Sorry first post on this thread, and my problem may have been answered but I don't have time to read through 249 pages!
I bought a EVGA GeForce GTX 970 REF edition, and I can't get my Mac Pro Cheesegrater 5.1 running OSX 10.12.1 to properly recognise the card. It comes up as NVIDIA Chip Model in System Report. See screen grab below.
I tried the 970 in slot 1 using the motherboard 6 pin PCI connectors, didn't work. I then bought a 650W Corsair power supply and I'm powering the card using that externally with the paperclip trick. Still doesn't work.
When I bought the machine it came with a 980ti in slot 1, that has always worked perfectly using the mother board connectors.
My nvidia drivers and coda drivers are up to date.
I was hoping to run both cards with Octane renderer. Is there anything I can do do get the 970 working?
You would be better posting on macvidvards or Mac rumors. This site is dedicated to hackintoshes and there are unique situations with real Macs that are better covered on this forums.
