These forums host literally all Nvidia drivers that are released through various channels (e.g., OEMs, developers, etc.). If you're getting any of these, watch out for the "MS WHQL Certificate" tag and read the forum comments carefully to avoid potentially buggy drivers. First, you need to click on "Download Driver", download the package and extract it.

That's it! This will remove all hardware checks and will allow you to install NVIDIA drivers on your Mac.
