Hey guys, I'm trying to updated the drivers for 330m, I go to the Nvidia website and such do the searching, search the perfect match

Correct Graphic card, correct OS(10.6.6 Snow Leopard) and what not, everything looks good

However once downloaded I get the message

Unsupported System

This system will not support this Nvidia Graphics Solution

Anyone know how to fix?

Here is the driver url:

Buy a Mac Pro and the Nvidia Quadro 4000 because that's what you need. This is what it says under "additional information":
MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS for Quadro 4000 for Mac

Model identifier should be MacPro3,1 (2008), MacPro4,1 (2009), MacPro5,1 (2010) or later
Mac OS X v10.6.5 or later
Intel Xeon® processor or higher
Dual slot with one (1) open PCI Express ×16 slot (if also installing the optional 3D Stereo bracket)
2 GB system memory recommended

The release highlights also only mention Mac Pro and the Quadro 4000. The information under the supported products seems to be incorrect :mad:

So they(Nvidia) linked the wrong Drivers am I to assume?


So that means I have to randomly find the correct driver? ugh.

There are no updated driver for it on OS X, so you can stop searching, you're wasting your time. The "latest" OS X drivers came preinstalled on the machine. This isn't windows.
