NVIDIA Cards compatible with Mac

I have a MacBook Air Intel so terrible graphics. I want to get an eGPU. But all I can find for compatibility is AMD. NVIDIA is so much more cheaper. (And I know theres a graphics card shortage for NVIDIA currently, but it is getting better).

so this brings me to the final question:

What Nvidia Graphics Cards are compatible with macOS big sur?


Solution 1:

Apple haven't been friends* with NVidia in quite a few years - here's the list of compatible Macs & GPUs - https://support.apple.com/HT208544 - all AMD.

For a time NVidia made their own drivers for add-in GPUs, mainly for the Mac Pros that had interchangeable cards like a regular PC. They stopped doing that at High Sierra so there is no NVidia support after that, other than for Mac models that shipped with NVidia when new [none of which will be able to run Mojave or newer I would guess, because of the lack of Metal2 support].

*Article from AppleInsider - Apple's management doesn't want Nvidia support in macOS, and that's a bad sign for the Mac Pro
