If we’re being snarky “Apple Silicon” won’t work without a motherboard and power supply either.

- givinguflac 3y agoI get what you’re saying but I don’t think there was snark. Just the fact that a 4090 without a computer attached won’t work. It’s not like you can buy apple silicon without a Mac attached.
- jbverschoor 3y agoYou can just get a pci enclosure, and use the hardware.. Attaching it to a VM makes sense bc of drivers etc.
- washadjeffmad 3y agoeGPUs don't work with Apple Silicon Macs, only Intel. We ran into a lot of the limitations early on, and this is the only reason we still have 2018 Mac Minis and 2019 Mac Book Pros. https://support.apple.com/en-us/102363 https://support.apple.com/en-us/102363 Five years, and still no solution. And somehow they're spinning memory bandwidth as some sort of prescient act of Apple genius for AI. It's insulting.
- jbverschoor 3y agoHmm... you're right.. I tried searching for ANY support... but there's really nothing yet.
- washadjeffmad 3y agoYou can imagine our confusion and surprise when we got our first M1s and had to lose a few displays and our eGPUs. Apple made a strange choice with their hardware that effectively pushed our development to Linux and Windows. If Macs didn't make such nice front ends, they almost wouldn't have a place at all.
- numpad0 3y agoI think the line between the line in GP is people blindly believing into Apple marketing graphs is annoying; Apple Silicon GPU marketing comparisons against NVIDIA GPUs are made using laptop variants, which were at some point exact same silicon as desktop GPUs software limited to fit within laptop power/cooling brackets, but not in 30/40 generations.
