While there's been no deal officially announced, Matt Soell mentioned in a previous story (see below) that Nvidia had provided Bungie with video acceleration cards for testing purposes.
According to a story by David Read on MacWeek.com, Nvidia may be providing Mac-compatible cards as early as next year. From the story:
At this time, Nvidia and Apple have no signed deals. Additionally, Nvidia has no current deals with an OEM vendor to bring a GeForce card to the Mac, said Nvidia public-relations director Derek Perez. However, Nvidia will most likely have an announcement about a Mac product within the next six to eight months. Nvidia does not manufacture its own boards to sell to end-users. Instead, it sells graphics processors to other companies, such as Dell Computer or Creative Technology, to incorporate into their products. As a result, Nvidia would have to team with Apple or another vendor to bring its technology to the Mac.
And despite no deal being announced right now, it seems as if Nvidia will be ready to rock and roll the minute they do:
Traditionally, Nvidia ships its products within days of announcing them. Perez said the company will follow this pattern if it announces a Mac implementation. The net result is that you shouldn't expect a formal announcement until Nvidia has a fully working product.
Bungie supports OpenGL and D3D in Halo, and appears to be testing internally on Nvidia cards. Apple now supports OpenGL wholeheartedly as the 3D API of choice on the Macintosh platform, and Nvidia is possibly signing on to provide OEM video cards for Macintosh computers. It all adds up to good news for Mac gamers.
