Just came across a nice video on youtube about using modern nVidia and AMD GPUs on macOS: "TinyGPU app lets you use AMD and NVIDIA GPUs on macOS over USB4/Thunderbolt with tinygrad."

There are bunch of videos on youtube that you can see if that's really worth using.

@Cyberdevs I'm not sure which I'm more excited about: learning about macOS graphics with modern nVidia or the fact that I'm reading a post from you!  Great to see you here!!!! 🎉💙

@Cyberdevs I took a quick look at the link you posted.  I read your post too quickly and thought you were referring to modern NVidia graphics over thunderbolt/usb4.  It looks like the link discusses tensor processing on nVidia over Thunderbolt/USB4 - correct?.  Still very cool.  

 

I'm doing all of my AI programming on Linux (Ubuntu) with nVidia RTX dGPUs and PyTorch.  When I get my first real Apple Silicon Mac, I will have to revisit this.  Thanks!

 

EDIT: I haven't explored this for a while, but it also looked promising.

@Alpha22 Thanks :)

Yeah the main reason for using Nvidia GPUs on Macs would be mostly to benefit their RAW power for AI, and it seems to be working somewhat ok, not as optimal as Windows or Metal on macOS but it's great news that some people are rewriting the whole Nvidia drivers for macOS from the ground up.
