    This driver update is for Mac Pro 5,1 (2010), Mac Pro 4,1 (2009) & Mac Pro 3,1 (2008) users.
    (Mac Pro 5,1 is also ID for 2012 model. 2009 Mac Pro can run Sierra with the unofficial EFI 5,1 update.)

  • (I don't have any way to test this, but last week Nvidia said that Mac Drivers with Pascal support were coming this month - some say there's beta Pascal card support in this driver.)
    FYI: Bill S. wrote that the f01 driver doesn't support the "Night Shift" feature in macOS 10.12.4.

    Update: On April 20, 2017 they posted Driver v378.05.05.05f02 for macOS 10.12.4 (16E195).
    Bill later wrote the F02 driver does support 'Night Shift' mode. He also sent f02 driver benchmarks using a GTX-1050 Ti (pascal) card in his 'hackintosh'.
