Nvidia Drivers for Mojave 10.14 Not Available, no WorkAround works well

[TravelerTechie]

Hello can you help me on what I would need to do to get iGPU, I have HD630 from my i7, to get it to work instead of my nVidia for teh time being, did you use some kexts? Thanks in advance.

All I needed is WhateverGreen and Lilu which I already had from my previous High Sierra. And of course setting the IGPU as my Initial Display in BIOS. HD630 works great.

Thank you, do you get OpenCL to work with your HD630, I need to get FCProX to work again?

I use Adobe Premiere Pro, but yes it works in both OpenCL and Metal when selected at making a new project. It’s a bit slower than the Nvidia when exporting, and when in playback after adding effects and color grading, but it works great nonetheless.

UPDATE : Nvidia has already released web drivers for Mojave long time ago but Apple is holding the release. Nvidia web drivers need signature from apple for release and Lord Apple can hold for months or forever as they did with high sierra web drivers. Apple is holding these web drivers updates so people are forced to buy Mac hardware instead of custom builts.

@vinaysingh1,

Thats a very bold statement to make when there is absolutely no evidence to back up your claims, ... unless you can present us some tangible proof I suggest you stop posting such claims, otherwise you will be considered a Troll.

UPDATE 2 : Don't get fooled by that AMD cards don't need drivers bcoz they have native macOS support. Truth is there is no such thing as Native Support, Apple was using a variety of AMD cards for a long time so most of the AMD card specific drivers come preinstalled within macOS itself and so does the nvidia drivers for specific cards that have ever been used in Mac Hardware.

You lack of understanding and knowledge in this area is clear from this statement, MacOS High Sierra and Mojave have optimised native drivers for 4XX,5XX and Vega series add on GPU's in addition to the GPU support for built-in GPU's used in Macs. Apple ships a Sapphire RX 580 based GPU with the eGPU SDK, admittedly sometimes it is necessary to patch the frame-buffer & connectors on some OEM AMD cards that have a poorly implemented video bios but the chipset's are Natively supported.

See the AMD compatibility thread for more information

Please reframe form posting miss information .. consider this a warning.

NVIDIA Series 7xx family is native support by macOS, it doesn't need web driver.

Not true. Not all GT 7xx cards have inbuilt drivers, only those that are Kepler based.

In future, they can legally force Nvidia and AMD to not release web drivers at all and kill Hackintosh all together bcoz it is gaining popularity and eating a good chunk of potential Mac market.

Where did you get this info from? The only thing that I've read is that Nvidia is still working on drivers and have no ETA.

I am currently running an AMD Vega 56 with no additional drivers, no WhateverGreen, no graphics injection in config.plist. That seems pretty native to me. The last Nvidia GPUs that got native support in macOS were the Kepler cards.

Nvidia source claimed that on GeForce Forum. Do you think Nvidia is fool to start working on Mojave only after release?

Nvidia source claimed that on GeForce Forum.

Please provide link ....

I am a member of the Nvidia developer forums .. i don't recall seeing any such post .. if this was true it would be public news and would have been covered by the many Apple technical news sites. such as Mac Rumours, OSX Daily, Mac World .. etc

The only post in the Nvidia forums which comes close is the apparent quote from a Russian representative who said 2 to 3 weeks, but as with so many of these rumours this was not an official post from Nvidia just a post from someone saying they heard it.

Sometimes people want to believe in something so much that they will believe anything ....
Until we see an official announcement from Nvidia I would not believe anything your read posted by non Nvidia sources.

Do you think Nvidia is fool to start working on Mojave only after release?

I'd like to think that Nvidia are working on new MacOS drivers for Mojave ... but I don't expect we'll see anything soon.
