Does it make money though? None of us can say for sure. If I had to bet, I'd be putting money on Hackintosh GPU sales being so small it can't possibly make back the investment in engineering and QA resources a driver needs. Even with a small team, this will easily run to hundreds of thousands of...

Except that it isn't the exact same 900 users who can upgrade. Of those Mac users who have 'real' Macs with Nvidia 9xx cards, they are all of course old cheesegrater tower style Mac Pro users with PCI-E expansion (I'm ignoring external GPU users - there's clearly very, very few people doing...

I agree, but history says otherwise. For the past two years or so ever since Nvidia launched Maxwell Nvidia have enjoyed a big lead here. Apple haven't used Nvidia at all during this time either, so I wouldn't count on performance alone forcing Apple to switch. If performance and power...

True I forgot to mention eGPU use cases. But realistically how many of those actually exist today? The cost of Thunderbolt eGPU enclosures has always been completely mad or involved extremely convoluted construction processes, not to mention that until Thunderbolt 3 ships in meaningful...

Whilst it's true the only customers Nvidia have today are 4 year old Mac Pros and hackintoshes, it's worthwhile to remember that Nvidia would undoubtedly like to win Apple's business back from AMD again in the future. They can't do this without drivers. Apple have long see-sawed between ATI and...

I really hope the Nvidia web drivers show up soon - I dual boot my hackintosh into Windows 10 pretty much only to use the Oculus Rift, and these new Pascal cards are much, much better for VR performance wise. I was always surprised OS X never gained native Maxwell support, from a TDP perspective...
