It seems pretty clear that:
- They have no drivers for Mojave.
- They need help making Mojave drivers.
- They are trying to get help from Apple to make Mojave drivers.
Where in that statement do you see any hint or mention of hackintoshers?
Well I'm not referring to hackintoshing, for one I have a Thunderbolt 3 eGPU sitting here with a NVIDIA card that I can currently only use in bootcamp.
Not to mention I work for a creative agency with 20 cheesegrater MacPro's with NVIDIA GPUs in them that I want to upgrade to Mojave. That isn't going to happen since it is going to kill all their graphics output! We rely on the NVIDIA WebDrivers to keep them running.
Anyone else waiting extremely patiently for NVIDIA drivers for Mojave?
Anyone have any news because I cant find anything anywhere?

Just don’t know why you still have these cheese grater computers with Nvidia cards in them when these GPUs can’t output 10 bit color. If you want your agency to be competitive you’re using the least efffective solution here if your work is color specific.
And if you ever want to get into something like 8K video and compositing you have CPU, memory bandwidth and PCIE bottlenecks in those system that you can’t magically make go away with third party add ons. The motherboard is out of date.
You are better off investing in MBP with Thunderbolt GPU and storage, or wait for the new Mac Pro. Don’t waste any more money on that cheese grater junk. Use it with High Sierra until you are ready to invest.
They might be out of date, but they're still very excellent and very capable (and most importantly - upgradable) machines. And the cards can indeed output 10-bit colour, we're actually limited by the cheap monitors we're using that limits us to 8-bit! Besides our clients don't give a stuff about 10-bit colour anyway and we don't do HDR work. 4k yes, 8k is way far far off to even think about right now.
MacBook Pro with Thunderbolt GPU isn't going to cut it either, since both cheese graters and Thunderbolt GPU's are both limited to 4x PCIe so you're not gaining or losing anything there, and the MacBook Pro's max out at 32Gb RAM. Our editing suites all have 64 and 96Gb RAM in them to cope with the work that we do. No one is going to furnish an edit suite with a MacBook.
I'm sorry, but I think you're wrong on all points.
We do have some Trash Can Macs for the higher demand onlining (and they have to sit in Sonnet chassis to we can use Blackmagic SDI breakout boards), but for offline we're sticking with cheese graters.
Alright then.I’m the main guy on the pro forums who was testing the web drivers for 9 series Nvidia cards in cheese grater Macs. For 3 years I’ve reported every issue, every bug, and benchmarked these more than anyone.
You’re arguing with the wrong guy.
Your graphics card is still working. The lack of drivers is only a problem with aftermarket cards.I just wonder, my MacBookPro has a NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048 MB and I'm running Mojave. Does that mean that the grafic card is not being used anymore ? I just see that the quality of my external monitor (AOC Q2770) got worse after Mojave update.

I've been checking out this script, it locates, downloads, patches and installs the best available Nvdia driver for your system.I would love to know when the NVIDIA drivers are ready for mojave.

So far It's working pretty good on my MacPro running Mojave 10.14.2

The script in the provided link is not GT640 specific, it finds the best driver for whatever GPU of the machine it is running on.Oh GT 640
I read that for 4k output and 4k video playback it's not good.
I have 3 monitors all of them 4k.
I don't mind using a basic graphic card I never game.
But I do watch YouTube and 4k content and all screens have big resolutions.

I'm aware that it is what you choose to call a "hack", just as I'd hope that you are aware that in order to run "Mojave" on an unsupported 2008 MacPro3,1 SIP needs to remain disabled.This is a hack and might not be doing what you think considering you are using a 640. If you have to disable SIP then you are taking further risks.
