Hi Guys, I've been working on this for a few days, did lots of searching.. but no luck.


I just put a "new" rig together.

it's an Intel board: D77BH-55K
paired with a i7-3770 (3.9GHZ)
and 32GBof Ram.

I built a Fusion drive for the first time with an 128GB M1 SSD and a 2TB WesternDigital Black

and I have a ZOTAC GTX470 1280MB video card

I'v succesfully installed Sierra (10.12.2) without a hitch.
I ran multibeast without any issues either.

I was even able to install NVidia's Webdrivers-367.15.10.25f02, again without issues. it installs fine, I reboot.. but no acceleration.
in About this Mac: it shows Graphic: "Point of view Geforce GTX 470 1280 MB"
(not sure what Point of view is)

it knows what it is... but no acceleration :( just artifacts

When I search I don't get much help with this older video card and new OS.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks.

I check GTX 470 but is not compatible with MacOS Sierra. End of support Apple/Nvidia for older GT/GTX card like GT 620 , GT 630 or GTX 470. Believe or not but it is a waste of time for searching any solve.

Update: I have broken GTX 470. On next GTX 470 card with nvidia inject =Yes and nvidia web driver all works ok with full acceleration !
