Ben Russell Posted September 18, 2015 Report Posted September 18, 2015 nVidia are releasing drivers for Mac directly. http://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/2015/08/31/mac-driver/ Quote
chris k Posted September 18, 2015 Report Posted September 18, 2015 Yep. I did some stats -- Saw a 15% increase across the board. Theory is these new drivers are now less CPU-intensive; not necessarily any better GPU usage per se. However, "a win is a win" =) Quote

chris k Posted September 19, 2015 Report Posted September 19, 2015 at no time does Ben do a speed test, so I stand by my speed increase assertion. He says his crashing is due so his retina mbp which he admits isn't fully baked for these drivers. Those of you with a full size PC Card GTX 670 GRX 970) or the 650m in the mbp 2013 model (the above are they confgigs I have personally tested and know work 100%) should see the increase. Quote
Ben Russell Posted September 19, 2015 Author Report Posted September 19, 2015 "Tightly Integrated" GPU's have always been a problem. Ever seen a GPU driver update for a cheap Wintendo Laptop? Didn't think so. As for crashing, well, for me, the Apple drivers crash already whenever they feel like it. Quote
