Title: MacBook Pro graphics drivers
Post by: tginick93 on July 17, 2012, 04:38:40 am
Has anyone with a Macbook pro (with an nvidia gpu) tried updating their graphics drivers? I haven't gotten a driver update from apple for quite a while and I suspect they are kind of outdated...

I'm not sure, but I don't think Apple updates the drivers often. Most notebook manufacturers usually don't offer driver updates, especially not for hardware by another manufacturer (e.g. nVidia).

That's what I figured. I just tried installing the latest nvidia driver from their website and all it did was break more than it improved. (e.g. arc now does not dispose certain images which didn't happen with apple's driver) >.>

Luckily I have a system restore point...
