No sleep-mode wake up. We first tried addressing the issue by having our GTX 980’s flashed with the correct firmware through a service provided by MacVidCards.com. This gave us our Apple logo back on startup, but did not seem to improve the regularity of BSOD occurrences. We were then lead to believe that perhaps it was a power supply issue, where heavy tasks we’re basically cooking the motherboard and causing the machine to seize up. So we purchased external power supplies to run as dedicated power to the card. It seems to have helped reduce the amount of BSOD occurrences slightly, but not completely eliminating them.
Not much information about what standard it is. But since they make the distinction compared to the other 4 HDMI ports which can only do 30Hz, it might just work. That's awesome. It's amazing that the GTX 980 uses 1/3 of the power consumption of my dual 7970s but outperforms them in almost everything. You'd have to figure out what the depreciation rate is ((original cost / years owned) * (month of sale / 12)), what the original cost of the machine is, and what value it has after the length of time it was owned, once you figure out those numbers you can figure out how much your system is worth. And I'm not personally an advocate of the 5K iMac, it's too much investment for a fancy screen with a sub par, non-upgradable laptop behind it. Thanks, I'll take a look into it.
By the way thanks for the guide and thanks in advance for the help! I installed and ran a GTX 960 on my MacPro Tower for the last 10 months. Then today I installed a software update and these Nvidia drivers are no longer compatible with my computer. I cannot reinstall the drivers either. It gives me an error message “Mac OS X version is not compatible”. I reached out to Nvidia chat support and they simply told me the GTX 960 is not supported by Nvidia running on a Mac.
Hello, I have a 2009 octo mac pro. Photo stick for mac. Currently installed two gt120 cards and driving four displays in my office. Typewriter app for mac. However, I have a large plasma display, with built-in speakers, in the room next to my office, and I would love to drive this display from the mac pro.
