I have been doing my own testing of Metal supported GPU. On top of the list of AMD Radeon products, I've found some older PCIe NVIDIA cards fully compatible as well including:
NVIDIA Quadro 4000
NVIDIA Quadro 5000 Apple mac new.
Package includes: NVIDIA Quadro K5000 for Mac graphics board Stereo connector bracket Two Display Port to mini-Display Port adapters DVI-I to VGA adapter Quick Start Guide PNY Advantage 3-Year Warranty Pre-and post sales assistance Toll-free professional technical support Dedicated Field Application Engineers Product Specifications CUDA Cores.
In order to run macOS Applications that leverage the CUDA architecture of certain NVIDIA graphics cards, users will need to download and install the driver for Mac located here. New in Release 378.05.05.25f01: Graphics driver updated for macOS Sierra 10.12.6 (16G29) Contains performance improvements and bug fixes for a wide range of applications. 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'.
I will be updating this list if I find more NVIDIA compatible cards. I suspect that a NVIDIA Quadro M4000, Quadro K5200, Quadro P4000, Quadro P5000, NVIDIA Titan X, NVIDIA GTX 780, GeForce 8800GT, and NVIDIA Titan Xp would also be fully Metal compatible, but I've not verified that in macOS High Sierra or macOS Mojave.
Mac Pro, macOS Mojave (10.14.1)
Nvidia Quadro K5000 For Mac Mojave
