My guess is it would be possible to get Asahi Linux to interface with a card, but it would likely run into similar quirks that we hit on other Arm platforms (like AMD driver issues with cache coherence on Ampere).
- 111111IIIIIII 3y agoI wonder how powering it would work? It would need a separate PSU.
- pram 3y agoIIRC the actual limitation was the M1 only allows mapping PCIE as Device-nGnRE and that precludes eGPU/video cards. Using Linux doesn’t change this behavior.
- lloeki 3y ago> mapping PCIE as Device-nGnRE Disclaimer: completely unaware of what that means. Does it preclude such a card working _at all_ or can it still be used e.g for e.g CUDA? Would it be possible for e.g Nvidia to create a special batch of cards or design that would work for such cases? (priced through the roof given the small user base but that'd also be the kind of user base who would drop stupid amounts of money without batting an eye)
- pram 3y agoConsidering nVidia has the Grace CPU and probably a significant investment in arm64 development, I'd say yes absolutely. If anyone could do it it's them. Of course theres probably a better chance of Atlantis rising from the sea.
