okey doke, just got done testing my 4th "defective return" in 3 weeks that is oddly 100% functional.
somewhere in this blog is 'back to basics, power & drivers' 4th card that had nothing wrong. 4th card i got a string of nasty emails about. 4th card i had to answer emails, ask questions, etc. 4th card someone had to drive to post office. 4th card i had to open and then incredulously test when it booted up fine and ran tests fine. 4th card I had to write an email stating "operator error". it's either that or I am staring at a black screen and hallucinating the whole thing. ALL POWER CABLE PINS ON CARD MUST BE CONNECTED !!!! I'm pretty sure this is the issue most of the time. it certainly is on the 770 2GB, as it doesn't need the drivers. ALL POWER CABLE PINS ON CARD MUST BE CONNECTED !!!! If the card has 14 pins, ALL 14 MUST BE CONNECTED !!!! And if it has 8...who wants to guess? OK, short guy in 2nd row. CORRECT !!!! 8 pins must be connected. I always get an email from someone hoping that the laws of physics don't apply to them and that the cables are OPTIONAL. They are not. Keep this in mind as you plug your card in. we extensively test each card after flashing. MOST bad cards are caught this way. the chances of your card failing in the 3-7 days it takes to get to you are slim, at best. read the blog. plug in ALL of the cables

Hi guys, maybe you'll also try to put the graphics card into another slot with the old MacPro 5.1. I have a Quadro K5000 for Mac and even this one has these problems with the web drivers (105 and 108). No hardware support on the desktop. The dock is white and everything stutters. I change the PCI slot to Bay 2 and everything works. There seems to be a problem with multiple GPUs in the webdrivers. This is not the fault of macvidcards, in my opinion. Because I don't have a flashed card I'm sitting in the same boat. Maybe Nvidia makes next time better drivers.

I found out that the drivers from Wacom are causing problems. On a fresh system all PCIe slots with hardware acceleration ran with Nvidia web drivers. After installing any drivers from 2018 for High Sierra, the first slot is at the bottom without acceleration in the system. If you install the latest version of the Wacom driver, the system won't find any Nvidia cards connected to the web drivers. Just presenting the CUDA window that shows "no gpu found". Isn't this already a conspiracy?

Just an FYI, the 108 driver, pulled by Nvidia, works with the High Sierra Security Update 002, build (17G3025).

Unfortunately I have no answers for you. I just purchased the Nvidia GTX 970 and find myself in the same boat as you. Wish I could help you but right now I have nothing. However in my case I could just stick my old video card back in because I didn't update to Mojave.

Installed Security patch for 10.13.6 and driver (17G3025) 387.10.10.10.40.108 but Nvidia driver will not load. Install > select nVidia > restart, driver selection has reverted to default OS. This is the first time I've encountered this issue.

Did you give it permission to load? Check your System Preference then Security & Privacy. If you don't allow it the drivers won't be allowed to load. You will see the "Allow apps downloaded from:" section of the Security & Privacy window.

The drivers install. They show up in the nVidia preference pane, but they won't load. When I select the nVidia driver by pane or menu item I'm prompted for a restart but it toggles back to the default OS driver. I tried the hacks in the reddit thread to no avail. The drivers show in the Preferences as current but they refused to load.

I've exhausted my options. I'll use my laptop for a few day and wait for a new driver. Then I guess it's back to the old ATI card.

Randy did you load the coda software also? Version 410.130. My understanding is you need both. I suggest you unload the software restart your computer. Then reload the NVIDIA Diver Manager (387.10.10.10.40.108) then the Cuda (410.130). BTW what system are you running, MacPro 5.1 and what video card? My experience is with the NVIDiA GTX 970 4GB video card.

It's Cuda not coda. And, no, you don't need Cuda for the Nvidia Web Driver to load. Something is corrupted on Randy's machine. My suggestion is to uninstall the Web Driver, completely uninstall There's an "Open Installer" box in the Web Driver preference pane. Then restart and zap the pram. Restart again and reinstall the web driver.

I finally got the drivers to load! The last things I did were: First Aided the drive, applied permissions to the Enclosing Folders of Library>Extensions. Then I uninstalled the nVidia driver, rebooted with opt+cmd+P+R. Then reinstalled the security patch from the DMG downloaded from Apple. Then I installed the .108 driver. Reboot loaded and activated the driver (second monitor immediately came back)!

In my experience, a Dell (Dell U2717D) monitor is good for little money. An LG 34 Wide is also very good, if you work on it you don't need a second monitor anymore. But it also costs as much as two Dell monitors.

As I posted, in response to your warning in the other thread. Security Update 003, Build (17G4015) does indeed still work with Web Driver 387.10.10.15.15.108, the pulled Web Driver. I have been using it and continue to use it with success.
