Sierra 16B2657 Conundrum

11/2/2016

So we are getting more than a couple emails regarding the mismatch between 10.12.1 update from Apple showing build "16B2657" and Nvidia providing a driver that matches to "16B2555".

I can confirm that the mod listed below will work. Just change the "OS required" string to match to "16" and it works fine. (You will need to disable CSR)

I also have no idea how to this.

"Just change the "OS required" string to match to "16" and it works fine. (You will need to disable CSR)"

with the newest build I could install the webdriver, but it is not possible to switch to nvidia driver. It always goes back to OSX.

Any idea how to fix this problem?

MacPro 5.1 GTX 780, Mac OS X Sierra newest Version.

I found info from someone on reddit that there may be a bug in that nvidia preference pane (not switching to nvidia driver from OS X default graphics driver). If you download/install OpenGL Extensions Viewer from the App store, it does show what driver is really loading. For me, under the summary, it showed that the nvidia driver was actually loading (and the 346.xxx driver version).

Hope this helps!

I think he's talking about turning off SIP. If so, read http://www.macworld.com/article/2986118/security/how-to-modify-system-integrity-protection-in-el-capitan.html for instructions.

I have the proper builds installed, but my problem is that my 5,1 won't properly sleep, and once it tries to sleep it won't awaken. I have to restart.

Any suggestions on that?

Problem solved. Twas not the NVIDIA driver at all, but my backup drive and Time Machine. Sorry for the false alarm.
