Somone think I have to ty this video?
@amitfgggds,
Do not waste your time with this video or any other online tutorial that claims to get the Nvidia WEB drivers working with unsupported Nvidia GPU's on MacOS Mojave, Catalina or BugSur, there is no magic bullet and anyone who claims otherwise is a fraud.
The bottom line is this ...
1. As of MacOS Mojave Apple have migrated to using their own Metal 2 Graphics API as the primary means of GPU acceleration in MacOS and have depreciated the ancient version of OpenGL that it has used in the past. No version of the Nvidia Web drivers have ever or will ever support Apples Metal 2 API. Nvidia have officially and publicly announced that they will not support MacOS beyond High Sierra. Therefore even if you get the Nvidia Web Drivers installed by spoofing the MacOS version as High Sierra (as this video shows) you will still not have Metal 2 compatible drivers installed and as a result no acceleration of the MacOS GUI or any app that uses the Metal 2 API.
2. The video claims that the method also works for 2000 and 3000 Nvidia series GPU's ... this is complete and utter BS. Nvidia have never updated their MacOS web drivers to support any RTX/Turing based GPU.
3. All your going to do by following such false claims is screw up your MacOS install, anyone who has an unsupported Nvidia GPU will get much better GPU performance by using the CPU's IGPU rather than using a botched Nvidia driver install with an unsupported Nvidia GPU.
4. If your serious about running MacOS on non-Apple hardware and need more GPU power than the IGPU can supply then update to a AMD based GPU (EG: RX 580, Vega 56 / 64, RX 5700 ... etc).
I find it hard to believe that there are people out there that still think its possible to use an unsupported Nvidia GPU in MacOS Mojave and beyond as all of the above information has been common knowledge for a few years now.
Cheers
Jay
