I think it took almost a year for Pascal support to be added to the Nvidia web drivers. I did not think Pascal was ever going to be supported and only picked up a GTX 1080 when support for it in the Nvidia web drivers was confirmed. Even then, I experienced lots of lag with the GTX 1080 in High Sierra.
It’s foolish to buy random hardware and hope that driver support will come in the future. Would you ever buy a Ryzen based computer with the hopes that Apple will add support for it in the future?
I’ve already made the switch to an AMD Vega and, I have to tell you, everything has been much smoother in macOS than it ever was with my GTX 1080. I know that on paper, the GTX 1080 should be better in every way, but in reality, the AMD card just works a whole lot better than the GTX 1080 in macOS.
You are using a Fermi card which, as far as I know, still has support so your experience is not indicative of what Maxwell, Pascal, and Turing users will experience in Mojave.
Yeah, you’re right. If only there’ll be an option for Kepler ++ to turning off Metal and force using OpenGL with Nvidia WebDriver on the future, but I think it won’t.
I don’t think that disabling Metal is a viable solution. Even Finder uses Metal. I would expect the full on slideshow experience if Metal is disabled. If you’ve ever used a Maxwell card in macOS on a Mac Pro without the Nvidia web drivers, you know what I mean by the “slideshow experience”.
All I wanted was to get notified when a driver was released for Mojave. I don’t need Mojave, but I’d like to upgrade when the drivers are available.
Unfortunately, by subscribing to this thread, I get countless e-mails every day that I have to weed through. It’s taking more time to weed through all of this chatter than it would be to just check the drivers page every few days.
Buddy I don’t think you know the concept of a forum. It’s for people who want to discuss there shared topic. You don’t own this thread or get to tell any of us to stop. Sorry not sorry, I’m just sick of hearing about your email inbox.
shawn.tavassoli is correct !! Open forum for open expression. I created this forum and though it pertains to a simple question regarding the release of Nvidia web drivers for macOS Mojave, this is a free and open forum. There are many people who are upset. This is understandable. Regardless if the Nvidia consumer buys the cards for EGPU, Hackintosh or whatever have you, the fact remains that the Nvidia consumer buys Nvidia cards. Therefore as the Nvidia consumer who spends our hard earned money on Nvidia products, we without a shadow of a doubt reserve the right to express our concern and “dissapointment”, regarding the driver situation. There are far more Nvidia GPU owners than AMD. There are many different types of Nvidia consumers. Out of all Nvidia consumers, some choose to express themselves differently then others. Some deal with stress differently then others. Or do you expect people to be relaxed and calm on Black Friday? Never happens. Just not the nature of man. https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1042520/driver/-when-will-the-nvidia-web-drivers-be-released-for-macos-mojave-10-14-/20#reply

The rest of you keep on keeping on :P
Exactly shawn.tavassol. This is our forum to voice our stress, an I’m stressed, as I have a 1080TI and upgrade to Mojave!
This so called Oleg of russian NVidia support seems to be totally out of clue and the situation of the macOS support at NVidia.
This is totally false to say: “we just cannot release drivers for this system, Apple’s drivers for it are always made by Apple itself, all the source code is available to us.”
Particularly for the GTX 1060 the so called Eugene ask about, as there were never and will never be any Apple’s drivers for the GTX 1060, not for macOS 10.14, not for macOS 10.13 or earlier.
Indeed, the use of the GTX 1060 has always required to use NVidia’s Web drivers which are not at all made by Apple, but 100% by NVidia themselves.
This simple fact just make the Oleg answer totally irrelevant and invalid. It’s indeed direct, and the so called Olaf was probably honest in his answer.
Yes but that quote would only be relevant if the so called Oleg had any clue on what he’s talking about. Which he showed he hasn’t in his “detailed answer” afterward (which is not suprising for a “Customer service” representative).
Even so it’s perfectly right to say: “NVidia is not going to release a macOS Mojave driver in the near future”.
As it’ll most certainly take months for NVidia to add support for Metal 2 and RTX 20xx cards on the NVidia’s web drivers. And from what I read from US NVidia representatives on this forum, they won’t release new web drivers until they can both offer support for Mojave (so Metal 2) and RTX 20xx cards, and also a compatible CUDA Driver alonside the new Web driver release.
So if you are not ready to wait for months for Mojave compatible NVidia’s web drivers, either downgrade to High Sierra or get an AMD card instead, these are the only option you have for next few months.
@pastrychef
I have read this and i have looked into it and your claims are false and this Oleg is not an Official Nvidia employee. Rather this is propaganda and is fabricated as it is fake.
