[Solved] Trouble with 'Pascal' to work in El Capitan 10.11.6

[HanHuman]

Hi,

Had an Asus GTX 960 on that build with web driver before, worked like a charm.
Since, I just replaced it by the 1070 in my description and downloaded the right Pascal driver for my OSX version :
'WebDriver-346.03.15f06.pkg' , but I'm just getting a black screen.
That build is a dual boot mac/windows and the 1070 does work perfectly in Windows.

Not sure what should I do next to fix this, thanks for any help.
Have a good day everyone.

Long story short: There are no Pascal drivers for El Capitan. If you want to use Pascal (your 1070) on Mac, you'll have to be on Sierra.

AFAIK, anybody care to correct me?

Correct!

Is there any way to force an install of pascal drivers on el capitan?

Nope. Need to be running 10.12.4.

Did a clean Sierra install and the 1070 works like a charm with web drivers.
Thanks all.

Hi,

Just to be sure: if I have a CPU which is too old to run Sierra (Intel QX6800) and I have a 1050 Ti (Pascal), I can just go and hang myself up?

Not sure what you mean by that but Sierra demands a processor with SSE4.1 support and the QX6800 does not qualify.
Your 1050 Ti requires Sierra.

My drastic metaphor wanted to mean that if I have a QX6800 and a 1050 Ti, there is no solution for me, my system never going to work. Is that correct?
