To download and install the drivers, follow the steps below: STEP 1: Make sure your Mac OS X software version is v10.12.3 (16D32). It is important that you check this first before you install the 367.15.10.35f01 Driver. Click on the Apple icon (upper left corner of the screen) and select About This Mac. Click the More Info button to see the exact build version number (16D32) in the Software field. STEP 2: If your OS X software version has not been updated, in the About This Mac window, click on the Software Update button STEP 3: Continue to install software updates until your system OS is reported to be v10.12.3 (16D32) STEP 4: Review the NVIDIA Software License. Check terms and conditions checkbox to allow driver download. You will need to accept this license prior to downloading any files. STEP 5: Download the Driver File Download - WebDriver-367.15.10.35f01.pkg STEP 6: Install After downloading the driver package, it should automatically launch the installer. If it does not, double-click on the driver package from your download target location. It will guide you through the installation process. Click Continue after you read the License Agreement and then click Agree STEP 7: Click Install on the Standard Installer screen. You will be required to enter an Administrator password to continue STEP 8: Click Continue Installation on the Warning screen: The Warning screen lets you know that you will need to restart your system once the installation process is complete. STEP 9: Click Restart on the Installation Completed Successfully screen. This driver includes the new NVIDIA Driver Manager preference pane, as well as an optional menu bar item for quick access to the preference pane and basic functions. The preference pane can be accessed normally through the System Preferences. It requires the user to click on the padlock icon and enter an Administrator password to make changes, and contains the following functionality: GRAPHICS DRIVER TAB: Within this tab, the user can switch between the NVIDIA Web Driver and the default NVIDIA graphics driver that is included with OS X v10.12.3 (16D32). If the user switches between drivers, they must click the Restart button for changes to take effect. ECC TAB: Within this tab, the user can enable or disable ECC functionality on supported graphics cards. The user will see a list of their system’s PCI-E slots and any devices installed in them. If a device supports ECC, the user will be able to check the Enable Error Correcting Codes box next to the list. If the device does not support ECC then the box will be grayed out. Once the user makes changes to ECC, they will be required to restart the system. NOTE: Currently, the only NVIDIA graphics card that supports ECC functionality is the NVIDIA Quadro K5000 for Mac. Enabling ECC requires a portion of the graphics card’s usable memory size and bandwidth. In the Graphics/Displays section of your System Information, you may notice the “VRAM (Total)” amount of your NVIDIA Quadro K5000 drops from 4096 MB to 3584 MB when ECC is enabled. This is normal. UPDATES TAB: This tab shows the version number of the NVIDIA Web Driver that is currently installed on the system and also allows the user to check for updates online. By clicking the Check Now button, the NVIDIA Driver Manager will ping NVIDIA’s master server to see if there is a newer version of the NVIDIA Web Driver available. There are also checkboxes for the user to allow the NVIDIA Driver Manager to check automatically for updates and to download them when available. If a new NVIDIA Web Driver is downloaded automatically, the user will be notified when it’s ready to be installed. Automatic checking is on by default. MENU BAR ITEM AND UNINSTALLER: The NVIDIA Driver Manager also includes a checkbox to toggle a menu bar item on and off, and a button to open an Uninstaller app. The menu bar item includes the functionality of the Graphics Driver tab and a shortcut to launch the NVIDIA Driver Manager. To uninstall the NVIDIA Web Driver and the NVIDIA Driver Manager, follow the steps below: STEP 1: Open the NVIDIA Driver Manager from the System Preferences or through the menu bar item. STEP 2: Click on the padlock icon and enter an Administrator password. STEP 3: Click the Open Uninstaller button. STEP 4: Click Uninstall and then Continue Uninstallation on the Warning screen: The Warning screen lets you know that you will need to restart your system once the installation process is complete. STEP 5: Re-enter an Administrator password and click OK. Once the NVIDIA Web Driver and NVIDIA Driver Manager have been removed from the system, click Restart. NOTE: If for any reason you are unable to boot your system to the Desktop and wish to restore your original OS X v10.12.3 (16D32) driver, you can do so by clearing your Mac’s NVRAM: STEP 1: Restart your Macintosh computer and simultaneously hold down the “Command” (apple) key, the “Option” key, the “P” key and the “R” key before the gray screen appears. STEP 2: Keep the keys held down until you hear the startup chime for the second time. Release the keys and allow the system to boot to the desktop. STEP 3: The original OS X v10.12.3 (16D32) driver will be restored upon booting, although the NVIDIA Web Driver and NVIDIA Driver Manager will not be uninstalled from the system.

For the most part, asking why Apple won’t support things is a futile endeavor. Much ink has been spilled criticizing the company’s various design decisions and raising questions about its product families, particularly in recent years, as prices have risen and product decisions have seemed to prioritize form over function.
But even with all of that said, the company’s attitudes towards Nvidia’s GPUs could really use some explaining. For years, Nvidia cards have worked in Mac systems on an unofficial level, which meant you could get things to operate if you were willing to roll up your sleeves a little bit. This continued to be the case through macOS 10.13, which supported Nvidia’s Pascal family. While this support has been unofficial, it made sense for Apple to at least keep its hand in the proverbial game. eGPU support has been a major value-add for both Macs and PCs over the last few years, and the concept of using an external GPU opens the door to the vendor Apple isn’t integrating into its own hardware, whomever that might be. In addition, there are professional areas and applications where Nvidia’s GPUs and CUDA support are preferred over AMD. But with macOS 10.14 (Mojave), that support is gone — and according to AppleInsider, they can’t even figure out why.
According to Nvidia, the problem lies entirely with Apple. A statement released by the company last year reads:
Nvidia Drivers For Mac Os X
Developers using Macs with NVIDIA graphics cards are reporting that after upgrading from 10.13 to 10.14 (Mojave) they are experiencing rendering regressions and slow performance.
Apple fully controls drivers for Mac OS. Unfortunately, NVIDIA currently cannot release a driver unless it is approved by Apple.
Our hardware works on OS 10.13 which supports up to (and including) Pascal.
AppleInsider notes that even the supported graphics cards — limited to the GTX 680 and Quadro K5000, both Kepler-era GPUs — took a performance hit under Mojave. But the website’s attempts to find an answer as to why Nvidia GPUs were now persona non grata on Mac hardware in any capacity kept running into roadblocks. According to them, engineers at Apple are agreeable to the idea and there’s certainly no reason Apple’s Metal 2 UI can’t run on Nvidia hardware, but there was a consistent feeling that “support for Nvidia’s higher-end cards would be welcome, but disallowed quietly at higher levels of the company.”
Apple users need not apply.
AppleInsider concluded that the issue is long-standing “quiet hostility” between Nvidia and Apple at a fairly high level. This, of course, is perfectly possible. It’s also technically possible that it’s some facet of the deal between Apple and AMD, though it’s unclear why Apple would ever agree to such a limit in the first place and seems generally unlikely. But regardless of the underlying reason, it’s a situation we’d like to see the companies’ resolve.
Gamers and professional users are best-served when they have the freedom to deploy the software and hardware solutions they want to use in as flexible a manner as possible. There do not appear to be technical reasons why Nvidia’s GPUs cannot be supported on macOS 10.14 (Mojave). If Apple wants to rely solely on AMD as a formal partner for its integrated GPUs, that’s entirely its own business. But the major benefit of the eGPU ecosystem is precisely that users have far more freedom to upgrade their graphics card, even if they’re limited to a mobile system.
Disallowing product support for the largest graphics card vendor and the major GPU player in the AI and ML markets is anti-competitive and consumer-hostile. It also strikes directly against Apple’s claim to care about professional users and professional markets. Nvidia and Apple should work together to support at least Nvidia GPUs in eGPU configurations, up to and including the RTX family. A petition to that effect has been started already.
