Minimum nVidia graphics required to run MacOS Mojave

[giovanicascaes]

No, but I can browse and watch YouTube. Resolution is around 1280x1000. It functions and I have transparency with launcher app.

Yeah, this is my situation too, but no acceleration makes a poor xp.
There's some chance that Clover guys manage to get macOS running on OpenGL again?

Does the GT 710 work or not? Any ideas?

I have one 1gb ddr3 memory it has metal it works with inject Nvidia and Nvidia single settings. The gddr5 model may need web drivers.
It’s the lowest cost graphics card for Mojave.

Okay, thanks man. I didn't want to spend 35$ I didn't have to, lol. I got a free Dell Optiplex 790 from a technical school. Got it all set up for free, aside from reusing some old ram and losing a little over 24hrs of sleep. Works fine, I just can't handle the resolution, lol. Nothing powerful, really, I am mainly just going to use it for X Code and familiarizing myself more with the OS. I love OS X.

Nevermind, Metal is Apple's API. Lol. I am new to this.

Whether Mojave will work depends on your CPU as well. Do you have a core i3,5,7 ? Or something else ?
If you do, install legacy and use a system definition of iMac 14,2 which will likely work with your Dell and Mojave.

It's a 2nd Gen Core i5 2400 I think. I already installed Mojave on it. It works perfectly, other than an issue with the usb controller and unsupported graphics, so I can't get a higher resolution than like 1200(x)something.

Like with the USB ports, you can plug and unplug all day long any flashdrive and it will work, but you cannot do that with mice or keyboards. If it is not booted with the mouse or keyboard in, it will not work. And if you unplug the mouse or keyboard after booted it will not work if plugged back in.

And I did install it as Legacy. Unfortunately UEFI didn't work.

It depends on whether your system is UEFI or not. Usually, most systems made after 2014 or so are usually UEFI, but the hard drive has to be setup with a System partition for UEFI to function. Without the system partition, even UEFI capable systems function as Legacy. My Desktop was Legacy since its hard drive came from when I had a non-UEFI motherboard.

When I migrated to UEFI, I switched my operating systems to UEFI. This migration isn't for the faint of heart, but can be done.

As for the keyboard and mouse, have you tried enabling usb keyboard/mouse support in the bios? Some BIOSes have that listed as USB Legacy or xHCI Handoff. My desktop says xHCI Handoff as well as USB Keyboard/mouse. I have both enabled.

Hi Friends

i have old machine 2nd ten i7 2600 cpu 16gb ddr3 1333 ram gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3-B3 Mainboard and ATI RADEON 5770 1 GB GDDR5 Vga card...I can try install Mojave ,Everythings fine except Graphic card and I change second hand NVIDIA GT630 2GB pci 8x fanless vga card ...Up Voila everything is perfect....Best and cheap option for Metal support NVIDIA GT630.....All Ports Working ( Triple Monitor )

 

[TheMRB]

UPDATE: the GT710 works perfectly. I just bought it off amazon. Granted, I did see something in Clover Conf, editing the plist, that has webdrivers selected by default, so IDK. I don't want to uncheck that as I have no idea how to reenable that without going through clover conf, lol.
