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

[Ch_f]

I just got a Popup, notifying me of a Version 343.02.01f01 (I was running 343.01.02f03). This Driver is seemingly not yet available on the website. This caused a black screen on every boot. I had to revert back to the old version (use nv_disable=1) to get my system running again. I advise against upgrading, until more users confirm that this is just an issue with my system or my card specifically.

Install went fine for me but now I'm getting the CUDA needs update popup again on every boot...

Same here. I first updated the graphics driver to 343.02.01f01 when it prompted me to. Then I updated CUDA to version 6.5.32 that I downloaded from Nvidia's website; after rebooting it popped up telling me there was a newer version 6.5.33 available, so I let it install that, and now I'm still getting the CUDA "Update Required" popup every boot. This is maddening!

I had the exact same issue with my ASUS GTX 970. I'd recommend skipping this version!

Update worked for me. CUDA pops up everytime.

Interesting...I have the same GPU and "almost" same MB and CPU and install was fine...

Huh, that's odd. From reading through this thread I've noticed that for whatever reason my particular ASUS 970 seems to be more finicky than other ASUS 970s. I had so many issues previously that I did a complete wipe and reinstall a couple week ago and ran with the integrated CPU graphics for a week to confirm stability before dropping in the 970. Things had been reasonably good with the 970 and 10.10.1 but I was still having a few graphics crashes here and there so I'd hoped the newest driver version would make things better for me rather than worse.

My concerns were that I had a bad card but I dual boot and haven't had any issues with this card in Windows so I don't think it's a hardware problem.

If I'm doing something wrong I'll take any hints!

Has anyone been stuck on the OSX Default Driver in the Nvidia Prefpane?
I can click on the Nvidia Web Driver checkbox, but it reverts to OSX Default after I reboot.

I'm booting using Clover and flags: nvda_drv=1 npci=0x2000 kext-dev-mode=1

Yes, I'm stuck on the OSX Default driver Tim, using the same flags as yourself , although different Graphics Card.
