Tom's HardwareApple approves drivers that let AMD and Nvidia eGPUs run on Mac — software designed for AI, though, and not built for gaming
The company behind the tiny box AI accelerator says that its macOS driver for Nvidia eGPUs has just been signed by Apple, making it a legitimate software for Macs and no longer needs workarounds to work with the device.

Apple Just Blessed Nvidia eGPU Support on Arm Macs — And It Could Reshape the Pro Computing Market
For years, the relationship between Apple and Nvidia has been defined by absence. A cold war, really. Apple abandoned Nvidia GPU support when it transitioned to Apple Silicon in 2020, and Nvidia showed little public interest in bridging the gap. Professional users who needed Nvidia’s CUDA-powered workflows — machine learning engineers, 3D artists, scientific researchers — were left with an uncomfortable choice: Apple hardware or Nvidia accelerat…
Apple has given the green light to signing a driver extension for GPU published by Tiny Corp, which opens the doors to facilitating the installation of dedicated graphics cards, both from AMD and NVIDIA, on Mac machines with Arm processor. Even if it is within the Tinygrad ecosystem, so we are not talking about a universal native macOS support. The Tinygrad account published that Apple had approved its driver for AMD and NVIDIA and that the inst…
