mid-2012 MBP with NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M on macOS Catalina

Hi, I am on High Sierra and I want to do a clean install of macOS Catalina, but I'm worried the NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M onboard will not be supported as the last driver was released way back through the years, can anyone confirm if it will work?

final cut pro x 10.4.7 on nvidia GT 750m macbook? Hello people. I have a macbook late 2013 with a Nvidia Geforce GT 750M 2gb. I'm using High Sierra since new OS versions do not support nvidia drivers. If I update to Catalina and use default driver, Can I expect slower performance of final cut pro X? Many thanks! Pablo

2013 iMac NVIDIADriver I have a late 2013 27" iMac. 32 GB RAM. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M video card, 4GB VRAM. I recently had the drive wiped and they did a fresh reinstall of Mojave. All data was then migrated from my backup. I now do not have the option of choosing the NVIDIA web driver over the Mac OS driver. It's greyed out in the control panel. Some applications I use in video work are misbehaving a bit. Could this be related? NVIDIA has dropped support and drivers appear to be no longer available. I did find a site with what appears to be the last available, but for High Sierra. Solutions?

Using FCP X on Mac Book Pro (2015) with Mojave I unfortunately upgraded to Mojave on my circa 2015 Mac Book Pro and as is with most "upgrades" it screwed up a lot of things on my computer. I also am aware of the nvidia apple wars currently going on and that Apple is trying to promote their Metal solution. My question is that I dont have FCP X yet but thinking about purchasing this for my mac Book Pro 2015 with Mojave. Seeing that I cant even upgrade the Nvidia driver due to Apple not allowing this right now, is there going to be a problem if I were to purchase FCP X and the drivers are not updated? Or should I downgrade to High Sierra? I have some 3D editing I need to work on with FCP X

It will work – your Mac is on the list of compatible models for Catalina.
