Don't forget to plug your video card before installing the driver (otherwise it will say your computer is not compatible). Then, remove nv_disable=1 and use nvda_drv=1 in your boot args.

Enjoy! My GTX 750 Ti is now more than happy

YES! YES! YES!
This should be the most amazing screenshot in 2014, can't wait to get my 750ti card back into business!
Thank You!

What I did :

1. Clean install of Yosemite with Clover, without the video card.
2. Add nv_disable=1 in boot args
3. Connect the card
4. Reboot
4. Install the latest NVIDIA Web Drivers
5. Remove nv_disable=1, add nvda_drv=1
6. Reboot, but don't connect your screen to the video card yet.
7. Go into the bios and disable IGFX, select PCIe 1st slot as the first selection. This will enable the bios to be displayed on your main screen connected to the video card. Now you can connect your screen to the video card.
8. Boot into OSX, this will now be even faster than before

I don´t understand.

"6. Reboot, but don't connect your screen to the video card yet.
7. Go into the bios......."

Go into the bios without screen? How to do this?
Thanks.

Heh, at that moment your screen is still connected to the integrated graphics. He's just asking not to switch from the integrated graphics to the video card yet, so when you reboot can see the BIOS without problems.

Those drivers have made a WORLD of difference in the only games I play - Diablo 3 and StarCraft II. Particularly D3 - I used to get a lot of stutter even with the web drivers in Mavericks, and also with the built-in drivers in Yosemite. It disappeared with the 10.10 web drivers.

Scroll down to the Alternate Graphics Card section on the October Buyer's Guide (there are some Maxwell cards listed):

So is the OpenCL working for the 970 and 980? Somebody should try Luxmark, I think.

I'm trying to get this driver up and running with mine GTX 660-Ti but it won't work.

When I boot with -v I see the following message:
GeForce Sensors: still waiting for accelerator to start

The default driver works fine but the problems started when I switched to the NVIDIA web driver.
I'm using the flag nvda_drv=1 with SMBios MacPro 3,1.

Does somebody know how I can fix this?

Thanks!

Has anyone gotten CUDA working with GTX 970?

OpenCL seems to be working. LuxMark v2.1 ran and got 2184 for scenes/sala/render.cfg.

CUDA isn't working yet.
