I don't really understand GPU requirements

[le0nlol]

can someone please explain me NVIDIA supported GPUs?

Nvidia GPU cards were included in Macs until the year when MacOS High Sierra was released. Nvidia Kepler based cards (e.g., GTX 710) were natively supported in macOS until macOS 12. After Monterrey, Apple removed the Kepler cards support.

I mean uhm.. GPU series, for example 3060 Ti. I've tried 1650, 2070 SUPER and 3060 Ti, they all don't support macOS at all.

I am going to get a new GPU, I thought about 4070 but I want to make sure it will support latest macOS

If you want to run macOS, you can either get a real Mac or install an RX 6xxx card.

Just forget about NVIDIA, ever since the more recent GTX series, Apple completely dropped support for them.
That means no RTX card will ever be supported in any way. Apple only works with AMD GPUs and integrated Intel graphics (10th gen max) now.
I don’t think there’s any officially supported Mac left that still works with NVIDIA drivers today

Oh, I got it now

Yep, you need to base your setup on hardware configurations that actually existed in real Macs to have any chance of proper support.
The community can’t just create a fully custom driver for hardware that was never supported, it’s way too complex to make it stable and performant, especially since NVIDIA doesn’t provide open-source drivers (which is exactly why Apple stopped working with them).

So yeah, like I said, you need to use a configuration that was used in a real Mac to maximize compatibility.
To make sure your PC can actually run macOS properly, check the Dortania guide, it explains everything in detail.
