If you could get Nvidia driver support on Mac’s I bet Apple would have sold more MacPro’s.

If unfamiliar: it is a big deal that AAPL & NVDA again have an official relationship.

For well over the previous decade Apple has not allowed newer nVidia GPUs (by not allowing drivers).

A seven year old GPU (e.g. VEGA64, RTX1080Ti) can still process more tokens/second than most Apple Silicon (particularly the lower-ends).

As discussed elsewhere, Apple MAX/Ultra processors are best-suited for huge models (but are not as fast as e.g. RTX5090).
