NVIDIA Releases Alternate Graphics Drivers for 10.10.0 (343.01.01f01) with 'Maxwell' GeForce GTX 970 and 980 Support

I'm using iMac late 2013 definition.
Thanks for the hint, I'll try Mac Pro / Mini - which model/year definition are you using?

Please confirm if changing the definition to Pro/Mini solves the power management issue.

Thank you!

Partially. I've tested Mac Pro 6,1 definition.

In Opera clocks scales down 30-60 seconds after page was rendered. On Mavericks page display caused only few seconds bump.

In Preview clocks stays up as long as application is opened. But they are not stuck, closing preview causes them to scale down.

Thanks cccip!


Edit: I've also tested MacMini6,2 and got permanent clocks bump after using Preview app. So in my case only using MacPro definition does the trick.

hy Everyone,

Based on Tony's guide (10/10 as always. GREAT JOB !! ) I completed my Yosemite update without any issues. The GTX 980 point of view I suffer in HDMI black screen issue. The display port has already ordered. As I get it I could step forward and report about the experiences.

Hopefully it will work.

One tip to buyer's guide : GA-Z97 SOC FORCE has a DIP Switch which could disable specific PCIE slot. It was quite useful in reg. of installation in a case of GTX 980 installed.


On the other hand HDMI - > DP is also necessary as NVidia G-sync ( useful feature ) only available with DP port.

What is your suggestion is it possible to get sound on my SAMSUNG TV ( used as a pri. monitor) supplied by a DP port under OSX ? Is it more likely then HDMI or it is not "supported" yet ?

THX

I've installed the driver and it seems to be working but in "About this Mac" under graphics it says "Unknown 0 MB" I'm using clover if that makes a difference and this is my first CustoMac. My GPU is a MSI GTX 970

NP, mate.

My clocks going down with ~5sec delay after preview or any other OpenCL releases the hardware - like it should (since 10.9.2 driver release).
Also, during installation I had wiped S/L/E from Mavericks in order to get all vanilla kexts with no edits.

I am at wits end here and really need some help guys! I can't get my second graphics card to work with anything. I have tried both the default drivers and the Nvidia web drivers on multiple smbios settings.

Here are my specs: two Nvidia GTX 780 3gb, Gigabyte OC Force z87, intel i7 4770k, 3.1 mac pro setting.

The picture attached is what the system profiler says. It detects a display and a card but it says a kext isn't loaded.

I have no clue where to go. I have been stuck at 10.9.1 with this issue and I need a fix big time.

I'm no expert but I do have three 780s going under Clover/Yosemite and had them going under Chimera/Yos and Chameleon/Mavericks.

Are you on Clover? For me, only one card would work until I got the SMBIOS right. If you're on Chimera, I'm not sure what the issue would be as they always worked for me there.

Do you see multiple adapters getting loaded in the verbose boot?

Have you tried shutting off the injections for Intel and Nvidia?

Don't the connector types have to be changed? Looks like they're all the same. I don't know if it matters or not for this purpose.

NVIDIA Releases Alternate Graphics Drivers for 10.10.0 (343.01.01f01) with 'Maxwell' GeForce GTX 970 and 980 Support

My clocks going down with ~5sec delay after preview or any other OpenCL releases the hardware - like it should (since 10.9.2 driver release).

I cannot figure out why it works partially in my case on MacPro and doesn't work at all on MacMini6,2 definition that you are using...

My kexts were never modified in /S/L/E - I have simple UEFI only setup + Clover that does all binary patching.

Can you please post your boot params and output of "kextstat | grep -v apple" command?
