    I have a top end gaming PC with an RTX 4090. Does Mac even install Nvidia drivers? It sure as fuck doesn’t run games!

      Apple will gladly do everything in their power to make developers resent creating things for macs, but they are compensating it by porting Proton to it now.

      Yes, there has been native eGPU support since at least MacOS 10.13. That doesn’t mean it’s better at gaming then your Windows desktop, just that it can, which is what I said.

        Latest supported Nvidia GPUs are from the 10xx series up to macOS 10.13.6. 10.14 and up only support Kepler based GPUs, like GTX 770

        eGPU support! 🤣 Great, you can play iPhone games. Run Cyberpunk 2077 on your “Apple silicon” and let me know how it goes. Get serious, Macs don’t game. I also use a PS5 controller with my PC using DS4 Windows? Does Mac do that?

          Jesus Christ you’re a dense dork.

          eGPU = External GPU (over Thunderbolt), not embedded GPU or whatever else you imagined.

          Maybe you should reread your original comment about “Macs can’t do half the stuff a PC can”, which I was responding to.

          I don’t even use a Mac, but I’m not a dipshit fanboy convinced of the supremacy of Windows, or any OS.

          You said something dumb, I corrected it. You keep saying dumb shit, but I can’t fix stupid, so I’m out. Peace.
