It could work if following driver is installed on your Mac Pro.

Oct 28, 2016 9:11 PM

Presently there are not any Mac drivers for that series of cards.

The link kaz-k provides only supports:

GeForce 600 Series:

GeForce GTX 680

GeForce 200 Series:

GeForce GTX 285

GeForce 100 Series:

GeForce 8 Series:

GeForce 8800 GT

Quadro Series:

Quadro K5000 for Mac, Quadro 4000 for Mac

Quadro FX Series:

Quadro FX 4800, Quadro FX 5600

The cards do work with Boot Camp though with Windows drivers

I bought that card, and have the same Mac Pro. I tried every NVIDIA driver I could find, (Nvidia doesn’t make it easy to locate all the various Mac drivers). Most wouldn’t even install with Sierra, the few that would didn’t work. Monitor stayed black for a very long time after boot. I didn’t expect to see the boot screen, but I did think it would eventually show the desktop 😟 I’m returning to the card tomorrow.

NO! Be warned.

It won’t work, unless APPLE helps Nvidia supporting driver development for the new GTX 10×0 / Pascal Architecture.

What WORKS:

Instead I recommend to put one (or two) nvidia GTX 980ti or a titan X black into your MacPro (google how to «980ti in mac pro»). They are offered by macvidcards. You also need OS X 10.11 or 10.10 (not Sierra!) and later Nvidia Webdriver for Mac. I run several MacPros with this multi-GPU constellation, runs very nice.

There is a big community of Nvidia/Mac addicted waiting since 6 months for Apple and Nvidia releasing drivers with Pascal/1050/1070/1080 and Titan X PAScal support. Both Apple and Nvidia are «in charge». unfortunately not able to support this newest pascal architecture (maybe because Apple focuses on AMD?).

and, hey apple – look into this forum thread too. you’ll see there are a view apple/nvidia loyal people, hungry for pascal.

2-3 weeks? I think you are a little optimistic. Remember that the last time Nvidia released new graphics cards (the current 10xx series) it took Nvidia more than 10 months to release drivers for MacOS Sierra and then High Sierra.

Even if Nvidia were to start work now I believe it will take at least months before Mojave drivers are available. Don’t forget that Nvidia will also need to support the Metal API in Mojave in the hypothetical new drivers.

Not quite. Nvidia has just released the RTX cards. Do you really think that if Nvidia were to release new drivers they would only support the old cards and not the new RTX cards? If that is really so, then I would incline to agree with you on a shorter time frame.

Also, who is to say that the drivers will support all old cards when they appear? Is it possible that Nvidia may decide to drop old card support (say the Maxwell cards) in order to try to «force» users to buy new cards? I would hope that Nvidia won’t do that, but dropping old card support in new drivers is nothing new to them.

It’s highly unlikely that Nvidia would drop support for 9xx and 10xx series. That would give them terrible PR and would be terrible for getting people to buy a new Nvidia card. ie: why would mac users buy more Nvidia cards if they’re not going to be supported after a couple years?

Nvidia has to look at the overall market when they make decisions like these, which consists of 9xx and 10xx taking a large chunk of the pie.

Nvidia doesn’t have to do too much to upgrade their kexts, as they’re not writing the drivers from scratch at this point. Apple is also embracing the use of external GPU’s, which means a lot more people are going to be using Nvidia cards than the past few years. It’d be beyond stupid for them to not release anything soon.

Выбор видеокарты для хакинтоша. Часть 3. Наболело.

Nvidia недавно выпустила серию видеокарт на ядре Pascal, а именно Nvidia GTX 1050, Nvidia GX 1060, Nvidia GTX 1070 и Nvidia GTX 1080. В предыдущем посте люди спрашивали относительно этих видеокарт. Я постараюсь ответить на все вопросы и вы узнаете, стоит ли делать хакинтош на основе этих видеокарт.

Сейчас вы читаете третью часть выбора видеокарты для хакинтоша.

Предварительно напишу, почему я не рассматриваю видеокарты от AMD. Причина проста — в новых операционных системах, начиная с OS X 10.11 El Capitan не работает сон и готового решения этой проблемы нет. Других проблем с этими видеокартами нет.

Итак, основной вопрос пользователей при выборе новых видеокарт Nvidia звучит так: хочу купить 1050 или 1060 для игр под Mac.

Начнем с того, что macOS, система не для игр и в любом случае OpenGL будет проседать примерно в два раза, по сравнению с DirectX. Далее — новые видеокарты Nvidia Pascal пока не поддерживаются официально в macOS. Да, есть веб-драйвера, но официальных драйверов нет. Энтузиасты обрадовались, когда Nvidia выпустила веб-драйвер для macOS, но не тут то было. QE/CI есть, ускорение тоже есть, но звука к примеру нет. Частоты могут залипать, производительность видеокарт никакая. Возможно это исправится в будущих версиях, но пока работа Pascal крайне нестабильна в macOS.

О чем это говорит? Если вы железо подбираете конкретно под хакинтош, то и подбирайте его под хакинтош. Ищите Nvidia Kepler, есть даже 7XX видеокарты, которые Kepler и которые из коробки работают в macOS. Или найдите на барахолке себе Nvidia 640, 650, 660, которые 100% из коробки будут работать в хакинтоше, если вы никаких инжектов не включили.

Если вы выбираете железо для того, чтобы поиграть, то сразу возникает вопрос — а зачем собственно вам macOS нужна? Есть отличная операционная система Windows, которая более производительна по сравнению с macOS и в которой все ваши видеокарты будут работать как надо.

После Kepler ни одна дискретная видеокарта от Nvidia не работала нормально. Тоже самое касается и AMD. Серия 78XX в маке работает из коробки, далее AMD начала переименовывать свои видеокарты и все пропало.

Как итог — хотите мак, берите Kepler или AMD. Хотите собрать современный игровой комп — устанавливайте Windows. Рекомендую отправлять текст этого поста всем тем, кто хочет собрать себе мощный хакинтош для игр.

You want to use a NVMe SSD? Then it may be better to use High Sierra instead of Sierra (10.12.6). High Sierra supposedly has native support for NVMe SSDs, but Sierra does not. It may be possible to install Sierra on a NVMe SSD but it is not straightforward.

If you use a SATA SSD then you should be able to use Sierra on this build.

Preamble for those new to Nvidia graphics card choices for a Hackintosh

1. You will only have success choosing macOS compatible graphics if you remember that: macOS is not Windows

2. Apple incorporates all their graphics drivers into the mac Operating System. There are only drivers in macOS for a very limited subset of graphics cards made by Nvidia and AMD. You can’t use anything you’d like as you can with Windows.

3. Most every graphics card manufactured today has Windows 10 drivers you can install to make that specific card work. There are no Nvidia Web Drivers written for Mojave or newer macOS versions. The last release of Nvidia Web Drivers for macOS occurred July 30th 2019. These were intended for Classic Mac Pro users that used discrete Nvidia graphics cards.

Quadro & GeForce macOS Driver Release 2019.7.30
Version: 387.10.10.10.40.130
OS: macOS High Sierra 10.13.6

Using an Nvidia graphics card with macOS Mojave, Catalina or Big Sur ​

Q: Since 2015, Apple has stopped using Nvidia graphics chips in Macs. They are now using AMD dedicated graphics exclusively. Why discuss Nvidia here in 2021 ? Shouldn’t I just buy an AMD card ?

A: Some people will still want to and may even need to use Nvidia graphics for whatever reason. They may already have one of these cards or just want a lower cost alternative to a more expensive AMD card that has macOS support.

As of October 2021, the prices of AMD Polaris and Navi based cards have gone extremely high. Many are simply not available for purchase. The Sapphire Pulse RX 580 has been the most popular AMD card in this community. Today it is selling for $738 on Amazon.com. About $570 over normal retail price !

For some, an older Nvidia card will be the only option that works for them right now. This is why I’ve posted this list of supported Nvidia cards and the question/answer section for your reference. It is a rather complex topic and you’ll need to learn this information to make good choices.

Nvidia Cards that don’t work with Mojave, Catalina or Big Sur. Nvidia web drivers are not available.

Avoid all of these cards.

• RTX 3090
• RTX 3080/Ti
• RTX 3070/Ti
• RTX 3060/Ti
• Titan RTX
• RTX 2080 Ti
• RTX 2080 Super
• RTX 2080
• RTX 2070 Super
• RTX 2070
• RTX 2060 Super
• RTX 2060
• GTX 1660 Ti
• GTX 1660 Super
• GTX 1650
• GTX 1080/Ti
• GTX 1070/Ti
• GTX 1060
• GTX 1050/Ti
• GT 1030
• GTX Titan X (GM200 Maxwell core)
• GTX 980/Ti
• GTX 970
• GTX 960
• GTX 950
• GTX 750/Ti
• GTX 745
• GT 645
• Quadro 600
• Quadro K620
• Quadro K1200
• Quadro K220
• Quadro M (all models)
• Quadro P (all models)
• Fermi cards (GF) (all models)

Many of the 600/700 Series Kepler Graphics Cards are still supported in macOS Mojave, Catalina and Big Sur. There are approximately 26 Kepler cards that you can still use today with modern versions of macOS. The Nvidia Chip Codes for these are: GK104, GK107, GK110 and GK208. More about how to determine which chips are installed in specific Nvidia graphics cards later in this article.

The best cards from the 600 series are the GTX 670 and 680. Both have the Kepler GK104 GPU inside.

From the 700 series you can use the GT 710, 720, 730 (not the Fermi versions) and GT 740, GTX 760, 770 and 780 plus the Ti versions. Ten Kepler based Quadro cards and three Titan cards will work. The GTX 750 and 750 Ti cards are all Maxwell based with one exception, the 750 Ti OEM. Avoid the OEM 750 Ti as well.

High Sierra 10.13.6 will give you the option to use 10 series Pascal cards if you install the Nvidia Web drivers.

These include: GT 1030, GTX 1050, 1060, 1070, 1080 and the related Ti versions.
These Maxwell based cards can also benefit from the web drivers: GTX 750, 970, 980 and Ti versions.

Nvidia Graphics Cards that still work with macOS ​

This question gets asked over and over here in Desktop Compatibility and in Buying Advice.

Q: Can I use a (fill in the blank) Nvidia graphics card with macOS Mojave, Catalina or Big Sur ?

A: That depends on which generation and series it is from.

If it is Kepler first or second gen based, manufactured from approximately 2012 to 2014, it’s likely to work with Mojave, Catalina and Big Sur. The drivers are included in macOS.

Nvidia Chip Codes for successive Graphics Microarchitectures:

GF = Fermi — 2010
GK = Kepler -2012
GM = Maxwell — 2014
GP = Pascal — 2016

The microarchitecture defines a GPU’s building blocks, how they’re connected, and how they work. For easy reference, Nvidia names them after famous scientists such as Enrico Fermi and Johannes Kepler.

Johannes Kepler Astronomer and Mathematician

The GK107 core is commonly used in the supported Quadro cards like the NVS 510. See full list below.

Q: How can I determine whether my Nvidia card is Kepler based and not Fermi or something else ?

A: You can look up the specs on the techpowerup.com website

http://www.gpuzoo.com/ is also a great place to research specific cards.

Q: Why does Apple still support these older Kepler based GPUs after switching to AMD ?

A: Apple used similar Nvidia graphics processors in 2013 Macbook Airs and Macbook Pros

Some of those MBAs and MBPs from 2012/13 still have support in Mojave, Catalina and Big Sur. For some unknown reason, Apple didn’t give the 14,1 14,2 and 14,3 iMacs from 2013, Big Sur support. They are perfectly capable of running Big Sur. If you are using a Haswell i3, i5 or i7 CPU in your hackintosh and want to install Big Sur, then use the iMac 15,1 SMBIOS. That has retained support in Big Sur.

If any Mac is still supported then the GPU in that Mac has to retain support as well. A prime example is the Late 2013 MacBook Pro which has a GK107 based GPU. The GT 750M. Support was maintained in Big Sur for that laptop.

If the Nvidia card is Maxwell (745/750/Ti or second gen Maxwell 900 series), Pascal, Turing or Ampere based, there are no Mojave or Catalina drivers that you can use to make it work. For example, the newest RTX cards from Nvidia are unsupported in Mojave. The RTX 2060/70 and all related 16 series GTX cards will not work in any version of macOS as there are no web drivers. I have included the Maxwell Quadro workstation cards in the unsupported list. There are also newer Pascal Quadro cards that are not listed. If it is not a Kepler based Quadro card it won’t have native support.

Q: How long will these older Kepler based cards still be supported by macOS ?

A: Big Sur does officially support 1st gen (700 series) Kepler cards but not the 600 series. There are no Macs with Nvidia 600 series Kepler mobile GPUs that still have support. 600 series Nvidia Kepler cards may still work with Big Sur but are not recommended for long term use. Many report frequent graphics glitching. These are the GT 630, 640, 650, 660.. cards with GK106. Better to use 2nd gen Kepler 700 series cards or upgrade to a newer supported AMD card.

Q: Some cards in the supported list have Fermi variants. How do I determine whether my Nvidia card is Kepler based (GK) and not an unsupported Fermi (GF) card ? ( GT 630, 640 and 730 cards can be from either series )

A: It’s really important to determine that your graphics card from Nvidia is not Fermi based

Starting back in 2011, the Fermi series of cards caused major problems in hackintoshes. They suffered from regular freeze ups due to faulty drivers. Apple support ended with High Sierra. So if you are buying a GT 630/640 or GT 730 Check to make sure it’s not Fermi based. Read about all of the issues with Fermi cards and hackintoshes here.

Go to this website http://www.gpuzoo.com/ and enter the make and model of your card. Make sure it is GK104, GK107, GK110 or GK208 and not GF which means it’s an unsupported Fermi card.

This Thread is Open for General Comments only

Not a support thread — Post in the Graphics Forum for Help/Support

Graphics

The primary advice for new CustoMac builders is to use AMD cards that are natively supported by macOS. Graphics cards like the RX 570/580 or RX Vega 56/64 by AMD. Newer AMD 5000 series cards such as the RX 5700 XT only have support in Catalina or Big Sur and not Mojave. It appears that Apple will not add Nvidia support in the forseeable future.

AMD Polaris 20/21 cards should have continued support many years into the 2020s. Those are your safest bet. Full Metal 2 API Support, Vulkan and DX12.

For a more detailed exploration of Mojave/Catalina compatible AMD graphics cards please see:

Radeon Compatibility Guide — ATI/AMD Graphics Cards

Q: I would like to run an older version of OS X/macOS. How far back does support go for Kepler cards ?

A: Initial Support for Nvidia Kepler cards began with the release of Mac OS X Mountain Lion in 2012.

Q: I can’t afford an Nvidia or AMD card now. Can I use just my Intel CPU’s integrated graphics ?

A: Maybe. If you want to install Mojave/Catalina this depends on how new your Intel CPU is. For Big Sur you must also use a supported SMBIOS. Mac Pro 6,1 iMac 14,4 or 15,1 are a few of the oldest ones that work with Big Sur.

If your CPU is from 2011 or older (HD3000/Sandy Bridge), the iGPU will not have metal 2 support and not work with full QE/CI acceleration in Mojave/Catalina.

Ivy Bridge CPUs that have HD4000 are the cutoff point for the oldest supported Intel integrated graphics. The i7-3770 and i5-3570K are two examples of HD4000 CPUs. HD2500 CPUs (such as the i5-3470) do not have fully supported graphics.

Q. Which integrated graphics from Intel will still work in macOS Big Sur ?

A. Haswell CPUs with HD4600 graphics will work with iMac 15,1 SMBIOS and the correct ig-platform-ID. Surprisingly, HD4000 still works in Big Sur as well. Most newer desktop CPUs will have supported Intel graphics. Examples are HD5000, HD530, HD630, UHD630 etc.

Here’s a compilation of a few online articles about Nvidia support in Macs. It explains why Apple and Nvidia have parted ways for the foreseeable future.

The Nvidia/Apple relationship has been crumbling for over a decade

There was a bit of confusion when Apple announced the latest 2019 Mac Pro, as it eschewed super powerful Nvidia GPUs with hardware-accelerated ray tracing support to embrace AMD’s hardware.

The Nvidia/Apple relationship has been crumbling for over a decade. A little more than ten years ago Apple and Nvidia lost a whole lot of money due to a series of failed GPUs in the MacBook Pro line up. It went so poorly that Apple started to rely on AMD for its GPUs despite Nvidia’s popularity and typically better performance.

In 2008, Apple’s MacBook Pro shipped with Nvidia graphics chips that revolutionized the MacBook by taking over the functions of the Northbridge and Southbridge controllers alongside actual graphics rendering. Because of it, Intel filed a lawsuit against Nvidia, making things a bit complicated for Apple.

In 2016, Apple said no to putting Nvidia processors in the 15-inch MacBook Pro and instead went with AMD, Apple publicly stated they did so because of performance per watt issues.

But despite the reliance on AMD hardware macOS still included support for Nvidia GPUs. If you wanted to cram a Nvidia card into your older Mac Pro or rely on it for your hackintosh, then Apple and Nvidia had you covered. Until last year, when Apple stopped supporting CUDA with the release of macOS 10.14 Mojave. That forced apps that relied on CUDA for hardware acceleration, like Adobe’s suite of software, to issue warnings and reminders to customers.

Nvidia ending support after CUDA 10.2 is really more tit for tat than any kind of major statement. Yet it does leave some people, like the aforementioned hackintosh users, in the lurch. It also means that it’s now going to make Apple devices a lot less appealing to some high-end developers and animation professionals.
