I’m so tired of being victim to the whims of these companies - isn’t this what anti-trust was all about? Even if these two make up there will be a whole new line of cards out by then and these will be long in the rear view. So go grab all your NVIDIA cards, find your nearest electronic recycling center or wood chipper and have at it. The result - I’ve been around long enough to know a lame duck developer when I see one. Someone slept with someone else’s boyfriend and now the two are no speaking to each other. NVIDIA flirted with Apple and now, like two teenage girls, they didn’t get along over something most likely ridiculous. So assuming NVIDIA legal knows this, it just stands to reason that it’s a load of crap and they’re choosing not to make or release drivers for some other reason.ĭon’t hold your breath. While there are no tools which use macOS as a target environment, NVIDIA is making macOS host versions of these tools that you can launch profiling and debugging sessions on supported target platforms. And even Judge Ray Charles would be able to see it… NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit 11.6 no longer supports development or running applications on macOS. A first year law school student could argue the case and win. So that’s against the law and NVIDIA knows it. That’s so basic a caveman can understand it… You can’t forbid someone to provide their products and services to others when you, yourself aren’t buying them either. It would be one thing if Apple was the sole customer buying all of NVIDIA’s cards.
Unless Apple owned NVIDIA, they can’t control or interfere with NVIDIA’s abilities and efforts to sell to non Apple customers, especially when they’re not satisfying that channel to NVIDIA in the first place. NVIDIA would have a fantastic and easily winnable case against Apple for interference with economic advantage. It would be an unenforceable non-compete clause that the lowest kangaroo court in the smallest most insignificant burg would immediately shoot down as unenforceable.Įven if NVIDIA agreed to it at the time, it wouldn’t hold up now. They’re too busy selling watches and phones.Īfter some thought, I’m pretty sure this whole thing that NVIDIA is spouting about Apple is somehow “controlling” from afar what drivers NVIDIA is allowed to publish is a load of big brown steamy horse manure.Įven if there was something on paper that prevented NVIDIA from doing so, as of the current state of things, it would be toothless.
