New Nvidia GTX 970 and 980 - cMP?

[macgoblin7950]

so i just upgraded to 10.10.1 and the nvidia web driver aren't compatible.... anybody else have this problem?

Does the video card still work though with 10.10.1 regardless of the web driver?

Here's a rough list of when new cards started working.

* GK110B (GTX 780, GTX 780 Ti etc) needs 10.9.2 and 331.01.01f01
* GM107 (GTX 750) and GM204 (GTX 970, GTX 980 etc) need 10.10 and 343.01.XX.XX

So no, the Maxwell cards need the web driver to function. NVIDIA should have a driver out within the next 24 hours.

The only issue is that the web drivers installer is OS X version locked.
The actual drivers work fine on 10.10.1 (look at screenshot)

So basically if you have the drivers already installed then you can freely update.
Alternatively you can bypass the native installer by using Pacifist to get the 10.10.1 beta web drivers running.

Hello!
Short report:

Mac pro 5.1
VGA: GTX 970
OSX: Yosemite 10.10.1
nv web driver: WebDriver-343.01.02f01.pkg
CUDA driver: cudadriver-6.5.25-macos.dmg
and…

CUDA works in Adobe Premiere CC2014!

So do all of the 970/980s work under Yosemite? There's multiple models of EVGA, MSI and Gigabyte.

I have this one:

Difference in fps between pci 1.0 and 2.0 won't be much I would have thought, best to use a 16 lane obviously.

Cuda is working, fantastic! I will try 10.10.1 with my EVGA GTX 980 soon and report back. Very good news, thanks!

It's interesting that my several years old GTX570 is faster at Double Precision Float. I wonder how important that is in real applications that use CUDA like Premiere Pro?

Pretty sure Double Precision Float (64 Bit) abilities come into play with
mathematical simulations.

Finally got mine working in my 2010 Mac Pro, well, all I needed was a DVI to HDMI and hey presto it was recognised.

YAY.

Do the DP ports work?

CUDA is still not working for me on 10.10.1 with the latest Driver and Cuda version.

Hmmmm....I have the EVGA GTX 980 SC 4GB card.

you need CUDA-Z 9.203

 

[m4v3r1ck]

you need CUDA-Z 9.203

Why not CUDA-Z 9.230?

220, 221 , whatever it takes

LOL!

I'm very much anticipating your EFI flashed GTX-980 4GB!

Cheers

Does anyone know how i get rid of the cuda update driver warning?

Get the latest compatible drivers and cuda! What are yours?

 

[ToroidalZeus]

Get the latest compatible drivers and cuda! What are yours?

6.5.25

and

10.1.43 (343.01.02f01)

 

[MassMacMan]

Nope. I have the latest CUDA and web drivers, and I get that same message every time I boot up. CUDA is working nicely, though...

You're doing it wrong.

Hi. Does anybody work with CUDA and DaVinci Resolve 11 ? I'd be interested to know if it works fine with the GTW 980. Thanks

Here's my answer :

it works fine with the last drivers from Nvidia since the 18th of november 2014
