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. NVIDIA® CUDA Toolkit 11.0 no longer supports development or running applications on macOS. While there are no tools which use macOS as a target environment, NVIDIA is making macOS host versions of these tools that you can launch profiling and debugging sessions on supported target platforms. CUDA driver update to support macOS 10.12 and NVIDIA display driver 367.15.10.15f01; Recommended CUDA version(s): CUDA 8.0; Supported MAC OS X. 10.12.x; 10.11.x; An alternative method to download the latest CUDA driver is within Mac OS environment. Access the latest driver through System Preferences Other CUDA. Click 'Install CUDA Update'.
NVIDIA® CUDA Toolkit 11.0 no longer supports development or running applications on macOS. While there are no tools which use macOS as a target environment, NVIDIA is making macOS host versions of these tools that you can launch profiling and debugging sessions on supported target platforms.
You may download all these tools here. Note that the Nsight tools provide the ability to download these macOS host versions on their respective product pages.
Please visit each tool's overview page for more information about the tool and its supported target platforms.

Instructions for installing cuda-gdb on the macOS
- This tar archive holds the distribution of the CUDA 11.0 cuda-gdb debugger front-end for macOS.
Native macOS debugging is not supported in this release, only remote debugging to other CUDA enabled targets.
- To install:
- Create an installation directory
- INSTALL_DIR=$HOME/cuda-gdb-darwin-11.0
mkdir $INSTALL_DIR
cd $INSTALL_DIR - Download the cuda-gdb-darwin-11.0.tar.gz tar archive into $INSTALL_DIR above
- Unpack the tar archive
- tar fxvz cuda-gdb-darwin-11.0.tar.gz
- Add the bin directory to your path
- PATH=$INSTALL_DIR/bin:$PATH
- Run cuda-gdb --version to confirm you're picking up the correct binaries
- cuda-gdb --version
- Double click .dmg file to mount it and access it in finder.
- Drag nvvp folder and drop it to any location you want (say <nvvp_mac>).
Directory Structure:- |--nvvp
|--bin/
|--lib64/
|--libnvvp/ - Open terminal.
- Change to the bin folder
- > cd <nvvp_mac>/nvvp/bin
- Run nvvp script file in command line
- > ./nvvp
- Remote profiling
- Import nvprof output files
