Nvidia Web Driver causing CUDA issues

Accelerated Computing CUDA CUDA Setup and Installation
1

After countless attempts in trying to install CUDA to my system, I am about out of options.
I have installed, uninstalled and re-installed countless times for High Sierra and still am getting the same error on my GPU Sniffer thru Adobe

— GPU Computation Info —
Found 3 devices supporting GPU computation.
CUDA Device 0 -
Name: Quadro 4000
Vendor: NVIDIA
Capability: 2
Driver: 9.2
Total Video Memory: 2047MB

  • Not chosen because of initialization failure.

Because of this my CUDA will not work with my Adobe products for rendering. The issue seems to appear once I install the most current nvidia Web Driver and restart my computer.

Running a MacPro 5,1 with dual video cards. 1 ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024MB & a Quadro 4000 for Mac.

Here is my full Terminal description from GPU Sniffer.

Please any assistance would really help me. Feel like I have tried almost everything instead of internal coding…

CUDA 9.x (9.0, 9.1, 9.2) doesn’t support Quadro 4000. Nor will any future CUDA toolkit.

The last CUDA toolkit that supported that GPU is CUDA 8.0

Eventually, support for these older Fermi GPUs will probably completely disappear from NVIDIA software, including the driver. I couldn’t tell you exactly when that will happen, or if it has already happened for your GPU on the Mac GPU driver you installed. It may also be an incompatibility with some other aspect of the GPU stack, perhaps not the GPU driver itself but the Mac CUDA driver you have installed.

If there is an older driver/config that works, you might want to use that and acknowledge that your Quadro 4000 has reached end of life.

Do you have a work around I can use to get my Quadro 4000 to work on High Sierra?
