nVidia Divers support macOS Catalina ? #36
Comments
wyatt-wong commented Jan 28, 2020
Does this nVidia Drivers support macOS Catalina ? I got the following errors when I download and install the drivers.
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
algol68 commented Mar 15, 2020
1 — disable SIP
restart in recovery mode
type csrutil disable
2 — disable Gatekeeper
back in ‘normal’ mode open Terminal and type sudo spctl —master-disable
3 — remount file system (enable write mode of system volume)
sudo mount -uw /
4 — force Finder process to restart
killall Finder
you should be able to install nvidia drivers now 😉

This works, can probably close this issue now. Thanks!!
Benjamin-Dobell commented Mar 26, 2020
Just to clarify, nVidia’s drivers do not work on Catalina (or Mojave for that matter).
Yes, they’ll install, and that may allow you to set some different screen resolutions, however macOS will not be hardware accelerated.
There’s been a lot of coverage on this issue, so a quick Google will explain what’s going on. It’s for Apple and nVidia to sort out; which they likely won’t.
algol68 commented Mar 27, 2020
agreed. workaround gets you past installation errors however drivers really don’t perform as they should. @Benjamin-Dobell, i think noting this on the project homepage will be helpful (don’t upgrade past High Sierra)
MotorCityCobra commented Jul 24, 2020
@Benjamin-Dobell
Do you think there is any hope for Big Sur?
23d1 commented Jul 24, 2020
There is ZERO hope for Big Sur or any iteration of Apple Software when it comes to Nvidia. It’s ridiculous, but it is what it is. Redshift is coming to Apple Metal. Octane X is already out. And so on and so forth.
MotorCityCobra commented Jul 24, 2020
@23d1
The latest I can go with the @Benjamin-Dobell ‘s drivers is High Sierra?

Pimped a MacPro 3,1 with a nvidia 980Ti (6GB VRAM) and macOS Catalina. Connected it to the Samsung C49HGx 32:9 4K Monitor and got it to work like this:
Connected the Monitor with HDMI and 1920×1080@144Hz
Used the tipps from @algol68 (disable SIP, disable Gatekeeper, remounted root with -uw. )
Ran Benjamins script to install the nvidia drivers.
Important: after reboot, set the screen refresh rate to 60Hz, so higher resolutions are available.
Installed the Resolution Helper Tool SwitchResX and defined a 3840×1080@60Hz resolution.
Activated the resolution and voilà! Got it running.
Update:
If you create a custom resolution 3840×1080@100Hz this will also work. If your screen turns black after login, here is a fix:
- Activate screensharing BEFORE you switch the appscreen resolution
- connect by ssh from another host and become root
- delete the nvram variable nvda_drv, which is set to 1%00
- reboot your MacPro
Acceleration in macOS is not so important for me, I need the widescreen resolution for working — for gaming I reboot my MacPro 3,1 to Windows 10 Pro 20H2.

Nouveau VIDEO 1 et 2
NOTE: la seule chose négative que je puisse dire à propos des cartes AMD / ATI est qu’en enregistrant un écran vidéo, le système devient lent et difficile à utiliser mais toujours utilisable. Avec la GeForce et la HD 3000 je n’ai pas ce genre de problème et pour ma part je pense que la HD 3000 est la plus fluide et la plus rapide des trois cartes graphiques
En conclusion, après avoir eu le temps de faire quelques tests, je conclus que les cartes AMD / ATI fonctionnent à près de 60% de leur pleine capacité donc le QE / CI complet n’est pas appliqué avec ce patch. Intel HD 3000 et Old GeForce fonctionnent très bien

High Sierra Nvidia WebDriver Loaded on Catalina Beta (No Acceleration)
rayrayronald
I have to say I am a complete noob so this is more likely a fluke.
I will try to include as many details as possible so the community can replicate.
I suspected this method would work on Mojave as well (not yet tried)
So I was installing mackintosh the first time today, started with High Sierra and the NVIDIA Drivers, huge success.
I wanna get Catalina since the apple apps aren’t backward compatible (e.g. notes, reminders), but I read about the lack of Catalina GTX 1080 support and I decided to use the iGPU until the driver comes.
I first edited the .config file, then set the MOBO to IGFX (with multiple monitor support). iGPU worked but there were glitches here and there so I did some finetuning.
Meanwhile I came across this post (problem 5) and changed it to my Mojave build number anyway.
The GTX1080 was still attached to the MOBO and I thought what if I connect one of the monitors to it? (I have two) AND IT WORKED.
System Report shows 2 GPU simultaneously (iGPU and dGPU). For some reason using launchpad will log me out, I suspect the cache limi on the iGPU so I plugged both monitors to the GTX1080 and it works perfectly (system preferences shows 3 monitors connected, which was weird)
I rebooted the device (both monitors on GTX) and as expected, it did not work, since MOBO was set to IGFX. Rebooting into BIOS and changing setting solved the problem.
Setup:
6700K
Asus Maximus Ranger VIII
GTX1080

Download Install & Configure Nvidia Web Driver for Mac
Nvidia Mac driver is an additional macOS driver provided by Nvidia itself instead of Apple. Apple packs macOS with its own GPU Kexts, but when Nvidia web driver is installed, Apple’s native GPU Kexts becomes inactive.
Nvidia web-driver is required to make Maxwell, and latest Graphics cards work in macOS
Here are some nVidia GeForce Graphics cards which needs Webdriver to function properly in macOS
- GTX 750
- GTX 780
- GTX 950
- GTX 970
- GeForce GTX 980
- GTX 1070
- GTX 1080 GTX TITAN
- Titan X
You can download nVidia Web-driver from this page or Install with Automatic Nvidia web driver Installer.
How to enable Nvidia Web Driver
Clover Bootloader
- Mount EFI Partition / If you have installed legacy Clover look into /EFI folder for config.plist
- Open /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/config.plist with text edit, Xcode, or Plist Editor Pro
- Edit Config.plist to resemble the changes below this works for Sierra 10.12.3 or above versions
However, for older system nvda_drv=1 is required still web driver installer inject nvda_drv=1 to NVRAM
Chameleon Bootloader
- Open /Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist with text edit, Xcode, or Plist Editor Pro.
- Edit Config.plist to resemble the changes below.
This is enough to get nVidia web-driver working in macOS.
Troubleshooting
Monitor goes to sleep at the end of the boot sequence when using iMac15,1 or iMac17,1 or MacPro 6,1 system definition
Fix: modify the AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy.kext as pointed out by PikeRAlpha here. We have two options, using Clover’s built-in kext patching (preferred) or manually editing the kext. Using Clover to patch the kext on the fly is preferred because it does not get overwritten after each OS X update. If you do it manually, you will have to make the edits after each update.
Method 1: The easy method
Install these two kext Lilu.kext and WhateverGreen.kext into your Library/Extensions folder.
NOTE: This method does not work with macOS Sierra 10.12, please use method 1 or 2 above.
