Yeah I just use a stock gt120 for my updates. I was already in high sierra when the update came so was using the stock Mac OS drivers, also for me I had to physically push the "check now" box in the driver manager. Then it just started updating the web driver.
Got a tip for us?

Anyone having Pascal driver glitches? GTX 1060 glitchy after wake-up!

Yeah, I noticed that I got no notification, but then I forgot that I obviously would need to be in HS to receive one. xD (I've had a long day.)
I just have my 1060 here with me, so I can't do anything until I can get a hold of my GT 120 again.
You don’t need an EFI card for that, just setup remote control and you are good to go.
For a firmware update? If I can VNC and complete the entire process, that would be nice.
My bad, I suddenly had a brain failure and misinterpret that "OS update" means the "small" OS update (e.g. 10.12.5 to 10.12.6). And didn't realise you mean an OS upgrade.
I should read your whole post carefully before make any reply, sorry about that.
You are correct. AFAIK, EFI card should be required for firmware upgrade. From memory, there is only one post said he can do it with unflashed card but no evidence.
Sorry but had to ask as I am thinking about getting a GTX 1060, have the newer Nvidia driver updates helped with these glitches or are people still having problems with this card?
What OS?
I've got latest Sierra and latest wbdrivers with Asus GTX 1060. It sometimes gives graphic glitches, once it was nonrecoverable, most of the time it's just a minute of kernel task jamming, and suddenly it goes away, and everything works, usually really good for a long time. I've got a Dell 4K with that. I don't know if the monitor could be blamed for this behavior.
Otherwise it's a good card. Not quite on par with windows performance (I already tried the HP Z400 + GTX 1060 combo, better scores there). I really can't tell the said difference with my normal usage. Only with benchmark. I don't play games though, I use a few different kind of 3D softwares, and do renders in 3D.

Thanks for the reply,
I'm still running El Capitan so would need to update to Sierra if I went ahead and bought one. It sounds like they are still a bit glitchy, do you have any issues when coming out of sleep?

Well the 1-2 minutes jamming usually occurs just after sleep, but not every time. With my other machine, a Mac Pro 4.1->5.1 too, I got serious sleeping problems with an Asus Radeon RX 570 and Dell P2715Q. Monitor did not want to wake up at allafter sleep. Otherwise the Mac did function allright, and all the other monitors worked like charm. But the Dell 4K and RX570 did not want to handshake. Some maneuvers and a little bit of cable jugglery usually got them working together. Very quickly it was a clear thing, I did not want to use that combo.
GTX 1060 is better with my P2715Q. BUT, it just might be this exact combo. I really can't make any assumptions about other combos.
Yeah, the web drivers only get updated for the most recent OS, so it's generally always best to stick with the latest version. I haven't had any problems since I updated to High Sierra, the drivers seem much more stable now.
I use my 1080Ti for just more than a month now (with High Sierra). I've yet to see any glitches, even I try to reproduce some "known glitches" (may exist in the previous version or OS / web driver), I still fail to hit a bug. Up to this moment, the experience is flawless.
