Where do you find the latest Nvidia Web Drivers

[editguy17]

Hi there, I've got a GTX 980 on my early 2009 Mac Pro, and whenever I update to the latest build of OS X, my card doesn't function properly until I get the latest driver build. I've found that the Nvidia site doesn't always have the freshest build, and I have found links on InsanelyMac to the latest driver. But where do you find them? I Mac automatically updated to the latest build, and my card is acting wonky. Usually there's a solution within a few hours of the latest OS. I haven't found one yet for today's update.

 

Thanks in advance.

I'm using the driver WebDriver-346.01.02f02.pkg with the last beta update 10.10.4 - 14E11f, this version check the supported OS and OS Build version.

var supportedOSVer = "10.10.3";
var supportedOSBuildVer = "14D136";

So after try everything the only solution that works for me was change the MacOS version to the version that the driver check.

 

If you want to try do this in terminal (make a backup of this file before, just in case):

sudo nano -w /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist

change this key

<key>ProductBuildVersion</key>
<string>14E11f</string>

to

<key>ProductBuildVersion</key>
<string>14D136</string>

and this key

<key>ProductVersion</key>
<string>10.10.4</string>

to

<key>ProductVersion</key>
<string>10.10.3</string>

Then reboot

sudo reboot

Still say that I'm using the OS X Default Graphics but at least I have the right resolution and some acceleration, until Nvidia upgrade the driver again.

Thanks, that worked. But I'd still like to know where folks find the Nvidia updates, when i can't find them on the Nvidia sites.

I already know about Nvidia's site. Sometimes people have links to updates that are newer than what's on their driver page.
