Hi everyone! Hope there are some smart people out there to help out to understand where are the problem. :)
To not make just noise, i searched for solution for almost two months rapidly and seems that i cannot find the right answer to this issue.

First i got GTX 680 and system starting to crash randomly, strange that crashing was not on heavy loads. Even benchmarks can run for hours. I thought i have bad GPU and changed it to GTX 980Ti, but problem still here. Changed RAM, PSU, Reinstalling system, taked out all SSD drives and doing all sorts of changes. But problem still appearing. I'm still hoping that maybe, maybe the other ram modules also was bad, but then again - i checked it with RAM tester software "Rambler" No errors at all. May be there are some issues with WEB drivers, and i think they may be, but i do not know.

Today i decide to make this post and ask you guys and girls, maybe i missing something.
Since i do not understand this error report stuff with ordinary human unreadable texts i post it below.

Since no one ansvering and likely don't have this issue i found solution for this crash. Maybe helps out for someone who are experiencing the same issues.

Solution was to remove all Nvidia drivers and reinstalling only WebDrivers without cuda. Everything works flawlesly now. Missing only cuda on After Effects now. But at least i got stable system now. Looks like Nvidia drivers have seriuous problems in code. Because when using pro apps before - Premiere and After Effects my GTX980Ti memory was growing by time i using these apps and not cleaned properly when i closed them. That caused strange gliches and finaly crashes. Now for one month testing everything works fine and memory on GTX are clened properly. After closing pro aps or rendering are finished the video card memory cleans automaticly and wuickly drops to it's usual state 1% to 10% And Media encoder works significant faster too.

Before that - media encoder bump the video ram up to 90% and not ramping down - depending on how mutch bach files i have. Now it ramps up video ram only on rendering process and cleans out each time by itself and then goes to next render and ramps memory again up as intended. When render finishes, it cleans up ram.

And this is on everything, Web browsing and other applications uses video ram normally and when closing any app the video ram also cleans out.

So the conclusion is that CUDA drivers have seruous problems. Is there a fix? :)

I just ordered a GTX 680 for my 2012 macpro running catalina. I have been tryung to find out what is involved with getting the 680 to work.

I know nothing about the drivers. Can you give me an inkling of the drivers I need to come up with and how I should install them? I read how you got this going, but I do n't really understand it. Any information you can provide will be immensely appreciated.

UPDATE:

Encouraging information at https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250537474?sortBy=best


If you get the genuine Mac version of the GTX 680, it works perfectly. There are lots of PC versions out there that have been flashed by the user, but don't always work as expected. Mainly, you don't get an image until your Mac gets to the desktop, and you can't do an Option key startup (because there's no image to see what you're doing).

I had one in the same model Mac. It worked as expected. You don't need to install any drivers. The OS supports the true Mac version directly.
