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

[trs96]

So it would be better to stay at 10.3.6, if you using native Nvidia web drivers?

You can still use Mojave with Kepler based cards like the GTX 650 but not the newer Pascal cards like the 1030 or 1050 Ti or 1070 etc. Those need Mojave drivers that Nvidia doesn't distribute yet. Stay with High Sierra for now if using one of these Pascal cards.

Some but not all of the 7 series cards will also work in Mojave. This is because some are Kepler based and some Maxwell.

For example the GTX 750 and 750 Ti won't work without new web drivers for Mojave.

We will find out next week as AMD's rumoured exclusive contract with Apple - which prohibits any rival manufacturer support - expires end of 2018. Check back middle of next week and lets hope for Mojave web drivers

So, 2019 is here. I haven't read anything about any AMD exclusive contract ending and Apple is still selling Macs with AMD graphics.

There also hasn't been a peep from Nvidia. You figure if they had drivers ready, they would be chomping at the bit to get them out to users who have been waiting and complaining for months.

Whoever made up the AMD exclusive BS was just grasping at straws and selling snake oil.

"Very shortly"

"Very shortly"

Did you respond back within 72 hrs? It reads they will assume your issue has been solved if you don’t respond back within that time period. I would suggest keeping on top of the communications every 2-3 days and plague Nvidia with this customer support issue. Without follow up responses they may just file it as solved.

I’m curious as to why Nvidia hasn’t released beta RTX drivers for High Sierra yet. This would be a big first step in getting some bugs worked out.
Apple has released most of the open source kernel materials except “libpcap” for 14.0 and 14.1. Custom kernels are already working for Mojave by some offbeat enthusiasts, ah hem!

It's not me, I found it here: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/...rivers-be-released-for-macos-mojave-10-14-/57

Plenty of people are complaining, even the CEO of RED: https://www.heise.de/mac-and-i/meld...Ende-der-Nvidia-Treiber-Blockade-4256129.html

However, the response that it will be solved "very shortly" is incredibly good. Previously they haven't promised anything.

If Nvidia's definition of "shortly" is 4-6 months maybe not.

We'll see, doesn't hurt to be optimistic.

Or persistent, you should inquire as well and put pressure on Nvidia to make MacOS RTX drivers.
