Lots of folks freaking out about Mojave and Metal. Early adopters are being forced to watch the new "Dancing Poo Emoji" wriggle his way into their hearts from a stuttering, un-acclerated screen.
Who is already enjoying this little stinker in full 3d glory? Folks with the few Metal cards that got included in the OS before apple jammed their head into the sand in 2012. As i live in a temperate location and on the roof, i can't have those little heat engines from AMD in my place. This leaves me with Nvidia. i'm about to go toss in a 470/480/570/580 to verify that those work. But most folks are sticking with GTX680 as it is on 'the list'. no Web driver needed, and metal support to run Mojave. It "just works". but the good news is you don't have to limit yourself to this specific card. in the same family (and using same driver files in OSX) are other cards from Kepler family. Apple also includes the Quadr0 K5000 on their VERY short list. So we are too. Starting in next few days you will see K5000 available from us. We may do some other Quadro cards while we are at it. But forgotten here is that a GTX780 can run rings around either of those two. The 3g version is popular but 6G version far more useful, and is supported. The creme de la creme of Kepler was Titan. But hard for most to tell a Kepler Titan (supported) compared to Titan Black (which was NOT supported in the OS last I checked, and is confusingly, not black but silver like the one that IS supported ) but frequently overlooked are the entry level Kepler cards. Specifically, the GT630 and GT640. These cards have boot screens on any port up to 2560x1600 and will do full 4K 60p once desktop is reached. and they DON'T REQUIRE Web Driver. SO, whenever there is an os update or Web Driver delay, these cards all keep working. A GT630/640 thus becomes a good basic card for these machines. A fitting replacement for the GT120, which is now a lovely grey paper weight.

I have an EVGA GTX680 and it boots just fine. I also have a GTX1070. And i just get a black screen. My mac boots fine but then i get no image out of it. I used duet display app and connected my phone via the usb and i can see it boots fine. I don't have enough power for both cards to see what's going on. The problem is NVIDIA and the web driver. It should be out by now. Beta testing of Mojave started some months ago.

My GTX760 works fine with the stock drivers on Mojave.

Hopefully Nvidia releases drivers in like 2 weeks or sometime soon. If Nvidia likes money they will make sure to release drivers for the latest OSX. If Nvidia wants AMD to overtake them as a graphics card than they won't release drivers. I have no problems switching sides if Nvidia doesn't support the people who buy their cards. Lets go, lets get this done. I'm tired of running off bootleg Nvidia drivers that work so ghetto like on Mojave.

I know that NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 2GB works perfect in Mojave. I have one and haven't had any issues or slow downs. I hope this helps!

GTX780 Ti also works in Mojave ;-)

I'm curious...I had heard that NVidia is not the problem. From what I've been able to gather, Apple needs to digitally sign the drivers for use with Mojave. So NVidia (and we) are at the mercy of Apple's timeline to certify the drivers.

Does it really matter? In my mind there really is only one question that's worth asking: is the web driver available or not? Until Apple and/or NVIDIA make more effort to explain what's going on, questions like the one you posed are pure speculation.

I have a GT630 on a Mojave MacPro 3,1 (dosdude) and it works fine without a driver but I am now running 105 as the webdriver and it works fine too. I have a GTX770 on a Mojave Mac Pro 4,1 updated to 5,1 and it works fine without the driver, so I am not bothering with the webdriver as a test. Both work fine with dual monitors.

My MVC GTX 1080 runs Mojave but only on one monitor. Everything works smoothly although I noticed I can not use Google Chrome - all type is in white! But Safari works fine. I have this on a test SSD so I won't be installing it on my main work SSD until the updated drivers come out.

Really? You mean with one monitor the GTX 1080 functions normally under Mojave (except for Google Chrome)? I had heard that it will function but without any hardware acceleration. Let me know, I have the MVC flashed GTX 1080 waiting in a box for the Mojave drivers to come out....

Yes, it scrolls smoothly in Mojave and the native drivers but have not tried anything like using Premiere Pro as the CUDA drivers are not available either. But the card is recognized as being METAL ready.

I have the same card. On Mojave, DVD player gives a black screen. Anything that needs the GPU for decoding gives a black screen, but audio is ok.

Hey Iclev, thanks for your answer to my post. So when you say native drivers, that means I don't have to install any web drivers at all (I never installed the OS 13.6 drivers because I had already installed Mojave before buying the GTX 1080). So now I'm running Mojave perfectly fine with an AMD 7950, but have this flashed 1080 in a box waiting... You seem to be advising to wait for the web drivers....?

You can give it a try. I am betting you will find things that do not work with the native drivers Apple included. I am really unhappy with only one monitor so I will be waiting. I also have not done any extensive testing with apps. If you try it I will be interested in hearing about what you find.

Thanks Iclev. I will think on it, and hopefully the new drivers will drop while I'm still thinking...!

No, but you will be still able to boot with flashed card. Just wait for drivers for full support.

So I have a problem. I bought the GT640 so that I would be able to have my boot screens like this site described and I left my RX580 in the machine just like I left it in back when I had the GT120.

No updates yet. Is there any chance that there will never be an update?

Wow, still waiting for the Nvidia drivers, now in November. I am starting to worry that they won't arrive :(

Is noone else noticing problems with FCPX 10.4.3 ever since High Sierra 10.13.4 and up? Dark gamma shift on the viewer? 11/6/2018 01:18:54 pm
Interesting article over on MacRumors about Mojave and Nvidia drivers:

Are the 780/780Ti/Titan really confirmed to work? Aren't they 2nd generation Kepler cards? Just like the Titan Black?

Any news or rumors if there will be any update for mojave?

So what is the story with the Titan Z? There is no mentioning for it for the flashing mail-in service. Is it flashable? Leave a Reply. |
