Nvidia K620 Drivers for Mavericks?

[trevmarps]

Hi everyone!
I have a Hackintosh that boots both Mavericks and Windows 7. I just bought a new Nvidia Quadro K620 video card without considering if it was compatible with OSX. Can anyone recommend the drivers to go with it? It works fine with Windows, but so far when I install the Nvidia drivers, the Mac get stuck on the Apple logo screen when booting.

Sincerely appreciated!
Trevor

The K620 is Maxwell-based, so you'll need at least Yosemite. I don't know if it's supported though, as it's a quite exotic GPU.

Thanks so much for your reply! I think your right, I just spoke with Nvidia and apparently only a select few of their video cards are mac compatible, and the K620 is not one of them... but then I found this thread which suggests someone got it working with OSX 10.11?

Thanks again!

The Nvidia WebDrivers enable most GPUs, although only very few are officially listed as "compatible". I guess the 1st level support at Nvidia doesn't even know about this...
The linked thread looks good, I'd give it a go.

Looks like you were bang on! Thanks so much for your help. I actually had another older hackintosh already with Yosemite OS collecting dust , so I installed the drivers (see below for anyone looking in the future) and it worked right away!
