Does macOS support Cuda?
The CUDA Development Tools require an Intel-based Mac running Mac OSX v. 10.8 or later. To check which version you have, go to the Apple menu on the desktop and select About This Mac. The CUDA Toolkit requires that the native command-line tools (gcc, clang,…) are already installed on the system.
Can you install CUDA on Mac?
If you want to install CUDA 6.0 on a Mac you need to have OS X 10.8 (Lion) or later running on your computer. If you don’t, you can download Mavericks (OS X 10.9) from the App Store, which is free. In the situation where you cannot install OS X 10.8 or later, don’t worry: you can install older CUDA releases.
How do I know if Cuda is installed on my Mac?
The version of the CUDA Toolkit can be checked by running nvcc -V in a terminal window.

Do Macs support Nvidia?
Most of my testing focused on using the Razer Core X Chroma with a Mac, and for that use you’ll need to stick with AMD’s GPUs, since Apple doesn’t natively support Nvidia graphics cards in macOS.
Do Macs have Nvidia?
You see, while Intel Macs contain GPU’s from Intel, Nvidia and AMD, Apple Silicon Macs will use what the company seems fond of calling “Apple family” GPUs. These use a rendering system called Tile Based Deferred Rendering (TBDR), which iOS devices already use.
Why is there no CUDA Driver for macOS?
It’s really a shame that it came to this. When CUDA drivers never materialized in recent macOS updates there was a lot of speculation as to why Apple wouldn’t allow the support, which apparently had to be blessed by Apple for a macOS release. NVIDIA even said they couldn’t release a driver unless it was approved by Apple.
What does Nvidia ending CUDA support mean for You?
Nvidia ending support after CUDA 10.2 is really more tit for tat than any kind of major statement. Yet it does leave some people, like the aforementioned hackintosh users, in the lurch. It also means that it’s now going to make Apple devices a lot less appealing to some high-end developers and animation professionals.
Is this the end of Nvidia and Apple’s long-term relationship?
The last vestiges of Nvidia and Apple’s long- term relationship are ending shortly. On Monday Nvidia published the release notes for the next update of its CUDA platform and noted that “CUDA 10.2 (Toolkit and NVIDIA driver) is the last release to support macOS for developing and running CUDA applications.”
Why does Apple use AMD instead of Nvidia in MacBook Pro?
It went so poorly that Apple started to rely on AMD for its GPUs despite Nvidia’s popularity and typically better performance. That’s why Apple’s MacBook Pro line up kept using less powerful AMD GPUs when Nvidia’s robust and popular series of mobile processors were sitting right there.
