When is Apple going to recognize that we want Nvidia GPUs? Come on Apple. People are literally buying outdated MacBook Pros to have a CUDA compatible GPU.

- pjmlp 9y agoIt won't matter, because the NVidia driver provided by Apple would only talk Metal Compute anyway. I don't see them doing otherwise.
- tvon 9y agoNVidia provides drivers, I'm using one on a Hackintosh now. http://www.nvidia.com/object/mac-driver-archive.html http://www.nvidia.com/object/mac-driver-archive.html
- pjmlp 9y agoThe golden question is if they would be allowed on an actual macOS image without hacks, Hackintoshes don't count.
- cbrewster 9y agoWhat? The page linked has drivers for macOS. They work on a hackintosh and on any regular Mac. Nvidia wouldn’t release official drivers that only work on a hackintosh.
- pjmlp 9y agoToday, the OP question was about a future Mac Pro.
- samcat116 9y agoThey're meant for the older Mac Pros that could still have normal Nvidia GPUs in them. They just happen to work perfectly fine in Hackintoshes.
- pjmlp 9y agoThat was my point, we are playing "what if" here regarding future Mac Pros. Given the move away from OpenGL/OpenCL into Metal, I don't have big hopes for future models.
- aiofgniaotnio 9y agoAgreed wholeheartedly. This is (allegedly) a workstation. I'm a big AMD and OpenCL fanboy, but at the moment CUDA the only game in town.
