GTX 970 under OS X 10.10.x and all updated NVIDIA drivers produces this error:
cuCtxCreate: invalid source
The problem is that current CUDA is NOT compatible with the NVIDIA GPU web drivers.
To make use of CUDA use an older version of CUDA.
USE:
GPU driver: 343.01.02f03 till 343.02.01f01
CUDA driver: 6.5.25 Nothing after will work currently - Dec 26)

Just join to thank you for this post !
I confirm I am on 10.10.1 running 343.02.01f01 (released this week I believe)
I got to 6.5.3something and hit same message as you did.
Reinstall the 6.5.25 and it works great.
Thanks again !

Just an update. I have installed Yosemite 10.10.2 and was required to install NVIDIA’s new WEB Driver 343.02.02 f01. I am still using the CUDA Driver 6.5.25 mentioned above and Blender Cycles is working just fine.
Recap:
OSX version: 10.10.2
GPU driver: 343.02.02 f01
CUDA driver: 6.5.25
CYCLES WORKING!
MacPro 3,1 (Early 2008)
MSI GTX 970 GAMING 4G
32GB RAM

Cycles doesn’t render with GPU. Just empty render window. I’m rendering just a simple small box.
