I have included the Maxwell Quadro workstation cards in the unsupported list. The RTX 2060/70 and all related 16 series GTX cards will not work in any version of macOS as there are no web drivers. For example, the newest RTX cards from Nvidia are unsupported in Mojave. If the Nvidia card is Maxwell (745/750/Ti or second gen Maxwell 900 series), Pascal, Turing or Ampere based, there are no Mojave or Catalina drivers that you can use to make it work. Support was maintained in Big Sur for that laptop. A prime example is the Late 2013 MacBook Pro which has a GK107 based GPU. If any Mac is still supported then the GPU in that Mac has to retain support as well.

If you are using a Haswell i3, i5 or i7 CPU in your hackintosh and want to install Big Sur, then use the iMac 15,1 SMBIOS. They are perfectly capable of running Big Sur. For some unknown reason, Apple didn't give the 14,1 14,2 and 14,3 iMacs from 2013, Big Sur support.

Some of those MBAs and MBPs from 2012/13 still have support in Mojave, Catalina and Big Sur. Q: Why does Apple still support these older Kepler based GPUs after switching to AMD ?Ī: Apple used similar Nvidia graphics processors in 2013 Macbook Airs and Macbook Pros is also a great place to research specific cards. Source: Q: How can I determine whether my Nvidia card is Kepler based and not Fermi or something else ?Ī: You can look up the specs on the website The 600 series cards that you should avoid completely are those with the GK106 chip. The best cards from the 600 series are the GTX 670 and 680.

More about how to determine which chips are installed in specific Nvidia graphics cards later in this article. The Nvidia Chip Codes for these are: GK104, GK107, GK110 and GK208. There are approximately 26 Kepler cards that you can still use today with modern versions of macOS up through Big Sur. Many of the 600/700 Series Kepler Graphics Cards are still supported in macOS Mojave, Catalina and Big Sur. Building a CustoMac Hackintosh: Buyer's Guide
