Apple's management doesn't want Nvidia support in macOS, and that's a bad sign for the Mac...
It is possible NVIDIA web drivers might NEVER be released for Mojave. In my specific case, it is for NVIDIA GeForce GTX960 running on Mac Pro mid-2012 5,1 running High Sierra with up to date NVIDIA web drivers, on 2 x 40" 4K monitors via DP, and on System Information>Graphics/Displays, it states Metal: Supported, feature set macOS GPUFamily1 v3.Considering the amount of money I have paid for a variety of NVIDIA cards and Apple products over decades (tens of thousands of pounds), including every generation of Mac from the first Mac Plus in 1988 to Mac Pro 2012, and every generation of iPad and iPhone up to 10XS Max, I think it only fair that if support for NVIDIA's GTX960 card on the Mac platform is going to be dropped, then we should simply be told this. Why prevaricate like this? This must be something that has already been decided long ago, and that means that if support for my GTX960 and others like it HAS been dropped, then NO-ONE is working on a driver that will allow me to continue to use this product. If no-one is actually working on Mojave web drivers at NVIDIA, then we should be told this. This is an easy question to answer. It is simply Yes, or No. Why should we be left guessing about this?There is a thread that has been running for a year now on the NVIDIA website at https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1042520/drivers/-when-will-the-nvidia-web-drivers-be-released-for-macos-mojave-10-14-/ yet no NVIDIA employee has climbed into this thread to address our legitimate concerns. This makes me wonder why NVIDIA hosts these forums at all, if the company doesn't interact with its own customers. That indicates a lack of interest bordering on contempt for NVIDIA customers who purchased products in good faith, expecting our high end investment to continue to work on the same machine it always worked on before.Personally, I don't see how it is so much harder to write a driver for Mojave than it has been up to High Sierra, but if it is, then NVIDIA could let us know one way or the other. I don't care whether it is Apple's fault or NVIDIA's, they should just tell us one way or the other, when or how or whether they're going to throw us under the bus.
