Does it mean, NVIDIA is currently not working on a driver ?
nvidia is not working in the webdriver, in the end we are forced to those who work with Mac to get an AMD but I will not give the taste to apple, as nothing … installing Windows for my misfortune
Guys. There is a lot of miss-understanding here I am sure of it, as well as NVidia not making proper statements.
1 - I think the Nvidia developer stated that the Mac Machines which came by default with NVidia cards, those have support in Mojave - since Apple developed the drivers for them. However, they have received reports about slowness and several problems and the NVidia representative was stating that too bad Apple doesn’t work with them to allow them to make the drivers. (This is my understanding)
2 - NVidia doesn’t seem to understand the concerns of users and gives partial answers to questions like:
- Will there be Mojave WebDrivers? (Nvidia stated they are working on those)
- Will there be support for CUDA (Nvidia said they are working with Apple)
- and the pain question - Do you have any ETA?
The lack of answers to the last question may have different reasons which I will not speculate now.
Unless Apple has a surprise on the 30th of October by announcing some new machines that have NVidia cards in them, there will be a long time till these drivers get release. Who’s fault is it???.. - it matters not at this point anymore.
Currently, you have the options to:
- wait and see
- switch to AMD
Don’t panic, don’t stress - it seems that it doesn’t help in getting anything moving further or getting any additional information.
I am polite not rude ; always I am polite with people
I take it easy ; I have High sierra working ; Windows with nividia 8 GB Desktop ;
I have no problems
It’s not a matter of politeness, it’s this willingness to want to be right, to treat naive those who wait for Webdriver and to be satisfied every time something goes in his direction that is unbearable.

You are right ; next time I will try to be more aggressive .
I hope you accept my apologize ; all are my mistake
Have a good day

Stop it, some people reacts for simple things, just leave that. :)
Tell that to all my clients and the thousands of people needing to switch up to Mojave soon (for various reasons) and having invested thousands in Nvidia are faced with a delay with no ETA or an additional cost of going to AMD GPUs and of course the slow-down and/or power consumption increase that entails!!!
Sorry but if you are a casual user with no work deadline perhaps refrain from telling people to be patient or calm.
There is a big issue with companies being blasé - we don’t need people to say that’s ok - it really isn’t - if I was to tell a client that asked an ETA “you’ll get it when it’s done” I wouldn’t have many clients left!
I fully understand the Mac user base is not the priority for Nvidia as the PC market is vast - but we are a huge number (not just hundreds but many thousands) so they should take Mac development far more seriously and communicate better with us, so that we understand the delays instead of feeding us carefully politically worded but hollow rhetoric.

More agressive next time ? I can’t wait for this ! ^^
I check this post every mourning when i wake up from 24th september , searching everywhere about some news of Mojave Webdriver , but there is no hope , Apple deletes every post there about - Webdriver for mojave.
This Guys ( From Nvidia) are locked by Apple. Mojave Has great fixes about mutch things , im sorry for one thing - to working 3 months to buy Gtx 1060 and in the end - not supported (sorry for my english )
Just to be clear here, Apple did make Web Drivers for the Mac OS, but nVidia also made Web Drivers. I could choose between the two. So nVidia ALSO makes Web Drivers. The fact that Apple has stopped making them for nVidia as a part of the Mac OS is also false. Otherwise my MacBook Pro with a nVidia 650m chip would not work.
What Apple DID was remove CUDA support. Since CUDA support is key for nVidia’s chips to perform they way they do in the real world, it’s very important that nVidia find a way to get CUDA to work with Metal. That might not be an easy task and for Apple to pretty much spring it on nVidia only after Mojave was announced, not released, seems rather petty really, but nVidia started the feud with the 800 lb. gorilla and it’s left it’s users in a lurch.
Right now I blame both parties in this fight and this situation. Both are forgetting that their customers are paying the price. That’s unacceptable.
I think people are missing the important part of Thomas’s comment:
“Apple fully controls drivers for Mac OS. But if Apple allows, our engineers are ready and eager to help Apple deliver great drivers for Mac OS 10.14 (Mojave)”
This would mean that it’s Apple shutting Nvidia out.
Steve Jobs, come back!..
He made Apple to be not just hardware&software business, but a whole culture. Such was the vision.
Today, Apple, what a hell is that? First, you messed up iTunes, by turning it into a quest-game. Then you almost spoiled iOS… Next you made extremely expensive computers, which have keyboard problems and dont even have USB ports. Here you dump genial MagSafe connector as well… After that you returned to 90s style naming iphone product line like RS/X/XS/XS Max and other stuff like that…
Now a big mistake to stimulate sales of your new more and more expensive machines in order to restrict access to that BIG culture.
Millions of people work on hackintoshes, and Yes, they do not buy expensive imacs for 17k dollars, but what they are doing - is VALUES, that makes money for you.
Well here’s the problem I had with that statement. Apple stoped making or working with Nvida awhile ago. Yes the controlled the development of any driver. But as far as I know the web driver program was not done with Apple at all. It’s not impossible for Nvida to still make the drivers for us. You can install unsigned drives. And that is an option for Nvida.
So for there engineers to be on stand by waiting for the green light is BS. This is like Ross and Rachel all over, will they won’t they. I personally could not wait and had to make the move to another brand card. And to be honest I’m not seeing a big differences with proformace. Granted I came from a titan x maxwell, but that was and still is a beast of a card. Just not in OSX anymore. As soon as apple went to medal 2 api the card ran like crap and never recovered. I’m rambeling now, whatever I have moved on and it’s not a problem for me anymore. Hope there are some drivers for the rest of you. Look forward to seeing how this plays out.
Need these drivers ASAP.
@ ThomasK@Nvidia : Everyone just wants some detailed information as to the progression of the web drivers for macOS 10.14 .
Your comment is welcomed however, we would prefer a more detailed explanation as to what is going on with the production and release of these web drivers. Saying you don’t know the release date and then saying “If Apple would work with you, you would do it,” only adds more speculation and leaves us all in limbo.
Yes i agree. I actually need to Mojave because i have a photography business and have multiple Nvidia GPU’s running in a small render farm as well. macOS 10.14 Mojave new photography support really makes sense for my business. Therefore I definitely need these drivers as well my friend.
buy a real mac ?
People will eventually side with either Apple or Nvidia.
Those that just don’t want to switch to Windows will get AMD cards…
… those that just don’t want to get AMD cards will switch to Windows.
End of story. :P
@golephish I have a real Mac. Namely my old trustworthy Mac Pro 5.1 that received an upgrade in the form of a Titan X card a few years ago. It has been working flawlessly with the Nvidia web drivers ever since, but now I cannot upgrade to 10.14.
This is not a Hackintosh problem.
