same problems here with GTX1070.
Can't get it to work.

Tried different boot flags with latest driver..
Running MacOS Sierra 10.12.4..
 
Can someone link me to the new Nvidia Pascal driver? I do not see Mac available in list of operating systems on Nvidia's website.

Top of the list in the Downloads.

Thanks! So to confirm 378.05.05.05f01 for Sierra 10.12.4 is the Pascal ready driver?
 
Got my Palit GeForce 1050 Ti working, here is a step by step from a newbie perspective if someone is interested. I had Sierra 10.12.3 with 550 Ti before the update.

1. Downloaded the new web driver for 10 series.
2. Turned off "Inject NVIDIA" from Graphics section in Clover Configurator (that's all that was needed to make my 550 Ti work), rebooted.
3. Updated to Sierra 10.12.4 via AppStore (backup your stuff, I just went YOLO).
4. After successful update I have installed the new web driver and rebooted.
5. Graphics driver was set to OS X Default all the time, so I went to Clover Configurator and checked NvidiaWeb in SystemParameters section.
6. Rebooted and it works!

Notes for future travelers:
  1. Update your Clover config for NvidiaWeb: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/new-method-for-enabling-nvidia-web-drivers-in-clover.202341/
  2. If you're having trouble getting the "Nvidia Web Driver" setting to persist in Control Panel, install updated Clover and remember to select "EmuVariableUefi-64.efi" from the drivers section. (Def had to do this on GA-Z170X-Designare)
  3. If you're getting black screen on boot on iMac 17,1, remember to disable IGPU in BIOS and install NvidiaGraphicsFixup/Lilu as listed here: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...-imac-15-or-imac-17-system-definition.183113/ (I did so in EFI/Clover/kexts/10.12; this replaces AGDPFix)
Otherwise happy to report that with the prep work above there was no other mucking about to be done:

(Edit to add a note about NvidiaGraphicsFixup replacing AGDPFix)
