I just wanted to ask the EVGA team if you could please port your software over to Mac OS X as well. In this day and age, it's not that hard. Even small developers do it with no problems.

We need GPU overclocking and tempetute monitoring. Along with CPU AIO fan control and temp monitoring.
There are lots of Mac users buying your products.
Please, please support you're customers.

Please let us know your response. I am also on other Mac OS X forums and they would like to know your thoughts, or if you are bothered with this at all?

    There are a lot of Mac users buying your product may be an overstatement unless unknown to me bunches of people are building Macs? I mean it's not that it couldn't be done, but I don't think they even have a Linux version of a lot of stuff and there's probably more users there then mac

    People buy them for upgrades on macs, and pretty much anyone building hackintoshes.
    Most editors is on a Mac, and most motion graphics/design CG artists are on Macs. There are even websites and companies that do nothing but flash and firmware update Macs just so they can run GTX cards.

    Both Octane and Redshift GPU renderers develop Mac OS versions of their software, redshift completely only being cuda driven (Nvidia)

    So yes, lots of Mac users are buying evga cards. If not for believing me, believe the software companies spending substantial amounts of money developing Mac OS X driven GPU, cuda compute only renderers. They certainly have enough revenue of license purchases to warrant intertaining developing and maintaining Mac OS X versions of thief render engines

    (I personally have used nothing but evga cards for the last 10 years on Mac OS X)

    Great company, great products, great community, just some Mac OS X software is missing!

    I can't speak for EVGA but to support MAC (Apple) would mean that EVGA would need to make sufficient money to cover the investment.

    AMD Ryzen 9 7950X,  Corsair Mp700 Pro M.2, 64GB Corsair Dominator Titanium DDR5  X670E Steel Legend, MSI RTX 4090 Associate Code: H5U80QBH6BH0AXF. I am NOT an employee of EVGA

    I guess thats the question,
    How much investment does it take these days to port a version to to Mac OSX given that a lot of boutique software developers do it.

    Since the Windows version is a buggy mess of update after update, I don't know if splitting the developement time between two operating systems is very likely.

    ASRock Z77 • Intel Core i7 3770K • EVGA GTX 1080 • Samsung 850 Pro • Seasonic PRIME 600W Titanium
    My EVGA Score: 1546 • Zero Associates Points • I don't shill
