And then there’s this…
Just did a little more digging on this, I think it might be a fake. If this was true Nvida would have shown this to us or it would have been all over the web.
Everybody calm down. This thread seems going to be one of the top thread of nVidia dev :3
Those who are nVidia user needs to update to Mojave, you can do following like me.
remove nVidia card and use your intel hd graphics with hardware acceleration xD I did this
Note that: It’s Hackintosh :)
Config: i7 8700K, Aorus Z370 Gaming 3, Evo 850
i am waiting now!
All of the more recent iMacs (Late 2015 to most current models, maybe earlier too but I’m not sure) have IGPU enabled even when discrete GPUs are included. The IGPU assists with things like AirPlay video, Quick Sync, HEVC. The amount of RAM used is quite insignificant and doesn’t affect dual channel operation.
Of course, the Mac Pros use CPUs that do not have IGPU.

Even if it were real, just because the firmware has Mac compatible EFI does not mean there will be any acceleration in macOS. Mac compatible EFI simply provides an image during the boot process. Proper macOS drivers are still needed for the card to provide any acceleration.
I do have dedicated graphics card, I just couldn’t wait for the driver. So I unplugged the card and installing like this way. Primarily I use hackintosh[moreover PC] for coding, so don’t need much GPU performance theoretically.
Somehow my nvidia (dedicated) card sucked in SIMULATOR performance[mojave], even though I injected old nVidia driver properly. So, for now just using Intel UHD 630, which is completely fine to run my work [xcode, simulator, slight photoshop]
#peace <3
Forcing the old Nvidia web drivers to install in Mojave is not a viable solution. The old drivers will not provide any sort of acceleration. It’s the same as what I stated above about RTX 2080 having Mac EFI compatible firmware. Without proper drivers, it’s useless.
Yes, that’s me.
I highly doubt there will be any acceleration with the RTX 2080 in macOS.
If you are on a Mac Pro, at least you will be able to verify whether it has Mac compatible EFI firmware… If it does, you should be able to boot in to macOS, but there will probably be no acceleration at all and everything will be like a slideshow.
It all goes back to the need for drivers…
Webdrivers haven’t been updated on macOS since the release of RTX cards. So, no support.
So I did a few things last night… pulled the Nvida card and installed the Vega FE. Renders went smoother and faster then the Titan X. I’m not going to sell the card just yet as I’m hoping we get a good driver. If one comes out I’ll sell both cards and get the best card I can afford from Nvida.
Any ETA nVidia?
@shawn.tavassoli, can you be more specific about what it means when you say renders went “smoother and faster”? And on what machine? Thx!
I’d like to know that too. Renders in what software?
Is it the Titan X pascal?
So I migrated all my machines to Mojave save one, where I keep 1 Nvidia card mainly out of curiosity.
For the other ones I gave up on Nvidia cards and the reasoning is simple.
I love Mojave, and I was looking forward to it. The Dark Mode is very useful especially that we work with Photography retouching as well as video editing.
Several apps we use received upgrades and AMD’s cards are behaving very nice under 10.14
Once again, not that I don’t like Nvidia’s HW because I do - it’s great, but it is as great as the drivers for them.
And unfortunately Nvidia is way behind on OS X.
There is absolutely no way that I believe anything will be released from them until next year.
CUDA was a nice thing to have but for my use cases with the green team’s focus on Mac - it’s just extremely unsatisfying.
When I pay $$$ I look at the overall experience long term. If one product gives me headaches and has horrible support, it’s not just worth it unless the technology ties you to it and it’s the only option.
At this stage, reading through all the comments, CUDA programmers should be fine for some time on HS, other businesses will change to AMD and stop complaining (mainly because AMD is cheaper and works OOB).
For private usage, Nidia is a REAL PAIN and I am sure of that just as sure as the fact that they simply don’t care about you private users.
No need to get too angry, this model they use to operate generates money and all companies this size are about stakeholders and quarterly targets. Mac users are not a big slice on the Pie Chart and the market is not yet there.
My specs are:
OS X 10.13.6
Mac Pro 5.1
2x x5690 @3.46ghz
64Gb ECC ram
Programs used:
FCP X 10.4.3
Avid MC Ultamit 2018.8
Resolve 14 and 15
Mocha Pro 5.5
And the entire Adobe creative cloud applications
Media being used: all 4K
Red 5:1 rd3 raw files
ProRes 422 HQ
Sony XAVC h264 files form A7s and A7s2 cameras
Tiff files
And a few random web pulls form youtube.
Time line settings:
ProRes422 HQ 4K @23.98 TRT 01:30:15 - 1hr 30 min 15 frames
renders are set to a SAS raid on the same computer.
With the Titan X maxwel I was getting render errors constantly in 10.13.x. It didn’t matter what drivers, I would just crash or have bad renders. I would also get stuttering when trying to move my timeline in FCPX and Premier Pro. It always felt like the system was fighting me and didn’t want to work properly. This was never the problem before 10.13 and I compleatly blame myself for updating without a backup of 10.12.6.
With the Vega FE (i have only had it for a night) I did not have any of the same problems. The card just worked. I did have to give it more power because as soon as I started to stress the card the system tripped and shut down. Once that was fixed there was no more problems with power.
Rendering with the FE in FCP X went smoother and finished a little faster then the Titan X. Not a big improvement but ther was no crash and no glitches that I have seen in the video yet. I also tested out Resolve 15 this morning at I did notice my red files where playing back at a much slower speed. They could not reach 23.98 FPS. They where only hitting 16 - 19 fps… This is a big hit and can not happen. I will need to investigate this and see where it gos. Could just be a OpenCL thing or something elce. Could also be because I’m not on a clean install after the switch.
As for benchmarks I did LuxMark 3.1
GTX Titan X maxwell: 17075 GPU 24 @1190Mhz
Vega FE: 24473 GPU 64 @1600 Mhz
LOL
LOL !!
People are still waiting for Mojave web driver ?
Are you naive ?
No Web Drivers for Mojave ; I got this news from inside Apple two weeks ago
Sorry for my weak English
Don’t wait and lose your time ; High Sierra is not that bad
Thank you
High Sierra is one of the worst OS updates apple has done. Poorly tested before it was released. They still have bugs in 10.13.6.
10.12.6 is the money spot right now.
It sure would be nice if people would move all this extraneous conversation about other video cards and configurations and such to a separate thread; those of us that are subscribed to this thread are only doing so because an Nvidia representative said he would post updates about the Mojave drivers on this thread.
Anything you have to say about your opinions of AMD vs Nvidia, Team Red vs. Team Blue vs Team Fuscia, alleged inside rumors from your special secret insider sources that you know through your cousin’s uncle’s brother-in-law, Apple and how oppressive they are, Nvidia as a company, Intel, hackintosh, RTX 580, RZX 2 million, Sierra, High Sierra, politics, pricing, et al, is just absolutely useless for those of us who are married to CUDA and would like to also enjoy Mohave; it’s mostly just a nine pages of noise that none of us need to see.
If you’re not from Nvidia, any further comment on this thread is pointless, aggravating, and without any value to most of us. If you have something valuable to say about any of the above subjects that are not related directly to verifiable information about Nvidia drivers for macOS Mojave, ferkrissakes, Take it to another thread, please. Please. Please.
Thank you.
