Will the GT 1030 be compatible?

[MannyHacker]

Anyone know for sure if the new GT 1030 will be compatible with the current drivers for MacOS? I'm thinking of getting one but I'm not completely sure because of the potential lack of support.

Thanks!

I would be very surprised if the Nvidia web drivers didn't include support for it. But that's just speculation.

I asked here as well: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...-12-5-378-05-05-15.222102/page-3#post-1506560

I guess it would work and consider pre ordering one from a company with a good return policy to try out. I'm building a hackintosh with a GTX 1050 at the moment, but fanless could be nice!

I am now using this card: https://www.msi.com/Graphics-card/GeForce-GT-1030-2GH-LP-OC.html#hero-overview

I had the GTX 1050 installed previously with drivers and it was a simple swap, then it worked on first boot. Performance is of course worse than 1050 and the price difference is too small, I think, but the silence is nice!

I am running 1920x1080 over HDMI. Haven't got hardware to the 4k via DP.

Standard settings, I just opened the app and ran the benchmark. The GPU, being passive, got a bit warm to touch, but seemed to run without throttling down.

macOS 10.12.4 with Nvidia drivers.
