No, you've misunderstood again.

Nvidia's eGPU web drivers already supported Metal in High Sierra [0]. Apple refuses to sign their drivers for Mojave and up. Without Apple's signature, GPU drivers will not run on macOS, OSS or not.

Ah, that's interesting.

I know there are some older Nvidia cards that do work on Mac, but most of the recent GTX/RTX/etc. ones don't. Are they similarly Metal (and just missing a signature)?

Because whenever I was actually keeping up with this, the stalemate was over Nvidia not leveraging Metal.
