980 TI IN A MAC PRO 5.1 2016 UPDATE

( HIGHEST average frames per second = FASTEST ) We ran the built-in benchmark set to 'HIGH' preset. Next we tried some OpenGL, GPU intensive games with the BizonBOX 2 connected to the LG UltraWide display using a DisplayPort on the GeForce GTX 980 Ti. BizonBOX 2 provides an important GPU option - especially if your Mac Pro cylinder only has the lower end D300 and D500 GPUs. Even with the slower bandwidth of Thunderbolt 2 compared to the x16 PCIe slot, the BizonBOX 2 provided comparable performance in 3 out of 4 cases. Note that we included results for the GTX 980 Ti running in the 2010 Mac Pro tower. And in the case of Blender, even with both D700s rendering, they took longer than one GeForce GTX 980 Ti. However, as in the case of DaVinci Resolve it took dual D700s to equal the performance of one GeForce GTX 980 Ti. On the other hand, apps like DaVinci Resolve and Blender support both CUDA and OpenCL which makes room for AMD GPUs (like the FirePro D700) that only support OpenCL. Before we connected the BizonBOX 2 with an NVIDIA GPU, the 'late 2013' Mac Pro was not able to run Octane Render or any other 'CUDA only' app. ( LOWEST time in seconds = FASTEST )Р В РІР‚СњР вЂ™Р’В¬ertain pro apps (like Octane Render) require a GPU that supports CUDA. We used the single BMW scene provided by Blenchmark.

With Compute Device set either OpenCL or CUDA, Blender is forced to use one or more GPU for rendering the test scene. ( HIGHEST number in average Frames per Second = FASTEST ) Though the target speed is 25 FPS, we set the maximum playback framerate to 500 fps to force fastest possible playback speed. Using the full version, when you playback a project while applying Noise Reduction on the fly, the GPU(s) are stressed.

The makers of Octane Render now offer a standardized benchmark to make it easier to compare your CUDA GPU to others. The render time is tracked and displayed in total seconds. For our test we selected RenderTarget PT (Path Tracing). The DEMO comes with a scene called octane_benchmark.ocs. However, it only works with CUDA capable NVIDIA graphics cards. and does so in a fraction of the time it takes with a CPU based renderer. QUADRO & GEFORCE MACOS DRIVER RELEASE 378.10.10.10.25.This is a 'GPU only' standalone renderer that can process scenes created in and exported from Maya, ArchiCAD, Cinema 4D, etc.

Everything is working as it's supposed to now.

After uninstalling Cuda and the official nVidia driver I had to restart, install the new nvidia web driver, restart, install Cuda, restart, unistall the new nvidia web driver, (this cleared the Gatekeeper error), restart, reinstall the new nvidia web driver, restart. (it was still a problem from the original driver upgrade). Gatekeeper was a problem but this is how I got it to clear up.

You have to have the very latest 10.13.2 supplemental update for these to work.

Below are the links to the 10.13.2 nVidia Web Drivers and the Cuda for MACOS latest. After some hunting I came acrossР В РІР‚СњР В РІР‚РЋollowed the instructions, added a tweak, and within about an hour was able to get the nVidia 'Web Release' drivers and Cuda 9 all playing nicely with High Sierra.
