30 Comments on The best Hackintosh GPU?

1. @9to5Mac; what card would you recommend for a Hackintosh running Davinci Resolve 14?

   • An Nvidia card.

   • cool thanks!
     cheers
     ron:)

   • Now I know what I’m switching to soon!

2. I’d like to see your Hackintosh vs an Akitio Node with MacBook Pro setup.

3. You are the only one giving us real thought out solutions to our Mac needs! Thank you! Any tests with the 1080ti and 480 in Premiere would be greatly appreciated as well!

4. Why is it that these reviews and benchmarks only mention video production as a “professional” task that computers are used for? There are other areas of professional work that others would appreciate attention to like architectural rendering times or CAD application performance.

   • +C Ford that’s a fair question. I guess it’s because I have little to no experience with those applications and would sound totally ridiculous attempting to speak on them with any authority.

5. can you do another test with Premiere and After Effects? that would be great!
   never thought that AMD card could outperform Nvidia with fcpx though

   • +pumpum000 I will look into that.

   • Premiere and After Effects Please

   • Would also be very interested in this. thanks for all the awesomeness. literally responding from my own hackintosh ❤️

6. I got the 1080

   • +YoungiTechHelping which is no slouch…

7. cool~
   but i may build a hackintosh with dual boot of windows, so i will choose gtx
   btw, will there be a step-by-step of setting up dual boot of windows?

8. You said you were using compressor at 2:05 but all we see is FCPX. Which was it?

   • +JJ Robles it’s Final Cut Pro but exported using the custom Compressor option in the sharing panel. Once you set up Compressor, Final Cit Pro will see your custom settings. If you’re using Final Cut Pro X you should be using Compressor IMO.

   • Ah, so it was a Compressor preset then. I always send my finished project to Compressor to manage multiple targets there, and forgot there was a preset option.

9. Hack an powermac g5 case so your hackintosh can fit inside!

10. Is it possible to use both graphics card and switch when needed?

11. did you delete prerendered cache files between tests? i wonder if that could cause such a win for AMD 🙂

    • +idontcare yes. Started a brand new event.

12. Those GPU’s cost more than my last hackintosh.

13. i think its high time big tech channels start talking about hackintosh more and show you can actually work on it as a full time daily driver

14. What card would be best for heavy 3D cad modeling?

15. My hackintosh wont run with amd gpu 🙁
    Can you make a guide on how to install hackintosh with amd gpu?

16. I love nVidia really mouch but i defendetly chosee AMD for a Hackintosh

17. Why not try the same test with the Rx 580s ?

    • +Rustom H because I don’t own a 580.

    • fair enough lol.
