- nottorp 10y agoIf they are, they're not telling. In theory the nvidia out-of-os x drivers are for people using their cards on the pre trashcan Mac Pros. In practice they allow you to make yourself a decent hackintosh desktop. Or used to. Maybe the 1xxx cards don't work on the old Mac Pros, in which case i don't think nvidia can justify continuing putting out those drivers. Who would this hurt? Apple. Very slowly though. Most people running hackintoshes are opinion leaders wrt to tech stuff, and when they switch to Linux or Windows, Apple will lose more mind share.
- throwaway2048 10y agoNo (recent) offical macs are capable of installing a nvidia PCI card
- nottorp 10y agoYeah but a good bunch of the pre-trashcan Mac Pros are still in service. And those do take PCI Express cards. Apparently NVidia felt it's a market worth serving, since you can still get Sierra drivers from them for anything before the 1xxx series. Okay, the drivers are labeled "for Quadro", but they support basically everything.
