CUDA Application Support: In order to run Mac OS X Applications that leverage the CUDA architecture of certain NVIDIA graphics cards, users will need to download and install the 7.5.21 driver for Mac located here. New in Release 346.03.03f02. May 06, 2018 Graphics driver updated for Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11.2 (15C50) Contains performance improvements and bug fixes for a wide range of applications. Includes NVIDIA Driver Manager preference pane. In order to run Mac OS X Applications that leverage the CUDA architecture of certain NVIDIA graphics cards, users will need to download and install the 7.5.29 driver for Mac located here. New in Release 346.03.15f01.
In order to get the most out of your new MacVidCards GPU you may need to install new drivers for your current version of OS X. Please note that AMD GPUs do not require additional drivers; they are built directly into OS X.Nvidia GPUs receive driver updates soon after each version update of OS X. Only one driver is released by Nvidia and it includes support for all of their modern GPUs. You will not find individually named Nvidia drivers for OS X, they are all titled 'Quadro & Geforce Mac OS X Driver Release xxx.xx.xxxxx'. The following list includes links to current and past Nvidia driver releases.
Some releases of OS X have multiple driver releases. In the list below these are differentiated by a build number in parentheses, and are ordered oldest to newest, left to right. Refer here to check your OS X build number and install the driver that matches both your version of OS X and your build number.
Nvidia cards also require a CUDA driver to enable CUDA support. The CUDA driver archive can be found here. Install the latest CUDA driver that works with your currently installed version of OS X to enable CUDA support.

The GeForce 9600 GT Mac Edition was a graphics card by NVIDIA, launched in December 2008. Built on the 65 nm process, and based on the G94 graphics processor, in its G94-300-A1 variant, the card supports DirectX 11.1. The G94 graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 240 mm² and 505 million transistors. It features 64 shading units, 32 texture mapping units and 16 ROPs. NVIDIA has placed 1,024 MB DDR2 memory on the card, which are connected using a 256-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 600 MHz, memory is running at 266 MHz.
Being a single-slot card, the NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT Mac Edition draws power from 1x 6-pin power connectors, with power draw rated at 95 W maximum. Display outputs include: 2x DVI. GeForce 9600 GT Mac Edition is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 2.0 x16 interface. The card measures 229 mm in length, and features a single-slot cooling solution.
