Nvidia GeForce GTX 9xx with High Sierra

And again, you are wrong. That list has never changed. It includes only retail Apple supported cards. All the cards on that list are supported natively by MacOS drivers. My GTX 1080 is also not on the list, but it's supported just like your GTX 970 with the Nvidia Web Driver.

Hi, I am having also problems with my nVidia 980 GTX on my Mac Pro 5.1, it worked fine with El Capitan and when upgraded to High Sierra now it does not work, but it is not exactly the same problem as described here, my Mac recognizes the name of the card, installs the drivers succesfully, but when I restart, before the Apple Logo shows there are some black background console prompts and then loads the system but does not use the nVidia driver and the video is completely slow. Heeeeelp please!

^^^^Sounds like you have a flashed card. Is it an MVC flashed card? Have you gone into "System Preferences" than to "Nvidia Driver Manager" to see if the "Nvidia Web Driver" is chosen? If not, choose it, and restart.

I am also assuming you upgraded the Web Driver when you Updated the OS.

Damn!!! You were right. I hate to eat humble pie but I will if proven wrong.

My new Radeon RX 580 arrived and so I took out the old GTX 980 and replaced it. I then upgraded my SSD to High Sierra (it had been El Capitan). The moment the update was complete, Cuda decides to update itself to the latest drivers (namely 387.10.10.10.40.105) and now the GTX 980 is supported.

I have no idea what I was doing wrong be trying to download the driver myself, but....

* Throws herself at the mercy of everyone here.

^^^^Glad it worked out for you. But, you're confusing Cuda with the Web Driver. The latest Cuda Driver is 410.130. The Web driver is 387.10.10.10.40.105. Tho there was a later issue, aborted, 387.10.10.15.15.108, that I am using.
