The D/L page lists older CUDA v7.0.64, but link goes to current CUDA 8 version that does not list OS X 10.10.x support. Here's a link to the last (as of Dec. 15th) CUDA version that listed 10.10.x support - CUDA 7.5.30 from June 27th, 2016. (Hopefully it still works with this driver update.)

Nvidia Graphics Driver Update for macOS Sierra 10.12.2
(FYI: For later drivers, see Mac Nvidia Driver Downloads page.)
(Dec 14, 2015) Download page for Nvidia Graphics Driver 367.15.10.25f01 for macOS Sierra 10.12.2 build 16C67.
Here's info from the D/L page (other than version/builds, same info as previous releases):
"CUDA Application Support:
In order to run macOS Applications that leverage the CUDA architecture of certain NVIDIA graphics cards, users will need to download and install a compatible CUDA driver. CUDA driver which supports macOS Sierra 10.12.2 will be available at a later date.
(Nvidia posted CUDA 8.0.57 on Dec. 15th with support for this driver.)
New in Release 367.15.10.25f01:
Graphics driver updated for macOS Sierra 10.12.2 (16C67)
Contains performance improvements and bug fixes for a wide range of applications.
Includes NVIDIA Driver Manager preference pane.
Includes BETA support for iMac and MacBook Pro systems with NVIDIA graphics
Release Notes Archive:
This driver update is for Mac Pro 5,1 (2010) users.
(2009 Mac Pro can run Sierra with the unofficial EFI 5,1 update)
BETA support is for iMac 14,2 / 14,3 (2013), iMac 13,1 / 13,2 (2012) and MacBook Pro 11,3 (2013), MacBook Pro 10,1 (2012), and MacBook Pro 9,1 (2012) users."
I'd seen posts from CUDA 8.0.53 users showing a red "Update Required" in CUDA prefs after updating to 10.12.2, but they didn't appear to have updated to the new Nvidia web graphics driver for 10.12.2. I wondered if the CUDA message could be related to not finding a working nvidia graphics driver (broken by 10.2.2 update) - however a reader (rMBP) replied saying CUDA 8.0.53 still showed "Update Required" after installing the new Nvidia graphics driver for 10.12.2.
BTW: A reader and a post in Apple's forums said despite the "Update Required" with previous CUDA version, it still worked. (Per a CUDA benchmark IIRC.) I assume if using 10.12.2 the new graphics driver was installed.
