NVIDIA WebDriver Updater For Mac

NVIDIA WebDriver Updater offers you the possibility to find and download updates for the NVIDIA drivers right from the source, even though the software does not support your hardware configuration.

Moreover, NVIDIA WebDriver Updater can patch the NVDAStartupWeb kernel extension, and offers you the possibility to install a customized version of the NVEnabler kext.

The NVIDIA WebDriver Updater user interface is organized with the help of tabs, so you can quickly switch between the download manager and the extensions configuration panels.

The NVIDIA WebDriver Updater utility also checks the status of your internet connection: network access is required to download the archives. Note that NVIDIA WebDriver Updater will get the packages from the NVIDIA website, but modifies them right away to eliminate any limitation.

To get started, just press the “Check NVIDIA Update” button and the NVIDIA WebDriver Updater will let you know if there is a new version. Just select the build of your OS X installation and press the “Download” button to proceed.

Worth mentioning is that NVIDIA WebDriver Updater comes with the option to start installing the new driver right away, or you can opt to save the package to your desktop and deal with the process at a later time.

Within the NVIDIA WebDriver Updater user interface, you can also patch the NVDAStartupWeb.kext and apply a fake NVDARequiredOS key. This procedure is necessary if your current OS installation does not support the drivers.

Keep in mind that patching this kernel extension modifies the original signature and might produce unwanted effects, such as making the operating system unbootable. As a result, it is advisable to backup your system beforehand.

You get to activate various properties for the NVIDIA video card by adjusting parameters for the NVEnabler kext. Within the appropriate panel you get to modify the settings, and then place the personalized kext file on your desktop, ready to be installed.

To sum up, NVIDIA WebDriver Updater is a straightforward utility that helps you find, download, and install the latest drivers for your video card even if you are not using an Apple vetted machine.

The NVIDIA WebDriver Updater utility prepares the download archive for installation by removing any hardware restrictions and also helps you modify the parameters of certain kernel extensions.
