NVIDIA GC on mac

[patgirqui]

Hello Guys,

 

I have been driven to crazy point now. I have a Late 2013 Retina 15" and I updated to Mojave (my bad) and now I cant update the Graphic Card and its using the Default macOs Graphic Driver... How can I fix this?

 

I have attached a SS of my laptop details.

 

(fyi this is not my main computure anymore this is just my house laptop)

Apple writes the drivers for macOS. Nvidia is not longer allowed to code drivers for macOS. Keep the OS up to date and the graphics "drivers" (macOS does not handle graphics like that) will be up to date.

Or, worded differently, the "Update driver" feature was a side-effect of the driver being written by a third party (NVIDIA) and therefore the driver updates were not necessarily provided within Mac OS X (now macOS) updates. Now, since Apple no longer allows third-party drivers, driver updates are provided within macOS updates themselves, eliminating any need for the "Update driver" option.

 

All readers are advised to take this with a grain of salt, as I am basically reinterpreting the post to which I am replying, just in case something was not understood clearly from the post in question.

MacOS does have graphics drivers you just don't need to download them yourself, most of the time.

 

Also unless the drivers provided by Apple are under performing, there should be no reason to switch. If they are slow, just dual boot another OS or something until Apple and Nvidia stop fighting.

What? Nvidia GPUs do not work in macOS. Period. It’s not a matter if the drivers  are “slow,” it’s a matter of a Mac with an Nvidia GPU installed won’t boot.

There should be a fallback driver that works on most hardware, Nvidia cards can run but just extremely slowly and with issues. I don't think even Apple is stupid enough to not have a fallback driver (but maybe they are who knows? They always pull the stupidest shit).

 

This is a direct quote from Nvidia:

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.
