_sam_ Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Anyone have any inside information on when there will be an Nvidia OSX driver for the GTX 1070/1080 'Pascal' based cards? I've got a new, very pretty looking MSI GTX 1080 Gamer Edition all setup and ready in my eGPU box just waiting for the driver for 10.11.5 to come out... 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/312731-osx-driver-for-gtx-1080-aka-pascal/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackattak Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Might be a long wait - from the time of initial Maxwell release to supporting NVIDIA web drivers being released for OS X was about 6 months. Hard to know when (and if) it will happen.

I have tweeted at Nvidia directly here: https://twitter.com/s_mcleod/status/746027244846358528 Note: I'm not talking about supporting the configuration, just releasing a general driver, or developmental release / beta driver.

Most likely won't happen. They will be focusing their few macOS resources to the new version, so the best you can hope for is support in a Sierra beta web driver release. Soonest would be a month or two from now. As stated before normally its 6 months. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/312731-osx-driver-for-gtx-1080-aka-pascal/#findComment-2245665 Share on other sites More sharing options...
_sam_ Posted June 26, 2016 Author Share Posted June 26, 2016 Would it in theory work under Windows if I was to install bootcamp? Sorry I don't know the windows world well these days, do thunderbolt devices 'just work' like PCIe cards?

Guest jonatrapezita Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 If you buy a new GTX 1080 gaming edition is because you want to play under windows, I assume that. Why not to buy a graphics card that work OOB under OS X ?
