Well, you don't have to wait for the right Nvidia drivers anymore since they've stopped releasing them. 980 GTX Ti is as far as it can go now.

Is this just because the newer cards are so new, or will there never be drivers released anymore? That's a bummer. And makes me feel slightly more confident on going back to Windows from Hackintosh. It likely wouldn't affect me for a few more years, since this 970-based, Intel gen 5, desktop that I built up a couple years ago, still has plenty of longevity left in it.

I think what he's trying to say is that you're stuck a generation behind in GPU's - for example there are no Pascal drivers for Nvidia.

For anything earlier, Nvidia periodically releases drivers about a month later than the OS version bumps. There are drivers for 10.12.4.

That's it. With any future releases being under a dark cloud of doubt.

You still need to update them in tandem with OS updates, but your point is well taken.
