devild Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Drivers with Pascal support will be probably released after Quadro Pascal and/or CUDA 8 release, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pointum Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I think I have the same setup and I finally got it working on Windows. I was using an existing Windows installation and nothing would work. The most progress I had was 3 display adapters listed and the dreaded Error 12. I made a fresh vanilla Windows 10 install on external MBR drive without BootCamp drivers. Got 2 display adapters listed in Device Manager, then installed 372.70 drivers. And it worked! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Did it finally work @Mike Thorn? I am thinking of buying a 1080 with the Thunder 2 as well but i want it only for Mac for video editing.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Thorn Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share Posted January 8, 2017 Damien - as far as I'm aware, we still don't have Pascal drivers on macOS yet. So, the 1080 won't work (at least not without some much more fiddle hacking, I imagine). Right now for Mac use you'd be better off picking up a GTX 980 or Titan, as those have full Mac support. Or, if you're in Premiere, get the best Radeon you can get - while OpenCL is not as hot as CUDA for hardware acceleration in the Adobe suite, it has native macOS support and might save you some grief. On on another note, I ended up building a full Windows tower specifically for editing, so my Akitio sits idle. I'll make you a good deal...

Damien Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 (edited) @Mike Thorn Oh man that's really disappointing, i thought i was finally getting it and no drivers huh.. Kinda stupid question maybe but the cud drivers from nvidia wouldn't help? For the Akitio, where are you located?

Mike Thorn Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share Posted January 8, 2017 I'm not a drivers expert, but I would imagine that it might be possible to get the card running in a very basic form with the Maxwell-series drivers, but you definitely would not be able to take advantage of the Pascal-series features and benefits. That's over my head though. I had had hoped that 10.12 Sierra would have some support, but it seems that Nvidia has not put a great amount of effort into it. I'll PM you on the akitio.

Damien Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 But when i go to Nvidia's website and check for drivers i don't get anything for mac. its only windows and linux.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Thorn Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share Posted January 8, 2017 It'll be the web drivers. Once you install the GeForce experience or whatever it's called on macOS (not at my laptop at the moment), you will be able to install the latest web driver, which does have whatever mac support Nvidia currently has (currently only fully complete for the Kepler architecture). I believe the latest version is 367.15.10.25f02. It won't let me send you a PM, any idea why? Puzzled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Ok now I'm totally confused AGAIN, i just chatted with Nvidia support and they told me that the only card that gtx 680 is the latest card for Mac but then i saw all these people with 900 cards working on mac.. WTF??? Yeah maybe because I'm new here? I had full inbox with 2 messages, i deleted them so you can try again.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Thorn Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share Posted January 8, 2017 That's probably correct- the 680 is probably the last card that had *full* architectural support. Even the 9xx cards require some hacks to get running properly, but it's a mor ewell-documented process since it's been a couple years.
