NVIDIA Releases Mountain Lion 10.8.3 Graphics Drivers

[ccm]

I try really hard to not just install something because "it's there" and the initial reports seem to be that there is some hope for solving some issues but am I reading it correctly that the risk of issues doesn't really make it worth it for a GTX 670? Thanks!

This driver fixes the freezings on my Fermi card! Just removed the original ones and the system will load the Nvidia versions. I don't have performance issues.
- GTX 560 ti

I also own a GTX560ti. I was using the VLC loop to mitigate the channel timeout freezes in 10.8.3. After some testing for a few days, this driver fixes it.

So glad to hear this- I have been testing both the 450 and the 550 Ti, and have had no issues when using these new drivers.

Hmm... Odd, still checked to the default OS X nvidia drivers, but now Cuda reports i'm running 313 drivers, before i had 303 drivers.... Soooo, i'm running the new drivers??

- - - Updated - - -

Still shows OS X drivers in Nvidia panel, but Cuda reports the new driver... what driver am i running??

You need to re-apply the OpenCL patch, such as ...

sudo perl -pi -e '$c+=s/\x8b\x81\x1c\x0c\x00\x00\xeb\x06\x8b\x81\x20\x0c\x00\x00/\xb8\x02\x00\x00\x00\x90\xeb\x06\xb8\x00\x00\x00\x00\x90/; END { printf "%s: %d substitution%s made.\n",($c==1 ? "Success" : "Error"),$c,(!$c || $c>1 ? "s" : ""); $?=($c!=1); }' /System/Library/Extensions/GeForceGLDriverWeb.bundle/Contents/MacOS/libclh.dylib

Note the full path of the target is different from previous postings of this patch.

Thanks, this patched the new CUDA drivers for me.

Weird stuff, in console:
22/05/2013 17:25:50.000 kernel[0]: NVDAStartup: Web

and in terminal using kextstat:
97 2 0xffffff7f80e0a000 0x284000 0x284000 com.apple.NVDAResmanWeb (8.1.4) <81 74 10 5 4 3 1>

Both show the web driver as being loaded, however the menu bar still shows the Official kext as being loaded. It is only cosmetic, but what are peoples solutions for this?

Since no other nvidia kexts are loaded, i guess it's working.

I have two questions I'm hoping someone can help me with before I take the plunge. I have a decently working EVGA GeForce 650 and I don't want to mess with it unless triple monitors is possible. So my questions are:

1) Has anyone confirmed this works with GeForce 650, it's not listed on the Nvidia site as being supported.

2) Can anyone confirm triple monitor support for these drivers?

I am using GTX 650 in a real Mac Pro, and I can confirm that these web drivers work.
I have not tried this in Hackintosh.

I can confirm that the nVidia web drivers are working great so far with my GTX 550 Ti on 10.8.3.
Sleep - turn screen off and back on, all working

EDIT: I still get the fermi freeze with the web drivers!
