In order to run macOS Applications that leverage the CUDA architecture of certain NVIDIA graphics cards, users will need to download and install the NVIDIA CUDA 9.0 Driver 9.0.222 for macOS. New in Release 346.03.15f11: - Graphics driver updated for Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 (15G17023). The GeForce GTS 450 supports 2-way NVIDIA SLI multi-GPU technology, which allows you to upscale performance by pairing your GTS 450 card with another GTS 450 of any other make. Since this is a mid-range, mainstream GPU, you will be hard pressed to buy two cards in one go, because for the same money you can buy a high-end single-GPU graphics card. Aug 30, 2011 The big problem for the Nvidia GeForce GTS 450 is the fact the HD 5770 is still on the market for the same price, and that last-gen DirectX11 GPU is still one of the best budget cards around. Jan 13, 2018 Can the Fermi based GTS 450 play modern video games at 1080p? I put this Nvidia graphics card to the test in 11 modern titles. Parts in this episode: Enermax.

* A GeForce GTS 450 GPU must be paired with another GeForce GTS 450 GPU (graphics card manufacturer can be different). SLI requires sufficient system cooling and a compatible power supply. Visit www.slizone.com for more information and a listing of SLI-Certified components.
** Supported video software is required to experience certain features. Visit www.nvidia.com for more details.
***Support for HDMI including GPU accelerated Blu-ray 3D support (Blu-ray 3D playback requires the purchase of a compatible software player from CyberLink, ArcSoft, Corel, or Sonic), x.v.Color, HDMI Deep Color, and 7.1 digital surround sound will be added in a Release 260 driver. Upgrade your GPU to full 3D capability with NVIDIA 3DTV Play software, enabling 3D gaming, picture viewing and 3D web video streaming. See www.nvidia.com/3dtv for more details.
