Nvidia CUDA drivers says it needs an update but says no update available

Could be windowserver preference file that is corrupt? check com.apple.windowserver. in your user Library folder.

The Update Required had disappeared but today there was a new update so updated to Cuda 6.5.33 and the latest GPU driver 10.1.43 (343.02.01f01) and guess what? The bloody update required notice is back... blah

The "Update Required" can be eliminated under Cuda 6.5.33 / 10.1.43 (343.02.01f01) - running on a Mac3,1/GTX660Ti - by editing your info.plist file inside

Frameworks>CUDA.Frameworks>Versions>A>Resources>info.plist

by adding:

<key>343.02.01</key>

<string>343.02.01</string>

-> SAVE -> Reboot

double check if CUDA is running via TERMINAL:

kextstat | grep -i cuda

"Update Required" eliminated.

So I'm getting the same bizarre message after updating to CUDA Driver Version: 7.0.36. In system preferences it's telling me there is a new driver available yet the version it's referring to is 6.5.51!!! When I open Premiere Pro 2015 it tells me there is no CUDA present. What the heck is going on? Using an NVIDIA Quadro FX 4800 card on a 2010, MacPro, 10.10.4

When I install the CUDA 6.5.51 driver I get this,

It seems to me that Nvidia's installation procedure is messed up. I had CUDA version 7.0.36 installed and when I went to the CUDA Preferences, it told me there is a new driver version. I clicked on the Install CUDA Update button and it downloaded version 6.5.51!!! Then I went to their web page with all the CUDA drivers and found version 7.0.64 for Mac, which I downloaded and installed. Guess what? The CUDA Preferences window tells me that there is a CUDA Driver Update 6.5.51!!!! But it doesn't show the red letters saying "Update Required"

Interesting how it keeps suggesting 6.5.51 when the latest version is 7.0.64!!!

Oh yes, I am using a MacPro 1,1 with Yosemite and a 8800GT card.

Hello, I'm new to here and In a bit of a hurry, so i've quickly glanced over this thread whilst doing some research,

Ive a Mac 3,1 with GTX285 ,osx10.10.5 and after updating to Cuda driver 7, and rebooting it tells me there is an update available and it takes back to 6.5.51.

Well from my quick research I'm suggesting that the compute capability of my GTx285 is not supported in the newer versions so it returns to Cuda driver 6.5 as my last supported drivers, I've noticed some of you have GT8800 and Quadro 4000, (are they different to the newer K4000?) with this issue.. any way Hope I may have helped

and appologies if I've missed this info in previous posts, I'm on a deadline..

Hi,

interesting. Still the same bug for 8.0.46! 😮 Any news on this item?

Regards

Same problem here... Mac OS Sierra 10.12.1, and CUDA Driver Version: 8.0.46 says "Update Required"

Same problem here...

Mac Pro 2010 / 5.1, gti 980 ti, web driver 367.15.10.15f01, cuda 8.0.46.

Since upgrading from osx 10.12.0 to 10.12.1 the cuda control says "update required", but "no newer cuda driver available". On 10.12.0 there was no problem.

metal framework is broken too, "raining cubes" screensafer is not working. corrected: metal and raining cubes are working.

It is a general problem, either caused by apple or by nvidia.

But, world is somewhere between weird and funny, cuda-z is working.

If you go here https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads you can download 8.0.47. However according to someone else this did not stop that message, still worth a try though.

I get the impression they have not produced a fully compatible version for Sierra as of yet.

The same question here, I've just written to Nvidia :

Meanwhile, my cuda driver has updated to 8.0.51, and the ugly message is gone.

Simply try to open your cuda preference pane and look if you can install the new driver.

I'm on 8.0.53, and the ugly message is here on a MBP 5,1. Can't believe this has been going on since 2014.

Me, too, but I am on iMac, but did not see this issue until installing the latest macOS update today to 10.12.2.

Hi there!

Same problem after updating system yesterday, i have a mbp, 9.1 mid. 2012 nvidia 650M 512mb.

I've tried to download and install the last version but doesn't work... I hope soon this could be fixed...
