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

[perchard]

You should check out Pasteychefs guide and try undervolting a bit. The 64 requires a min 750w power supply (recommended) so be careful abusing it.

Thank you - I will take a look - and undervolt or get a 750-850W PSU.

I think the Sapphire RX 580 Pulse is most popular. I don't know if it's necessarily "the best". This is the card I chose when putting together a build for a friend.

I have an MSI RX 560 low profile in my budget testing box. But it's not a single slot card. I think the most powerful single slot card you can get is the Radeon Pro WX 7100. If you need low profile AND single slot, there's the Radeon Pro WX 4100.

Thanks, but the Radeon Pro WX 4100 is too long and way too expensive

Nvidia has already released web drivers for Mojave long time ago but Apple is holding the release. Nvidia web drivers need signature from apple to 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.

That's some pretty wild, and very wrong, speculation.

Here's official Mojave-Metal-capable cards.

Have to agree that there is no way Apple could "hold back" Nvidia drivers. They wouldn't gain anything by doing that anyway. It can only force older Mac Pro owners (2010, 2012) or hackintoshers to purchase a new Metal 2 compatible graphics card instead of using a Nvidia Pascal or other Nvidia card that needs web drivers. If these people buy an AMD RX560 570 or 580 card for example, Apple doesn't make a dime on any of those sales.

Even if that insane story were true, no one can stop Nvidia from releasing unsigned drivers. Users just have to disable SIP to use them.

My new AMD RX580 8GB works great in Premiere Pro, color grading in 4K footage and everything. And no need to wait for drivers.

Hi you all,

currently I have a NVIDIA GTX 960 running with Mojave. However - Graphics is - of course - not working properly, due to the missing Web Drivers. What I read from the last few pages here:

Is it correct that if I would swap this card to a Radeon RX 560 or 580 that it would work out of the box without any drivers necessary? And is it also true that HEVC decoding would work with this card? Because it doesn't with my GTX 960 in macOS - only in Windows.

If yes - is this only the case for RX 580 or also for 560?
And which (cheap) card would you recommend? I'm not a real gamer, but video playback should work.

THANK YOU in advance!

You can use any RX560 except the XFX branded cards. Most people here usually choose the Sapphire Pulse or MSI RX560 those two are fully supported and should have no problems in Mojave.

Thank you for your quick reply.
And does this card support HEVC hardware decoding (4K, 10bit) in Mojave?

Thanks again
