I was finally able to install the .104 package today with Sierra 10.13.2+Supplemental and have everything work, WITHOUT anything hacky.
NVIDIA Alternate Graphics Drivers for macOS 10.13.2 + Supplemental Update (17C205) https://images.nvidia.com/mac/pkg/378/WebDriver-378.10.10.10.25.104.pkg
It did NOT work until I downloaded the supplemental update from the app store, which changed my OS version to 17C205. That update was released on Jan 8. Prior to that my version number was 17C88 and nothing worked. I WAS able to tweak the OS version number variable (var supportedOSBuildVer) in the package installer to force installation of other versions, but the driver wasn’t actually selectable in the NVIDIA Driver Manager system tray icon until now. The update required alert in the CUDA system preference is also gone now.
For those just joining this thread…the .102 and .103 links you see above won’t work with a fully patched High Sierra system.
…and worth noting – the performance difference now that I’m using the NVIDIA Web Driver instead of the default Mac OS driver is dramatic. I have my old computer back now. Before this my external 4k screen was unusable on High Sierra in scaled mode.
[edit: nope. there’s still a memory leak. after an hour WindowServer couldn’t handle scaled mode on the external monitor again. so this will get your CUDA back online but it doesn’t solve the High Sierra scaling performance bug]
Hola itmaybejj
Los enlaces .102 y .103 que ves arriba si funcionarán con un sistema High Sierra.

Hi, I’m new here, Running late 2013 mbp, Nvidia 750M 2Gb. Read all posts here, updated to 17C205, without any hack steps, installed 104 web driver now. all went ok, There are choice of Nvidia Web driver and standart, after I installed 387.99 CUDA, and still have this stat pop up window about update. But still I’m able to switch to Nvidia Web driver option. How could I know that CUDA is working. For example AE cc 2017 don’t allow me to have any GPU options, so I assume that it is not.
UPDATE: I followed you tube video for eliminating pop up update, by adding my driver ver to the list.
So at the end I have both CUDA and Web driver, Web driver could be active, no pop up message after that, does it mean that CUDA is working (still can not choose it at AE CC 2017):
Nvidia driver manager tells:
Nvidia Web driver 378.10.10.10.25.104
Cuda driver tells:
CUDA Driver 387.99
GPU Driver Version: 35511.10.10.20.111
Tried to choose renderer at Premier pro cc 2017, only 3 options available: Open CL / Metal / Software. May be I miss something here and premier use CUDA with some of those options… or my 750M Cuda no more supported by Premier pro cc 2017. So question about testing CUDA working or not arises.
I tried to use CUDA-Z to tes if CUDA working, and received error message: No compatible CUDA devices found!
Please update your NVIDIA driver and try again! Guess it is not working. Who have same mpb solved this case on 10.13.2 17C205 update?
Honestly I might get this comment banned and I would like to apologize to everyone on this thread in advance for this reply. As I know you and I are all working hard to constructively move forward in an honestly bad situation.
The truth is I am human and I am utterly sick and disgusted of NVIDIA and their lack of feedback, laziness, and general lackluster approach to this whole problem. It is absolutely unacceptable that a company like can leave hundreds of thousands of macs in the dust where some of rely on the graphics performance for our very livelihood in graphic design, photography and any other application that require the tools we purchased for thousands of dollars to work correctly.
After all the news of class action lawsuits against Apple for admitted slowdowns on older iOS devices I am surprised that there has been no mention of a class action against nvidia and Apple at this point for falsely claiming high Sierra is compatible with older and even recent Macs.
This cat and mouse game of constant updates breaking the web drivers and the relative high level of skill to even get this workaround to function should not be required of the average person.
Again I apologize for my frustration but in the off chance this company sees this message and has a sliver of an idea that a lot of people all over the world have Macs that don’t function at their best is just unbelievable. I will be looking at legal options this week with consumer protection groups.
Based on many years of experience, I have not seen anybody being banned from these forums other than for posting spam (and clearly illegal or destructive content, although I cannot recall specific instances). These forums are provides as a platform for user-to-user exchange of ideas. Rants are a reasonable common occurrence here.
To figure out where to best direct your efforts (legal or otherwise), maybe ponder the following:
(1) Which company did you buy your computer from?
(2) Whose software updates keep breaking whose working software?
(3) In the relationship between Apple and NVIDIA, which is the much bigger (and thus powerful) company?
@Nicolaselhanionline You’re absolutely right. Some people, including myself, need these machines (and their capacity) to actually make money for a living… For thousands (in my case euro’s) at least we can expect some realistic support.
Was u able to run in cuda mode after? Or you could before u did it. Because as I ubderstood this only helps to eliminate annouing pop-up window about dreivers update.
YEAH!!! SOLVED. Now CUDA software driver shows same GPU driver as Nvidia Web. Solution is EXTREMELY SIMPLE. While your installatoin of web drivers you will see pop up window of the security settings and you will need to approve download by WebDriver installer (read window carefully), otherwise if you just close this window you will have Web driver installer finish with no warnings, but CUDA driver still be pupping up with update and GPU driver will not be updated.!!! Reminder, I’m currently on 10.13.2. 17C205 all u need is WebDriver-378.10.10.10.25.104 + cudadriver_387.99_macos that is all. GeForce 750M 2GB
Excuse me switch-2k, I tried reinstalling the web driver to see if I got the pop up window you mentioned, the security settings to approve download by WebDriver, but I didn’t got anything like it. I have build 17C205, web driver 378.10.10.10.25.104 and cuda driver 387.99, and still get the “update required” notification. Any suggestion?
Since the High Sierra and CUDA drivers problems (I’m on iMac 27 late 2017 with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4 GB) I experience serious ghosting effects.
I noticed it while using FCPX because it’s grey background.
If i use my browser (which has a lot of white backgrounds) during 5 min and then go back to FCPX, I can see a ghosting effect and this ghosting effect is with vertical lines.
Do you guys experience the same issue ?
I have build 17C205 and WebDriver-378.10.10.10.25.104 + cudadriver_387.99_macos.
Thanks
(to revigam : do you have the Nvidia icon on the menu bar ? If so, then you can choose between the webdriver or the default macosx driver. Select the webdriver and the update pop-up should disappear)
yep - lost my driver to. Waiting for an update. I can´t really work without my graphic card so…I guess my imac (late 2013) is getting to old. Can´t afford to buy a new one - just sitting here waiting to get back to working on my mac.
Having a beer.
It just says: “Unable to connect to NVIDIA. A server with the specified hostname could not be found.”
Currently running on Web Driver: 378.10.10.10.25.104 (not compatible)
Got both NVIDIA Driver Mananger and CUDA Preferences installed. Nothing. Still waiting.
NVIDIA should warn everybody through their control panel/update check system using MacOS not to install maintenance upgrades to the OS if they don’t have a compatible driver prepared…
Hopeless. I’m swapping to ATI as soon as I can afford a new video card.
Nothing worked for me so far. Working on it for weeks now.
Really need it, because I use Octane for my work as a designer. Everything is up to date, and I did get rid of the “Update Required” message in de Cuda driver window, but I think that’s just a solution for the message and not a solution to get everything working again.
Had contact with the Apple support and they said that I had to do a reinstall of High Sierra in Recovery Mode. And as soon as this was successful all drivers would have to be good to go again. But nothing changed, the only thing that changed is that I got an update from 10.13.2 > 10.13.3
I know see there is also an update from Nvidia above, but I have some questions left?
I have a Geforce GT 650M so would this beta version work already on my iMac?
Do I need to unistall everything? Also CUDA?
And in what order should I install it again, first CUDA or first the Web Driver? I read various stories about this?
