NVIDIA Announces 'Pascal' Graphics Drivers Coming to MacOS

[eef]

I just noticed the ones above .. .will try them now.

I had mistakenly set IGPU / multi monitor while trying to get my second monitor to come up with my new GTX 1070.

Apparently it was just that the Display port connector was not plugged in tightly enough? That seemed to have fixed it.

how can I install mac os if I don't have a igpu?

As before Intel CPUs had built in graphics you can still use the low-res "VESA" mode of GPUs without drivers. Install a GPU and install, install GPU drivers, and reboot to full res graphics. I think you have to set some clover flags on these systems during installation, like nv_disable=1 if you have an nvidia card? not sure of those details.

and make your external 1060 (PEG) graphics primary.

Should it be PEG or PCIe? My BIOS has both. Any idea what's the difference between the two? :/

Does your BIOS have a screenshot feature? Otherwise, list the options exactly how they appear so we can see what you mean.

In my primary display options under SA config where i can select what GPU to select on board or discrete, i have options for IGFX, PEG & PCIe. Since my GTX 1070 sits in a PCIe slot, I assumed I had to select PCIe for enabling discrete GPU instead of IGFX. I don't know what exactly is PEG for.

PEG stands for PCI Express Graphics. This might refer to the PCIe slot provided by the CPU PCIe lanes. PCIe would then refer to any other PCIe lanes such as those provided by the PCH. You should see a device called PEG in IORegistryExplorer.

Set it to Auto. Always works.

I'm getting an error when I try to install these drivers on 10.12.5 saying that the installer is not supported with the package.
Anyone know of a workaround to this? A way to get the 10.12.4 installer? Or a way to manually install?

In case anyone else comes here with this issue it is well documented: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/solving-nvidia-driver-install-loading-problems.161256/#Problem2
