  What Driver and CUDA for GTX 285?

  Posted by Jim Wiseman on August 25, 2011 at 10:24 pm

  I have a GTX 285 EVGA that I want to install in a new 5.1 2010 Mac Pro hexacore. I need to stay at 10.6.7 for several software compatibility reasons. What specific NVidia Display driver, CUDA driver and any other driver do I need to get the GTX 285 going optimally in my Mac Pro?

  Will I need the GT 120 once I have the GTX 285 running properly or can the 285 handle the displays? Also, is everything installed in the HD/ System/ Library/Extensions where it can be easliy removed if necessary?

  Thanks!
