It’s the only Nvidia driver available for my graphics card. After the install I tried it at lower resolution levels as well but still get red lines at the horizon.

i did install the nvidia beta drivers on my late 2013 imac (gtx 780m, intel 3.6). they are working just fine after several days testing. Horizon artifacts are gone and performance seems a few fps better to me.

I just update to the latest ( Aug 2015 release ) Nvidia CUDA Driver Version 7.0.36. It can be done using the system preferences ( never knew it was there until now ).
The red lines are still there along the horizon but maybe not quite as pronounced as they were. But I do think there is an increase in FPS. That’s a very good improvement.
Hopefully, the red line issue will be found soon.
Thanks

For what it’s worth, the instability I have seen (which may be just my machine) only happens when the control panel is in NV mode – when I go back to “use OS X driver” stability goes back to normal – so I haven’t had to do an uninstall.

According to Nvidia driver support, I have the latest for my iMac. I would be a bit leery about installing a driver that may not work. Especially, a graphics driver. It might really difficult to change it back if you cannot see anything on the screen.
I’m putting my money on you finding a solution for iMac’s also.
Thanks in advance

In reply to Don Knee. The notebook driver won't run on your machine? Might be worth a try-it-anyway...

Apparently there is not a new Nvidia driver available for my iMac, GForce GTX 680MX for MAC. Only windows and Linux. 🙁
Is this red line fix only for notebooks?

In reply to Don Knee. Correction. The RED lines are still there. My rendering setting were turn down at first and I didn't realize it. Turn back up to where I normally have them and RED lines are still there. Will see if I can find those Nvidia drivers now. Hopefully that does the trick.

Thank you. The annoying RED lines are gone and no crash for me. I’m running Yosemite 10.10.5 on a late 2012 iMac with 2GB video RAM. I did not download any video drivers from Nvidia so running Apple provided drivers.
