NVIDIA Releases Alternate Graphics Drivers for 10.10.0 (343.01.01) with 'Maxwell' GeForce GTX 970 an

[mm2margaret]

I too am looking to get my GTX 970 setup. Has anyone had any luck getting this working reliably? I'm on a 10.10.1 install.

Yes, I'm running a GTX970, and 10.10.1 web drivers, and it's very stable. I only use the DP, as the HDMI port works, but the display is not as good as the DP. I was able to get the HDMI to display 2560x1440, but again the DP is just better, so that's what I went with. Very pleased with what I've got. Very stable, even though the nVidia web drivers are pretty new, actually.

Hey guys, I just joined the forum. I've been interested in building a Hackintosh for a very long time. I've finally bought parts, most were recommended from tonymacx86, aside from the GPU...

Motherboard: GA-Z97X-UD5H
CPU: i5-4690k
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 970
Power Supply: RM 650
Tower: Corsair 500R

SSD: 840 EVO 250GB (Yosemite), 840 EVO 120GB (Windows 7)
RAM: Crucial Ballistix Tactical 16GB

Cooler Master Seidon 240mm
ASUS Blu-ray burner
IOGEAR GBU521 Bluetooth Adapter

I read the first few pages, and the last few in this thread...but I wanted to double check what method is best to get everything working correctly with the GTX 970. This is my first time building a PC, I'm a long time Mac user hoping for the best.

Check schmoppa's posts and mine on the GTX970.....

Anyone know what this latest driver fixes? I don't think I am getting the best performance out of my gtx970.

I'm getting constant crashes back to the login screen on both the f01 drivers and the new f03 driver. This happens right after I log back in after it was locked. Anyone else experiencing this issue or have any ideas? (I have a EVGA GTX 980)

I think changing the SMBIOS solved that for me... I'm not 100% certain since it's only been one week. I have the Gigabyte GTX 970, and I had these crashes with MacPro 3,1 and one of the iMacs 12 (Preview also crashed). Since I'm using MacPro 5,1 all seems good, but the crashes weren't systematic in the first place.

I am cloning my drive before I attempt this, right now. I will update tonight and report. I have no issues currently with my setup (gtx970).

EDIT: Applied update and restarted. No Issues.

I managed to install Yosemite 10.10.1! I only have one problem. I always have to boot two times. When I boot the system the first time I get a black screen. Then I press the reset button on my pc and booting up Yosi again works.
