macOS Sierra & NVIDIA GPU

Hello,


I have a MacBook Pro Retina 15'' (late 2013) with the NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M.


I just updated to the latest macOS Sierra 10.12.2. The NVIDIA CUDA driver in the System Preferences pane shows the following (as you can see the driver shows "No newer CUDA Driver available") but it shows in red as Update Required.


Every time my Mac restarts, this CUDA System preference pane shows up.


Any help would be appreciated.


Thanks


Nick

I was able to get rid of the annoying NVIDIA driver pop-up on my Mac Mini (2010) running OSX 10.12.6 by downgrading to the NVIDIA CUDA Driver Version: 7.5.30. It's available here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/macosx-cuda-7.5.30-driver.html


CUDA Preferences in System Preferences says no newer driver is available and also shows "GPU Driver Version: 10.2.37 310.90.10.05b54"

Just to add my $0.02, this IS indeed a PROBLEM. This isn't people with old hardware that haven't had unsupported graphics cards for years, and suddenly are running into problems. This is people who have kept their systems updated with every new (public) release, and NOW have run into a problem (as described above).


So thank you for taking the time to find somewhere that says our graphics cards are no longer supported, but that just isn't true. Sorry, and thank you for anyone who can figure out why this is happening (other than nVidia being lazy).

Besides this warning saying that it's out of date, are you guys experiencing any weird graphics issues? I posted about it here: 10.12.2 = Graphics Glitches on 2014 MacBook Pro?

I'm wondering if the best bet it to just downgrade to El Capitan somehow.

Also, I understand people wanting to help here. But, when your card works fine in 10.12.1 and then glitches out and says its driver is out of date in 10.12.2, then something isn't right...And it's not because our machines are too old.

Bobby. So far no glitches. What I did do was remove the NVIDIA CUDA preferences pane from System Preferences. Because it was too annoying to have it pop up every time my mac restarted.


What you can do as an informal test is download the CUDA-Z diagnostic app. And as you run GPU intensive apps, you can see the variation. And see if it's functioning properly (-ish).


I so far have had no luck
