So is confirmed this happens as well with Macs and GTX cards? Then is something definitely Nvidia should fix , as this driver is a mess.
Oh, yes - definitely. In fact, I've been active on a thread here which addresses the issue. I chimed in and noted that my own Mac Pro's GTX 1060 is suffering greatly with its current drivers. I actually contacted NVIDIA directly and described the issue. To my surprise, they collected my information and began lab tests on the same card [using a Mac Pro, I presume]. I do agree that it's an important issue and that they really should be fixing it as soon as possible. Unfortunately, I waited for about a month, following the contact I had with them. I e-mailed back, eager for an update, but they simply told me that they still hadn't been able to identify the bug. They were able to replicate it on their machines, but they were still searching for the bug. *shrugs*
I also began a thread over on MacRumors, detailing the issue and seeing if others had it as well. Indeed, plenty of Mac Pro-users do as well. In fact, I'm certain that there's no GTX 1060 out there immune to the Mac drivers and their derelict tendencies. I have also heard from several people - both from Mac Pro-users and Hackintoshers - that GTX 1050(Ti) and 1070s also have issues of their own, with the Mac drivers. The 1060 is definitely the most adversely-affected one, but the others still aren't taking too well to the drivers. Some 1050s apparently have similar issues to those of the 1060s; and, I've heard a report of one's 1070 exhibiting issues such as a black screen upon wake-up and random glitches throughout the OS. (This was within a Mac Pro.) As far as I know, the only GTX 10xx-series card which works more or less properly in a Mac Pro or Hackintosh is the GTX 1080(Ti).
