Check compatibility
Sep 28, 2018 It is still uncertain when will NVIDIA release any Web Drivers for macOS Mojave, but we can try a workaround. Make sure you backup your system before continuing. In September, Nvidia responded, 'Apple fully control drivers for Mac OS. But if Apple allows, our engineers are ready and eager to help Apple deliver great drivers for Mac OS 10.14 (Mojave).' In October, Nvidia followed this up with another public announcement, 'Apple fully controls drivers for Mac OS. Unfortunately, Nvidia currently cannot.
You can upgrade to macOS Mojave from OS X Mountain Lion or later on any of the following Mac models. Your Mac also needs at least 2GB of memory and 12.5GB of available storage space, or up to 18.5GB of storage space when upgrading from OS X Yosemite or earlier.
MacBook introduced in 2015 or later
MacBook Air introduced in 2012 or later
MacBook Pro introduced in 2012 or later
Mac mini introduced in 2012 or later
iMac introduced in 2012 or later
iMac Pro (all models)
Mac Pro introduced in 2013, plus mid-2010 or mid-2012 models with a recommended Metal-capable graphics card.

Nvidia Drivers For Mac Os Mojave
To find your Mac model, memory, storage space, and macOS version, choose About This Mac from the Apple menu . If your Mac isn't compatible with macOS Mojave, the installer will let you know.
Make a backup
Before installing any upgrade, it’s a good idea to back up your Mac. Time Machine makes it simple, and other backup methods are also available. Learn how to back up your Mac.
Get connected
It takes time to download and install macOS, so make sure that you have a reliable Internet connection. If you're using a Mac notebook computer, plug it into AC power.
Download macOS Mojave
For the strongest security and latest features, find out whether you can upgrade to macOS Catalina, the latest version of the Mac operating system.
If you still need macOS Mojave, use this App Store link: Get macOS Mojave.
Begin installation
After downloading, the installer opens automatically.
Click Continue and follow the onscreen instructions. You might find it easiest to begin installation in the evening so that it can complete overnight, if needed.
If the installer asks for permission to install a helper tool, enter the administrator name and password that you use to log in to your Mac, then click Add Helper.
Allow installation to complete
Please allow installation to complete without putting your Mac to sleep or closing its lid. Your Mac might restart, show a progress bar, or show a blank screen several times as it installs both macOS and related updates to your Mac firmware.

- If you have hardware or software that isn't compatible with Mojave, you might be able to install an earlier macOS, such as High Sierra, Sierra, or El Capitan.
- macOS Mojave won't install on top of a later version of macOS, but you can erase your disk first or install on another disk.
- You can use macOS Recovery to reinstall macOS.
Understand the GPU and GPU driver requirements for Premiere Pro for the October 2018 and later releases of Premiere Pro (version 13.0 and later)
After upgrading to Premiere Pro version 13.0, there may be driver issues, and you may need to upgrade your driver.
Some of the driver issues that you could face are:
- Green, pink, or purple streaks in Premiere Rush and Premiere Pro after importing a file or in the exported file. For more information on fixing this error, see Green and pink video in Premiere Pro CC 13.0 or Premiere Rush CC 1.0.
- Renderer option is grayed out when you navigate to File > Project Settings > General.
- Intermittent crash while editing.
- No previews, garbled previews, frame drops, performance issues including slow playback or frame glitches.This article explains what’s needed for using CUDA, Intel, and Apple Metal graphics with the 2019 versions of Premiere Pro (13.0 and higher).
Note:
Adobe strongly recommends updating to Nvidia studio driver 430.86 or later when using Premiere Pro. Drivers prior to this have a known issue which can lead to a crash.
NVIDIA CUDA graphics acceleration requires CUDA 9.2 drivers.
CUDA is not a requirement for running the Adobe video apps, but if you prefer CUDA graphics acceleration, you must have CUDA 9.2 drivers from NVIDIA installed on your system before upgrading to Premiere Pro versions 13.0 and later.
You can run Premiere Pro with the latest GeForce series GPUs or Quadro Series cards.
These drivers are updated regularly so check the NVIDA website to be sure you have the most current version for your GPU.
You can find the latest GPU drivers here:
Updating display driver and CUDA 9.2 driver for MacOS
Here are the requirements for running CUDA 9.2 on macOS:
- Requires macOS 10.13.6 (most recent version of High Sierra).
- A current NVIDIA GPU with at least 4 GB of memory.
- NVIDIA display driver version 387.10.10.10.40.105.
Note:
Mac0S 10.14 (Mojave) does not currently support CUDA.
Make sure you update the device driver before you install the CUDA driver. You can update the device driver from the following locations:
- Display driver: version 387.10.10.10.40.105 (direct download).
- CUDA driver: 130_macos (direct download).
Adobe supports those versions of Windows and macOS that are still actively supported by Microsoft and Apple. For macOS, that typically means the three most recent versions.
That holds true for the latest releases as well. However to realize the performance benefits of Apple’s Metal graphics acceleration, the 2019 version of Premiere Pro needs to run on either macOS 10.13 (High Sierra) or the recently launched 10.14 (Mojave).
You can still run Premiere Pro on macOS 10.12 using OpenCL graphics acceleration, but Metal provides 15-20 percent faster rendering and Adobe recommends it for optimum performance.
The 2019 version of Premiere Pro (version 13.0 and later) requires a recent version of the Intel graphics driver. Adobe Premiere Pro has qualified Intel driver version 100.6286 as a baseline to avoid any stability and performance issues. We recommend updating your Intel drivers to the baseline drivers or above.
Note:
100.6286 refers to the last two places of the complete version of the Intel driver (i.e. 24.20.100.6286)
It is recommended that you try to obtain a compatible driver from your PC manufacturer. If a compatible version is not available, Intel makes a generic version available on its website: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/27988.
Note:
If your driver is older than 100.6286 and your PC manufacturer does not provide a compatible version, it is recommended that you do not install a version later than 100.6286 from the Intel site. Driver version 100.6444 is a Windows DCH driver which does not install cleanly on top of older, legacy drivers.
Adobe highly recommends making a backup of your system, first. If you have difficulty installing the driver, you may find the following article helpful: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005629.html.
If you are using a system with dual GPUs, then:
- Premiere Pro with Open CL: Premiere Pro first checks for the Intel/AMD driver.
- Premiere Pro with CUDA: Premiere Pro first checks for the NVIDIA driver.
