mac OS Sierra NVIDIA/GPU Issue

[reddeercity]

Just what to pass on some info about some issue's with the native mac OS Nvidia GPU drivers .
I was having issue on my real apple MP5.1 updated to Sierra 10.12.5 with a Nvidia GTX570(pc card) , some apps like Quicktimes 10 and AJA Kona Lhi Capture card software where either crashing or will not startup . I guess because the new mac OS depends a lot on the GPU with "Metal" etc. ... One notable thing was i tried to do a screen capture with QT Player & a soon as i started to capture QT would crash    , so a quick search revealed a problem with the native GPU driver , fix is to install the nvidia web driver from www.nvidia.com 

This driver update is for Mac Pro 5,1 (2010), Mac Pro 4,1 (2009) and Mac Pro 3,1 (2008) users.
BETA support is for iMac 14,2 / 14,3 (2013), iMac 13,1 / 13,2 (2012) and MacBook Pro 11,3 (2013), MacBook Pro 10,1 (2012), and MacBook Pro 9,1 (2012) users.

this is the direct download link WebDriver-378.05.05.15f01.pkg from Sierra 10.12.5 only !! and works with all GTX mac or PC card from 285 up , i have a GTX570 and now all my apps work without crashing  plus I notice improved boot up time and a big performance improvement in FCPX , specially with skimming the time line . So if you have issues or bad performance with your Nvidia
GPU/Card try the web drivers , also if you don't like the drivers or have problems you can just switch back with the nvidia control panel
and reboot then your back to the native mac OS driver.




Hope this can help others
