' NVIDIA CUDA 387.99 for macOS release
Release Date: 2017.12.08
Language: English (U.S.)
File Size: 35.5 MB

New Release 387.99

• CUDA driver update to support CUDA Toolkit 9.0, macOS 10.13.2 and NVIDIA display driver 378.10.10.10.25.102
  (.102 driver is for build 17C88, before later .103 driver for build 17C89.)
• macOS CUDA driver version format change
  - The macOS CUDA driver version now uses the format xxx.xx compare to x.x.x to be consistent with our Linux and Windows driver version namin convention.

Supported macOS - 10.13.x

An alternative method to download the latest CUDA driver is within macOS environment. Access the latest driver through System Preferences > Other > CUDA. Click 'Install CUDA Update'. Supports all NVIDIA products available on Mac HW. '

Note: this driver does not support the older generation GPUs with compute capability 1.x. To find out the compute capability of your GPU, consult the following links:
iMac Pro product page 'Available 12/14' (Apple) https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUDA.'

FYI: A reader (Keith) said he updated to macOS 10.13.2 using the Combo Update (Combo Updater download is linked in yesterday's news below) and it was build 17C89, not 17C88. Therefore the above driver for 17C88 didn't work. (Readers Steve B. and Ken also replied to confirm Combo Update was 17C89. Apple's developer post for 10.13.2 initial release shows 17C88 build number.)
Keith later sent a workaround terminal script (SystemVersion.plist mod), but Nvidia has posted an updated v378.10.10.10.25.103 driver for 17C89. (Nvidia posted updates for 10.13.2, 10.12.6 and 10.11.6 within 24hrs, which surprised me.) Curious what's different in build 17C89. Apple also quickly pushed a later build (17B1003 vs 17B1002) of 10.13.1 w/Security Update 2017-001.

As of post time, the CUDA link on the download page goes to the current CUDA version, which doesn't list macOS 10.12.x support, but a reader report on Nov. 1st said he used it with the previous build of macOS 10.12.6 and nvidia web driver. (Unknown if new CUDA 387.99 works in Sierra, as its download page also only lists macOS 10.13.x support.)

The driver page mentions an old CUDA v7.5.29, but link goes to the current version, which doesn't list OS X 10.11.x support. If you already have CUDA installed, check the prefs for an update. (The last CUDA version that listed OS X 10.11.x support on the download page was CUDA 8.0.90, but the D/L page listing isn't always accurate.)

'The macOS High Sierra 10.13.2 update improves the stability, compatibility and security of your Mac, and is recommended for all users.

FYI on Nvidia Web Driver Updates:
Users of Nvidia's web drivers should know that new OS updates (versions or later build numbers after Security Updates) break any currently installed Nvidia web graphics driver. I'd switch to the default Apple driver and reboot before updating, if your card is supported with the default drivers. If not, wait for a Nvidia driver update. (Some non-Mac EFI cards are not supported by default OS X drivers.)
Of course have a current backup (and if possible, a Clone) of your boot drive before any update. (Update - see above for Nvidia CUDA 387.99 and web graphics driver updates for macOS 10.13.2 and new builds of 10.12.6 and 10.11.6.)
