(The Additional Info tab has instructions on install. Supported macs/models is not always 100% accurate. In the past some have used them on other than what is listed.) MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS for Driver Release 331.01.01f04

The later OS X 10.9.2 build listed as new minimum requirement for .F04 is the build after installing OS X Security Update 2014-002, released April 22nd, 2014.
(IIRC, if you installed the previous Nvidia driver update the web/control panel should show this update available.) BTW: The nvidia drivers page above has a Mac CUDA driver link that has been updated now to direct to Nvidia CUDA for OS X v5.5.47 download page. (Previously it was linking to Oct. 2013 release of CUDA v5.5.28 for OS X.)
BTW: After Effects blog said CUDA 5.5.47 update fixed crashes seen with previous version.
(Update: On 4/16/2014, Nvidia posted CUDA 6.0.37 for Mac OS X.)
I don't have Mavericks on a Mac Pro so can't comment on these but there are 3 reports from PC (some flashed, one not) GTX560/GTX570 card owners in Tuesday's (3/4/2014) archive including 2 with problems after updating to the new drivers.
