Quadro & GeForce Mac OS X Driver Release 313.01.01 for OS X 10.8.3 now available

nigelbb · May 15, 2013

I downloaded & installed CUDA 5.0.58 a week or two ago & when I checked System Preferences today it prompted me to update to 5.0.59 so I checked on the Nvidia website & their new driver for 10.8.3 is now available http://www.nvidia.com/object/macosx-313.01.01f03-driver.html

----------

OK, should have checked that it actually worked before posting but it appears the file on Nvidia's website is corrupt as I get the error :-

The following disk images couldn't be opened
WebDriver-313.01.01f03.dmg Not recognized

cal6n · May 15, 2013

It installed fine for me.

*edit* As Asgorath notes below, I downloaded the .pkg file.

Asgorath · May 15, 2013

Edit: Try renaming the file from .dmg to .pkg, it should work after that.

----------

Here's a direct link to the .pkg file, looks like just the "Download" button gives the wrong thing:

Thanks a lot guys. Now why didn't I think of that?

cal6n · May 15, 2013

It hasn't helped with Civ5's unexpected quits.

What's going wrong? I haven't played Civ5 in a while. Do you have a crash log?

Lil Chillbil · May 15, 2013

Its things like this that made me wish I had stay'ed with mac for longer than I did before going with a pc workstation

cal6n · May 15, 2013

The quits began with 10.8.3 and the latest G&K patch from Aspyr. Difficult to to say whether the OS or the game or a combination of the two are to blame. I got occasional quits using my old Apple branded 5870, an unflashed GTX 670 and now a flashed GTX 680. These quits are the only issue I have with the whole of my system.

Aspyr support were unable to help while I was running the 5870, suggesting that a VGA switch box was to blame, even though it was unpowered and connected to nothing at the time. Disconnecting it didn't improve matters.

Maybe I'll try them again. Anyway, here's today's crash report.

Yeah, it's unrelated to graphics drivers, the game itself is crashing:

I would forward that crash report to Aspyr if you can, since they'll be the only ones who can fix it.

Oh, interesting. That one looks like it's crashing while compiling a shader or something. Can you attach the full crash log for that one? I wonder if the game is just running out of memory, since I think it's still a 32-bit app.

Here you are. Good of you to take a look for me.

After install new item in the menu bar

After installing this update I saw a new NVIDIA item in the menu bar at the right.`
You can choose between default drivers and the web drivers.
Also some other settings like auto updates etc..

macmaniac75 · May 15, 2013

maybe the same problem as me with an EVGA 670 not flashed : crash at startup of a new game in civ V gods and kings

solved with down setting of fog from high to normal. Now stable, no crash.

Hope it will help.

Yep, that appears to be part of the new "NVIDIA Driver Manager" preference pane. You can enable ECC on the Quadro K5000, automatically check for updates, and switch between the NVIDIA driver and the stock Apple driver. Pretty neat stuff!

Doesn't help. The crashes happen regardless of video settings.

Aspyr have responded to my Civ 5 support query and it's pretty much what I expected:

Aspyr Technical Support, May 15 03:50 pm (CDT):
Unfortunately, at this time, the 680 is not supported so we are unable to run a proper test case with that card.
Thank you.
Aspyr Support

Calvindavidson, May 15 03:55 pm (CDT):
When do you expect to support it?

Aspyr Technical Support, May 15 04:01 pm (CDT):
We will not be updating the game again until the release of the Brave New World expansion pack due out sometime this summer.
Thank you.
Aspyr Support

Calvindavidson, May 15 04:04 pm (CDT):
Will you be supporting the GTX 680 with that update?

Aspyr Technical Support, May 15 04:38 pm (CDT):
Currently, the 680MX equipped on the latest iMac models is supported. Since the drivers are different with the GTX 680 utilizes different drivers, there is a chance that performance will differ. However, we will be looking into implementing support for GTX 680 in future updates.
Thank you.
Aspyr Support

Guess I'll be playing Civ in Windows from now on.

ActionableMango · May 15, 2013

Not supporting the GTX680 is a valid excuse, but it doesn't explain the crashes you had with the Apple branded 5870.

Unless they don't support Apple cards either.

I think this is telling, from both your crash logs:

TOTAL 3.7G
TOTAL, minus reserved VM space 3.4G

That seems awfully high for a 32-bit process. Looks like the game is simply running out of memory and crashing, though the place at which the crash happens varies depending on who's unlucky enough to have malloc() fail. Hopefully Aspyr will fix it soon.

What I think is even more funny than NVidia supplying people with corrupt or misnamed driver downloads is that when you go to that site it suggests signing up for OS X driver news and updates via newsletter:

but when you actually go there to sign up OS X is not an option for OS selections:

Hmm, maybe it's NVidia who's having the real laugh.

initialsBB · May 16, 2013

In regards to Civ 5, I think it's much more G&K the culprit. I was having systematic crashes on turn 25 for a while, no matter what the game options were, even though I had almost zero crashes on the vanilla version since it was released. I totally removed the game and reinstalled through Steam and now crashes are more sporadic, but I quick save frequently !! Looking at forums it seems there are bugs on both Mac and Windows versions of G&K.

cal6n · May 16, 2013

My crashes only started relatively recently, around the time Aspyr released the last patch. Unfortunately, Apple released 10.8.3 at the same time, so it's difficult to pin down the culprit. The original G&K and the fall patch under 10.8.2 were both stable for me.

I've had no crashes in Windows at all, either, although I'm only playing there due to the Mac version's bugginess. It is nice to be able to max-out all the graphics options no matter what size map I'm on. I could get used to that sort of stability.

CUDA-Z (0.7.184) shows that my driver version is 304.10 (8.10.44 304.10.65f03). Is there any other way to check the NVIDIA driver version?

NVIDIA Driver Manager says that I am using the NVIDIA Web Driver, and drivers are up to date (313.01.01f03).

Where is the problem, why CUDA-Z shows 304.10?

It's probably only looking at the version of the stock Apple driver (e.g. GeForceGLDriver.bundle) while the new NVIDIA web driver has a different name (GeForceGLDriverWeb.bundle) so that they can both be installed at the same time. Hopefully the CUDA-Z people will update their app to fix this.

----------

For what it's worth, the "Download" button is now giving me the .pkg file as expected. Looks like they fixed that last night.
