my dumb ass updated security drivers for 10.10.5.
Now the nVidia drivers are not congruent.

I know there is a way to fool the drivers.

Followed this:
How to solve:

In terminal:

sudo nano /System/Library/Extensions/NVDAStartup.kext/Contents/Info.plist

edit:

<key>BuildMachineOSBuild</key>

<string>11F1021</string> <--- same this.

and:

<key>NVDARequiredOS</key>

<string>14F1021</string> <--- same this.

save with ctrl+x and y then reboot. after reboot, go to settings->nvidia driver and select nvidia driver. go to terminal and execute this commands:

sudo kextcache -system-prelinked-kernel

sudo kextcache -system-caches

reboot

this worked for me. sorry my bad english.

But I cannot select nVidia drivers in the control panel.

I could go to 10.11, but have read some nightmare reviews. One in particular of entire drives becoming unreadable.

Also, as of now, does this mean that updating a fresh install if 10.10 to 10.10.5 will break the nVida drivers? It has been a month and no new version.
