Apple rubberstamps an open source driver to allow Nvidia GPUs to run on Macs, though gaming isn't on the table just yet

It wasn't that long ago that you could happily use an Nvidia graphics card in an Apple Mac, either for gaming or to use Team Green's CUDA ecosystem. But once Apple switched to its own rendering API, that was the end of it all. Until now, that is, because thanks to a new open-source driver, you can go all AppleCUDA once again.

Coding and tech YouTuber Alex Ziskind (via Videocardz) has posted a video where they try out this new driver on a Mac mini, connecting a GeForce RTX 50-series graphics card to it via an eGPU dock, over a USB4 cable. The secret (well, not secret now) sauce is an app called TinyGPU, developed by tiny corp, which also created the special driver that it uses to make everything work.
