New Mac Pro - Hackdot

For me it's win-win situation for Apple. They help Nvidia with drivers, more people buy Mac Pro to use Nvidia GPU. I have no idea why Apple don't want to work with Nvidia. They are not selling desktop GPU after all. May be they have some hidden agreements with AMD.

Well obviously they have agreements with AMD. Apple gets special treatment from AMD/Intel/Nvidia, they get to see unrevealed roadmaps, custom contracts etc.

Whether it's an exclusivity deal or not we may never know. But it does seem strange given Nvidia cards generally have lower TDP/performance (something all macs struggle with)

The unsubstantiated scuttlebutt is that Apple is pissed at NVidia because when MBP's used Nvidia GPUs there were quality issues

So I guess Apple must be feeling what many Apple customers have been feeling for some time? :)
