GTX 970 / GTX 980 are here

[_mikey]

Guys,

Do not install the Nvidia driver update that was released today (24-12) for your 970, or do so at your own risk.

I can get past the Apple logo, but then I get two grey screens. Starting in safe and verbose mode also won't work.

Any advice on how to uninstall the drivers, or other tricks to downgrade to the previous version?

thanks

Aris

You have 2 monitors right? this happens to me too... i have to start with only one monitor plugged in (DVI) and then plug in the 2nd (DP) after boot. MSI 970

Aha, so you installed anyway ;-) Thanks for the advice, works! I also use the MSI 970.


Let's hope they clean up this mess soon.. I'm hoping for some CUDA support for After Effects.

Since I wasn't able to get the GTX980 working in the X99M Killer, I put it in the GA-X58A-UD7.
Installed Yosemite, installed web drivers, installed GTX980.

Works great so far as I can tell, but Unigine Valley crashes as soon as it begins to run.
Going to try Luxmark next.

Here are some Lexmark benches

Hello, how did you connect the cinema display to the 970? This is a Display Port monitor, isn't it?

On my Gainward, 3 mini DP and both Cine Display 27 work fine.

Hi

Does anyone already test the Asus GTX 980 Strix with success ?

I have a Tri way SLI on my Gigabyte Z97 Gaming G1, I can boot without the nvidia driver, but I can't with, I had a Kernel Panic. I tried all method indicated in the thread without success.

thanks !

Asus Strix shouldn't behave differently from any other GTX 980, as the driver is from nVidia.

Hey man. I did the same exact process as you. I currently have the web drivers installed and the latest CUDA version as well.

I rebooted into BIOS and switched my HDMI and DVI cables to the GFX card. As soon as I boot it's spinning the internal fans and clearly receiving power. Then, about 1 minute after booting (can leave it at login chameleon screen or try and boot, same effect)... the fans stop spinning and the -v logs say the same thing GeForceSensors (pci1) fatal unknown chipset *HANG*

I am running Yosemite 10.10 with Mac 3,1 and all other drivers working.

Vt-d is Disabled and PCI 1 is default for boot.

I am so confused!! haha, any ideas?

Hi Swelly,

Is IGFX disabled as well?

Are you sure you are actually on the web drivers? Just because they are downloaded and installed doesn't necessarily mean you have told your system to operate from them.

Here is what I would do if I were you.

1.) Go back into BIOS and enable IGFX (internal graphics), boot via that with the boot arg nv_disable=1 (monitor connected to motherboard, not graphics card).

2.) Once in, open the Nvidia driver manager within system preferences. Click the Graphics Drivers tab, then make sure NVIDIA Web Driver is selected (not OS X Default Graphics Driver). This will require a restart and will add the proper boot flags for you.

3.) Go back into the BIOS and disable IGFX and set Initial Display Output to PCIe 1 Slot. Save and Exit and switch your monitor from the motherboard to the graphics card.

That process should get you up and running. If you want visual aids of these steps you can click the link in my profile (hackintosh) and check out my build that details the set up (the graphics card set up is towards the bottom of the first post).

Best of luck!

GTX 980 + Yosemite 10.10.1 + Latest nVidia Driver (343.02.01f01) + 4K TV (49UB8500).

the HDMI port works on the GTX 980 but only in 1080P with no audio.
Could not test the DP since the screen only has HDMI inputs.
DVI->HDMI Works and has audio but it only works in 4K30P but it some minor screen flickering (probably due to bandwidth).

With the previous driver (343.01.02f03) HDMI port does NOT work but the DVI works at 4K60P (obviously with even more flickering especially with audio enabled).

On windows 8.1 x64 the HDMI 2.0 works flawlessly in 4K60P, have yet to test the DVI but I'm sure it will have the same issues as it had in Yosemite with the older driver.
