I am new to the forum and hope I'm asking this in the correct forum. Has anyone got a K2000 or NVS 510 to work with Big Sur OpenCore MartinLo on cMP 5,1 (these worked fine in Mojave)? I don’t want to buy replacement cards if I can get these to work. Any advice on how to get these to work would really be appreciated (I have 6 of these cards!!). The following dortania link suggests these 2 GPUs should work:

NVIDIA GPUs
# Unsupported NVIDIA GPUs
#Kepler Series (GTX 6xx, 7xx)
# Highest Supported OS: Big Sur (11)
# Initial Supported OS: Mountain Lion (10.
😎

As of Monterey beta 7, Kepler is unsupported. It is still supported in macOS Big Sur.
The K2000 and the NVS 510 both use the GK107 Graphics Processors.

@CaptainZag Big Sur is installed in my cMac Pro 5,1 and I’m using Nvidia kepler Quadro K5000, 680Gtx and 770Gtx. The GPUs works fine in Big Sur and I think they’re still supported. Also installed Monterey using OCLP and installed the Nvidia patch as a fix. In Monterey, so far Nvidia is running fine with no lags. Nvidias are no longer supported in Monterey but did some video editing and transcoding and it was okay. Will be doing more tests.

Thanks for this. I wonder if the difference is that your K5000, GTX 680 and GTX 770 all use the GK104 Graphics Processor, whereas my K2000 and NVS510 use the GK107? Looks like I need to replace my GPUs to run Big Sur. It would be interesting to hear that this is the case i.e. GK107 Kepler Graphics Processors won't work on Big Sur?!

How are you finding performance of Monterey compared to Big Sur? I just installed Big Sur on my 5,1 two days ago and have waffled over installing Monterey but I'm in a similar boat on the video card (Mac flashed GTX 680) that works fine under Big Sur but I know needs the patch to work in Monterey.

Sorry I'm still on Big Sur - now 11.6.2. I didn't get anywhere with getting the NVIDIA Quadro (GK107) K2000 and NVS510 cards working with Bi Sur. I'm now trying an AMD Sapphire HD 7950 Dual-X with Boost, but the screen keeps freezing in Big Sur or Mojave using OpenCore as the bootloader, but fine with Mojave booting without OpenCore? I bought the HD 7950 hoping I could move to Monterey as it is in theory supported, but the screen just freezes as soon as I try Youtube videos or other streaming of viseos.
