NVIDIA Web Drivers for 10.9.x Mavericks Found!

Hi,
the Driver is working with my MSI GTX780Ti, but the installation was a bit tricky.

Anyone else experienced that the Installer says that this Mac is not compatible?

My solution was to extract the kext with pacifist and install them manually.
Once they were installed I could run the installer.

Do you found a solution ?

I fixed it as the following:

  • Extract all Kext + control panel with pacifist
  • Install manually
  • Restart
  • Run Nvidia Webdriver Installer.

Is there an easier solution yet?
How does the Webdriver determine the Supported MacModel?
 
Sorry, but can you elaborate more on how you installed the nvidia drivers?
I am also experiencing "compatibility issues".

You said Extract all kexts + control panel with pacifist....?
exactly what kexts + control panel? where are these kexts?
How you installed them manually?
Also, what is your hackintosh's identifier?
I am wondering is it because my hackintosh identifier says its Mac Pro 6,1 which is causing incompatibility??

Sorry that I am asking some many questions... I am noob regarding hackintosh.

Thanks

No need to be sorry, you are welcome !

I used this to extract the kext:

and installed them with kextbeast

To everyone trying to install with a system definition not on a Mac Pro:
  • Copy the latest webdriver package to your desktop
  • Use the terminal commands to expand the .pkg into a folder called WebDriver (do not make the folder yourself - terminal will sort that for you)
  • Make the required edit
  • Repackage and install

Open terminal and type:
Code: 
pkgutil --expand ~/Desktop/WebDriver-334.01.01f01.pkg ~/Desktop/WebDriver

Open up your newly created folder 'WebDriver' on your desktop and search for the distrubtion file, edit with TextWrangler/Text Edit and change var found_hardware = 0 to:
Code: 
[COLOR=#000000]var found_hardware = 1[/COLOR]

Now that we have made the edit, need to repackage the installer. Remove the original .pkg from your desktop and type:
Code: 
pkgutil --flatten ~/Desktop/WebDriver ~/Desktop/WebDriver-334.01.01f01.pkg

You have now edited the .pkg installer to prevent from checking if you have the correct system definition!

Hi, I wanted to share my experience, as I just had a total success installing the Nvidia Web Drivers on OS 10.9.3 and adding a second Screen.

Here's my Setup:
Gigabyte Z87X-D3H

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 660 OC
OS 10.9.3
I had CUDA already installed (although I dont remember which version. I guess smth about 5.XXX)

I read this whole thread and just went for it :mrgreen:

- Graphicsenabler kext remained on "no" all the time
- I downloaded the WebDriver-334.01.01f01 straight from the nvidia homepage.
- Then I turned of my Hackintosh and unplugged my screen from the graphic card and plugged it to the mainboard (I didnt remove the card)
- Then I booted normally with the flag nv_disable=1 and installed the Driver.
- After the installation I restarted again with the flag nv_disable=1 and activated the Driver in the menu bar at the top.
- Then I turned the pc down and plugged the first screen back to the gtx 660 and I also plugged my second screen to the second analog output of the card (I dont know if hdmy works, as i dont use it)
- I boot the hackentosh normal, without any flag. Both screens work fine.
- Lastly I went into the CUDA menu and updated CUDA to the current version (6.0.46)
- Now everything works fine.

I personally didnt get any improvement in my LuxMark Benchmark. But both my screens work over the GTX 660 and Mavericks finally recognizes my card as "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 2047 MB". Before It showed "gtx 660 0 mb".

I hope I could help :)
Good luck to everyone

(Theoretically I guess I could plug a third screen to the Onboard graphics. But I cant try.)
