Can't you emo boys just ditch MacOS without ranting and crying like a bunch of sissies? No one likes Apple's attitude now, but some can take an uncomfortable situation and carry on and some other just pollute forum pages with their threats of ditching the OS. Ditch it and make space, just do it.

Still betting on the release of 10.12.2, which BTW should be in December, for the release of pascal web drivers. I don't know why took Nvidia so long to release them, but they'll eventually be there in just a few weeks. For all of you who are thinking to sell their 10x0 graphics card, I would wait for the release of 10.12.2, hopefully then we will get the drivers.
 
My guess at this stage would be that Apple felt Pascal support would hurt sales of their new/upcoming computers and asked Nvidia to hold off. I don't know how drivers work but it seems odd to me that the Titan X (Pascal) would be supported but the consumer Pascal cards wouldn't be.

I'm guessing we'll get support after the initial surge of sales for the new Mac Pro and iMac subsides.

In the mean time, for people that don't require much graphic performance in MacOS I can highly recommend the solution of adding a second cheap (supported) GPU to their setup. I got a dirt cheap GT 710 2gb and I already had an HDMI switcher which is great because I never have to unplug screen cables.

Yeah, I also don't think that Nvidias OS X developers are that incapable. I'm not a developer myself but I think releasing a driver is not a task which takes over half a year.

Apple probably told Nvidia "be nice or no business in the future".
 
All I'm hoping for is that they support the GTX 1060 too. Not just the beast cards :D
 
I think I'm going to have to call it. I've waiting too long for these drivers, im un able to make my iGPU work in a satisfactory way (see https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/intel-hd-4600-problem-strange-colors-and-contrast.207938/)

I'm going to move my work station to a totally Windows environment (I feel dirty even saying that) but its better than the fragmented setup I've been running for months with a Mac laptop and Windows PC with barely functioning OS X partition and a $600 video card sitting idle while I try and make use of a $2 on board iGPU.

Downgrading to a 980 isn't an option for me, and I do make heavy use of the 1080 in Windows and I'm very happy with it.

So, thanks to everyone who answered my questions over the past year or so, but I guess im stepping out of the hackintosh game (for now at least).
Cheers

Stupid and naïve question :
My machine now is a a i7-4770K with a GTX660. I'd like to add a GTX1080 to do some color grading on Da Vinci Resolve. My purpose is not to game so I was wondering if the CUDA support would be enough for Resolve to work on my hackintosh with the 1080...or not....I'll keep the 660 as a GUI display card...
Thanks in advance.

I'm no expert in graphics drivers, but to my understanding the answer to your question would currently be no. You need both the web drivers (which is what we're waiting for) along with the CUDA support to actually use the CUDA support. The web drivers are what actually interfaces with the hardware of the card itself, so without that the CUDA support is useless.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong on that, but that is my understanding.
