- Sep 13, 2012 The announcement was made at the IBC 2012 trade show in Amsterdam earlier this week and it is the company's first Quadro card for the Mac Pro since the Fermi-based Quadro 4000, released November 2010.
- I just installed a nVidia Quadro K4000 (included on list of recommended video adapters for GPU acceleration) on my Dell Workstation 7910 running Windows 10 Pro with 64GB memory and dual (2) 8 core processors Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630 v3 @2.40 GHz.

I have been doing my own testing of Metal supported GPU. On top of the list of AMD Radeon products, I've found some older PCIe NVIDIA cards fully compatible as well including:
We compared the Quadro 4000 for Mac to the three top performing GPUs for the Mac Pro. Since there is not a Mac OS X version of SPECviewperf, we ran it under Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. In the table below, the numbers are frames per second. The red number is the fastest result for a given test.

I will be updating this list if I find more NVIDIA compatible cards. I suspect that a NVIDIA Quadro M4000, Quadro K5200, Quadro P4000, Quadro P5000, NVIDIA Titan X, NVIDIA GTX 780, GeForce 8800GT, and NVIDIA Titan Xp would also be fully Metal compatible, but I've not verified that in macOS High Sierra or macOS Mojave.
Mac Pro, macOS Mojave (10.14.1)
