Nvidia Drivers

Hi
I have a 4.1->5.1 Mac Pro and the problem is that when I install the drivers from nvidia and the Mac restarts it sep up the default OSx drivers every time.
Please help

G'day and welcome to the forums.

Of course. If this is a genuine Mac Pro graphics card, the driver are installed in the operating system. If you have hacked the machine to change the firmware to 5.1 and upgraded the card to a generic PC card this is what may happen. This, and solutions, are discussed much more in MacRumours rather than here. https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...-and-how-to-safely-do-os-updates.1981453/Here is one:-

Nvidia web drivers

Hi
I have a Mac Pro 4.1 and I was thinking to upgrade to a 5.1 firmware, make that any problem with the nvidia web driver ? Or does it work fine ?

Threads have been combined. Please do not start a new thread.

Still do not know what graphics card you are referring to. The stock standard card in that model is the nVidia GT120 which should not need drivers.

Have a read of this:-

I want to use a 1050ti, but each time i restart the mac it runs the OS X default drivers.

The problem there are no Mac drivers for the card. Have a read through all of this from Apple Discussions.

I have successfully try the graphic in a Mac Pro 3.1 with 12.10.5

Take it you do mean OS X.12.5? If successful why the thread?

Check out this link. http://www.macvidcards.com/drivers.html

This is where I get my nVidia drivers for my GTX 1080 card. I have a Mac Pro 4,1 firmware flashed to make it a 5,1. Up until recently I used a PC GTX 780 card which would run on the standard Apple drivers. When I purchased the GTX 1080 I got it from the same place the link will take you to. The card has been flashed to allow for EFI boot and will show the apple boot screen.

Also you may want to install CUDA drivers and that is also explained in the link.
