macOS 10.14 Mojave on Unsupported Macs Thread

NVIDIA GTX 680 supports METAL and you can use it with Mojave + MP3,1.
Install 10.14 on an empty disk and then check your FCPX performance, but MP3,1 general performance is nowhere near a newer Mac Pro. Besides the weak CPU, MP3,1 per default configure PCIe cards as 2,5GT/s and have half PCIe performance as MP5,1 if you don't manually reconfigure it with setpci for 5GT/s.
Anyway, don't make much sense investing on a GPU like VEGA56 for a MP3,1. With a MP4,1>5,1 or a real MP5,1 you get a much powerful CPU, possibility of using up to 12 cores with a dual CPU tray, you can use fast NVMe drives and much faster GPUs for FCPX.

well, nobody tested it on 10.14.4 (and older versions) . Since it's userspace library that's got patched, if abi wasn't changed, it works. wouldn't work with 10.14.0 anyway neacuse opengl driver there uses sse4.2 as well
I don't know much about AMDs GPUs and I understand they need a different treatment, but with @ASentientBot patches from 10.14.0 to 10.14.6 beta1 we are able to use Nvidia Tesla OpenGL driver fully working with a Penryn Core2Duo cpu SSE4.1 .
Hi, I've installed Mojave to my Macbook 5.2 (early 2009).
I applied the patch for use light mode, the one that disappears when I reboot.
Is there a way to maintain the patch applied even after reboot? I love trasparency on dock, so I wouldn't use the trasparency reduction of Mac.
Or is there a way to change the color of bar only?
Thanks

That combo is what I'm already using now.
But I have had the original ATI 5770 1Gb before, and I did a test in order to compare it with the GTX680 2Gb on Mojave... it's a wellknown test for FCP users... and the result is that now (on same machine, so nothing related with PCIe IMHO) is that it needs almost 2 times for making same work.
Please forgive the noob question but I managed to get the High Sierra Patch on my Early 2008 (3,1) machine installed.
I have a GeForce Titan X and went for High Sierra because I gathered it would not work with Mojave.
Does the statement by @dosdude1 above mean I can to go Mojave with that card?
I believe you are taking this statement out of the proper context and therefore assigning a wrong meaning to it. You should have read at least about 10-20 pages leading up to that statement. 10.14.4 proved to be the most challenging version so far and to this day it is still have a lot of issues. This statement sums up the excitement of finding that using some frameworks from the 10.14.3 brings acceleration back to the 10.14.4(albeit with some other issues).
I believe the Titan X uses a Pascal core. There are no drivers in Mojave for Nvidia cards above the Kepler series (GTX 680 etc). There is an early Titan card that uses the Kepler core and that would probably work but not the latest Titan X. Using HS and Nvidia drivers is probably the best way for you with that card. You may be lucky and have a Kepler core.

I've been reading (and trust me my eyes are crossed from 635 pages of forum) about Mojave working on the MacBook 4,1. How? How do I do this? My 5,2 died and I desperately need to finish my book. To do that, I need something that can read APFS and Pages.
If I don't get wrong the front page indicates that there are two Mojave patchers available. The one you want is put together by @0403979. He would be the best to help you with it.
There is a link to instructions in the first post.

Thanks
The instructions are bringing up a 404. I’ll try with a different browser/computer but heads up
You can use macOS Patcher from the link in my signature or on the front page. A guide is available on the RMC website. The 4,1 does not have acceleration but it will still run Pages perfectly fine. I'd recommend an SSD and a RAM upgrade but even with a hard drive and 2GB of RAM, Mojave still functions on the 4,1. Please contact me if you any issues or questions. Others on this thread can answer general questions on patched Mojave issues but for macOS Patcher specifics you should let me know. Enjoy your patched Mojave experience.
Applying the APFS patch is unnecessary if you have dosdude's APFS ROM patch applied. If done nevertheless, booting will show the scrolling text unless your APFS drive is selected as startup disk.
Done that recently, and then cleaned up the EFI by the procedure described way back on pg228, post#5683. That I guess is the cleanest way after unnecessarily applying the APFS patch in post-install.

Thank you dosdude! It is there now in Patch Updater, I just applied it. And Quicktime looks fine, DVD Player works.

The 4,1 hasn’t had acceleration since Mavericks. I’m used to that lol. I just can’t believe someone got it to work. We all figured it was over after El Capitan
To give credit where credit's due, @Larsvonhier figured most of this out. I actually implemented it blind until a few days ago when I got my 4,1 and was able to test myself. With the recent addition of the WiFi patch, everything should work apart from acceleration.
