Nvidia Releases macOS Drivers for GeForce 10-Series Graphics Cards

Now anybody with a $800 budget can build a hackintosh that runs circles around a $6000 mac pro in graphic intensive applications.

Will it work in my old LC II?

You can't really compare a custom-built Hackintosh with consumer-grade components to a workstation/pro-grade computer like the Mac Pro; but I agree the Mac Pro is still way too expensive for 2013 hardware, even after the price drop.

No, you'd need at least an LC III and even then it may not work.

Played tonight with my MacBook Pro 13 2016 with GTX 1070! A dream!!!
Benchmark soon on www.egpu.io (http://www.egpu.io)

I wish my MBP 2016 has a PCI slot on its side.
I am happy to give up one of USB port.

Yeah they are called Thunderbolt

A bit late to this story, but nevertheless I'm excited to see the performance in eGPU enclosures and differences between macOS and Windows.

Your comment made me curious, so I did some quick pricing, and minus extras like finishing off the cooling system and stuff like monitors and whatnot, probably the cheapest you could go and still "run circles" around the $6000 Mac Pro is probably at least $1500. I mean, obviously waaaaay cheaper, and I assume you were just being hyperbolic with the $800 budget. But I spent the time looking, so I thought I'd share.

That said, I loved the tone of last week's press meet with Phil and Craig. "We know the Mac Pro is a mess, we're sorry, we're going to fix it, please don't leave us." :D

Is this compatible with my 5k iMac, both on the Mac and Windows/boot camp?

I could not find anything online to confirm. Thanks.

I know there are hoops to jump through getting eGPUs working with macOS, especially if you're going to be running TB2 with an iMac. But if you're interested this place ('https://egpu.io/setup-guide-external-graphics-card-mac/') looks like a pretty good resource for getting started. Windows probably has better support, but I'm less familiar with eGPU efforts on that side of the coin.

The new Nvidia web drivers for macOS work with a few glitches. Here's an implementation on a Late 2016 15" Macbook Pro with GTX 1080 Ti eGPU ('https://egpu.io/macos-pascal-drivers-gtx-1080-ti-2016-macbook-pro/').

Can a Hackintosh be made with Nvidia Pascal GPU and the latest Ryzen CPU?

I noticed this video with Ryzen working on 10.9: https:/www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntJLxbwurK4 (//www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntJLxbwurK4)

I can't wait to get home and update the driver on my Hackintosh.

And for those who say you can't compare a home-made computer with a Mac Pro are right if you are needing fault-tolerant hardware.

But for $1500, you can definitely get a computer that will perform just as well as a $6000 machine.

The main issue would be that the $1500 machine might have components break sooner, but if you don't have a mission critical process then it doesn't really matter.

And since you are using commonly available parts, if it does fail, then it is fairly easy to replace the part.

That being said, I love my cMP that is still going strong strong from 2010. My 2007 is a little long in the tooth, but is still in production.
