The beauty of the modular Mac Pro up until 2012 is that you were able to swap out the graphics cards to keep the Mac Pro up-to-date with the latest graphics rendering technology and performance, but those who opted for Nvidia cards are stuck with old macOS software, and that can be infuriating. On Monday Nvidia published the release notes for the next update of its CUDA platform and noted that “CUDA 10.2 (Toolkit and NVIDIA driver) is the last release to support macOS for developing and running CUDA applications.” That means all future versions of CUDA will lack support for Apple devices, which could leave a decent share of the pro community, as well as the hackintosh community, without support for the most popular discrete GPUs being made at the moment. The last vestiges of Nvidia and Apple’s long-term relationship are ending shortly. Unfortunately, NVIDIA currently cannot release a driver unless it is approved by Apple. The only two Nvidia cards that work with Mojave are the GeForce GTX 680, and the Quadro K5000 - both several years old at this point… Apple fully controls drivers for Mac OS. Apple just doesn’t allow modern Nvidia GPUs on macOS Mojave, and this is a dramatic change from only six months ago… There aren’t any functional drivers for Mojave at all.
