Nvidia GPUs receive driver updates soon after each version update of OS X. Only one driver is released by Nvidia and it includes support for all of their modern GPUs. You will not find individually named Nvidia drivers for OS X, they are all titled 'Quadro & Geforce Mac OS X Driver Release xxx.xx.xxxxx'. If you are planning to create a cracking rig for research purposes check out GPU hashcat benchmark table below. We tested hashcat against a lot of GPUs. We found that some old GPU (and cheap) give awesome results, at the cost of more power hungry GPU. In particular, we recommend buying AMD 7950 or R9 280 or better. We found those model very cheap.
How do I update graphics drivers?
It is essential and important to have up-to-date drivers for your graphics cards when running Filmora Video Editor on your computer. In order to avoid the compatibility issues like crashing, freezing, lagging and slow performance, we suggest you to keep your graphics drivers up-to-date.
