nvidia-update - Simple way to install nVidia web drivers

Henties said:
Hi I ran this script after which I found that my webdriver ver 161 was downgraded to ver 106. Does that mean all drivers in between 106 and 161 are blacklisted ? and somehow not working properly and or affect system stability. Who decides what drivers get blacklisted ?? Feeling uneasy about this script without answer to these questions.
Thanks

Here is the blacklist https://github.com/Benjamin-Dobell/nvidia-update/blob/master/BLACKLIST
It was updated based on user's reports of the drivers causing lag and other problems.
You don't have to use the script to install 161, just download it from the link provided here https://www.tonymacx86.com/nvidia-drivers/

Thanks for your explanation and the link to the "blacklist" I run 2 High Sierra hacks as per my signature and never had any problems yhat I know off with any of the blacklisted Nvidia drivers. Is there a way to install a blacklisted driver with the script because yhat part would be quit intteresting foe me to use ?

It's in the readme:
Install a specific driver version
Code: 
bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Benjamin-Dobell/nvidia-update/master/nvidia-update.sh) <revision>
Where <revision> is a driver version e.g. 378.10.10.10.25.106

Thanks Benjamin, I am grateful. Now it seems I will just eventually have to bite the bullet and upgrade to El Capitan and beyond....whatever my system can handle. Because I was using Final Cut Pro 7 on this machine or going too...but now it seems it might be just better to move on up to RESOLVE 14 with the TITAN X getting more use from that software than it will ever get from FINAL CUT PRO 7.

Can you give me guidance Please I know this sounds lame, but I am getting older and for some reason keeping up with technology versions etc. is quite tedious and rather confusing. I end up frozen not knowing which way to go.

Best advice on this TITAN X gpu? getting it FLASHED? do you know anyone?
BEST ADVICE on finding the proper install or rather I would just update using my old mac vid card.

But that is why I am confused.

I remember when I got this the guy helped me or I found a list from Nvidia that was for this particular BUILD and MODEL of MAC HARDWARE. IT as nothing to do with the NVIDIA CARD. or so I thought.

There was a long list of WEB DRIVERS and I found the one that matched this current version that is working for about 2 years now.


To upgrade I need to be lead down the yellow brick road again......Please I am grateful! You are kind for a bumbling fool who thought he knew it all, then woke up and realized ....oh that was just YESTERDAY!

NEW DAY.....START OVER .......LEARNING AGAIN.
 
This worked great. Before I used that German tool and did essentially the same thing but any driver could be selected and patched. I have tried all of them for High Sierra. It's sad to say that version 106 is still the most stable, at least for my unit using GTX 1050. For shame Nvidia.
 
works like a charm! thanks.
 
I'm running 106 (patched) on 10.13.3 and I'm trying to figure out why I'm getting a black screen when booting with SIP enabled (0x0). I tried clearing kext cache and repairing permissions–no luck. I can boot fine with SIP partially disabled (0x3). All my non-native kexts are being injected via EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other.
 
I swear my video playback in chrome/safari got better after enabling "Above 4G Decoding" in the BIOS.
 
Thanks for this!

It seems to have decently to greatly improved performance on my High Sierra GTX 1080 build. Still not perfect, though I am starting to think some issues like window resizing lag on Chrome is simply High Sierra.
