Feb 01, 2020 Hello Nvidia Developers. Can someone please give me information or an update regarding the release of the Nvidia web driver for macOS Mojave 10.14? I am planing on upgrading 12 computers that have GTX 1080 GPU’s. I need this for my business. There are many features in Mojave that i would like to utilize. A time frame would be greatly appreciated.
Check compatibility
You can upgrade to macOS Mojave from OS X Mountain Lion or later on any of the following Mac models. Your Mac also needs at least 2GB of memory and 12.5GB of available storage space, or up to 18.5GB of storage space when upgrading from OS X Yosemite or earlier.
MacBook introduced in 2015 or later
MacBook Air introduced in 2012 or later
MacBook Pro introduced in 2012 or later
Mac mini introduced in 2012 or later
iMac introduced in 2012 or later
iMac Pro (all models)
Mac Pro introduced in 2013, plus mid-2010 or mid-2012 models with a recommended Metal-capable graphics card.

To find your Mac model, memory, storage space, and macOS version, choose About This Mac from the Apple menu . If your Mac isn't compatible with macOS Mojave, the installer will let you know.
Make a backup
Before installing any upgrade, it’s a good idea to back up your Mac. Time Machine makes it simple, and other backup methods are also available. Learn how to back up your Mac.
Get connected
It takes time to download and install macOS, so make sure that you have a reliable Internet connection. If you're using a Mac notebook computer, plug it into AC power.
Download macOS Mojave
For the strongest security and latest features, find out whether you can upgrade to macOS Catalina, the latest version of the Mac operating system.
If you still need macOS Mojave, use this App Store link: Get macOS Mojave.
Begin installation
After downloading, the installer opens automatically.
Click Continue and follow the onscreen instructions. You might find it easiest to begin installation in the evening so that it can complete overnight, if needed.
If the installer asks for permission to install a helper tool, enter the administrator name and password that you use to log in to your Mac, then click Add Helper.
Allow installation to complete
Please allow installation to complete without putting your Mac to sleep or closing its lid. Your Mac might restart, show a progress bar, or show a blank screen several times as it installs both macOS and related updates to your Mac firmware.

- If you have hardware or software that isn't compatible with Mojave, you might be able to install an earlier macOS, such as High Sierra, Sierra, or El Capitan.
- macOS Mojave won't install on top of a later version of macOS, but you can erase your disk first or install on another disk.
- You can use macOS Recovery to reinstall macOS.
For the most part, asking why Apple won’t support things is a futile endeavor. Much ink has been spilled criticizing the company’s various design decisions and raising questions about its product families, particularly in recent years, as prices have risen and product decisions have seemed to prioritize form over function.
But even with all of that said, the company’s attitudes towards Nvidia’s GPUs could really use some explaining. For years, Nvidia cards have worked in Mac systems on an unofficial level, which meant you could get things to operate if you were willing to roll up your sleeves a little bit. This continued to be the case through macOS 10.13, which supported Nvidia’s Pascal family. While this support has been unofficial, it made sense for Apple to at least keep its hand in the proverbial game. eGPU support has been a major value-add for both Macs and PCs over the last few years, and the concept of using an external GPU opens the door to the vendor Apple isn’t integrating into its own hardware, whomever that might be. In addition, there are professional areas and applications where Nvidia’s GPUs and CUDA support are preferred over AMD. But with macOS 10.14 (Mojave), that support is gone — and according to AppleInsider, they can’t even figure out why.
According to Nvidia, the problem lies entirely with Apple. A statement released by the company last year reads:
Developers using Macs with NVIDIA graphics cards are reporting that after upgrading from 10.13 to 10.14 (Mojave) they are experiencing rendering regressions and slow performance.
Apple fully controls drivers for Mac OS. Unfortunately, NVIDIA currently cannot release a driver unless it is approved by Apple.
Our hardware works on OS 10.13 which supports up to (and including) Pascal.
AppleInsider notes that even the supported graphics cards — limited to the GTX 680 and Quadro K5000, both Kepler-era GPUs — took a performance hit under Mojave. But the website’s attempts to find an answer as to why Nvidia GPUs were now persona non grata on Mac hardware in any capacity kept running into roadblocks. According to them, engineers at Apple are agreeable to the idea and there’s certainly no reason Apple’s Metal 2 UI can’t run on Nvidia hardware, but there was a consistent feeling that “support for Nvidia’s higher-end cards would be welcome, but disallowed quietly at higher levels of the company.”

Apple users need not apply.
AppleInsider concluded that the issue is long-standing “quiet hostility” between Nvidia and Apple at a fairly high level. This, of course, is perfectly possible. It’s also technically possible that it’s some facet of the deal between Apple and AMD, though it’s unclear why Apple would ever agree to such a limit in the first place and seems generally unlikely. But regardless of the underlying reason, it’s a situation we’d like to see the companies’ resolve.
Gamers and professional users are best-served when they have the freedom to deploy the software and hardware solutions they want to use in as flexible a manner as possible. There do not appear to be technical reasons why Nvidia’s GPUs cannot be supported on macOS 10.14 (Mojave). If Apple wants to rely solely on AMD as a formal partner for its integrated GPUs, that’s entirely its own business. But the major benefit of the eGPU ecosystem is precisely that users have far more freedom to upgrade their graphics card, even if they’re limited to a mobile system.
Nvidia Web Driver For Macos Mojave
Disallowing product support for the largest graphics card vendor and the major GPU player in the AI and ML markets is anti-competitive and consumer-hostile. It also strikes directly against Apple’s claim to care about professional users and professional markets. Nvidia and Apple should work together to support at least Nvidia GPUs in eGPU configurations, up to and including the RTX family. A petition to that effect has been started already.
