The 346.03.02f01 release of the Quadro & GeForce OS X driver is compatible with the Mac Pro 5,1 (2010), Mac Pro 4,1 (2009) and Mac Pro 3,1 (2008) Mac models, and with the following graphics cards: GeForce GTX 680, GeForce GTX 285, GeForce GT 120, GeForce 8800 GT, Quadro K5000 for Mac, Quadro 4000 for Mac, Quadro FX 4800, and Quadro FX 5600.

As described on the release notes page, the Quadro & GeForce Mac OS X Driver 346.03.02f01 version also includes beta support for iMac and MacBook Pro systems with NVIDIA graphics, which should allow owners to be able to switch from Apple's default OS X graphics driver to the one provided by NVIDIA.

The new NVIDIA Quadro & GeForce beta driver iMac and MacBook Pro support can be used for the following devices: iMac 14,2 / 14,3 (2013), iMac 13,1 / 13,2 (2012) and MacBook Pro 11,3 (2013), MacBook Pro 10,1 (2012), and MacBook Pro 9,1 (2012) users.

The Quadro & GeForce Driver installer adds a new prefpane that can automatically check for updates

Besides the drivers needed for your graphics card to work properly on a Mac running El Capitan, the Quadro & GeForce Mac OS X Driver installer will also add an NVIDIA Driver Manager preference pane that will help you quickly switch between the default OS X graphics driver and NVIDIA's custom build graphics driver.

Moreover, this can also be achieved from your Mac's menu bar once you activate the NVIDIA Driver Manager status bar item from the preference pane.

The NVIDIA Driver Manager prefpane is also designed to make it easy to enable the Error Correcting Codes (ECC) feature for any supported graphics card, and it can also help to quickly check for NVIDIA software updates.

Additionally, the NVIDIA Driver Manager can also check for driver updates automatically, and it can be set up to download them in the background for simple and quick installation.

Your Mac's default OS X drivers can be restored by clearing the NVRAM

As described within NVIDIA's Quadro & GeForce driver installer, 'if, for any reason, you are unable to boot your system to the desktop and wish to restore your original drivers, you can do so by clearing your Mac’s NVRAM.'

To do that you need to power on the Mac, immediately hold down the Command (⌘), Option (⌥), P, and R keys, and keep them pressed until you hear a second startup chime. Once you go through this simple procedure, your Mac will boot using the default OS X graphics driver.

MacBook Pro :: Is It Advisable To Install These Nvidia Drivers On New 2010 MBPs?

I have a 2010 i7 MacBook Pro. I came across GeForce Mac OS X Driver Release 19.5.8 and CUDA 3.0 from the website: http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html(under Mac OS X 10.6.4 Update->What we know about 10.6.4 so far..)Is it advisable to install these drivers on the new 2010 MBP?

If we download and install drivers from parts manufactures such as Nvidia, we risk possible untested, compatibility problems.

Windows On Mac :: Unable To Install NVidia Drivers / Drivers Not Compatible With Hardware

So i am trying to change my apple boot camp drivers to nvidia's, but i think i must have downloaded the wrong ones, or done something wrong. I tried to install Geforce/Ion driver release 192.62, (from nvidia's site, i selected gefore 8 series) and when i ran the setup it said: 'nvidia setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your hardware' . My questions are:
� Which drivers should i download? a link would be great.
� Are there any pre-requisites i must do, such as install version 170 first?
I am using an iMac 24' with 4gb ram, 500gb 5400 rpm HDD, and 8800 GS 512mb.
The reason I am trying this, is because when i play some online games, i often get bad lag spikes, but that chat is still running. Someone recommended me to 'update my drivers'.

Mac Pro :: Quadro FX 4500 X2 Is Not Working?

I just got a PNY Quadro FX 4500 x2. I know some people has talked about Quadro FX 4500 before but after I got this card, I know it is different from single Quadro FX 4500 because it is two FX 4500 strap together, please refer to the product link here (URL)
I am currently using PC running Mac OSX 10.5.6 (iDeneb) and I think I probably need to flash this card before put into my computer. When I tried to use nvflash (the latest version) to flash the rom, I can back up two roms and it ask me two times when I used 'nvflash -b' to back up each rom (rom 0 and 1). However, I can not put the fix rom back to my card. When I use 'nvflash -4 -5 -6 -j' command. I know this must has something to do since my card has two roms.....but it is really beyond my knowledge and I don't know how to do it, when I tried to put the fix rom back to my card, it showed the error message below:
Checking for matches between display adapter(s) and image(s)...
Adapter: Quadro FX 4500x2 (10DE, 029F, 10DE, 0357) H:09:SP0 B:0A, PCI, D:00, F:00
Overriding PCI subsystem ID mismatch
Adapter: Quadro FX 4500x2 (10DE, 029F, 10DE, 0357) H:09:SP1 B:0B, PCI, D:00, F:00
Overriding PCI subsystem ID mismatch
No matches found
I think besides the flash rom problem, I also believe that I probably need someone help me to fix my original rom because the fixed rom I downloaded is not for FX 4500 x2, I couldn't find any fixed rom for FX 4500 x2, only FX 4500. Get mac os for free. Here I attach the original rom I back up from my card and hope some people can help me to look at it. Somehow I also think I might need to change my GFX string or something like that.
Again, this is just the problems I have found from now. After two weeks trying to search everything in the web I am very frustrating because it is hard to find people who use the same card like me. I am just a visual effects animator and I think some parts of flashing this card has gone beyond my knowledge. I know many people and genius here will know what's going on immediately and be able to help me out.
Here is my computer hardware configuration:
Motherboard: TYAN Tempest i5000XT (S2696)
CPU: Intel Xeon e5345 quadcore x 2
RAM: 6G ECC RAM
Sound Card: Sound Blaster Audigy 2 zs
Graphic Card: PNY nVidia FX 4500 x 2 1G

Mac Pro :: Radeon 5870 Versus Quadro 4000

As I am waiting for Bare feats to have fun with the Quadro, some preliminary thoughts might be fun to think about.
- The Quadro 4000 is supported on the Mac Pro '08, the Radeon 5870 is not.
- X-Plane 9: the Radeon 5870 is not faster than the 4870 in the '08 Mac Pro. Maybe the Quadro 4000 will be faster?
- 2 GB VRAM on the Quadro.. any chance gaming will benefit?
- Usually the 'Pro-3D' card loses to good consumer 3D cards in gaming. Will this be true this time too?

Mac Pro :: Trying To Install NVIDIA Driver But Systems Says'No Driver Update Needed For This System'?

We are trying to install/update to the NVIDIA 270.00.00f06 driver for the PNY Quadro FX4800 for Mac on our MacPro 3,1 with OSX 10.7.4. The system tells us 'No Driver Update Needed for this System', and will not allow driver to be installed. Can anyone advise if the current driver is automatically installed or provided by Apple Updates. If not can you provide proper instructions on how to properly update the driver. Also how can we confirm what driver version is currently installed.

MacBook Pro :: NVIDIA GeForce 9400M Graphics Versus NVIDIA GeForce 9400M?

I am going to college this year to study Graphic Design and i am looking to purchase a MBP 15'. I have read a couple of other threads which cover similar questions however i am not truly satisfied with the answers i have read.
My MBP will have to run the following programs on a regular basis: Photoshop, Bridge, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Flash. It will also have to run basic tasks such as word processing, internet surfing and email. Finally i would also like to install parallels and XP on the machine just in case an work or applications need to be run on windows. Obviously all of these applications will not be running simultaneously however there is a strong chance 2 or 3 maybe running at the same time. My Imac deals with this without problems, will the MBP be the same?

Mac Pro :: With The Nvidia Mobile GPU Being Defective ?

Quadro Fx 570 Driver

As u can see I have a 17' mbp and had it for a few months but after the nvidia announcement, Im seriously thinking about selling the mbp and using the which will cover for a 2.8ghz 8 core mp.
One of my fears is that the gpu will die over the years on the mbp and when apple care runs out or even if the mbp is covered by ac knowing that one day I would need to get it serviced.
I know I had the mp before and know what to expect and while the 17' mbp is a desktop replacement it is portable. Damn nvidia!
Sorry this is more of a venting thread than anything else.
Also curious anyone else on the same boat as I am with selling their mbp fora mac pro?

If you want to combine a pair of GeForce graphics cards with a new Core i7 processor from Intel later this year, you're in luck.
