Reader Feedback on Nvidia 378.05.05.05f02 driver with GTX-1050 Ti card
Bill sent comments on the f02 driver (Info/DL below) used with a GTX-1050 Ti card:
"'Night Shift' now works on Mac OS 10.12.4 with f02 driver. (It didn't with f01.)

And I have a new Gigabyte nVidia GTX 1050 Ti OC (low profile) graphics card
which has the "Pascal" architecture, and it runs fine.

Unigine's "Valley" benchmark on my Mini-ITX 'Hackintosh' puts up these numbers:
