The information there indicates that only LLVM 7.0.3 is supported. Due to the tight integration of CUDA with the host tool chain (on all platforms), CUDA needs to be adjusted to, and validated with, individual host tool chain versions. The CUDA tool chain includes various checks for host tool chain compatibility, and throws an error if an unsupported tool chain is found. This is the error message you are seeing.
So, the expectation is that the user updates to Sierra for CUDA 8, but keeps his Xcode intact?
A warning on the download page would be helpful.
So, I guess, my options are either downgrading Xcode or waiting for CUDA to support LLVM 8.
Thanks for the pointer.
The download page does have exactly that warning. I’m glad it also says “We are working on providing an update shortly.” since it really is annoying trying to keep external tool versions in sync. The same delayed version support is common with major GCC updates on Linux or MSVC in Windows since it takes time for the NV engineers to validate the new compiler integration.
I have tried with cuda drivers 8.0.47 and 8.0.51 and toolkits 8.0.46 and 8.0.47, and Xcode 7.3.0 and 7.3.1, all to no avail. Cuda was working on this machine with an older OSX and cuda Version.
Does nvcc work for anyone at all who is using sierra?
Stuck in same situation at Tman2 with Sierra not working:

@stedwik: Thanks, it works now! I did reinstall before but to no avail. What made the difference was to download and install Command Line Tools manually instead of installing it though xcode-select --install. The nvidia install manual should be changed.
It looks like, as of 2016-12-06, the download file is cuda_8.0.55_mac.dmg, and the warning for Mac developers is gone. I tried installing it, and with CUDA 8.0 and Xcode 8.0, deviceQuery and bandwidthTest both pass.
Or is that not a sufficient test?
