driver was NOT recommended. Hence why I've recommended to you that you remove it. @Hervé even stated that for Kepler, (Native), Cards, (which he uses himself), that the Web Driver is NOT NECESSARY for Kepler Cards. So, why you have problems both WITH AND WITHOUT the Web Driver goes above my head. Someone like @Hervé, or @fantomas, or @chris1111 that has more Web Driver experience will need to chime in here.

Nothing more to it really... I finally got it working. I was not aware but I was stuck on a build that was not supported by nvidia. And it told me there was no updates until I ran the script at dosdudes website to enable more software updates. So now I have the most up to date macos build and everything is working as normal. Thank you for helping me navigate this issue! Edited March 17, 2020 by MegaworM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
