darthsian Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 YES!!! Finally Open to Mac Community Speaking of users, we’re also making the new TITAN Xp open to the Mac community with new beta Pascal drivers, coming this month. For the first time, this gives Mac users access to the immense horsepower delivered by our award-winning Pascal-powered GPUs. https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/2017/04/06/titan-xp/ 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Veteran Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I was going to pull the trigger on one of this but I hold my self to wait it the drivers are available like they said that will be soon. I will be buying one of this, 3840 Cuda cores, 12 TFLOPS on a single card, yes the down side its the price but who cares when you want performance and now that you will have support on OS X, well....

distro Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 So excited for the Pascal drivers! I've had a 1070 founder's edition since it launched last summer, been waiting ever since. As for the new card, it's not really worth it IMO... the 1080 is much better value and you can even get 2 in SLI for around the same price as the Xp.

Kynyo Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 After such a long time and patience we will have Pascal support on macOS! " Open to Mac Community Speaking of users, we’re also making the new TITAN Xp open to the Mac community with new Pascal drivers, coming this month. For the first time, this gives Mac users access to the immense horsepower delivered by our award-winning Pascal-powered GPUs." "NVIDIA recognizes the desire Mac users have for the greatest functionality and highest performance. Next week, we’ll be posting a new driver that enables Pascal-based graphics cards and allows these users to have a significant increase in both."

frankle Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Who from real Mac users expected to use Pascal? Only Hackintoshers. I'm planning on getting a GTX1070 for my MacPro 5,1 to upgrade from my GTX970, mostly for better gaming performance as I use BootCamp for Windows 7 gaming (BF4/BF1/CoD4/CoD5). Might even upgrade to a 4K screen ... although a 144Hz 1440 might be a better option. The W3690 and 24GB of RAM still seem to be doing alright, the SATA2 connections seem to be the weak point but with EVO SSD's for both macOS Sierra and Windows 7 it'll do for a while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fantomas Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 It's too much happiness for poor performance!blowup.gif Maybe you're right. But if this new makes hackint0sh users more than happy, it is mainly about the full QE_CI support for these graphics cards, not necessarily for performances (even if it is not to neglect). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwestpha Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 15/20% worst than Windows drivers like actual gtx 9xx or titan X (maxwell) would be fantastic for now... :-) Nvidia webdrivers are literally the only game in town for timely graphics driver fixes/optimizations and we all know how lacking that is. OS X web drivers for GPUs aren't common simply because why would you develop a new branch when Apple is just going to ignore and deny merge requests (that is bundled in the next maintenance release) against your new optimized performance branch and force you to tweak your old code over and over again? Apple has set their laptop/desktop platform to be slow and unresponsive because they want stability and predictability at all costs. That and to align OS X with iOS to increasing frustrating degrees. I miss the old days when it wasn't just IGP and Apple at least tried to focus on features and performance. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
