Gtx 1070 mac os catalina

# Nvidia GPUs

# Native nVidia GPUs

# Kepler Series (GTX 6xx, 7xx)

# Highest Supported OS: Current/Big Sur(11)

# Initial Supported OS: Mountain Lion(10.8)

Currently the only 100% native Nvidia architecture that works with macOS 11, Big Sur. Users have reported issues with the GTX 650Ti, 660, 660ti but this is caused by a driver issue on Apple’s end by not supporting the GK106 core(or quite poorly as the issue seems to be memory leakage which also affects real Macs). Another issue with this generation is lower end products marketed as first generation Kepler are actually using a Fermi core but have identical counterparts running Kepler cores as well(GF 116 vs GK 107 found in the GT 640). AND PLEASE NOTICE THAT GTX 745, 750 and ti VARIANTS ARE NOT INCLUDED, THEY’RE NOT KEPLER

Also keep in mind that the following systems have a Kepler GPU meaning that support will likely stay until all pre-Skylake hardware is dropped(so anything without USB-C):

# Kepler Series(GK 106 Variants)

GPUs running the GK 106 core have the unfortunate consequence of having a serious issue regarding VRAM leakage. This means that there’s a high chance of distortion and overall instability when running these GPUs which unfortunately have no real solution as even installing web drivers has no affect. A list of GPUs with this core can be found here

Second generation Kepler:

First generation Kepler:

# Fermi rebranded(GF108, GF117 and GF119)

# Highest Supported OS: High Sierra(10.13.6)

# Initial Supported OS: Lion(10.7)

Since nVidia can’t comply to any naming conventions, they decided to make some 600/700 series cards based on the older and incompatible Fermi architecture. These cards include:

• GT 730 (GF108 variant)
• GT 720A
• GT 710 (GF119 variant)

# Pascal Series (GTX 10xx)

# Highest Supported OS: High Sierra(10.13.6)

# Initial Supported OS: Sierra(10.12.4)

Well pretty sure most users know what going on with Pascal and Maxwell but I’ll just mention it quickly here. No support for these cards in Mojave/Catalina but macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 do support these cards with the combination of Nvidia’s somewhat shotty drivers and Lilu+WhateverGreen

• GTX 1080 Ti

# Maxwell Series (GTX 9xx, 745, 750/ti)

# Highest Supported OS: High Sierra(10.13.6)

# Initial Supported OS: Yosemite(10.10.x)

Same idea as Pascal, though the naming scheme is a bit odd as the GTX 745, 750 and 750ti are all Maxwell based even though they’re being marketed with the Kepler line so be wary when buying

• GTX Titan X(GM 200 Maxwell core)

> gtx1070 doesn’t work ->Catalina

lozibaldino

My configuration:
-msi m5 z170a
-intel i5 5500
-gtx1070

i finished to install Catalina but the resolution is locked to 1280×1024, i tried to unplug the gpu from the motherboard and plug the hdmi in the motherboard and work all

i also have two monitor and only one work but it’s less important

i’m new in the hackintosh world and i don’t now what to do, can someone help me please?

Sigh . this is old news which everyone should be aware of by now.

Ever since Apple implemented the Metal 2 graphics API in Mojave the only supported Nvidia GPU’s in MacOS are legacy Kepler based GPU’s which Apple shipped in some Mac’s several years ago.

Nvidia no longer officially support MacOS, so they will never release updated drivers with Metal 2 support.

If you want to stick with your GTX 1070 then you can only run MacOS High Sierra 10.13.6 which was the last version of MacOS that Nvidia released webdrivers for.

If you want to run Mojave or Catalina then you must either use the IGPU or replace GTX 1070 with AMD GPU.

Nope it is impossible .

The posts that claim that they got it working are totally false, some novice users think they can get it working by patching the drivers and effectively forcing them to load which can allow the use of an unsupported Nvidia GPU in MacOS Mojave and Catalina however all that is happening is that the GPU is falling back to the baked in VESA drivers within the VBIOS.

VESA drivers are normally only used during booting for displaying the BIOS/UEFI.

If a user forces a Nvidia GPU to run in VESA mode in MacOS there is no Hardware acceleration, No Metal 2 support, No Open CL/Open GL ..basically the performance is truly awful . any Intel IGPU will out perform a Nvidia GPU (even Titan or RTX) when it is run in VESA mode.

The bottom line is this . MacOS Mojave and Catalina are fully optimised to use Apples Metal 2 API, Nvidia has never updated its WebDrivers to support Metal 2 so it’s simply a dead end. Don’t waste your time searching for a solution that does not exist. Move on . switch to using the IGPU or get rid of the Nvidia GPU and buy a AMD one.

[Solved] How do I get my Nvidia GTX Geforce 1070 to work under OS X Sierra 10.12.4?

HanSoosLool

First of all I just wanted to say, that there could be a small language barrier because I´m german

There are many treads about this problem, where some people picked up a Pascal Nvidia graficscard and there is something

that doesn´t work probably.

So to give you an idea what parts I got for my Hackintosh, here is a list:

Mainboard: Asus Z170-A

Processor: i7 6700K Quad Core 4.00 GHz

GPU: Nvidia GTX Geforce 1070 Founders Edition

RAMM: TRidentz RGB G.Skill DDR4 2x8gbs

Wifi / PCI Modul: Fenvi FV-T919

Power supply: Corsair RM650x

Harddrive: 1x Samsung 850 EVO SSD 1TB, 1x Samsung 850 EVO SSD 500GB

CPU Cooler: Corsair H105 Hydroseries

So after I built the Hackintosh myself I started with installing Windows 10 via usb which I bought too.

After the setup was completed, I made sure everything works fine on the Windows (drive).

My goal which I wanted to achieve was to install both OS´s on the two SSD´s, seperatly.

So I picked up my USB 3.0 and installed Unibeast 7.1.1 on it and selected the UEFI Boot Mode and skip the next thing, where

the programm asks you to inject something for the Graphicscard, which is not necessary for my system because I got a 1000

Series one. So after Unibeast did it´s installation on my usb drive I pluged it into my new Hackintosh and loaded up the bios

settings. There I chose all the correct options which I was supposed to tick according to the installation guide of this website.

After I saved the settings an loaded up the bios once again, I chose the usb driver to boot from the next start up.

After I succesfully installed Mac OS X by following the instructions I came up with OS X Sierra on my Hackintosh so I was really

happy that this part of the installation was successful.

When I launched Multibeast I wasn´t quite sure if use the correct settings that are required for my personal hardware, so I just

searched the internet and found what I need to know but I was still confused if I picked the correct settings.

Anyway, after I installed Multibeast I wasn´t sure what to do next because I realised that the resolution was set to 1280×1024

while I quickly realised that all my hardware was listed except for the GPU. It says something that there is only 5 MB of VRamm

which is not quite what I expected. So i fixed this issue by reboot the system and before I booted up the Sierra drive I clicked on

preferences and Grapic settings an ticked the Inject Nvidia. .

That fixed that the computer recognizes the GPU by the full name but still it says only 5 MB.

So I downloaded the newsest version of the Nvidia Web Driver (378.05.05.05f02) and installed it. After the restart I navigated to

System preferences and Nvidia Driver Manager where I obviously ticked the Nvidia Web driver insstead of the os x driver.

But after the needed Restart it still says that the OS X Driver is selected and no matter what I did I was not able to fix this

problem yet. So I know that there are many methods to fix this problem. Mainly by changing the config.plist and changing the

NvidiaWeb from false to true. But even this didn´t work so I tried different programs like the classic EFI Mounter V3,

the Clover Configurator and the clover configurator v2. Nothing changed after I tried the several ways that should fix the problem.

There is obviously something I do wrong but I don´t know what it is + I´m not the guy who knows all about programming and

that stuff. in other words, I´m a total noob.

So if you guys undestood my problem and you think you could might help me with this than ( or then IDK ) pls reply.

I know that this whole thing about the Hackintosh got a huge community so I really hope that someone can fix this with me.

If you guys need any specific screenshots or whatever just ask. I didn´t know what you need to know so I thought I rather wait

for you guys to ask for them (sorry for the shity move)

Thank you guys. I hope to hear something soon
