Hi guys,

Cached

The macOS High Sierra 10.13 upgraded make me sick because of its incompatible with the GPU CUDA driver. I came here after weeks searching for a solution that fixes the annoying “Update Required” message showing everytime my Mac startups, also making all of my CUDA-required software I using like Adobe Premiere/After Effect runs and renders very slow. Finally, I must come here and register an account for only this, and glad I found it, the solution that saves my life XD

Ok so I won’t take your time anymore on how happy I did, let’s go straight to the point how I really made it:
The only information you need to know is: Right now the macOS’ native graphics driver that help the system communicate with the nVIDIA GPU, is still not updated to the really compatible version. So what we have to do here is to install the “web version” of the driver, which is an OFFICIAL version from nVIDIA, it’s just not a “native version” from Apple.

In quick view, what I have done to solve the problem:
1. Uninstall the incompatible “native version” CUDA from my Mac.
2. Download and install the latest “web version” of NVIDIA DRIVER and CUDA from nVIDIA’s website.

Let’s go in a more detailed how to fix this tutorial:
STEP 1. UNINSTALL THE MACOS CUDA DRIVER
Navigate and delete all CUDA existing native drivers and related components installed on your Mac (by right-clicking at Finder on the dock and selecting “Go to folder…”: Breezes of confirmation pdf files.

Nvidia Web Driver Mac Os High Sierra Key

Nvidia Web Driver version 387.10.10.10.40.128 For macOS High Sierra build number 17G7024. This installer is the official release for macOS High Sierra 10.13.6. Nvidia Web Driver version 387.10.10.10.40.127 For macOS High Sierra build number 17G6030. This installer is the official release for macOS High Sierra 10.13.6. Nvidia Mac driver is an additional macOS driver provided by Nvidia itself instead of Apple. Apple packs macOS with its own GPU Kexts, but when Nvidia web driver is installed, Apple’s native GPU Kexts becomes inactive. Nvidia web-driver is required to make Maxwell, and latest Graphics cards work in macOS. Nvidia driver update will install the Cuda driver to the latest version 418.163 (this is the latest version available at the time of posting). I noticed today another update 2020-01 (17G11023) is now available but no web driver or Cuda has been posted for this update, so hold off on updating. Nvidia GPUs receive driver updates soon after each version update of OS X. Only one driver is released by Nvidia and it includes support for all of their modern GPUs. You will not find individually named Nvidia drivers for OS X, they are all titled 'Quadro & Geforce Mac OS X Driver Release xxx.xx.xxxxx'.

/System/Library/Extensions/CUDA.kext
/Library/Frameworks/CUDA.framework
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.nvidia.CUDASoftwareUpdate.plist
/Library/PreferencePanes/CUDA/Preferences.prefPane
/System/Library/StartupItems/CUDA/
/Developer/NVIDIA/CUDA-5.0
/usr/local/cuda
(Some of those will be empty and it’s normal)

OR you can try the method that use Terminal to do that from here: http://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-installation-guide-mac-os-x/index.html#uninstall

After step 1, make sure to do a restart to really get your Mac to a fresh state.

MacOS 10.13.6 High Sierra (17G14033)

These installations may require you to restart your computer several times, just go ahead. And do it one more time when everything are all installed, too!

…aaaaand boooom, it’s done!
I think you may not see the annoying “Update Required” message anymore, also there’s now an nVIDIA icon on your menu bar - which showing the new nVIDIA web version driver is managing the GPU right now (Thank God!). You can also hide it in System Preferences > NVIDIA Driver Manager and uncheck the “Show NVIDIA Driver Manager in menu bar” checkbox. Try checking your CUDA-required software to make sure you have solved the problem, too.

If this could help you, please leave a reply so other people can see!
That’s all. I hope it helps! Sorry for my bad English :P

Thanks, and have a good day from now!!
