Custom Metal driver brings Nvidia GeForce RTX to Hackintosh

notebookcheck.net —

A developer named NullMoth has released a custom Metal driver enabling Nvidia GeForce RTX graphics cards to work on Hackintosh PCs running macOS 15 Sequoia, tested on an RTX 5060. The driver is not yet ready for everyday use. The driver supports GeForce GTX 16 and RTX 20, 30, 40, and 50 series cards, plus Titan RTX and workstation models, on Intel Macs or PCs using OpenCore. It translates Apple's shader code to SPIR-V for the open-source NVK Vulkan driver, with Nvidia's GPU kernel modules adapted for macOS. Installation requires disabling key macOS security features like System Integrity Protection and Secure Boot, and the project's license prohibits commercial use. The driver arrives as macOS 26 Tahoe is the last Intel version, with Hackintosh support being phased out.
