iMac 2013 + Octane compatible?

I'm trying to install Octane demo to my iMac but running into nvidia issue it seems. First of, does anyone know or can confirm if my iMac can support Octane based on its hardware description?

Mac OS Sierra 10.13.5
iMac 27inch (late 2013 model)
Processor: 3.5 Ghz intel core i7
Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 780M 4096 MB
Memory: 8 GB

The nvidia issue seems to be the driver saying update required even when I installed both 396.64 and 387.178 driver.
GPU driver version says - 355.11.10.10.35.101

Hi,
with Sierra and High Sierra, you need to install also the GPU drivers, not only CUDA:

Here is the link to the latest GPU drivers for CUDA 396.64:

Thanks. So I did install it and I was able to access Octane through cinema 4d. However, anyone had issues restarting from their Mac? My iMac went into a black screen after nvidia update but somehow it worked after several more reboots.
