Nvidia GPUs receive driver updates soon after each version update of OS X. Only one driver is released by Nvidia and it includes support for all of their modern GPUs. You will not find individually named Nvidia drivers for OS X, they are all titled 'Quadro & Geforce Mac OS X Driver Release xxx.xx.xxxxx'. DailyMed will deliver this notification to your desktop, Web browser, or e-mail depending on the RSS Reader you select to use.

Mac OS Adds Early Support for VirtIO, Qemu In a new development uncovered by Qemu developer Gerd Hoffmann, Apple has apparently added early support for VirtIO and framebuffer graphics in a later Mac OS Mojave release. These new Mac OS drivers (kexts) include support for stdvga and cirrus vga, to what extent still isn’t clear.
In a new development uncovered by Qemu developer Gerd Hoffmann, Apple has apparently added early support for VirtIO and framebuffer graphics in a later Mac OS Mojave release.
These new Mac OS drivers (kexts) include support for stdvga and cirrus vga, to what extent still isn’t clear. What will probably be more interesting for passthrough users, though, is the addition of virtio-blk for disk passthrough and virtio-9p for drive sharing.

In Hoffmann’s testing, both work with a little tweaking. He states that the virtio-blk driver only works in legacy mode, and the 9p share just needs to be mounted.
Clearly further testing is going to be needed to work out best practices and methodology, but it’s an extremely encouraging sign for those using Mac OS VMs daily.
Once we work out exactly how to support these features, it will mean better disk performance and more seamless host-guest communication.
Mac-OS-SimpleKVM maintainer Foxlet observed that this may be due to the re-introduction of rack mount mac pros, which would make perfect sense.
The high-spec models will be more than capable of advanced virtualization, so Apple is probably doing what they can to support that endeavor for customers. It may not be their intention, but this might also vastly improve quality of life for Hackintosh OS X VM users as well.
It’s still early days, so we may very well see increased VirtIO driver support in future releases. Networking might even be on the table. In the meantime, all we can do is wait and hope that new kexts keep rolling in.
We’ll continue covering this as the situation develops, and hopefully have a method for leveraging these changes soon. In the meantime, if any tinkerers want to test VirtIO, please let us know how it goes on our discord or in the comments.

WASHINGTON (October 21, 2020) —The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has now approved more than 500 surface disinfectant products for use against SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19. This is an important milestone for ensuring American businesses, families, schools, and other organizations have as many tools as possible to disinfect surfaces and protect themselves and their families against the novel coronavirus.
“Since the beginning of this coronavirus pandemic, the Trump Administration has worked to ensure that Americans have access to safe and effective surface disinfectant products to use against the novel coronavirus,” said EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler. “With more than 500 products now on our list of disinfectants, Americans have a wide range of options to choose from to help protect themselves and their families from COVID-19.”
In early March, EPA released its initial List N: Disinfectants for Use Against SARS-CoV-2. This list began with 85 products and continues to be updated on a weekly basis. The list is searchable and sortable, comes with helpful tips on how to use disinfectants properly, and features frequently asked questions to ensure correct product usage. EPA’s List N has received more than 20 million views and remains a valuable resource for the public.
The more than 500 wipes, sprays and other products on List N are expected to be effective against SARS-CoV-2 because they demonstrate efficacy against:
When using an EPA-registered disinfectant, it is important to follow the label directions for safe, effective use. These directions include, but are not limited to:
If an EPA-registered disinfectant from List N is not available, diluted household bleach can be used to disinfect surfaces. Users should closely follow the bleach dilution directions on the CDC's website, including precautions.
Please note that according to the CDC, while “it may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes,” the virus is thought to spread mainly through close contact between individuals.
Background
Since the U.S. Department of Health Services declared the coronavirus a public health emergency in January 2020, EPA has aggressively worked to ensure that Americans are aware of and have access to effective surface disinfectant products to use against SARS-CoV-2. These actions include:
