Servers EnterpriseFor what it's worth the GTX-980Ti is not an AMD card it is an Nvidia card. This could be good news, Nvidia unlike AMD actually bother to write their own drivers for their cards for the Mac.
The latest Nvidia drivers which are for Sierra and do support the GTX-980Ti are available here - Nvidia Graphics Driver 367.15.10.05f01 for macOS Sierra 10.12
Note: The separate Nvidia CUDA drivers have apparently not yet been updated for Sierra.

I just gave up on it and reverted to the AMD 7950 which is completely stable. I am just going to put the GTX980 TI card in my gaming PC. That is why I was hoping that a newer AMD card would fall out of Mac OS Sierra. I could have sworn that I read somewhere that there was such a card in the beta.
