Is There a NVidia Webdriver For Sierra Public Beta yet

Yes

 

The Public Beta is NOT 16A201w. I've only seen a web driver for the DP 1 in MVC's website.

If the PB1 is same as DP2, then he is looking for a web driver for 16A239j.

 

you can modify Info.plist in NVDAStartupWeb.kext and change 16A201 to just 16A and it will work with every beta

on DP2 it has issues with safari and appstore apps.

 

Sierra is not even ready for any serious GPU work let alone a third party driver.

 

Hopefully the next version they release at least has Maxwell support. Pascal would be a pleasant surprise.

 

No but it looks like Nvidia is getting close to including the device IDs even if they can't optimise for the architecture until they have Metal apps to test with. It's the same issue with Maxwell. If all you have is an old OpenGL API to test against then how can you test and optimise? That's why the web drivers have been stuck on an ancient 346 build for so long.

I'll keep Sierra betas and the web driver updated and let you know if or when Pascal IDs are included for GPU initialisation.

I think we can reasonably assume that Pascal is definitely not coming to any OS older than Sierra because those systems will be stuck on old versions of OpenGL and Metal that will soon become redundant.

 

I installed Sierra PB on a second SSD on my cMP.
nVidia asked for a driver update. I let it do and now I have the nVidia Web driver working in macOS Sierra as it should.

Edit: version number is 367.05.10.05b07.

 

The driver has been updated for Sierra Beta 2 and it installs without having to deal with SIP.

 

If you have anything from Apple, do not install the web driver, unless you want constant crashes of graphics, restarts, and artefacts in any application that relies on GPU.

Tried 3 times on clean and updated version of Sierra. Everytime there is the same behaviour. MBP mid 2012 with GT650M.

 

I am using the web driver on my 680GTX and it is performing exactly as I would expect. Although I am on a cMP it my be different for MBP graphics.
