[Avid-L2] Re: EVGA GeForce GTX TitanX in expansion chassis MacPro won't boot?

 

Thanks for the additional recommendation.  I contacted MacVidCards a year ago when I purchased the Titan X cards and here is what they told me then:

"The Titan-X requires 10.10 or later, will have no acceleration in 10.9.5. Not flashed Titan-X won't work at all there."

I took that to mean if I was as long as I was at OS 10.10 that the card could work as a second GPU.  Perhaps more has been revealed since then.  I am waiting to hear back from them now that I've started to install the card.  I have been told that Sierra is required if I was adding more than one additional GPU but perhaps I have misunderstood the exact details regarding this.  A year ago I was under the impression that there were no Mac Versions of the Titan X but now I see MacVidCards has a listing for one but they are out of stock.  I was also under the impression a year ago that the Titan X took more than a flash for a mac that there was some soldering involved.  I'm going to see what I can clarify during the week.

I just spent two hours on a Nvidia Tech Support Chat and nothing really came of it but they are going to research more and get back to me.  Oh what fun.  Again thanks for the additional Sierra recommendation it helps to hear what others are doing in this regard.  I did find it odd that on the Nivida Tech chat the support person told me multiple GPUs weren't used in Mac or PC computers or at least not recommended.  That is incorrect from what I know as many are running mulitple GPUs in the PC world.  Perhaps running an expansion chassis is also adding to problems but I know this chassis is working for someone else. 

Time to go back to a linear bay.

It's been stated by others but I'll say it again: the NVidia Pascal GPUs (Gtx 10x0, i.e. GTX1080, etc, Titan X) are only working with OS 10.12.5 and above. The drivers available for the earlier versions of Mac OS only support up to the Kepler cards (GTX 9x0).
You are on Mac OS 10.0.5, your card is NEVER going to work until you upgrade the OS to 10.12.5 or 10.12.6 and then install the corresponding drivers.
