Apple/products related News, Info on Future Mac Pro, Software Updates and Tips:
- NVIDIA announces TITAN Xp, Mac Pascal Drivers Coming (nvidia blog)
(from the blog post)
"Open to Mac Community
Speaking of users, we're also making the new TITAN Xp open to the Mac community with new Pascal drivers, coming this month. For the first time, this gives Mac users access to the immense horsepower delivered by our award-winning Pascal-powered GPUs."
Finally we will get Mac drivers for the GTX-1xxx series. (As of early April, the Nvidia web drivers have only supported 9xx and earlier cards.) I hope this means the next Mac Pro will also have a GTX-1080 (or better) card option. (And that Apple's promise of a "Modular" Mac Pro means they'll use standard form factor components. This makes it easier for Apple and owners to upgrade (and repair) them in the future.)
