Some of you can assist me. I'm planning a HackIntosh build focused on music production, but I'm unsure about potential issues and whether the setup will actually work. Here are my specs: i5 2400 Acer Veriton S6610g, 12GB DDR3 at 1333MHz, GTX 660.

No NVIDIA drivers available for Mac OS (at least for currently supported versions). This won’t work for a hackintosh. It may function with the built-in GPU.

They did back in the day, but not as prominently as later.

In fact, your understanding is incorrect. Kepler GPUs are compatible with macOS Mojave and beyond without requiring any drivers. However, they utilize the GK106 core. Apple has never fully supported this model, which increases the likelihood of VRAM leakage when using the operating system. It's not a certainty, but it's worth testing.

You asked about the previous release that included support features. Since you're not using a Mac, I'll keep the information general and straightforward.

Unless you're using Kepler, it was High Sierra. With Kepler cards, though, you can go up to Big Sur. There is the GK106 VRAM leak bug, but there are a few people (me not included... yet) who have run macOS on a GK106 card with no bugs.

The majority of Nvidia graphics cards were compatible until macOS High Sierra was released. The GTX 10 lineup is the latest supported option. If a user has an older Mac Pro—such as a 5,1—running a card like the GTX 1080 Ti they’re restricted to macOS High Sierra. There’s no alternative. Some older models (like those referenced by @FakeKGB) remain functional since certain older Macs still support macOS Big Sur, along with Mojave and Catalina.
